side out.Replace metal cap.
Receiver: Insert 6v alkaline batter y
in the receiver positive (+) side out.
Replace metal cap.The LED on the
receiver will begin flashing amber.
Understanding the Transmitter
The handheld device signals the collar receiver to
produce stimulation and/or or tone.The transmitter
is water-resistant and should not be immersed in
water or placed in a dishwasher.
Transmitter Buttons
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 short 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.
GOOD Tone Button
Simply press the GOOD tone button when your
dog does something good and follow up immediately with a favorite treat and plenty of praise.Your
dog will quickly learn to associate the GOOD tone
with proper behavior.
BAD T one Button
The BAD tone followed by the stimulation is used
for inappropriate behavior.Your dog will quickly
learn to associate the BAD tone with inappropriate
behavior.You can then use the BAD tone alone to
discourage misbehaviors.

Step 2
Match Components
Press GOOD Tone button on the
transmitter within 30 seconds of
installing receiver battery. The
components now work together.
You may wish to set tone mode
before working with your dog.See
“Setting/Changing the Tone Mode.”
Step 3
Turning the Collar ON and OFF
Before putting the collar
on the dog, briefly touch
the two red paper dots
together (one on receiver, one on transmitter) to turn the
collar on.
ON - a brief solid green light and tone indicate that the collar is on, ready to use.A green light will blink while the collar is on.
OFF - A brief solid red light and tone will indicate the collar
has been turned off.
A magnet in the transmitter, indicated with a red paper dot,
activates the receiver’s ON/OFF switch, also indicated with
a red paper dot.
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.
Step 4
Adjust the collar
er at the dots as shown in the Quick Start Guide
until the receiver LED glows green then amber.
Press GOOD tone on your transmitter; the
receiver LED will glow red and the unit will deliver stimulation.The components now work together.
Perform this step each time you change the ID
code.
Setting/Changing the Tone Mode
You can set the SD-100A to deliver the BAD tone
automatically when you push a stimulation button.
Three settings are possible – tone with the stimulation, tone followed by delayed stimulation or stimulation only.
1.Press and hold the PROGRAM button on the
back of the transmitter.
2.Continue pressing PROGRAM, while pressing
and holding one of the following to select the tone
option:
• BUTTON 2 for tone ON with stimulation
• BUTTON 3 for tone OFF with stimulation
• BUTTON 4 for tone with a one-second delay
before stimulation
3.While continuing to hold BUTTON 2, 3, or 4,
release the PROGRAM button. The transmitter
light will stay solid for a couple of seconds, and
then go out.
4.As soon as the solid light goes out, release BUTTON 2, 3, or 4.
Understanding the Receiver
The collar receiver produces stimulation and/or an
audible tone.The receiver is water-resistant and
should not be immersed in water or placed in a
dishwasher.
The collar receiver uses a LED light to let you know
the status of the receiver:
• Blinking green light - collar is on and ready to use
• Solid green light - over-correction timeout;wait 10
seconds
• Blinking amber light - collar should be matched to
transmitter
• Pulsating amber light - low battery; change batter y
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 SD-100A transmitter uses a 12-volt alkaline
battery, and the receiver uses a 6-volt alkaline battery.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 reinforce-
ment 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 training 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 command
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.

Innotek remote trainer purchase.

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.
