Step 2 Turning the Receiver ON and OFF
1 2
1 inch
The ON/OFF command only works when the Transmitter and Receiver are in close proximity; it will not work at a distance. The ON/OFF command only works when the Transmitter antenna is installed.
Never turn the unit ON or OFF while your dog is wearing the receiver collar.
3Press
1.Put the threaded end of the Antenna into the Transmitter and turn until finger-tight.
2.Hold the Receiver one inch away from the Transmitter, be careful — do not touch the Receiver’s contacts; the self test may fail.
3.Press and hold the Tone button. The Receiver emits a start-up tone and its light turns on showing the level of battery charge (solid green, amber, or red). Release the Tone button.
4.To turn Receiver OFF, hold Receiver and Transmitter one inch apart and press and hold the Tone button. The Receiver will emit a shut-down tone sequence, and the light will glow solid red, then go out. Release the Tone button.
NOTE for Two Collar Use: Set the Transmitter to Dog 2 and repeat steps 2 and 3 using the second collar.
Step 3 Fit the Collar on Your Dog
Put the collar around your dog’s neck and adjust to find the proper fit. Fasten the collar so the fit is 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.
Step 4 Begin Training
Watch the included training DVD and read the information in the Training section on page 14. Your dog may show good initial response to the training; be sure to follow the training procedure for several weeks. The convenience that your new remote training system offers is well worth the time invested.
Throughout this manual, items in a bordered box apply to GS-7000 ONLY.

THE TRANSMITTER
The waterproof Transmitter signals the electronic Receiver collar to produce a harmless, yet effective stimulation and/or tone. The no-slip grip feels comfortable in your hand for extended periods of training time or field time.
