Petsafe Innotek Command Series Remote Trainer User Manual [en, de, es, fr, it]

This INNOTEK 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 obeying, your dog quickly learns to shut off the stimulus, thus gaining confidence in response to your commands. Like most INNOTEK training products, this collar has adjustable stimulation levels. This feature allows you to use the level that best matches your dog's temperament.

Please take a few minutes to read the instruction manual prior to your first use. This instruction manual contains important programming and setup information to help your training proceed as successfully as possible. For best results, follow these tips:

• Most dog owners are surprised at how much can be accomplished by using low-level stimu­lation, therefore use the lowest stimulation necessary to get the desired behavior.

• Allow your dog to get used to the collar before you begin training. You want your dog to accept the collar as part of a routine, not to associate the collar with correction.

• Read all instructions before using this product. If you have questions or concerns, contact your nearest INNOTEK dealer or service center.

Realize that because individual dogs have unique temperaments, there is no way of knowing how your dog will react to its introduction to this product. For the safety of your dog, initial training should take place using a long lead to keep you in control of the situation. Also realize that an aggressive animal could turn against the handler upon receiving the stimulus. Therefore, if you feel your dog has an aggressive behavior and/or it has a history of aggressive behavior, you should consult a certified animal behaviorist before using this product. Please refer to the Helpful Hints and Training Guide section before proceeding.

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

Transmitter - The compact hand-held transmitter sends a coded signal to the collar receiver and confirms operation whenever the button is pressed. It operates on a 9-volt alkaline battery.

Training Collar - This rugged, water-resistant collar receiver is attached to a strap. The dog receives the stimulus from the transmitter via the col­lar receiver's probes.

Test Light - To test the system, bridge the collar probes with the tester and press the transmitter button. If the lamp glows, the collar is deliver­ing stimulation.

Antennas - Two antennas are included. For best results, use the 5cm antenna in European countries. The 17cm antenna may be used in the USA only.

Lanyard – A nylon cord with clip is included. Clip the transmitter to the lanyard; loop the lanyard around your wrist or neck to keep the transmit­ter close at hand.

Screw the supplied antenna into the port on the top of the transmitter. Install the battery by removing the battery cover on the back of the transmitter and snapping the supplied 9-volt alkaline battery into the correct battery terminals.

Note: Read Steps 1 and 2 carefully before proceeding. You must begin Step 2 within 10 seconds of completing Step 1.

1. Press the white reset button above the battery (Fig. 1). The light on the face of the transmitter will glow solid YELLOW.

• RED – Stimulation after tone and a 1.5-second delay Note: The light will change color to match your selection. If you do not select a tone option, the system automatically defaults to stimulation with no tone.

Setting/Changing the ID Code – You must set an ID code before first use and whenever you change the transmitter battery. In the unlikely event you experience interference from another INNOTEK trainer in your area, you can simply change your transmitter's code. To set or change the ID code:

1. Press the white reset button above the battery (Fig. 1). The light on the face of the transmitter will glow solid YELLOW.

2. Press and release the round BLUE button in the center column. The light will flash alternating RED and GREEN several times as it selects an ID code.

Install the battery. With the edge of the supplied wrench or a small coin, unscrew the battery screw cap. Insert the supplied 3-volt lithium battery with the positive terminal (+) facing out. Replace and tighten the battery screw cap.

making sure all collar receivers are OFF except the one you are currently synchronizing. This will pre­vent the possibility of matching two dogs to the same DOG column.

and collar receiver. Hold the two dots together for 5 to 8 seconds until a solid YELLOW light glows on the receiver.

flashes RED as the button is pressed. The light slowly flashes GREEN after release, indicating a successful match.

1. The collar receiver features a magnetic ON/OFF switch. Turn the receiver ON/OFF using the magnet built into the transmitter.

3. Slide its surface against the red paper dot on the receiver. A continuous short GREEN flash indicates that the receiver is ON. One long RED flash followed by no light indicates the receiver is OFF. (

The following identifies the different stimulation types, levels, and tones available to you and your dog(s). Remember that your Command Series 1600E allows the transmitter to operate two receiver collars. Each of these receivers may have different stimulation type, level, and tone from the other receiver collar.As you review each, you may wish to mark the programming fea­ture most appropriate for each of your dogs.

Regardless of the stimulation type you choose, Button 4 is preprogrammed as a "hot button" to administer a continuous Level 7 stimulation with no tone.

While there are seven levels of stimulation (Level 1-minimum to Level 7-maximum), you have access to no more than four patterns of stimulation per dog.

These four pre-determined patterns are shown on following page. When you initially program your transmitter for stimulation levels, you are selecting one of these patterns to correspond to the four numbered buttons in each dog column.

In the following procedure, reference this table of tone settings. Press one of the buttons in the center column:

Button # 2 = Level 2 stimulation (low) Button # 3 = Level 3 stimulation (low medium) Button # 4 = Level 7 stimulation (maximum)

Button # 2 = Level 3 stimulation (low medium) Button # 3 = Level 4 stimulation (medium) Button # 4 = Level 7 stimulation (maximum)

Button # 2 = Level 4 stimulation (medium) Button # 3 = Level 5 stimulation (medium high) Button # 4 = Level 7 stimulation (maximum)

Button # 2 = Level 5 stimulation (medium high) Button # 3 = Level 6 stimulation (high) Button # 4 = Level 7 stimulation (maximum)

Your Command Series 1600E allows the transmitter to operate two receiver collars. Each of these receivers may have different stimulation type, level, and tone from the other receiver collar.

Install the battery. With the edge of the supplied wrench or a small coin, unscrew the battery screw cap. Insert the supplied 3-volt lithium battery with the positive terminal (+) facing out. Replace and tighten the battery screw cap.

2. Continue to hold the red paper dots together during the following series of lights on the col­lar receiver.A solid light will come on and go out followed by another solid light.

3. Separate the transmitter and collar receiver by about 30 cm. A flashing light will be on the collar receiver.

4. Press Button 1 on the transmitter for 2 seconds. The light on the collar receiver will pulsate red. Stimulation will be delivered when Button 1 is pressed so do not touch the probes.

Note: We suggest you synchronize the yellow collar to the yellow column of buttons, blue col­lar to the blue column, etc.

Set stimulation level following the table on the previous page; in the DOG 1 col­umn, press either 1, 2, 3, or 4

1. The collar receiver features a magnetic ON/OFF switch. Turn the receiver ON/OFF using the magnet built into the transmitter, or a strong household magnet.

3. Slide its surface against the red paper dot on the receiver. A continuous short GREEN flash indicates that the receiver is ON. One long RED flash followed by no light indicates the receiv­er is OFF. (

• Finger-tighten the probes, then turn one additional revolution with the probe wrench. Do not over-tighten.

Proper Fit: The collar strap fit should be snug, yet loose enough to allow two fingers to fit between the strap and dog’s neck.

For Best Results: If the dog does not seem to be feeling the stimulus, try moving the receiver to another part of the neck. This may improve the contact.

Dummy collars, which are non-operational but get the dog used to wearing a training collar, are also available. Contact your nearest INNOTEK Service Center to order.

• Always use the rubber insulators between the collar strap and probes to provide insulation in damp conditions.

Any Command Series 1600E transmitter can be programmed to operate up to two collar receivers and a variety of bird launchers. The transmitters can also operate bird launchers in lieu of collar receivers.

INNOTEK bird launchers are excellent tools for training pointing and flushing dogs. The RL-10 is perfect for small birds such as pigeons, quail and chukar.

1. Install the battery. Carefully open the launcher and remove the battery cover located on the small black receiver. Snap the 9-volt alkaline battery into the correct battery terminals. The receiver light next to the battery compartment flashes YELLOW.

2. Above the battery compartment, press and hold the RED button. The receiver light will flash GREEN, then go out, and then glow YELLOW.

3. After the YELLOW light has appeared, release the RED button. The YELLOW light will glow on for 2 seconds, then start to flash YELLOW. The launcher is ready to be synchronized.

4. Press the button on your transmitter that you wish to use to activate the launcher.The launcher arm moves and the light on the launcher glows GREEN for one second then goes out. Your launcher is now ready to use.

5. To add additional launchers, repeat the above steps for each launcher, using different transmitter buttons for activation.

Note: If the launcher will not respond when the programmed button is pressed, you may need to reset the transmitter ID code. See "Selecting an ID code" on page ENG-3 for details.

Match the collar receiver to the transmitter. Select the desired tracking mode from the choices below. The modes differ according to how often the collar beeps

Note: When the dog goes on point, there is a delay before the collar goes into point mode. In Normal and Silent Mode, the delay is as long as 10 seconds. In Grouse Mode, the delay is as long as 5 seconds. This feature keeps the pointing mode from activating when the dog stops momen­tarily.

2. Press Button 4 in the DOG 1 column to locate the primary dog. The continuous tone will sound until you release the button.

3. Note this step also turns OFF the tracking feature. To turn ON the tracking mode, follow the procedure, "programming the collar receiver(s) for tracking," above.

To get the most out of your new remote trainer, please make sure to follow these steps before you begin:

• To manually test the system for proper functioning, attach the test light to the probes of the collar receiver and press the transmitter button. The test lamp should light to indicate stimula­tion is being delivered. If the test lamp does not light, refer to the Important Note in Section 1.

• If signals from another transmitter or similar device interfere with your training, change the ID Code as explained on page ENG-3.

• If your dog seems sometimes to not be receiving the stimulus, the cause could be discharged batteries, a collar that is too loose or probes of insufficient length. Recharging the collar, replacing the transmitter battery or adjusting the collar and probes solves these problems. If you still cannot solve the problem, contact your nearest INNOTEK Service Center.

Important: The perceived stimulation intensity is increased when your dog's hair and skin are wet. Use a lower level of stimulation when the dog is wet.

Batteries must be recycled or disposed of properly. They should NEVER be placed in munic­ipal waste. Should it be necessary to remove or replace your unit’s battery, your INNOTEK Service Center will dispose of it according to local regulations.

Note that in some countries there could be a limitation of use due to national frequency planning requirements. The user is responsible for respecting those rules.
