EN Please read and follow the instructions in this
manual. Proper fit of the collar is important. A collar
worn for too long or made too tight on the pet’s
neck may cause skin damage. This is called bed
sores; it is also called decubitus ulcers or pressure
necrosis.
• Avoid leaving the collar on the dog for more than
12 hours per day.
• When possible reposition the collar on the pet’s
neck every 1 to 2 hours.
• Check the fit to prevent excessive pressure; follow
the instructions in this manual.
• Never connect a lead to the electronic collar; it
will cause excessive pressure on the contacts.
• When using a separate collar for a lead, don’t
put pressure on the electronic collar.
• Wash the dog’s neck area and the contacts of the
collar weekly with a damp cloth.
• Examine the contact area daily for signs of a rash
or a sore.
• If a rash or sore is found, discontinue use of the
collar until the skin has healed.
• If the condition persists beyond 48 hours, see
your veterinarian.
