Fitting the Collar on Your Dog
CAUTION
Do not spray the device or collar with
harsh chemicals including but not limited
to flea or tick spray. Always ensure that
any flea or tick spray that is applied to the
dog is completely dry before placing the
collar on the dog. Small amounts of harsh
chemicals can damage the plastic
components and collar laminate.
Before you can put the collar on the dog,
you must pair the handheld device and
collar (page 3), and acquire satellite
signals (page 3).
Position the collar with the whip

antenna pointing up, the GPS antenna
facing up, and the LEDs facing
forward.
Place the collar around the middle of

the dog's neck.
Tighten the strap so it is snug around

NOTE: The collar should fit tightly and
should not be able to rotate or slide on
the dog's neck. The dog must be able
to swallow food and water normally.
You should observe your dog's

behavior to verify the collar is not too
tight.
If the strap is too long, cut off the
4
excess, leaving at least 7.62 cm (3 in.)
to spare.
