Fit the AutoTrainer Collar
Important: The proper fit and placement of your AutoTrainer Collar is important
for effective training.
To assure a proper fit, please follow these steps:
1. Have your pet standing comfortably (3A).
2. The AutoTrainer Collar should fit snugly to your dog’s neck,
with the transmitter placed directly over your dog’s throat (
3B).
3. The AutoTrainer Collar should fit snugly, yet loose enough to
allow one finger to fit between the strap and your pet’s neck
(
3C).
4. Allow your pet to wear the collar for several minutes then
recheck the fit. Check the fit again as your pet becomes more
comfortable with the AutoTrainer Collar.
5. Trim the collar as follows (3D):
A. Mark the desired length of the collar with a pen. Allow for
growth if your pet is young or grows a thick winter coat.
B. Remove the AutoTrainer Collar from your pet and cut off the
excess.
C. Before placing the AutoTrainer Collar back onto your pet,
seal the edge of the cut collar by applying a flame along the
frayed edge.
6. The AutoTrainer Collar will work in a range up to 100 feet. If
your dog leaves this range, or if the AutoTrainer Collar battery
dies, the AutoTrainer Base Unit will turn off after 30 minutes.
The history from the most current session will be saved. If
the dog reenters the range of the AutoTrainer Base Unit, or the battery is
replaced in the AutoTrainer Collar Unit, the AutoTrainer Base Unit will
restart in the 1st sequence and resume tracking history.
Reviewing the History
Note: When the AutoTrainer Base Unit is turned off, the data stored
will be deleted and cannot be recovered. If you wish to keep your
data, write it down after every session before the AutoTrainer Base
Unit is turned off.
1. To Pause the AutoTrainer Base Unit, press the Mode button for one
second (
4A). The AutoTrainer Base Unit will remain in Pause for 10
minutes.
2. To read the History:
A. The screen will show a total number of Barks for
the entire session (on left), and total pieces of
dispensed food for the entire session (on right)
(
4B).
B. Press the Scan button to view the Average
Barks/Hour.
C. Press the Scan button again to view the number
of barks during the first hour of the session.
Continue to press the Scan to view the number of barks for each hour of the session. After each
hour of the session has displayed, the History will return to the Barks/Food screen.
D. The AutoTrainer Base Unit holds 36 hours of data at a time.
3. To Unpause the AutoTrainer Base Unit, press the Mode button again within 10 minutes. After 10
minutes, the AutoTrainer Base Unit will go to sleep. In Sleep, the LCD screen light will blink and
you will not be able to restart the Calm Me or Teach Me mode. In order to resume training after 10
minutes in pause, the AutoTrainer Base Unit will need to be powered off and on manually by pressing
the Power button on and off for three seconds each.
4. If the AutoTrainer Base Unit is powering off from Pause mode, review history and write it down. All
data is deleted when the AutoTrainer Base Unit is turned off and cannot be recovered.
Training Guide
General Tips
• Before beginning training, be sure your dog has not eaten for at least a 4 hour period.
• For multi dog households, train one dog at a time.
• Use only dry treats/kibble.
• Introduce your dog to the AutoTrainer by letting him eat near the AutoTrainer Base Unit. Place some
of his daily amount of food in the bowl of the AutoTrainer Base Unit, do not turn it on yet, and let him
eat from the bowl. Once you have done this 1-2 times proceed to the Teach Me mode.
• Jamming - If the red lights on each side of the AutoTrainer Base Unit are blinking, the Food Disk is
jammed. Unjam the Food Disk by removing the Disk and clearing any food that has gotten stuck.
Press Mode to restart if the AutoTrainer Base Unit has been jammed for less than 10 minutes. If the
AutoTrainer Base Unit has been jammed for over 10 minutes, only one light will be blinking. Manually
turn the AutoTrainer Base Unit off, then back on.
Don’t forget to read and record all data before
powering off.
• Empty - If the red lights on each side of the AutoTrainer Base Unit are steadily on, the AutoTrainer
Base Unit is empty and needs to be refilled. Refill the AutoTrainer Base Unit and press Mode to start
over if the AutoTrainer Base Unit has been empty for less than 10 minutes. If the AutoTrainer Base
Unit has been empty for more than 10 minutes, manually turn the AutoTrainer Base Unit off, then
back on.
Don’t forget to read and record all data before powering off.
• After each session, be sure your dog has received any unfinished food or the remainder of their daily
food allowance.
