Understanding the Transmitter
This handheld device signals the collar receiver to pro-
duce stimulation and/or tone. The transmitter is water-
resistant and should not be immersed in water or placed
in a dishwasher.
Transmitter Buttons:
ADV-300E and ADV-1000E users
C (CONTINUOUS) you control the length of
stimulation by the time you press the button. For
a short stimulation, press and release the button. For a
longer stimulation, hold the button down. A maximum of
10 seconds may be applied before the safety feature to
prevent over-correction engages. After 10 seconds,
stimulation will be locked out for another 10 seconds.
M (MOMENTARY) delivers a brief, pre-meas-
ured tap.
BOOST sends continuous stimulation 2 levels
higher than the currently selected level. For
example, if the stimulation level is set at Level 2,
a touch of the Boost control will stimulate at Level 4. Some
trainers like instant access to a higher setting for circum-
stances where the dog may not respond to lower levels,
such as around high distractions.
TONE produces a tone from the collar. No stimu-
lation is delivered.
+ (LEVEL UP) increases stimulation level
– (LEVEL DOWN) decreases stimulation level

feature means when
you hold down the Level Up/Down button for more than a
fraction of a second, the digits will advance/decrease rap-
idly; great in getting to higher stimulation levels quickly.
ADV-1002E:
DOG 1 - Provides stimulation for Dog 1. Uses con-
tinuous stimulation, meaning that you control the length
of stimulation by the time you press the button. For a
short tap, press and release the button. For a longer sig-
nal, hold the button down. A maximum of 10 seconds
may be applied before the safety feature to prevent
over-correction engages. After 10 seconds, stimulation
will be locked out for another 10 seconds.
DOG 2 – Provides stimulation for Dog 2. Also uses
continuous stimulation.
+ (LEVEL UP) increases stimulation level for the dog
indicated in that column.
– (LEVEL DOWN) decreases stimulation level for the
dog indicated in that column.
The Digital Display
When either the Continuous or Momentary buttons are
pushed (DOG1 or DOG2 on the ADV-1002E), the display
will indicate the stimulation level being transmitted. For

released, the dog number (Dog1/Dog2) and stimulation
level will alternate briefly.
When the Level UP (+) or Level DOWN (–) button is
pushed, the display will show the new level of stimula-
tion.
LO BAT appears when the transmitter batteries need to
be replaced.
ADV-300E and ADV-1000E:
When the tone button is pressed, a small bar will appear
to the left of the stimulation level 0 as no stimulation is
being delivered.
Replacement Batteries
The ADV transmitters use two 6-volt alkaline batteries.
These are commonly available where you bought your
unit, or wherever batteries are sold.
Understanding the Receiver
The ADV units use a LED light to let you know the status
of the collar.
Blinking green light – collar is on and ready to use
Pulsating red light – stimulation is being delivered
Pulsating green – tone only being delivered
Blinking red light – low battery; charge as soon as
possible
Solid green light – over-correction timeout; wait 10
seconds
Blinking yellow light – collar should be matched to
transmitter
Testing the Receiver
Hold the test light across the receiver probes
Press the transmitter button for stimulation
Test light will illuminate for the length of time stimula-
tion is being delivered
The intensity of the light will increase as the level
increases
Charging the Receiver
The receiver has a long-life NiMH battery. It will take
12-14 hours to fully charge and will operate up 72
hours between charges depending on use and tempera-
ture. Extreme temperatures (hot or cold) can significant-
ly affect battery life. Always charge at room tempera-
ture.
Collar should be fully charged once every 2-3 months.
The receiver will need to be matched with the transmit-
ter after charging. Follow Step 2 of the Quick Start
Guide.
Matching the Transmitter and Receiver
Locate the red dot on transmitter and on receiver. Hold
the transmitter dot to the receiver dot until the receiver
LED glows green, then amber. Separate the dots and
immediately press and hold the transmitter “C” stimula-
tion button. The collar LED will pulsate red to indicate
stimulation is being delivered. The components now
work together.
ADV-1002: Match transmitter and receiver as above,start-
ing with the yellow collar receiver and the Dog 1 stimula-
tion button. Then repeat with the black collar and the Dog
2 stimulation button.
Training Tips
Watch the included video to get the basics for training
your dog properly with a remote trainer.
Always praise your dog for good behavior!
Teach him what the commands mean before introduc-
ing the collar as a reinforcement tool.
Keep training sessions brief, about ten minutes of
train-ing and then a rest or play period of at least equal
length.
Dogs learn through repetition. You may have better
success if you can elicit an undesired behavior when
you can anticipate it. For example, if the dog misbe-
haves and jumps on visitors, have someone come in
and out of the front door several times over a half-hour
period. You’ll be expecting it and will be ready to teach
your dog the right behavior.
Always end a training session on a positive note. Let
the dog have success. This way he’ll look forward to
the next session.
Training should be fun for both you and your dog.
Never train when you are angry. If you get frustrated
during training, stop and come back to it later. Your
dog will learn better when you are both relaxed.
We recommend your dog be at least six months old
before starting a remote training program. You will be
asking your dog to concentrate for periods of time and
to remember what you have taught. Young puppies do
not necessarily have the required mental development
or attention span for these activities.
The goal of training is to condition your dog to respond
to your verbal commands under all situations. You
should plan on using the collar for at least four
months. A good rule is, once started with a remote
trainer, to always have the collar on when you take the
dog out. This will ensure that he will always be
imprinted with the correct response to your com-
mands and that you are always in control.

Troubleshooting
If the collar appears not to be working, try the following:
Adjust the collar strap to fit.
Test the receiver, if no light, recharge the battery in the
receiver.
If the transmitter LED is out, replace the transmitter
batteries.
Turn ON the components as shown in the Quick Start
Guide.
Rematch the components as shown in Step 2 of the
Quick Start Guide.
Check that the probes are tightened.
Ensure that the probes are touching the dog’s skin.
Trim the dog’s hair or use the longer probes to ensure
proper skin contact. Never shave the dog’s neck.
Use a stronger stimulation level.
IMPORTANT ADVICE
1. Read the complete instructions and follow all direc-
tions.
2. This device is intended for use only on dogs. Never
attempt to use it for any purpose not described in this
manual.
3. KEEP OUT OF THE REACH OF CHILDREN.
4. Never perform set-up procedures while the collar is on
your dog.
5. Any collar worn for extended periods can cause a con-
dition similar to bedsores, known 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 2 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 and mild hand soap; rinse
thoroughly.
If the condition persists beyond 24 hours, see your
veterinarian.
6. Always use the rubber insulators between the collar
strap and probes to provide insulation in damp condi-
tions.
7. Other collars and metal tags should be removed when
using the remote training collar as they may interfere
with proper operation.
8. 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.
9. Realize that because dogs have unique teperaments,
there is no way of knowing how your dog will react to
the introduction of a remote training collar system. For
the safety of your dog, a long lead should be used dur-
ing initial training so you have control of the situation.
10. If you have reason to believe that your dog many 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. We recommend
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.
11. Occasionally, a dog cannot be trained to respond to a
remote training collar. Sometimes even a properly
trained dog may disobey a command. Therefore,
INNOTEK, its distributors, and dealers cannot guaran-
tee that the system will in all cases keep the cus-
tomer’s animal from disobeying commands.
