Understanding the Transmitter

This handheld device signals the collar receiver to produce stimulation and/or tone.The transmitter is waterresistant and should not be immersed in water or placed in a dishwasher.

Transmitter Buttons:

ADV-300P and ADV-1000P users CONTINUOUS - you control the length of 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.

MOMENTARY - delivers a brief, pre-measured tap. ID - selects a random ID Code from 2048 available in

case you experience interference problems from other nearby training units.Press and hold the button for 3 seconds.The display will show the letters PROG and quickly scroll through numbers and then go blank.A new code has been selected.Re-match the components as described in Step 2 of the Quick Start Guide. TONE - produces a tone from the collar. No stimulation is delivered.

LEVEL UP - increases stimulation level LEVEL DOWN - decreases stimulation level

ADV-1002 users DOG 1 - Provides stimulation for Dog 1. Uses continu-

ous stimulation, meaning that you control the length of stimulation by the time you press the button.For a short tap, press and release the button.For a longer signal, 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.

DOG 2 – Provides stimulation for Dog 2. Also uses continuous stimulation. LEVEL UP - increases stimulation level for the dog indicated in that column. LEVEL DOWN - decreases stimulation level for the dog indicated in that column.

The Digital Display

When either the continuous or momentary buttons are pushed (1 or 2 on the ADV-1002), the display will indicate the stimulation level being transmitted.For ADV-1002 users, after the stimulation button is released, the dog number (Dog1/Dog2) and stimulation level will alternate briefly.

When the Level UP or Level DOWN button is pushed, the display will show the new level of stimulation.

LO BAT appears when the transmitter batteries needs to be replaced.

ADV-300P and ADV-1000P users

When the tone button is pressed, a small bar will appear to the left of the stimulation level 0 as no stimulation is being delivered.

Replacement Batteries:

The ADV transmitters use two 6-volt alkaline batteries. These are commonly available where you bought your unit, where batteries are sold or call I-800-826-5527 to order direct from us.

Understanding the Receiver

The ADV units use a LED light to let you know the status of the collar.

• Blinking green light – collar is on and ready to use

• Pulsating red light – stimulation is being delivered

• Pulsating green – tone only being delivered

• Blinking red light – low battery; charge as soon as possible

• Solid green light – over-correction timeout;wait

10 seconds

• Blinking yellow light – collar should be matched

to transmitter

Testing the Receiver

• Hold the test light across the receiver probes

• Press the transmitter button for stimulation

• Test light will illuminate for the length of time stimulation

is being delivered

• The intensity of the light will increase as the level

increases

Charging the Receiver

The receiver has a long-life NiMH battery. It will take 1214 hours to fully charge and will operate up 72 hours between charges depending on use and temperature. Extreme temperatures (hot or cold) can significantly affect battery life.Always charge at room temperature.

Collar should be fully charged once every 2-3 months. The receiver will need to be matched with the transmitter

after charging.Follow Step 2 of the Quick Start Guide.

Matching the Transmitter and Receiver

Locate the red dot on transmitter and on receiver. Hold components together at the dots until the receiver LED glows green then amber.Press transmitter button;receiver LED will glow red and deliver stimulation.The components now work together.For the ADV-1002, do this step for Dog 1 using the yellow collar and Dog 2 using the black collar. Perform this step each time you charge the receiver collar, or replace transmitter battery.

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 train-

ing and then a rest or play period of at least equal length.

• Dogs learn through repetition.You may have better suc- cess 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 commands 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 always 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.

Troubleshooting

If the collar appears not to be working, try the following:

• Adjust the collar strap to fit.

• Test the receiver, if no light, recharge the battery in

the receiver.

• If the transmitter LED is out, replace the transmitter

batteries.

• Rematch the components as shown in Step 2 of the

Quick Start Guide.

• Check that the probes are tightened.

• Ensure that the probes are touching the dog’s skin.

• 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 800-826-5527 so we can assist you in fixing the problem.

IMPORTANT ADVICE

1. Read the complete instructions 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 consecutive hours.

• 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;rinse thoroughly.

•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 many 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 with 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.
