Important Safety Information

Explanation of Attention Words and Symbols Used in this Guide

This is the safety alert symbol. It is used to alert you to potential personal injury hazards.

Obey all safety messages that follow this symbol to avoid possible injury or death.

WARNING indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could

result in death or serious injury.

CAUTION, used with the safety alert symbol, indicates a hazardous situation

which, if not avoided, could result in minor or moderate injury.

CAUTION, used without the safety alert symbol, indicates a hazardous

situation which, if not avoided, could result in harm to your pet.

• Do not use this product if your pet is aggressive or is prone to aggressive behavior. Aggressive

pets can cause severe injury and even death to owners and others. If you are unsure whether

this product is appropriate for your pet, please consult your veterinarian or a certied trainer.

•This device contains Lithium-Ion (Li-Ion) batteries. Never incinerate, puncture, deform, short-

circuit, or charge with an inappropriate charger. Fire, explosion, property damage, or bodily

harm may occur if this warning is not followed.

• It is vitally important that you and your pet remain safe during on-leash training. Your pet

should be on a strong leash that is long enough for him to attempt to chase an object but short

enough for him not to reach a road or other unsafe area. You must also be physically strong

enough to restrain your pet if he tries to chase.

• This product is not a toy; keep away from children. Use it only for pet training purposes.

•Proper t of the training collar is important. A training collar worn for too long or made too

tight on a pet’s neck may cause skin damage, ranging from redness to pressure ulcers. This

condition is commonly known as bed sores.

• Avoid leaving the training collar on a pet for more than 12 hours per day.

• When possible reposition the training collar on a pet’s neck every 1 to 2 hours.

•Regularly recheck the t to prevent excessive pressure; follow the instructions in this guide.

• Never connect a leash to the training collar; it will cause excessive pressure on the contact points.

• When connecting a leash to a separate collar, do not allow it to put pressure on the training collar.

• Wash the pet’s neck area and the contact points of the training collar weekly with a damp cloth.

• Examine the contact area daily for signs of a rash or a sore.

• If a rash or sore is found, discontinue use of the training collar until the skin has healed.

• If the condition persists beyond 48 hours, see your veterinarian.

• For additional information on bed sores and pressure necrosis, please visit our website.

• This product must be used only on healthy dogs. If you’re not certain that your pet is in good

health, we recommend that you take your pet to a veterinarian before using this product.

How It Works

The Free Spirit®Remote Trainer can be used to both stop bad behaviors and teach your dog good

behaviors. The trainer has tone (beep), vibration and 99 levels of shock. The easy-to-use design only

requires a press of the action button and the signal is sent to the training collar. A second training

collar can be added to the same remote (extra training collar sold separately) for a 2-dog trainer. The

remote and training collar are rechargeable. The training collar is waterproof.

• Tone: beeps to get your dog’s attention or mark a behavior, similar to a clicker

• Vibration: vibrates the training collar to get your dog’s attention or mark a behavior

• Shock: administers a shock with 99 levels of intensity

1. To assemble the training collar, rst thread the training collar as shown in the illustration.

2. Plug in and fully charge the remote and training collar. The battery icon on the remote will cycle

while charging and then remain solid when it is fully charged. The training collar’s LED will be

solid red when charging and will turn off when the training collar is fully charged.

3. To test the training collar, ensure that the remote is paired with the training collar (see pairing

instructions in the “Add-A-Dog®Pairing” section below).

4. Place both contact points on your skin, and press the red action button. Both contact points

must be touching the skin to emit a shock.

5. To assure a proper t, please follow these steps:

a. Start with the training collar turned off and your dog standing comfortably, not sitting.

b. Place the training collar on your dog’s neck with the contact points touching the skin.

c. Insert one nger between the training collar and your dog’s neck to check the tightness. The

t should be snug but not constricting.

d. Allow your dog to wear the training collar for several minutes, then recheck the t. Check the

t again as your dog becomes more comfortable with the training collar. NOTE: It is sometimes

necessary to trim the hair around the contact area to make sure that contact is consistent.

However, you should never shave your pet’s neck as this may increase risk of skin irritation.

6. Turn the training collar on, start at the lowest level of shock and only move up as needed. Your dog

may respond by icking his ears or scratching at his training collar, but he should never yelp.

7. The remote has a power-save feature that will allow standby after 5 minutes without use. Press

any button on the remote to reactivate. Note that pressing any of the correction buttons will

reactivate the remote. The button must be pressed a second time to send a correction.

8. For your dog’s safety, the remote will automatically time-out after 10 seconds of shock. You will

have to release and press the action button again to administer another shock.

*The 330-yard range is based on a straight-line distance between the remote and the training collar

without obstacles. Interferences in the air, obstacles in the area and other factors could alter the

range, so actual distances may vary.

Add-A-Dog®Pairing

With the purchase of a Free Spirit®Add-A-Dog®training collar, this remote can be paired with two

collars. Ensure that the remote is on the correct Dog 1/2 setting when pairing a training collar, and

follow the steps below.

1. Turn the training collar off.

2. Press and hold the on/off button. The LED light will turn on, then off in 4-5 seconds.

3. After the training collar LED has turned off, release the on/off button.

4. Press the Dog 1/2 button to select the correct setting for the training collar you would like to

pair. The included training collar should be paired with Dog 1, while an Add-A-Dog®training

collar should be paired with Dog 2.

5. With the correct Dog 1/2 setting selected on the remote, press and hold any button on the

remote until the training collar LED light ashes 5 times.

6. Pairing is now complete and the trainer is ready to use.
