Quick Start Guide
Step 1
Fit Collar on Dog
Thread the included collar strap through the channels on the receiver. With the collar turned OFF, place on dog and adjust to 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.

SD-70 Lap Dog Trainer
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:
1-LOW to 4-HIGH. – 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 how long 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. During the lock­out period a solid tone will sound.
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 Tone 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.
PROGRAM – used in tandem with buttons on the transmitter face to change ID Codes or set tone-with­correction options.
Your transmitter has an LED light:
• Pulsating green light – unit is transmitting
• Pulsating red light – low battery
Changing the ID Code
The SD-70 offers 2,048 ID codes in case you experi­ence problems from other nearby training units. To change codes:
• Turn the collar off.
• Press and hold the PROGRAM button on the back of the transmitter.
• Continue pressing PROGRAM, while pressing 1­LOW on the face of the transmitter.
• Release only the PROGRAM button, while continu­ing to press 1-LOW.
• When the LED ceases flashing red-green, release 1-LOW.
• Rematch the components as shown in Quick Start Step 2.
Setting/Changing the Tone Mode
Your can set the SD-70 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. Press and hold 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 tone. The receiver is water-resistant and should not be immersed in water or placed in a dishwasher.
Testing the Receiver
You may wish to test the collar from time to time. To test:
• Hold the test light provided across the receiver’s posts
• Press a stimulation button 1-LOW to 4-HIGH.
• Test light will illuminate.
• The intensity of the test light will increase as the level increases.
Replacing Batteries
To replace batteries, twist the battery cover counter­clockwise, to the OPEN position. Lift the cap out, remove old batteries and insert new batteries with positive (+) side down toward the battery cap lid.
Changing Posts
Your SD-70 receiver comes with innovative inset probes designed to precisely fit the smaller necks of toy
and lap-dog breeds. To change the posts to the in-set design, simply remove the contact posts, then assemble the in-set posts using the Phillips head screws provided (see illustration). Be sure that the post base lifts up and away from the battery cap on/off switch.
Replacement batteries:
Your SD-70 transmitter uses a 12-volt alkaline battery, and the receiver uses two 3­volt Lithium coin cell batteries (CR-2032). These are commonly available where you bought your training system, or where batteries are sold.
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 DVD 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 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.
Tr aining 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.

IMPORTANT ADVICE
1. Read the complete manual 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.
• If the condition persists beyond 24 hours, see your veterinarian.
5. 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.
6. Realize that because dogs have unique temperaments, there is no way of knowing how your dog will react to the introduction of a 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.
7. 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 with experience with aggressive dogs if your dog has shown any of these characteristics.
8. Occasionally, a dog cannot be trained to respond to a 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.

Troubleshooting
If the collar appears not to be working, try the following:
• Adjust the collar strap to fit.
• Test the receiver with the test light. 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 and are the correct spacing.
• Ensure that the probes are touching the dog’s skin.
• If necessary, trim the dog's hair to ensure proper skin contact. Never shave the dog’s neck.
• Use a stronger stimulation level.
