Fitting the Collar on Your Dog
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

Position the collar with the VHF whip antenna pointing up, the
GPS antenna facing up, and the LEDs facing forward.
2
Place the collar around the middle of the dog's neck.
3
Tighten the strap so it is snug around the dog's neck.
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 excess, leaving at least
7.62 cm (3 in.) to spare.

Communication with the Collar

You should keep an unobstructed line of sight between your
handheld device and the dog collar device to produce the best
communication signal. To achieve the best line-of-sight
conditions, you should move to the highest elevation point in
your area (for example, on the top of a hill).
