Innotek Automatic No-bark Collar BC-50E - Manual (Page 4)

STEP 1
ADJUST THE COLLAR STRAP TO YOUR DOG’S NECK.
Before installing the battery, adjust the collar so it correctly fits your dog.
1. Use short probes for short-haired dogs; use long probes for long-haired or thick-coated dogs.
2. Place the collar around the dog’s neck, so the receiver box is under its chin.
3. The probes should be one inch above or below the dog’s vocal cords, where
vibration from the vocal cords can best be detected.
4. Fit the collar strap as snugly as possible, without restricting breathing. You
should be able to fit just one finger between the strap and your dog’s skin. Make
sure both probes contact the dog's skin.
5. If your dog has a small neck size, you may wish to trim the excess strap length.
Remove the collar from your dog, and trim the excess, leaving 4-6 inches/10-
15 cm (if desired). To prevent fraying of the nylon strap, carefully singe the end
with a lit match.
6. NOTE: An improper loose fit is the #1 troubleshooting issue among owners of No-
Bark Collars. The collar strap must be very snug on your dog’s neck. Make collar
adjustments until you are satisfied with the fit, before powering the unit.
Caution: Check your dog’s skin
Reduce your dog’s risk of developing Pressure Necrosis, a potentially serious condition caused by excessive
pressure of the collar receiver probes against your dog’s skin. Be sure to take the following precautions:
• Do not leave the collar receiver on your dog for more than 12 hours a day, or when you are away from
home.
• Read and follow ALL instructions for use as described in this operation guide.
• Do not put the collar strap too tightly on your dog. You should be able to slide a finger between the strap
and your dog’s skin. If you cannot slide a finger between the strap and your dog’s skin, loosen the strap
until you can.
• Examine your dog’s neck daily for signs of irritation or discomfort. If you observe any unusual conditions
such as redness, tenderness, or raw skin, discontinue use of the product for 48 hours. If the condition
persists, consult your veterinarian.
• Wipe the collar receiver probes and your dog’s neck daily with a damp cloth and mild hand soap. Wipe
thoroughly and dry completely. Note the BC-50E is not waterproof; never submerge in water.
STEP 2
POWER UP
BC-200E: The No-Bark Collar will have a partial charge when you receive it; however, the collar must be fully
charged prior to use.
Remove the gray receptacle plug. Connect the receiver to the 12-v DC adapter that has been supplied. The
collar’s light will glow solid red during charging. Allow 14-16 hours for a full charge. Remember to replace

Proper Fit: The collar strap fit
should be snug, yet loose enough
to allow one finger to fit between
the strap and dog’s neck.
