Innotek Zones Instant Pet Proofing Barrier & Collar

• Place a Zone and set range from two to 12 feet.
• Fit collar on your dog.
• Enjoy your dog-free zone.
• Extra add-on zones and collars are available

The fast and easy way to help your dog avoid problem areas.

Designed by professionals to instantly keep your dog away from problem areas in your home--no training necessary. You can put a Zone near anything you want your dog to avoid--the trash, kitchen counter, dining room table, baby's crib, or protect your fine furniture. Your dog's collar safely reminds him that this space is off-limits.

The 1.3 oz. Innotek comfort collar will easily fit any size dog. Your dog's collar will work with as many Zones as you have problems areas (Extra Zones sold separately). Each Zone requires three AA batteries, not included.

Cordless system is portable. Great for travel.

Quick Start Guide

Step 1: Power Up
Install three AA alkaline batteries in the Zone.

Step 2: Set the Pet Proofing Range
Determine the desired location and size for pet-free zone. Hold the Zone so that the name is right side up. Press the arrow-shaped button that points upward. A segmented line will appear in the window. Each segment represents approximately two feet of diameter. The arrow-shaped button pointing downward will reduce the diameter of the pet-free zone. Once range is set, place Zone in desired area.

Step 3: Fit Collar on Dog
Thread the collar strap through the channels on the receiver. With the collar still turned off, place on dog and adjust to fit. For proper fit, the collar 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. After you are satisfied with the fit, you can now turn the collar on for first use. Move your dog to an area away from the pet-free zone before turning the collar on.

Your Dog's First Session
Activate the collar by turning the receiver battery cover clockwise to the on position. Move your dog to an area away from the pet-free zone before turning the collar on. Allow your dog to enter the zone on his own.

Monitor your dog during his first session. Dogs learn at different speeds. It may take several times for your dog to honor the pet-free zone. You may also need to adjust the range so that your dog receives the warning sooner.

If you find that your dog is confused or unsure how to avoid the correction, it may be useful to put a long leash on your dog and show him how to avoid the Zone by gently guiding him out of the range once he has entered. Be sure to praise your dog for leaving the pet-free zone.

Important Information About Range
Your Zones transmitter communicates with your pet's collar via a radio frequency signal and under normal circumstances will cover an area up to 12 feet in diameter or a six foot radius. Due to the inherent properties of radio signals, some locations may affect the maximum range that can be achieved. This may be particularly noticeable around metal objects.

Should you find that you are not getting the desired range at the maximum setting, altering the Zone location by a few feet or changing how the Zone is positioned, i.e.: standing on end instead of laying flat may help cover your pet-free area.

Testing the Zone
You may wish to verify the range of the pet-free zone. Holding the collar, start outside the range and walk slowly toward the Zone. The collar will emit a high-pitched tone as it approaches the outer range of the pet-free zone followed by an escalating level of correction as it moves closer to the Zone. Note: The tone is easily heard by dogs, but may be a pitch that is difficult for you to hear. If you cannot hear the tone, hold the supplied test light on the collar probes and repeat this test.

Turning the Units Off
To turn the Zone off, continue to press and release the down arrow until no bars are present in the window. The Zone is now off. To turn the collar off, simply twist the battery cover to the center stop position.

Receiver Batteries
The Zones collar uses two 3-volt lithium coin cell batteries size CR2032. These are commonly available where batteries are sold. To replace the batteries, twist the battery cover counterclockwise to the open position. Lift the cap out, remove the old batteries and insert new batteries positive side (+) toward the battery cap lid.

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

• Adjust the collar strap to fit.
• Check that the probes are tightened.
• Ensure that the probes are touching the dog's skin.
• If necessary, trim your dog's hair to ensure proper skin contact. Do not shave the dog's neck.
• Test the collar. If no tone is audible, replace the batteries.
• Check the Zone. If the display does not appear, replace the batteries.

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 the 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, know 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 two 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. The manufacturer recommends 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.
