How the SCOUTBARK100 works
Motorola's SCOUTBARK100 is a quick, easy and fair way to reduce excessive
barking behavior. Through Motorola's unique bark detection technology, your
dog is allowed five seconds of free barking time after which a warning beep and
vibration will trigger. Should your dog continue to bark, the Pet Collar Unit will
administer a brief level of static correction that you have selected. Choose from
nine levels, from very gentle to firm to match your dog's personality. If your dog
is quiet for two minutes, once again it is offered five more seconds of "free"
barking followed by a warning beep and vibration prior to any static correction.
Our goal is to limit excessive barking, not to attempt to eliminate or suppress all
barking.
Important guidelines when using the SCOUTBARK100
• Included in your SCOUTBARK100 are Metal Contacts in three different
lengths (short, medium and long) that deliver static correction to your dog.
Choose the appropriate length for your dog's hair coat. The
SCOUTBARK100 was shipped with medium Metal Contacts that are suitable
for dogs with medium hair coats. If your dog has dense coat or undercoat,
use one of the longer Metal Contacts included with the product.
• Proper fit is critical to the performance and effectiveness of the
SCOUTBARK100. If the fit is too loose, the Pet Collar Unit will not be able to
get sufficient contact with the skin to detect barking and deliver static
correction. If the fit is too tight, it will irritate your dog's skin.
• Tighten the Pet Collar Unit high on your dog's neck, tight enough that you
can get two fingers between the collar strap and your dog. It should not be
able to rotate around the neck.
• Do not make your dog wear the Pet Collar Unit for more than 12 hours
continuously to avoid skin irritation.
• Do not connect a leash to the Pet Collar Unit as this might pull the Metal
Contacts too tight against your dog's neck.
• When connecting a separate collar for the leash, make sure that it does not
add pressure on the Pet Collar Unit.
• Check the contact area on your dog's neck for signs of irritation. If there is a
rash or sore, discontinue use until the skin is completely healed. See a
veterinarian if the condition persists.
