Tri-Tronics G3 Bark Limiter - Manual (Page 3)

Replacing the Battery
Uses one 3.0 volt “CR2” lithium
battery (Tri-Tronics #1181300).
Remove the collar strap from the
Bark Limiter. Unscrew the 2 screws
on the bottom of the Bark Limiter,
alternating between screws, until
the two halves can be separated.
Remove the old battery and install a
new battery, matching polarity.
NOTE: Replacing a battery
automatically switches the unit
on and you will see the light begin
to blink. If unit does not turn on,
you probably have the battery in
backwards; turn it around and verify
function again. Thirty seconds after
inserting the new battery, the collar
will become capable of stimulation.
You may wish to switch the collar
off.
Replace battery cover gently, making
sure the gasket is properly in place.
Tighten screws, alternating between
screws. It is very important in order
to maintain the waterproof integrity
of the Bark Limiter that you ensure
that the gasket is in place smoothly
and evenly around the perimeter of
the battery cover with no twists or
folds. Replace the collar strap.
NOTE: The O-ring on the screw
should be positioned under the
head of the screw before screws are
tightened.
Troubleshooting
Try these suggestions if your unit

The dog is still barking while wearing
the Bark Limiter.
• The collar may be switched off.
Be sure the unit is on.
• The collar is inactive for 30
seconds after switch-on or any
intensity change. Wait for the
collar to become active.
• The collar isn’t tight enough.
Tighten the collar strap.
• The intensity isn’t high enough.
Try the next level.
• Remember it takes 30 seconds
after changing intensity for the
collar to become active again.
• The contact points aren’t making
contact through the dog’s
undercoat. Use the long contact
points. Wiggle the unit on the
dog’s neck to work the contact
points through his coat.
The collar light isn’t blinking even
though I switched the collar on.
It is normal for the light to stop
blinking whenever the unit has not
been moved. This is the battery
saving sleep mode.
The collar is blinking while it’s on the
dog. Is it correcting him even when he
isn’t barking?
No. The blinking light just means
that the collar is switched on.
I can’t get the collar to switch off or the
intensity to change levels.
Be sure to press and hold the
switch firmly.
My dog’s skin is irritated where he has
been wearing the bark collar.
• Dogs with sensitive skin can
experience skin irritation if they
wear a bark collar too long at any
one time, due to the mechanical
pressure of the contact points.
• Do not use the bark collar until
the irritation is cleared up.
• Do not use it for longer than 10
hours out of every 24 hours.
• If the dog gets wet while wearing
a bark collar, the chance of
irritation is increased.
• Using the short contact points
will reduce the chance of skin
irritation.
• Contact your veterinarian if the
skin irritation is especially severe.
