Important Notice

Caution
This product is not intended to be used on human beings.
E-Collar Technologies, Inc. is not responsible for any misuse of this product including damages from dog bites and lost items. Seek evalua­ tion by a professional trainer before use for aggressive dogs. It is common for aggressive dogs to associate the stimulation with the handler and take action against the handler. Sometimes dogs put under e-collar pressure during a fight can exhibit redirected aggression and become more aggressive.
At the default setting, the stimulation level is not locked. To prevent giving accidental shock, lock the proper stimulation level for the dog’s safety.
The maximum range of Educator 900 Series may vary according to terrain, weather condition, green area, or telephone pole as well as a radio wave from other radio devices.
E-Collar 900 Series provide connecting with PC. You can change most of the options by using a computer tool which can download at http://ecollar.com.
Vibration type and Tone type are changeable by computer tool only.

CORRECTLY FITTING COLLAR

The collar should be adjusted to allow the contact points” to have direct contact with the skin. You should be able to fit a couple of fingers between the collar strap and your dog’s skin.
Too tight poses the risk of skin irritation and discomfort. Too loose and the contact points will not be able to administer the stimulation reliably and can cause skin irritation due to chafing. Short hair breeds may need the 3/8 microprobes offered as an accessory item, contact customer service for details. The optimal position for the collar receiver is on either side of the dog’s windpipe. f the factory installed 5/8 contact points are not making good contact due to thick fur, see page 24 for changing contact points.

IMPORTANT NOTICE
To prevent the occurrence of skin irritations the Collar Receiver should never be worn for more than 12 hours per day. Should your dog experience skin irritations from over-exposure to the contact points remove the collar receiver unit immediately and stop using your e-collar until all skin irritations are completely healed. Antibiotic ointment will aid in the healing process. Some dog breeds have extra thick fur or extra short fur that requires special contact points. Please contact our customer service or visit www.ecollar.com for more information

HOW TO CHANGE THE CONTACT POINTS

If “contact points” do not fit for your dog due to long hair, you can easily change the contact point with the contact point tool. Follow diagrams step by step.

Important Training Tip
E-Collars should be used to reinforce commands your dog already knows. It is not a replacement for basic leash obedience training, but a tool to allow you to better communicate with your dog. For best results, use the least amount of stimulation required to get compliance from your dog. A calm and consistent approach to training will always produce better long-term results.
It is highly recommended that aggressive dogs be taken to a professional trainer for evaluation before e-collar use. There are many different e-collar training techniques recommended by a variety of professional trainers. We believe you, the owner of the dog, can best determine the most successful technique for your dog. YouTube has many videos demonstrating these varying techniques by simply searching “educator e-collar training” or “remote dog training techniques with an educator”.

I think the receiver gives no stimulation at all
A. Remove Contact points from Receiver. Connect Test Light on the Receiver and try any stimulation. If the test light is blinking, the receiver is giving a stimulation.
