Tri-Tronics G3 Bark Limiter - Manual (Page 2)

Delay Feature
The collar is not capable of making
corrections for approximately 30
seconds after you switch it on or
make an intensity change.
Switching the Collar Off
Switch the collar off when not in
use.
Press and hold the on/off button
for about three seconds until you
see the intensity light move up one
level and then back to the original
level. Release the button when the
light has returned to the original
level. The lights will sweep back and
forth, then the #3 light will flash,
confirming that the collar is off.
The intensity that was selected
when you switched the collar off will
be saved.
Bark Odometer
™
When you switch the Bark Limiter
off, it will report the corrections
that have occurred since the last
time you switched it on. Immediately
after you switch the unit off, the #3
light will flash one time to confirm
switch-off. Then it will flash rapidly
(one flash per detected bark).
Based on the number of these rapid
flashes, you know whether your dog
needed a few corrections, a lot of
corrections, or no corrections at all
while you were away from home.
Fitting a Bark Limiter
Properly
A Bark Limiter must be very snug to
work properly and correct the dog
consistently.
To locate the buckle in the best
position for your dog’s neck size,
you can adjust the strap by sliding
it through the molded slots. If the
strap is too long for your dog, we
recommend that you cut off the
excess in order to minimize the
possibility of your dog chewing the
strap.
If your dog has a very dense
undercoat, install the “long” contact
points. Use only the plastic wrench
that comes with the replacement
contact points. Switch the collar off
before changing contact points.
Selecting Intensity
If your dog has never used a bark
collar before, remember that a
dog needs some experience to
realize that his own bark causes the
correction he feels. If your dog is
not used to bark collars, start on the
lowest intensity. If the dog continues
to bark in its normal fashion for
longer than 30 minutes, increase the
intensity one level. If the dog alters
the way it barks, this means it feels
the correction. Give the dog a day’s
experience with the collar to learn
to respond by not barking. If it is still
barking after that, increase the level.
If it overreacts to the correction,
use a lower level.
Continue until you find the level that
discourages your dog from barking.
Remember that there will be a
30-second delay after changing the
intensity before the collar will begin
correcting.
Batteries
The Bark Limiter comes with a
replaceable battery installed. The
replaceable battery in your Bark
Limiter will give you up to one year
of use. Performance will be less in
extremely cold weather. For best
battery life always switch the Bark
Limiter off when you take it off your
dog.
If the first two lights blink at the
same time when the unit is on, the
battery is becoming low. If these
two lights glow steadily when you
switch the collar on, the battery
has become too low to operate
the collar and you must replace the
battery.
