How it Works: The Sunbeam® Mini Bark Control Collar has a proprietary bark detection system that uses sensors and a voice mapping system to determine barking behavior. This unique system ensures that only the dog wearing the collar initiates and receives a correction as needed. As a safety feature, the system also has been designed to prevent continuous corrections if excessive barking is detected. An Over Correction Mode causes the system to turn off and automatically resets.
• To test the unit turn on by pressing and holding the main control button for 4 seconds. The LED light will flash for 10 seconds, indicating which correction level is in use. • To turn off the unit, press and hold the main control button for 4 seconds. The LED light will illuminate green for 2 seconds, indicating the unit is off. • When replacing batteries after usage you must completely discharge the collar by holding a plastic handle screwdriver across both stainless steel probes for 5 seconds.
Trimming the hair around the dog’s neck where the stainless steel probes will touch the skin is optional, DO NOT trim the hair so short that the skin is completely exposed as this might allow for an irritation or rash to occur. Use a wrench when assembling or disassembling the stainless steel probes, do not over tighten. (fig. 6) figure 6 STEP 3: Close and lock clasp. (fig. 7) STEP 4: Adjust for proper fit by pulling on strap until you can fit two fingers in between your dog’s neck and the collar. (fig.
READY TO USE Note: The BATTERY INSTALLATION and COLLAR FITTING steps must be completed before you are ready to use. Complete the steps below while the collar is NOT on your dog. STEP 1: Holding the main body of the Sunbeam® Mini Bark Control Collar in both hands PRESS and HOLD the Main Control Button for 4 seconds. Note: The LED light will flash for 10 seconds indicating which level is in use. The default correction level is LOW; this setting will flash green once for 10 seconds and then turn off.
SPECIAL OPERATING NOTES SLEEP MODE: This is the normal operating mode of the bark control collar. The system has been designed to maximize battery life. You can verify the status of the system by pressing and holding the Main Control Button for 2 seconds. The Sunbeam® Mini Bark Control Collar retains the LAST correction level setting and will resume this mode when the unit is turned on. The LED light will illuminate GREEN when a bark has been detected and a correction is being administered.
It is not recommended that you leave the bark control collar on your dog when you will not be present for extended periods of time. The bark control collar should be worn when you want to deter unwanted barking behavior. Consistently using the bark collar at the correct time will give the best results. The more disciplined you are when choosing to use the bark control collar the better your dog will understand that barking behavior is not wanted when wearing the collar.
