How The Free Spirit Automatic No-Bark Collar Works
Dogs bark. It's one of the natural ways they communicate. However, excessive or pointless barking is annoying to you and your neighbors, and that's where an Innotek Free Spirit No-Bark Collar can help.

When used according to instructions, the Innotek Free Spirit No-Bark Collar automatically detects barking and discourages it by delivering a brief, harmless electronic stimulation. Since it senses the vibrations produced by the dog's vocal cords, the No-Bark Collar is activated only by the bark of the dog that is wearing the collar.

Unlike other anti-bark collars, the Free Spirit No-Bark Collar has no awkward switches or dials. Just power it up and put it on your dog according to instructions. That's it. It'll do the rest all by itself. With a little help from your dog, of course.

Your new Innotek Free Spirit No-Bark Collar features seven stimulation levels, Level 1 being the lowest, Level 7 the highest. With the patented Auto-Set technology, the No-Bark Collar automatically sets itself at the appropriate stimulation level that quiets your dog. It also gives the dog a two-second learning timeout between stimulations. The learning timeout prevents excessive stimulation, and it gives your dog time to learn at its own pace.

Here's how it works (assuming that you've already read the operating instructions thoroughly and that the No-Bark Collar is properly positioned on your dog). When your dog first barks, he receives a Level 1 stimulation. A two-second learning timeout follows, to give your dog a chance to associate the bark with the stimulation. If your dog barks again, he will receive a Level 2 stimulation, followed by another timeout. The collar's Auto-Set design automatically increases the stimulation through as many as seven levels until your dog stops barking.

The Innotek Free Spirit No-Bark Collar is designed to protect your dog from over-stimulation. Let's say that your dog stops barking after receiving a Level 4 stimulation. After a five minute bark-free period, the No-Bark Collar automatically sets the next stimulation back one level, in this case Level 3 (one level below the highest level previously reached). At its next bark, the dog would receive a Level 3 stimulation, a warning level that it should recognize.

The Auto-Set features is fair to the dog. Should it stop barking at the warning level, it could soon wean itself down to the lowest level of stimulation. If it barks through the warning level, the stimulation will increase to higher levels until the dog stops barking. Your dog will soon learn that the best way to avoid stimulation is to stay quiet. Some dogs learn faster than others, so be patient. Used properly, the No-Bark Collar will quickly quiet your companion of nuisance barking.

Sometimes you want your dog to be able to bark, of course. If your dog has a protective role in your home, simply take the No-Bark Collar off him when you want him to be free to bark.

Operation Guide
Thank you and congratulations for purchasing the Innotek Free Spirit rechargeable No-Bark Collar.

This electronic dog collar is among the safest, most humane and effective training products you can buy. Used properly, the collar's electronic stimulus serves as a distraction that your dog will find undesirable. By ceasing his nuisance barking, your dog quickly learns to shut off the stimulus.

Please take a few minutes to read this Operation Guide prior to your first use. These instructions contain important programming and set-up information to help your training proceed as successfully as possible. For best results, follow these important rules:

Important Safeguards

1. Obey all warnings contained in the manual.
2. The electronic dog collar is intended only for use on dogs. Never attempt to use this product for any purpose not specifically described in the instructions.
3. Use of the No-Bark Collar assumes your dog is healthy, both mentally and physically. If you have any reason to believe the dog may pose a danger to others, harm itself, or react adversely after receiving a stimulation from the No-Bark Collar, do not use this product to quiet your dog.
4. Do not leave the collar on your dog for more than 12 hours per day, or when you are away from home. See Caution: Check your dog's skin.
5. Never perform set-up procedures when the collar is on your dog.
6. Test the No-Bark Collar prior to first use or after changing settings to ensure that the unit is operating properly.
7. A low battery charge may cause intermittent operation. Do not use if you suspect a low battery charge.
8. An electronic collar should only be used under close supervision by the dog's owner.
9. Your dog will not respond to the No-Bark Collar unless:
   • The No-Bark Collar has an appropriate charge.
   • The No-Bark Collar is worn properly by the dog.
   • The No-Bark Collar is adjusted so that the probes touch your dog's skin.
   • The No-Bark Collar is positioned on your dog's neck an inch above or below the dog's vocal cords.
10. Realize that because individual dogs have unique temperaments, there is no way of knowing how your dog will react to its introduction to the No-Bark Collar. Also realize that an aggressive animal could turn against the handler upon receiving the stimulation. If your dog has a history of aggressive temperament or behavior, always consult a certified animal behaviorist before using this product. Please refer to the Helpful Hints and Training Guide section before proceeding.
11. Read all instructions before using this product. If you have any questions or concerns, phone Innotek at 800-826-5527.

Components
Before you begin, please take a few moments to become familiar with the basic components and their functions.

Collar Receiver Attached to a collar strap, this small black box contains the circuitry that delivers the stimulation to your dog. This rugged, waterproof collar receiver contains a long-life, rechargeable NiMH battery. The collar receiver has some charge from the factory; however, you must fully charge the unit before the initial use.

Stimulation Probes The two probes detect the vibration of your dog's bark and deliver the stimulus. Two sets of stimulation probes are included so you can use the collar with dogs of varying coat thicknesses.

Battery Charger Recharges the collar receiver's sealed long-life battery.

Step 1: Adjust the Collar Strap to Your Dog's Neck
Before charging the unit, adjust the collar so it correctly fits your dog.

1. Use short probes for short-haired dogs; use long probes for long-haired or thick-coated dogs.
2. Place the collar around the dog's neck, so the receiver box is under its chin.
3. The probes should be one inch above or below the dog's Adam's apple. This is where vibration from the vocal cords can best be detected.
4. Fit the collar strap as snugly as possible, without restricting breathing. You should be able to fit just one finger between the strap and your dog's skin. Make sure both probes contact the dog's skin.
5. If your dog has a small neck size, you may wish to trim the excess strap length. Remove the

   Important

   • Always use the rubber insulators between the collar strap and stimulation probes to provide insulation in damp conditions.
   • If needed, a small amount of hair removal or thinning will improve probe contact with the skin.
   • Never leave the collar on your dog for more than 12 hours a day or when you are away.
   • Check your dog periodically for skin irritation.
   • Check the tightness of the probes regularly to prevent loss of the receiver.

   Helpful Hints and Training Guide
   To get the most out of your new bark collar, please make sure to follow these steps before you begin:

   Always make sure the collar is functioning properly before you put it on the dog.

   Allow your dog to get used to the collar before introducing the potential for a barking incident. You want your dog to accept the collar as part of a routine, not to associate the collar with stimulation.

   Troubleshooting
   If the collar appears not to be working, try the following before contacting an Innotek Service Center:

   • Adjust neck strap fit (#1 source of troubleshooting calls).
   • Replace the 6-volt alkaline battery.
   • Check that the probes are tightened.
   • Ensure the probes are touching the dog's skin.
   • Trim the dog's hair or use longer probes to ensure proper skin contact.
   If stimulation levels appear to have risen too high for your dog's tolerance, reset the collar to Level 1 by removing the battery for one minute.

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