Product Safety
Important: Your dog should be able to wear the collar comfortably
for several hours at a time. The collar is not designed, however, to be
worn continuously. To prevent irritation caused by rubbing, remove
the collar for at least eight hours out of every 24-hour period. Also,
remote training collars are designed to be worn snugly; a collar that
is too lose can contribute to skin irritation due to rubbing. Take a
moment every day to inspect your dog’s neck for redness or irritation,
and temporarily discontinue collar use if signs of skin irritation
appear.
Scientific animal safety studies have been designed and conducted for
Tri-Tronics by veterinarians and physiologists at a major university.
The scientific investigations involved parameters of electrical
stimulation that are similar to those in your remote trainer. The
scientific studies tested for possible cardiopulmonary and epidermal
effects of Tri-Tronics electrical stimulation applied to the ventral
surface of the neck of healthy dogs. These studies found no clinically
significant changes in electrocardiograms, blood pressures, or properties
of the skin underlying the contact points.
Please note: Even though Tri-Tronics products are safe, they are
intended for use only in the training of healthy dogs. It is always wise
before any type of training to have your dog checked by a veterinarian.
other than the Upland G2 can operate the Beeper if the intensity dial
is set for “A” (accessory). In this case, any transmitter button will
turn the Beeper on or off.
On the Upland G2 the intensity dial must be on a number, not “N,”
“T” or “A,” for the button to operate the Beeper. Complete instruc-
tions for Beeper operation are in the Beeper Owner’s Guide.
Care and Cleaning
• Check contact points and transmitter antenna for tightness regularly
• Clean the receiver with clean drinking water if it has been used
in salt or brackish water
• Clean the receiver charging contacts prior to charging
if they are dirty
• Wipe connections for the cradle with a dry, clean cloth.
• For best battery life, do not store your remote trainer in very warm
areas such as the dashboard of a closed vehicle. For best battery
performance, avoid transporting or storing your remote trainer in
extremely cold areas.
Please note that the charging cradles are not designed to get wet.
