HELPFUL HINTS AND CAUTIONS
• Do not attach a leash to the Smart Collar or use it to physically restrain your
dog. Doing so can cause the collar’s contact points to irritate your dog’s
neck and create discomfort. If a leash is required, attach it to a conventional
collar fitted to your dog’s neck below the SpotOn™ collar.
• Register your Smart Collar with your dog’s name and valid owner contact
details. Your Smart Collar doubles as an identification tag so be sure to
keep it updated with accurate information.
• Pets should be properly trained before being left unattended inside a
Virtual Smart Fence. Failure to do so is unfair to your dog and may cause
them to escape the Smart Fence.
• Do not create a Virtual Smart Fence within 15 feet of a hazardous area,
such as a street.
• The “Track My Pet” and “Compass” features may impact battery
performance of your Smart Collar.
• Always remove the Smart Collar from your dog when not in use.
• Always remove the Smart Collar from your dog as soon as he/she
enters the house.
• Frequently inspect your dog’s neck. If you notice irritation from the
Smart Collar, temporarily discontinue use until the irritation has subsided.

QUICK START GUIDE

Before setting up your SpotOn™ system, charge the Smart Collar’s battery to 100%.
This takes about an hour. The charging port is located on the underside of the collar,
as shown above. Simply plug one end of the USB cable into the collar’s charging port,
and the other end into a computer USB jack or the wall charger provided.

The app allows you to register your collar, receive notifications, view maps,
and access training features. Follow these steps to get started:
1. Download and install the mobile app for your smartphone.
You can find the app by searching for SpotOn™ on:
2. Open the app and tap the “Create one!” link near the bottom of the screen.

4. Visit your email inbox and activate your account. If you do not receive an email,
be sure to check your email’s spam/junk folder

STEP 3: REGISTER YOUR SMART COLLAR
The first time you log into the SpotOn™ app, you’ll be prompted to register your collar.
Follow these steps:
1. In the prompt fields, enter your dog’s name, gender, and birth date.
2. Enter your contact phone number, the 8 digit Collar ID located on the back of
your Smart Collar, and select a color to represent your dog’s icon on the app’s

Helpful Hints:
• While cell service isn’t required to set up and use your Virtual Smart Fence,
it is a lifesaver. The SpotOn™ Smart Collar uses a cellular connection to give
you instant access to your dog’s location at any point in time. Cell service
is required for pet tracking and is available for a small monthly or annual fee.

STEP 6: CREATE A MAP AT YOUR HOME
1. On the Home Screen, press the left navigation button to select “Create Map.”
2. Following the instructions on the collar, go outside, holding the collar with the
GPS antenna at shoulder height, and wait for it to acquire a GPS signal. In an area
with no obstructions (i.e. buildings, trees, etc.), this process normally takes less
than 60 seconds. When the collar has acquired satellite connection, the letters
GPS will appear in green at the top-center of the collar’s display screen.
3. From the collar menu, press the right navigation button to select “Custom.”
4. While holding the collar at a comfortable chest height and GPS antenna facing up,
walk a path around the area in your yard where you’d like your dog to stay.

5. When you’ve closed a perimeter by returning to your starting point, press the
right navigation button to select “End” from the collar’s menu.
6. The collar will prompt you to save the map. Press the right navigation button
to select “Yes” and save your map to the Smart Collar’s memory.
Helpful Hints:
• When creating a map, if you select “End” at any point prior to returning to your
start position, SpotOn™ will automatically “snap” a virtual line between the start
position and your current location ensuring your Smart Fence Area always has a
closed shape.
• The collar also has a Pause mode you can use when defining a map on “tricky”
or irregular terrain. For more details on how to use Pause mode, visit our
website at http://SpotOnCollar.com.
• Avoid walking close to building or overhead structures when creating maps to
avoid degradation of accuracy/performance.
• We do not recommend creating maps in irregularly shaped yards less than ½ of
an acre, in urban areas with tall buildings or in dense woods because the accuracy
can be degraded in these settings.
• Your Smart Collar enables you to create a convenient circular containment zone
with a few button presses. It’s important that your dog has been properly trained
before using this feature. Please see our training video for help on creating a
Circular Smart Fence.

• To create a Virtual Fence from which your dog can enter or leave the house without
getting an audible alert or static correction, be sure to create the Virtual Fence so
that that all or most of your home is within the Virtual Fence area. For additional
information, visit our website to learn more about this and other best practices.
STEP 7: ACTIVATE A SAVED VIRTUAL SMART MAP
The SpotOn™ collar stores up to 10 custom maps you can recall for different
locations. Follow these steps to select and activate a map:
1. Turn the collar on.
2. On the collar’s Home Screen, press the right menu button to choose “Select Map.”
3. Use the right and left navigation buttons to scroll through the list to the desired map.
4. Press the collar’s ENTER button to select the map.
5. Press the ENTER button again to choose “Activate.”
6. The collar’s screen will display Map N (i.e. where N is the
number of the map you selected above in step 5).
Your custom Virtual Smart Fence is now active and ready for use.
Helpful Hints:
• On the collar’s menu system, maps are identified by numbers 1 through 10.
However, you can use the smartphone app to assign each map a name
(e.g. “Home”, “Beach House”, “Campground”, etc.).

STEP 8: GETTING STARTED WITH YOUR DOG
Fit The Collar
Collar fit is very important to both the effectiveness of SpotOn™ and the comfort and
safety of your dog. Follow these steps to ensure a proper fit:
1. Undo the clasp and place the collar around dog’s neck to gauge the fit.
2. Unfasten the buckle, slide it to a location that feels appropriate for your dog’s neck
size, and snap the buckle into the nearest hole
3. Slip two fingers between the collar and your dog’s neck. They should fit
comfortably but snugly. The digital display should be facing the ground.

Helpful Hints:
• The SpotOn™ collar is shipped with its contact points uninstalled and its static
correction level set to zero. Please see our online video to determine how to
choose the lowest effective correction level.
• Do not attach a leash to the Smart Collar. If a leash is required, attach a separate
collar and leash below the SpotOn™ collar.
• If the collar is too loose, the contact points can rub and irritate your dog’s neck.
• Always remove the collar from your dog when not in use to help prevent irritation.
• The Smart Collar’s contact points should be cleaned regularly with a damp cloth
or remove them from the collar to clean with warm, soapy water.

STEP 9: CHOOSE THE RIGHT TRAINING PROGRAM
Training is critical to the success of your SpotOn™ system—and to the happiness and
safety of your dog.
1. Visit SpotOnCollar.com and choose a training program that’s best-suited to you
and your dog. Taking the time to do this correctly will ensure your dog remains
safe and stress-free.
2. Your training program should start at home. Make sure your dog understands how
the SpotOn™ system works (i.e. tones and static corrections) before using it in
an unfamiliar location.
3. Do not leave your dog unattended inside any SpotOn™ Virtual Smart Fence
until he/she has been properly trained.
4. Need help determining if your dog is trained properly? Take our Passport Quiz
on SpotOnCollar.com.
