Cold Weather Operation
In cold temperatures (-12°C/10°F or below), the liquid crystal display (LCD) on your Transmitter may be dim or slow to respond. Wait until the display becomes visible before selecting any training commands.
Cold temperatures may lead to a premature low battery signal, so keep the transmitter close to your body during cold weather. One method to keep the transmitter close to your body is by using the lanyard.
UUssee tthhee LLaannyyaarrdd:: lanyard to the Transmitter. Slip the lanyard over your head and shoulder (above left) or position in front of you (above right) to carry your Transmitter close to your body when not in use. Your body’s warmth will improve cold-weather operation.
Attach the included
Operating Range
Your Transmitter communicates with the Receiver collar via a radio signal. The system’s operating range, as stated on packaging, is based upon line-of-sight. For maximum range, keep your fingers away from the antenna during use, and always keep the antenna away from all magnets. Exposure to a magnet may permanently diminish range. As shown at right, hold the transmitter upright, at or above shoulder level, and away from your body.
RRAANNGGEERR OONNLLYY::
Setting User-selectable Identity Code (ID code)
ID codes represent a “channel” on which the Transmitter communicates with the Receiver collar. The FieldPro Remote Training system utilizes 250 different ID codes, one of which is randomly selected when you turn on the system (or replace the batteries in Scout models). At times, you may wish to have more than one Transmitter able to communicate with a single Receiver collar. To do this, manually set each Transmitter to the same ID code (per collar in cases where two dogs are used). ID codes 150 to 250 are user selectable.
1.Press Dog Select button to choose desired Receiver collar.
2.Press the PROG button on the Transmitter until the PROG symbol displays.
3.Press the Down arrow button. The display shows a small ‘1’ and 50.
4.Use the Up and Down arrow buttons to change the ID code setting, ranging from 150 to 250. We recommend that ID codes differ by 10 or more (not be consecutive numbers) for two dog systems.
5.Set the new ID code by pressing the PROG button. The transmitter exits programming mode.

Auto Shut Off
When the Receiver is on and doesn’t receive a command from the Transmitter for 6 hours, it automatically shuts itself off. This INNOTEK feature saves Receiver battery power for field work, rather than using it up being idle. Follow Power Up instructions (bottom of previous page) to turn on your Receiver again.
ReadyTest™Self-Test
When you remove the Receiver from the charging cradle, it automatically goes into ReadyTest
(a diagnostic self-test) for 5 seconds. The Receiver’s internal diagnostics check the battery charge level (the Receiver light indicates battery charge level) and checks that all circuits are working. Do not touch the metal contacts during this test. Touching the contacts after removing the Receiver from the charging cradle may cause ReadyTest to fail. ReadyTest gives you confidence that your Receiver is working properly, and is ready to go. After the Receiver passes ReadyTest, it shuts itself off. If ReadyTest fails, the unit makes a 20-second tone, the light glows solid red for 20-seconds, and then shuts off. A Receiver that fails ReadyTest will not respond to the Transmitter’s commands. To retest the Receiver, place the Receiver back on the charger for 5 seconds, then remove it.

If the unit repeatedly continues to fail, contact an authorized INNOTEK Service Center.
Fitting the Collar and Receiver
The collar strap should fit snugly towards the top of your dog’s neck with the receiver on the bottom of the neck.
Check that the INNOTEK logo is right side up. You should be able to get one finger between the collar strap and your dog’s neck. The contacts must touch the dog’s skin for proper operation. A little hair thinning may be required.

Dogs’ coats are as unique as dogs themselves. You may wish to try the longer contacts if your dog has a very heavy coat. Be certain your dog can feel stimulation before training begins.
FieldPro-E Owner’s Manual
EN-16
Two Dog Systems
If you wish to add another receiver collar to the training system, accessory receiver collars are available where you bought your training system, or contact an authorized INNOTEK Service Center.
Using the first Receiver collar, set your Transmitter to Dog 1 and turn the Receiver collar on with the Tone button. Set the first Receiver collar down. Holding the second Receiver collar, set your Transmitter to Dog 2, and turn on Receiver collar Two. The Transmitter will send a signal to the Dog symbol appearing in the Transmitter’s display. To switch between Receiver collars, press the Dog Select button until the desired dog symbol displays.
Testing the Receiver
In order to make sure the Receiver is getting signals from the Transmitter, you may wish to test the Receiver from time to time.
To test:
11..
Hold the included Test Light across the Receiver’s contacts. (Refer to the illustration at the bottom of this column, the holes in the Test Light go over the contact tips; make sure the wire inside the hole touches the contact tip.)
22..
Press the Stimulation button on the Transmitter.
33..
The Test Light lights up. The intensity of the Test Light depends on the stimulation level. The light is dim for low stimulation levels and is brighter for higher stimulation levels.
Receiver contacts touch wires inside these holes.

TRAINING
Always start training your dog with the lowest stimulation, and increase to a higher level only 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.
When Ranger is in
CCoonnttiinnuuoouuss
mode, you control the duration of the stimulation by the length of time you press the Stimulation button. For a short stimulation, press and release the button. For a longer stimulation, hold the button down. A maximum of 10 seconds of Receiver stimulation may be applied before the safety lockout feature ((OOvveerr--ssttiimmuullaattiioonn pprrootteeccttiioonn,, sseeee bbeellooww)) starts.
When Ranger is in
MMoommeennttaarryy
mode, each stim button press (Stim or Alt Stim) produces one stim at the Receiver collar. Release the stim button in order to deliver another momentary (nick, or brief tap) stim.
Over-Stimulation Protection
The Transmitter can transmit continuously (Tone or Stim) for up to 10 seconds. If you attempt to transmit continuously for more than 10 seconds, the transmitter enters a 10 second lockout mode during which time no transmissions are allowed.
Training Tone Option
The Tone button causes the collar to produce a sound. No stimulation is delivered when the Tone button is pressed. The tone continues for as long as the button is held down, up to 10 seconds. A tone can help strengthen a dog’s response to training. The tone can be used as a warning tone prior to pressing the stimulation button; or can be a reward tone when presented with praise, play, or food for good behavior.
The use of a training tone is optional. Its use varies among popular training methods. Some trainers choose to use the tone option as a warning tone prior to stimulation, others prefer to use the tone option as a reward tone, and still others prefer to not use it at all. It is imperative for successful dog training to use the tone option consistently
through­out the training process. Whether the tone will mean reward or warning to your dog is up to the training method
yyoouu
cchhoooossee
.
Remember: the training tone
CANNOT be both a warning tone and a reward tone. To learn more about tone training, consult a qualified dog training professional.

Training Tips
• Watch the included DVD to get the basics for training your dog properly with a remote training system.
• We recommend your dog be at least six months old before starting a remote training system program.
• Always praise your dog for good behavior!
• Teach him what the commands mean before introducing the Receiver 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 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.
• The goal of training is to condition your dog to respond to your verbal commands in all situations. You should plan on using the Receiver collar for at least four months. A good rule is, once started with a remote training system, to regularly have the
Receiver 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.
Component Care
1. Use a soft damp cloth to clean the Transmitter and Receiver.
2. Do not use alcohol or cleaning solutions to clean the Transmitter and Receiver.
3. Dry the Transmitter and Receiver with a dry, lint-free cloth should they get wet.
4. Remove (Scout) batteries during long-term storage.

• Adjust the collar strap to fit better.
• Test the Receiver using the Test Light (Instructions are on page EN-16). If no light, recharge the Receiver’s battery.
• If the Transmitter display is off, first try pressing any button. If the display remains off, recharge the Ranger Transmitter or replace Scout Transmitter batteries.
• Carefully turn on the components as shown in the Quick Start Guide (beginning of this manual).
• Check that the Receiver contacts are properly tightened.
• Ensure that the Receiver contacts are touching the dog’s skin.
• If necessary, trim the dog’s hair or use the longer contacts to ensure proper skin contact. Never shave the dog’s neck.
• Try a stronger stimulation level.
If you still have a problem which you believe requires service, please contact an authorized INNOTEK Service Center to speak with an INNOTEK agent. Many problems can be remedied over the telephone without returning the unit for service.
IMPORTANT ADVICE
1. Read the entire Owner’s Manual and follow all directions. If you have any questions, please contact an authorized INNOTEK Service Center.
2. This system is intended for use only on dogs. Never attempt to use it for any purpose not described in this manual.
3. Keep out of the reach of children
4. Never perform set-up procedures while the Receiver collar is on your dog.
5. 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 per 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 contacts of the collar weekly with a washcloth and mild hand soap; rinse thoroughly.
• If the condition persists beyond 24 hours, consult your veterinarian.
6. Metal tags and collars should be removed when using the receiver collar as they may interfere with proper operation.
7. Do not attempt to dismantle or repair any components of this system; doing so

8. Realize that because dogs have unique temperament, there is no way of knowing how your dog will react to the introduction of a remote training system. For the safety of your dog, a long lead should be used during initial training so you have complete 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, Innotek, Inc., its distributors, and dealers cannot guarantee that the system will in all cases keep the customer’s dog from disobeying commands.
11. To maintain maximum range, keep the Transmitte antenna away from all magnets, especially the very strong magnet in the Receiver’s charging cradle. Exposure to a magnet may permanently diminish range.
