Turning the Collar On. Press the switch next to the contact points. One light will

double-flash. The collar is now on.

NOTE: To save battery life, the Bark Limiter

has a motion detector inside it. The lights

remain off (“sleep mode”) unless either motion or barking is detected.

Increasing Intensity. The Bark Limiter

has five correction levels. The blinking light

indicates the present level. To increase intensity, press and hold the switch until you see the

next intensity light glow. Release the switch. After you release the switch, the light for the

new level will flash, confirming your new setting.

Decreasing Intensity. When Level 5 is reached, the next intensity change will move

the intensity back to Level 1. I n c rease the level until you reach the desired intensity.

Checking Intensity. To see what intensity is selected after the collar has been turned on, just

move the collar. The light matching the selected intensity will begin blinking.

Delay Feature. The collar is not capable of making corrections for approximately 30

seconds after turn-on or an intensity change.

Turning the Collar Off. The internal motion detector will turn the collar off automatically whenever it is not being moved. However minor

movements will turn it on. You may wish to turn the collar off when not in use.

P ress and hold the switch for about three seconds until you see the intensity light move up one level and then back to the original level. Release the button

when the light has re t u rned to the original level. The lights will sweep back and forth, then the #3 light will flash, confirming that the collar is off .

The intensity that was selected when you turned the collar off will be saved.

Bark Odometer

. When you turn the Bark Limiter

off, it will report the corrections that have occurred since the last time you turned it on. Immediately

after you turn the unit off, the #3 light will flash one time to confirm turn-off. Then it will flash rapidly (one flash per detected bark). Based on the number of

these rapid flashes, you know whether your dog needed a few corrections, a lot of corrections, or no corrections at all while you were away from home.

Fitting a Bark Limiter

Properly. A Bark Limiter

must be very snug to work properly and correct the dog consistently.

To locate the buckle in the best position for your dog's neck size, you can adjust the strap by sliding it through the molded slots. You can substitute any

other strap that will fit through the molded slots. If the strap is too long for your dog, you can cut off the excess. Note that if the strap is far too long

for your dog, he can begin chewing it. Chewed straps are not covered by our warranty.

If your dog has a very dense undercoat, install the “long” contact points. Use only the plastic wrench that comes with the replacement contact points.

Turn the collar off before changing contact points.

Selecting Intensity. If your dog has never used a bark collar before, remember that a dog needs some experience to realize that his own bark causes

the correction he feels. If your dog is not used to bark collars, start on the lowest intensity. If the dog continues to bark in his normal fashion for longer

than 30 minutes, increase the intensity one level. If the dog alters the way he barks, this means he feels the correction. Give him a day’s experience

with the collar to learn to respond by not barking. If he’s still barking after that, increase the level. If he overreacts to the correction, use a lower level.

Continue until you find the level that discourages your dog from barking. Remember that there will be a 30-second delay after changing the intensity

before the collar will begin correcting.

Batteries. The Bark Limiter

comes with a non-rechargeable battery installed. If the first two lights blink at the same time when the unit is on, the

battery is becoming low. If these two lights glow steadily when you turn the collar on, the battery has become too low to operate the collar. Replace

with a 3-volt lithium battery, type CR2, available at most retailers.

To replace the battery, remove the collar strap and unscrew the two visible screws. Separate the two halves of the case and remove the old battery.

Replace the battery, following the polarity sign shown in the battery compartment.

NOTE: Replacing a battery automatically turns the unit on and you will see the light begin to blink. Thirty seconds after inserting the new battery,

the collar will become capable of stimulation. You may wish to turn the collar off .

Inspect the orange O-ring for any debris and gently remove debris with a damp cotton swab. Do not remove the O-ring. Press the two halves of

the case back together firmly and re i n s e rt the screws, tightening alternately until completely tight. Do not over tighten.

S e r vice and Wa rr a n t y. The Bark Limiter

X S

is covered by a one-year warranty on parts and labor. The warranty does not cover physical damage

or abuse, or damage to the unit or to the collar strap caused by chewing. The warranty is also void if the Bark Limiter

X S

has been altered or if

unauthorized service work has been attempted. If you send your Bark Limiter

X S

in for re p a i r, we may replace it with a reconditioned unit.

Call or email us before sending your Bark Limiter

X S

in for repair work.

P roduct Safety. Clinical animal safety studies have been designed and conducted for Tr i - Tronics by veterinarians and physiologists at a major

u n i v e r s i t y. The scientific studies tested for possible card i o p u l m o n a ry and epidermal effects of Tri- Tronics’ electrical stimulation applied to the

ventral surface of the neck of healthy dogs. These studies showed that there were no clinically significant changes in electro c a rdiograms, blood

p re s s u res, or pro p e rties of the skin underlying the contact points.

The clinical investigations involved parameters of electrical stimulation (e.g., maximum output voltage, output impedance, current density, and

repetition rate) that were basically the same as those of the Bark Limiter

X S

. The safety of the Bark Limiter

X S

is strongly supported by the scientific,

clinical data.

To guard against skin irritation due to rubbing, inspect the dog’s neck at least once a day, especially in the early stages of use. The possibility that

i rritation will occur, although small, increases with the length of time the collar is on the dog.

NOTE: Even though Tr i - Tronics products are safe, they are intended for use only on healthy dogs. It is always wise to have your dog checked by a

veterinarian before any type of training.

The dog is still barking while

wearing the Bark Limiter

• The collar may be turned off.

Be sure the unit is on.

• The collar is inactive for 30

seconds after turn-on or any

intensity change. Wait for the

collar to become active.

• The collar isn't tight enough.

Tighten the collar strap.

• The intensity isn't high

enough. Try the next level.

Remember it takes 30

seconds after changing

intensity for the collar to

become active again.

• The contact points aren't

making contact through the

dog’s undercoat. Use the long

contact points. Wiggle the

unit on the dog’s neck to

work the contact points

through his coat.

The collar light isn't blinking even

though I turned the collar on.

• It is normal for the light to

stop blinking whenever the

unit has not been moved.

This is the battery-saving

sleep mode.

The collar is blinking while it's on

the dog. Is it correcting him even

when he isn't barking?

• No. The blinking light just

means that the collar is

turned on.

I can't get the collar to turn off or

the intensity to change levels.

• Be sure to press and hold the

switch firmly.

M ydog's skin is irritated wher he

has been wearing the bark collar.

• Dogs with sensitive skin can

experience skin irritation if

they wear a bark collar too

long at any one time, due to

the mechanical pressure of

the contact points. Do not

use the bark collar until the

irritation is cleared up. Also,

do not use it for longer than

10 hours out of every 24

hours. If the dog gets wet

while wearing a bark collar,

the chance of irritation is

i n c reased. Using the short

contact points will reduce

the chance of skin irr i t a t i o n .

Contact your veterinarian if

the skin irritation is

especially severe.
