IMPORTANT SAFETY AND PRODUCT INFORMATION
WARNING
Please read all safety and product information below before using your Dogtra
product. Failure to follow these safety instructions could result in injury to
you, your dog, and others, or it could result in damage to your Dogtra product
or other property.
PRODUCT SAFETY
Training Methods
Dogtra products may be used with a variety of training methods. However, each
dog may have a different reaction to training methods and to Dogtra products.
Closely observe your dog when determining the right training method to use
with your Dogtra product.
Aggressive Dogs
Do not use Dogtra products with aggressive dogs as such dogs may react
adversely and cause injury to people or other dogs. Seek the assistance of a
dog-training specialist or veterinarian when dealing with aggressive dogs.
Children
Dogtra products are not toys. Adult supervision and close attention are
necessary when Dogtra products are used by or near children.
PRODUCT DAMAGE
Electrical Product
Your Dogtra product contains electrical components and batteries. Do not use
or keep your product near heat or flammable sources.
Such use or storage may damage your product and/or cause fire, explosion,
injury, or property damage.
Medical Device Interference
Dogtra products contain electrical and magnetic components that emit low-level
electromagnetic waves and radio frequencies.
These electromagnetic waves or radio frequencies may interfere with
pacemakers, defibrillators, or other medical devices. Consult your physician
or medical device maker before
using your medical device with a Dogtra product. If you think that your Dogtra
product is interfering with your pacemaker, defibrillator, or another medical
device, stop using the Dogtra product.
Inadvertent Activation The digital microprocessor offers thousands of unique
codes to eliminate frequency match-up with other Dogtra e-collars.
UNAUTHORIZED USE
Your Dogtra product should be used only in a humane manner to train and
educate your dog.
Dogtra products are not intended for use in any other manner nor are they
intended for use with other animals or with humans.

batteries as your fingers may get caught. Dispose of batteries as provided by
your local regulations.

AT A GLANCE
OVERVIEW
MAIN FEATURES
|
Replaceable Coin Lithium Battery
---|---
| Water Resistant Receiver
| For
Dogs as Small as 10 lbs
| 6 Intensity Levels
| Reduced Size Receiver
| Vocal Cord Sensor
HOW TO USE THE ON/OFF & INTENSITY DIAL
The On/Off &
Intensity Dial is used to turn the YS200 on and off, and to select the
intensity level. Set the dial to OFF to turn off the YS200. Set the no bark
collar to (1) for
the lowest stimulation setting and (6) for the highest stimulation setting.
NOTE:
Start with the lowest level of stimulation and work your way up. An
appropriate level is when your dog responds to the stimulation with a mild
reaction, such as jerking or tensing of the neck muscles.
TESTING THE YS200
- Turn the intensity dial to level 2 or 3.
- Use the cap end of a ballpoint pen and repeatedly tap between the contact points.
- The unit is working once the LED indicator blinks. Wait 2 seconds and tap again.
- The unit is in normal working condition when the LED indicator blinks again. The LED indicator will only blink when the unit is activated.
REPLACING THE BATTERIES
***** Turn the unit off before attempting to replace the batteries.
- Use a coin to unscrew the battery cover counterclockwise.
- Insert two batteries with the plus sides facing out (both batteries must be facing the same direction).
- Replace the battery cover by screwing it in clockwise. Be sure to place the batteries with the ‘+’ sides facing up and out. To remove the batteries, remove the battery cover and tap the batteries on the palm of your hand.
EXTENDED CONTACT POINTS
Extended contact points are available for purchase for dogs with long and/or
thick coats.
Both contact points must touch your dog’s skin and may require longer contact
points if your dog has a long and/or thick coat.
FITTING THE YS200
It is important to have a proper fit for safe and consistent results.
- Place the YS200 to the left or right of your dog’s vocal cords.
- Both contact points must touch your dog’s skin to properly operate.
- When properly fitted, you should be able to fit two fingers underneath the collar strap.
* Caution: Remove all other collars when using the YS200. Other collars
or buckles may cause the YS200 to inadvertently activate.
Proper Fit
The receiver should be fitted so that the medical-grade stainless steel
contact points press firmly against the dog’s skin. You should be able to fit
two fingers underneath the collar strap. The best location is on either side
of the dog’s windpipe.
Improper Fit
A loose fit can allow the receiver to move around on the dog’s neck, which may
rub against the skin and cause irritation. If the receiver is too loose, the
contact will not be consistent and cause the corrections to be inconsistent.
Attention!
Leaving the receiver in the same location on the dog’s neck for an extended
period of time can cause skin irritation due to the sensitivity from the
contact points. If the dog is to wear the receiver for long periods,
occasionally reposition the receiver every few hours so that the contact
points are moved to a different location on the dog’s neck and remove the
receiver after 8 hours of usage. Make sure you check for skin irritation each
time you use the unit.
TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE
-
My dog has skin irritation.
• This may be due to an improper fit or leaving the receiver in the same location for an extended period of time. If your dog exhibits signs of skin irritation, consult with a
veterinarian. -
My dog is not reacting to the YS200.
• Check the LED indicator while testing the unit. If the LED indicator does not come on, the batteries may need to be replaced.
• Tighten the collar strap around your dog’s neck if it is too loose and make sure the contact points are held firmly against the dog’s skin.
• If your dog has a thick or long coat and you already have the extended contact points, you may need to trim the hair on your dog’s neck so that both contact points are touching your dog’s skin. -
I need to clean the YS200.
• To clean the YS200, make sure the battery cover is closed and fully sealed, and wipe down the unit with a damp cloth. Make sure the unit is completely dry before use.

period. For such repaired or replaced products, the remaining portion of the
original warranty period, or ninety (90) days, whichever is longer, shall

- You bought the product from a Dogtra authorized dealer, and
- You present a receipt or other proof of purchase showing valid purchase date, the name and address of the authorized dealer, and the purchased product identified by model and/or serial number.
Warranty Exclusions
The Warranty does not cover damage, loss, or deterioration to your Dogtra
product caused: by misuse, neglect, abuse, or another improper handling of the
product; by failure to follow use or care instructions; by use of the product
for other than its intended purpose; by accident or natural forces such as
fire or flooding; or by normal wear and tear such as scratches to the product
surface.
The Warranty also does not cover Dogtra products that: are purchased from non-
authorized dealers; are purchased outside of the United States or Canada; have
been damaged during shipment (even if Dogtra paid or arranged for shipping);
have been modified or tampered with in any manner; are opened or repaired by

Other than said Warranty, Dogtra makes no other representations or warranties
whatsoever regarding its products, whether oral or in any product manual, on
any packaging, on any website, or in any other written material.
No dealer of Dogtra products, nor any employee or agent of Dogtra, is
authorized to make any additions, changes, or extensions to the Warranty.
Dogtra, at its sole discretion and at any time, reserves the right to modify
the Warranty.
DISCLAIMER OF OTHER WARRANTIES
THE FOREGOING WARRANTY IS PROVIDED IN LIEU OF ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, WHETHER
EXPRESS OR IMPLIED. DOGTRA DISCLAIMS ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES INCLUDING, BUT NOT
LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A
PARTICULAR
PURPOSE.
Limitation of Remedies
Dogtra’s liability is limited to the cost of repair or replacement of the
Dogtra product under Warranty. Any claim or action to enforce the Warranty
must be commenced within thirty (30) days of the Warranty’s expiration for
your product. Dogtra will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special,
consequential, or similar damages based on breach of warranty, breach of

Legal Rights May Vary By State or Jurisdiction
The Warranty gives You specific legal rights, and You may also have other
rights which vary by state or jurisdiction. Some states or jurisdictions do
not allow certain limitations of implied warranties or of incidental or
consequential damages or other remedies, so certain of the foregoing
limitations may not apply to You.
If any portion of the Warranty is held by a court to be invalid or
unenforceable, the remaining portions of the Warranty shall remain in full
force and effect and shall in no way be affected or invalidated, and the
invalid or unenforceable portion shall be modified so as to most nearly
achieve the intent of the Warranty.
