Extended wear may cause skin irritation.Refer to owner's guide.

Proper Fit: The collar fit should be
snug, yet loose enough to allow one
finger to fit between the strap and
dog’s neck.Fit is important because
a loose collar may cause inconsis­tent performance. It’s okay to trim
any excess strap length.

Your Dog’s First Session

Monitor your dog during his first session.This is when he will lear n what the
collar means.Dogs learn at different speeds.It may take several barks or
even several sessions for your dog to reduce his barking. Don’t worry – the
Auto-Set feature starts at the lowest level and will adjust to the right level to
motivate your dog to stop barking.The collar will remember the correct level
between uses.

Resetting the Collar

The BC-200 resets to lowest level each time it is charged.You may also
reset the collar by recharging for as little as 1-minute.

Testing the Collar

You may wish to test the collar from time to time.To test the collar, gently
rub the metal probes against a hard non-glass surface.A solid red LED
indicates that the unit is functioning properly.

Troubleshooting

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

• Adjust the collar strap to fit

• Recharge the battery

• 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.

If you cannot solve the problem by following these steps,
please call 800-826-5527.

Components

The BC-200 has a waterproof collar that can be submerged in water during
a dog’s normal activities;do not place in a dishwasher.

Two sets of probes are included so you can choose what’s right for your
dog’s coat.

The BC-200 is powered by a rechargeable NiMH battery.When the batter y

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:

• Super vise 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.

• 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.

• 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
No-bark 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
No-bark 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 No-bark 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.
