Fitting the Collar on Your Dog

CAUTION

Do not spray the device or collar with harsh chemicals including

but not limited to flea or tick spray. Always ensure that any flea

or tick spray that is applied to the dog is completely dry before

placing the collar on the dog. Small amounts of harsh chemicals

can damage the plastic components and collar laminate.

Before you can put the collar on the dog, you must pair the

handheld device and collar (Pairing a Dog Collar to the Astro

Device, page 4), and acquire satellite signals (Acquiring

Satellite Signals, page 2).

Position the collar with the VHF whip antenna pointing up, the

GPS antenna facing up, and the LEDs facing forward.

Place the collar around the middle of the dog's neck.

Tighten the strap so it is snug around the dog's neck.

NOTE: The collar should fit tightly and should not be able to

rotate or slide on the dog's neck. The dog must be able to

swallow food and water normally. You should observe your

dog's behavior to verify the collar is not too tight.

If the strap is too long, cut off the excess, leaving at least

7.62 cm (3 in.) to spare.
