Selecting and Installing the Contact Points

CAUTION

To prevent irritation from the contact points, remove the collar for at least eight hours out of every 24-hour period.

Do not spray the device 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 strap.

For best results, select the correct contact points based on your dog’s coat.

Select the correct contact point length for your dog’s coat type:
- For dogs with thicker coats, use the longer contact points.
- For dogs with shorter coats, use the shorter contact points.
If necessary, use the included wrench to remove the contact points.
Twist the contact points into the collar.
Tighten with the included wrench, but do not overtighten.
When you put the collar on the dog, make sure the contact points are tight against the neck.

Fitting the Collar on Your Dog

CAUTION To prevent irritation from the contact points, remove the collar for at least eight hours out of every 24-hour period.
This device is not intended for human use. Do not attempt to use on any person.
Do not spray the device 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 strap.

Before you can put the collar on the dog, you must pair the navigator and dog device (page 3), and acquire satellite signals (page 3).
In order to effectively train the dog, the collar must fit the dog properly. If the collar is too loose or positioned incorrectly, stimulation may be inconsistent. This can delay or prevent successful training.

Position the collar with the communication antenna pointing up, the GPS antenna facing up, the LEDs facing forward, and the contact points against the neck.
Place the collar around the middle of the dog’s neck.
Tighten the strap so that it is snug around the dog’s neck, and fasten the buckle.
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 that the collar is not too tight.
Wiggle the device to work the contact points through the dog’s coat.
NOTE: The contact points must have contact with the dog’s skin to be effective.
If the strap is too long, cut off the excess, leaving at least 7.62 cm (3 in.) to spare.
TIP: You can mark the hole used to fasten the buckle for future reference.

Dog Tracking and Training
One navigator can track multiple dog devices and other navigators.

Dog Tracking
The navigator allows you to track your dog or multiple dogs, using the tracking compass or map. The map displays your location and your dog’s location and tracks. The compass pointer indicates the direction of the dog’s current location.

Dog Training

NOTICE

You should research and investigate the training methods best suited for you, your dog, and your needs. This manual provides some basic guidelines for training, but each dog has unique training needs.
When used properly, the training system is a very effective training tool to aid your dog in reaching its full potential. The use of the training system should be part of an overall training program.
Begin training your dog on a leash, without the training system. You should train your dog how to heel, sit, and come to you. After the dog understands these three basic commands, you can begin training with the dog device and the leash. Finally, when the dog consistently obeys commands using the leash and collar, you may be able to remove the leash to train with only the dog device.

Communication with the Dog Device

You should keep an unobstructed line of sight between your navigator and dog 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).
