Step 4 Adjust the collar
Proper Fit: The collar fit should be snug, yet loose
enough to allow one finger to fit between the strap and
the dog’s neck.Fit is important because a loose collar
may cause inconsistent performance. It’s okay to trim
any excess strap length.

Understanding the Transmitter
The handheld device signals the collar receiver to produce
stimulation and/or tone.The transmitter is water-resistant
and should not be immersed in water or placed in a dishwasher.
Transmitter Buttons
The left hand column of buttons offers controls for the
DOG 1 collar; the right hand column for the DOG 2 collar.
1-LOW to 4-MAX.- Select any of 4 stimulation levels
instantly. We recommend that you always start training
your dog with the lowest stimulation, and increase to a
higher level if necessary.You will know when you’ve
reached the right level when your dog responds by twitching his head, neck or shoulders or by perking up his ears.
If the dog vocalizes, you need to go to a lower level.
You control the length of the stimulation by the time you
press the button.For a shor t stimulation, press and
release the button.For a longer stimulation, hold the button down.A maximum of 10 seconds may be applied
before the safety feature to prevent over-correction
engages.After 10 seconds, stimulation will be locked out
for another 10 seconds.
PROGRAM - used together with buttons on the transmitter
face to change ID Codes or set tone-with-correction
options.
Your transmitter has an LED light:
• Pulsating green light - Unit is transmitting
• Pulsating red light - Low battery
• Blinking alternate red-green lights - Changing ID codes
Changing the ID Code
The BT-502A offers 2,048 ID codes in case you experience problems from other nearby training units.To change
codes:
• Press and hold the PROGRAM button on the back of the
transmitter.
• Continue pressing PROGRAM, while pressing 1-LOW in
the DOG 1 column on the face of the transmitter.
• Release only the PROGRAM button, while continuing to
press 1-LOW.
• When the LED stops flashing red-green, release 1-LOW.
After changing the ID code it is necessary to rematch
the components.Hold components together at the dots
as shown in the Quick Start Guide until the receiver LED
glows green then amber.Press 1-Low in the Dog 1 column on your transmitter; the receiver LED will glow red
and the unit will deliver stimulation.The components
now work together.Do this step for Dog 1 using the red
collar and Dog 2 using the blue collar.Perform this step
each time you change the ID code.

Understanding the Receiver

water or placed in a dishwasher.
The collar receiver uses a LED light to let you know the
status of the receiver:

• Pulsating red light - stimulation is being delivered
• Solid green light - over-correction timeout;wait 10
seconds
• Blinking amber light - collar should be matched to
transmitter
• Pulsating amber light -- low battery; change battery as
soon as possible
Testing the Receiver
You may wish to test the collar from time to time.To test:
• Hold the test light provided across the receiver probes.
• Press a stimulation button 1-LOW to 4-MAX.
• Test light will illuminate.
• The intensity of the test light will increase as the level
increases.
Replacement batteries
Your BT-502A transmitter uses a 12-volt alkaline battery,
and the receivers use 6-volt alkaline batteries.These are
commonly available where you bought your training system, where batteries are sold, or call 1-800-826-5527 to
order direct from us.
Compliance with U.S.Telecommunications Regulations
This Innotek Remote Training System is designed to meet
requirements set forth by United States country telecommunications authorities.Note that in some countries, use
may be limited due to national frequency planning requirements.The user is responsible for respecting those rules.
Training Tips
Watch the included video to get the basics for training
your dog properly with a remote trainer.
Always praise your dog for good behavior!
Teach him what the commands mean before introducing
the collar as a reinforcement tool.
Keep training sessions brief, about ten minutes of training
and then a rest or play period of at least equal length.
Dogs learn through repetition.You may have better train-
ing success if you can elicit an undesired behavior when
you can anticipate it.For example, if the dog misbehaves
and jumps on visitors, have someone come in and out of
the front door several times over a half-hour period.You'll
be expecting it and will be ready to teach your dog the
right behavior.
Always end a training session on a positive note.Let the
dog have success.This way he'll look forward to the next
session.
Training should be fun for both you and your dog.Never
train when you are angry.If you get frustrated during training, stop and come back to it later.Your dog will learn better when you are both relaxed.
We recommend your dog be at least six months old
before starting a remote training program.You will be asking your dog to concentrate for periods of time and to
remember what you have taught.Young puppies do not
necessarily have the required mental development or
attention span for these activities.
The goal of training is to condition your dog to respond to
your verbal under all situations.You should plan on using
the collar for at least four months.A good rule is, once
started with a remote trainer, to regularly have the collar
on when you take the dog out.This will ensure that he will
always be imprinted with the correct response to your
commands and that you are always in control.

Support that comes with your Innotek remote trainer

Troubleshooting
If the collar appears not to be working, try the following:
• Adjust the collar strap to fit.
• Test the receiver.If no light, replace the battery.
• If the transmitter LED is out, replace the transmitter
battery.
• Rematch the components as shown in the Quick Start
Guide.
• Check that the probes are tightened.
• Ensure that the probes are touching the dog’s skin.
• If necessary, trim the dog's hair or use the longer probes
to ensure proper skin contact.Never shave the dog’s
neck.
• Use a stronger stimulation level.
If you cannot solve the problem by following these steps,
please call 1-800-826-5527.
IMPORTANT ADVICE
1.Read the instructions completely and follow all
directions.If you have any questions, please call
1-800-826-5527.
2.This device is intended for use only on dogs.Never
attempt to use it for any purpose not described in this
manual.
3.Never perform set-up procedures while the collar is on
your dog.
4.Any collar worn for extended periods can cause a
condition similar to bedsores, known as Pressure
Necrosis.To reduce the possibility, you must do the
following:
• Never leave the collar on the dog for more than 12
hours a day.
• Examine the dog’s neck daily for any signs of a rash
or a sore.
• Supervise your dog during the first 2 days of training.
• Check the fit to prevent excessive pressure; you
should be able to insert one finger between the collar
strap and your dog’s skin.
• Wash the dog’s neck area and the probes of the
collar weekly with a wash cloth and mild hand soap.
• If the condition persists beyond 24 hours, see your
veterinarian.
5.Always use the rubber insulators between the collar
strap and probes to provide insulation in damp
conditions.
6.Other collars and metal tags should be removed when
using the remote training collar as they may interfere
with proper operation.
7.Do not attempt to dismantle or repair any components
of this system;doing so will void the warranty in full.
The computerized circuitry should be serviced only by
an authorized expert.
8.Realize that because dogs have unique temperaments,
there is no way of knowing how your dog will react to
the introduction of a remote training collar system.For
the safety of your dog, a long lead should be used
during initial training so you have control of the
situation.
9.If you have reason to believe that your dog may pose a
danger to others, harm itself, or react adversely to the
collar, do not rely solely on this product to train your
dog.If your dog shows signs of growling, snarling or
biting while using the collar, stop immediately.
Aggression in dogs has many causes.We recommend
that you consult a knowledgeable professional dog
trainer or animal behaviorist who has experience with
aggressive dogs if your dog has shown any of these
characteristics.
10.Occasionally, a dog cannot be trained to respond to a
remote training collar.Sometimes even a properly
trained dog may disobey a command.Therefore,
Invisible Technologies, its distributors, and dealers
cannot guarantee that the system will in all cases keep
the customer's animal from disobeying commands.
