Cold Weather OperationIn cold temperatures (10°F or below), theliquid crystal display (LCD) on yourTransmitter may be dim or slow torespond. Wait until the display becomesvisible before selecting any trainingcommands.
Cold temperatures may lead to apremature low battery signal, so keep thetransmitter close to your body during coldweather. One way to keep the transmitterclose to your body is by using thelanyard.
UUssee tthhee LLaannyyaarrdd:: Attach the includedlanyard to the Transmitter. Slip thelanyard over your head and shoulder(above left) or position in front of you(above right) to carry your Transmitterclose to your body. Your body’s warmthwill improve cold-weather operation.
Operating RangeYour Transmitter communicates with theReceiver collar via a radio signal. Thesystem’s operating range, as stated onpackaging, is based upon line-of-sight.For maximum range, keep your fingersaway from the antenna during use, andalways keep the antenna away from allmagnets. As shown at right, hold thetransmitter upright, at or above shoulderlevel, and away from your body.
THE RECEIVERThe lightweight, comfortable electronicReceiver is integrated into a sleekfashionable collar strap your dog wears.The Receiver produces a harmless, yeteffective stimulation and can emit atraining tone. The Receiver is waterproofand is safe for your dog to wear evenwhile swimming.
CCAAUUTTIIOONN:: Your FieldProTransmitter and receiver collar
are factory sealed to be waterproof. Ifyou disassemble the case for anyreason, INNOTEK can no longer assureyou that the unit is waterproof.
The Receiver is rechargeable; theReceiver’s LED Indicator light glows redwhile charging and glows green whencharging is complete.
The Receiver uses the LED to let youknow its status. Refer to the ReceiverStatus Indicators table on the next page.

Auto Shut OffWhen the Receiver is on and doesn’treceive a command from the Transmitterfor 6 straight hours, it will automaticallyshut itself off. This INNOTEK featuresaves Receiver battery power for fieldwork, rather than using it up being idle.Follow Power Up instructions (bottom ofprevious column) to turn on yourReceiver again.
ReadyTest™ Self-TestWhen you remove the Receiver from thecharging cradle, it automatically goesinto ReadyTest™ (a diagnostic self-test)for 5 seconds. The Receiver’s internaldiagnostics check the battery chargelevel (the Receiver LED light indicatesbattery charge level) and checks that allcircuits are working. Do not touch themetal contacts during this test. Touchingthe contacts after removing the Receiverfrom the charging cradle may causeReadyTest™ to fail. ReadyTest™ gives youconfidence that your Receiver is workingproperly, and is ready to go. After theReceiver passes ReadyTest™, it shutsitself off. If ReadyTest™ fails, the unitmakes a 20-second tone, the LEDglows solid red for 20-seconds, andthen shuts off. A Receiver that failsReadyTest™ will not respond to theTransmitter’s commands. To retest theReceiver, place the Receiver back onthe charger for 5 seconds, then removeit. DDoo nnoott ttoouucchh tthhee mmeettaall ccoonnttaaccttss..

Fitting the Collar and Receiver
The collar strap should fit snugly towardsthe top of your dog’s neck with thereceiver on the bottom of the neck.
Check that the INNOTEK® logo is rightside up. You should be able to get onefinger between the collar strap and yourdog’s neck. The contacts must touchthe dog’s skin for proper operation. Alittle hair thinning may be required. DDoonnoott sshhaavvee yyoouurr ddoogg’’ss nneecckk..
Occasionally, check the tightness of thecontacts to ensure they will not be lostfrom the Receiver. Lost parts are notcovered under your warranty.
Trim excess strap. You’ll want to leaveabout 2 inches of excess strap. NNoottee ifyour dog is young and you expect it togrow, you’ll want to leave extra strap toallow for future collar fastening.Replacement straps are available. Callus at 11--880000--882266--55552277.
NNoottee:: Dogs’ coats are as unique as dogsthemselves. You may wish to try thelonger contacts if your dog has a veryheavy coat. Be certain your dog can feelstimulation before training begins.
Two Dog SystemsIf you wish to add another receiver collarto the training system, accessoryreceiver collars are available where youbought your training system, or call us at11--880000--882266--55552277.

FieldPro Owner’s Manual16
Testing the ReceiverIn order to make sure the Receiver isgetting signals from the Transmitter, youmay wish to test the Receiver from timeto time.
To test:11.. Hold the included Test Light across
the Receiver’s contacts. (Refer tothe illustration at the bottom of thiscolumn, the holes in the Test Lightgo over the contact tips; make surethe wire inside the hole touches thecontact tip.)
22.. Press the Stimulation button on theTransmitter.
33.. The Test Light lights up. Theintensity of the Test Light dependson the stimulation level. The light isdim for low stimulation levels and isbrighter for higher stimulation levels.
TRAININGAlways start training your dog with thelowest stimulation, and increase to ahigher level only if necessary. You willknow when you’ve reached the rightlevel when your dog responds bytwitching his head, neck, or shoulders,or by perking up his ears. If the dogvocalizes, you need to go to a lowerlevel.
When Ranger is in CCoonnttiinnuuoouuss mode,you control the duration of thestimulation by the length of time youpress the Stimulation button. For a shortstimulation, press and release thebutton. For a longer stimulation, hold thebutton down. A maximum of 10seconds of Receiver stimulation may beapplied before the safety lockout feature((OOvveerr--ssttiimmuullaattiioonn pprrootteeccttiioonn,, sseeee bbeellooww))starts.
When Ranger is in MMoommeennttaarryy mode,each stim button press (Stim or Alt Stim)produces one stim at the Receiver collar.Release the stim button in order todeliver another momentary (nick, or brieftap) stim.
Over-Stimulation ProtectionThe Transmitter can transmit continuously(Tone or Stim) for up to 10 seconds. Ifyou attempt to transmit continuously formore than 10 seconds, the transmitterenters a 10 second lockout mode duringwhich time no transmissions are allowed.
Receiver contacts touchwires inside these holes.

FieldPro Owner’s Manual 17
Training Tone OptionThe Tone button causes the collar toproduce a sound. No stimulation isdelivered when the Tone button ispressed. The tone continues for as longas the button is held down, up to 10seconds. A tone can help strengthen adog’s response to training. The tone canbe used as a warning tone prior topressing the stimulation button; or canbe a reward tone when presented withpraise, play, or food for good behavior.
The use of a training tone is optional. Itsuse varies among popular trainingmethods. Some trainers choose to usethe tone option as a warning tone priorto stimulation, others prefer to use thetone option as a reward tone, and stillothers prefer to not use it at all. It isimperative for successful dog training touse the tone option consistently through-out the training process. Whether thetone will mean reward or warning to yourdog is up to the training method yyoouucchhoooossee.
Remember: the training toneCANNOT be both a warning tone
and a reward tone. To learn more abouttone training, consult a qualified dogtraining professional.
To program the Ranger Transmitter forTone operation, see Program the StimType (Tone Option) on page 10.
Training Tips• Watch the included DVD to get the
basics for training your dog properlywith a remote training system.
• We recommend your dog be at leastsix months old before starting aremote training system program.
• Always praise your dog for goodbehavior!
• Teach him what the commands meanbefore introducing the Receiver collaras a reinforcement tool.
• Keep training sessions brief, about tenminutes of training and then a rest orplay period of at least equal length.
• Dogs learn through repetition. Youmay have better training success ifyou can elicit an undesired behaviorwhen you can anticipate it. Forexample, if the dog misbehaves andjumps on visitors, have someonecome in and out of the front doorseveral times over a half-hour period.You’ll be expecting it and will be readyto teach your dog the right behavior.
• Always end a training session on apositive note. Let the dog havesuccess. This way he’ll look forward tothe next session.
• Training should be fun for both youand your dog. Never train when youare angry. If you get frustrated duringtraining, stop and come back to itlater. Your dog will learn better whenyou are both relaxed.
FieldPro Owner’s Manual18
• The goal of training is to condition yourdog to respond to your verbalcommands in all situations. Youshould plan on using the Receivercollar for at least four months. A goodrule is, once started with a remotetraining system, to regularly have theReceiver collar on when you take thedog out. This will ensure that he willalways be imprinted with the correctresponse to your commands and that
you are always in control.
Component Care1. Use a soft damp cloth to clean the
Transmitter and Receiver.
2. Do not use alcohol or cleaningsolutions to clean the Transmitter andReceiver.
3. Dry the Transmitter and Receiver witha dry, lint-free cloth should they getwet.
4. Remove (Scout) batteries duringlong-term storage.
TROUBLESHOOTINGIf the Transmitter and Receiver appear tobe not working, try the following:
• Adjust the collar strap to fit better.
• Test the Receiver using the Test Light(Instructions are on page 16). If nolight, recharge the Receiver’s battery.
• If the Transmitter display is off, first trypressing any button. If the displayremains off, recharge the RangerTransmitter or replace ScoutTransmitter batteries.
• Carefully turn on the components asshown in the Quick Start Guide(beginning of this manual).
• Check that the Receiver contacts areproperly tightened.
• Ensure that the Receiver contacts aretouching the dog’s skin.
• If necessary, trim the dog’s hair or usethe longer contacts to ensure properskin contact. Never shave the dog’sneck.
• Try a stronger stimulation level.
If you still have a problem which youbelieve requires service, please call 11--880000--882266--55552277 to speak with anINNOTEK consumer service agent. Manyproblems can be remedied over thephone without returning the unit forservice.
FieldPro Owner’s Manual 19
IMPORTANT ADVICE1. Read the entire Owner’s Manual and
follow all directions. If you have anyquestions, please call 1-800-826-5527.
2. This system is intended for use onlyon dogs. Never attempt to use it forany purpose not described in thismanual.
3. Keep out of the reach of children
4. Never perform set-up procedureswhile the Receiver collar is on yourdog.
5. Any collar worn for extendedperiods can cause a condition similarto bedsores, known as PressureNecrosis. To reduce the possibility,you must do the following:
• Never leave the collar on the dog formore than 12 hours per day.
• Examine the dog’s neck daily for anysigns of a rash or a sore.
• Supervise your dog during the first 2days of training.
• Check the fit to prevent excessivepressure; you should be able toinsert one finger between the collarstrap and your dog’s skin.
• Wash the dog’s neck area and thecontacts of the collar weekly with awashcloth and mild hand soap; rinsethoroughly.
• If the condition persists beyond 24hours, consult your veterinarian.
6. Metal tags and collars should beremoved when using the receivercollar as they may interfere withproper operation.
7. Do not attempt to dismantle or repairany components of this system; doingso wwiillll vvooiidd tthhee wwaarrrraannttyy iinn ffuullll..
8. Realize that because dogs haveunique temperament, there is no wayof knowing how your dog will react tothe introduction of a remote trainingsystem. For the safety of your dog, along lead should be used during initialtraining so you have complete controlof the situation.
9. If you have reason to believe that yourdog may pose a danger to others,harm itself, or react adversely to thecollar, do not rely solely on thisproduct to train your dog. If your dogshows signs of growling, snarling, orbiting while using the collar, stopimmediately. Aggression in dogs hasmany causes. We recommend thatyou consult a knowledgeableprofessional dog trainer or animalbehaviorist who has experience withaggressive dogs if your dog hasshown any of these characteristics.
10. Occasionally, a dog cannot betrained to respond to a remotetraining collar. Sometimes even aproperly trained dog may disobey acommand. Therefore, INNOTEK, Inc.,its distributors, and dealers cannotguarantee that the system will in allcases keep the customer’s dog fromdisobeying commands.
11. To maintain maximum range, keepthe Transmitter antenna away from allmagnets, especially the very strongmagnet in the Receiver’s chargingcradle.
