Innotek Help
I thought my remote just needed new batteries, turns out the remote isn't working. Anyone else ever have this problem? I will never buy innotek again, but I don't feel like spending the money on a new one now. I have only had it for like 10 months.
Re: Innotek Help
What model do you have. If you have the model 16000, sorry for your luck. I have had one 16000 crap out, and a new one that might go any day. The thing about innotek is that the collars are really nice and compatible with almost all innotek transmitters. If you can find an older 1600 transmitter, you can use your newer command collars with them to save money. I also have a 1600 model that is 8+ yrs old that is still working great. I have added new beeper collars from my 16000 model that went down. Also, since Sport Dog bought out Innotek, I have heard on the Forum that you can trade in inoperative Innotek collars for new Sport Dog units through the factory.

Re: Innotek Help
Do I just call the factory and tell them I want to trade it in for a sportdog?

Re: Innotek Help
There's a reason they're called "Innojunk". It should be covered under full warranty at the factory. Send it back. Better buy a second one; you'll have one on the road for repairs all the time.

Re: Innotek Help
Lots of folks seem to have bad luck with Inotek, not me. I have had an 800 command series for eight or nine years never a problem. I have lost the backs and covers a couple times and have forgotten how to reset the units, but each time I call them and they immediatel sent out the parts no charge and walk me through the resets. Pretty decent to deal with so far. I have the launchers and two collars and no issue other than me.

Re: Innotek Help
what's the warranty on it? I assume if you've only had it for 10 months your first move should be to call them and find out about getting it repaired under warranty
Re: Innotek Help
I called and they are sending me a new remote. I asked about switching to sportdog, they said I would have to contact sportdog. I guess they are affiliated, but they dont opperate together. Surprisingly though they are mailing me a new remote w/o any questions asked. Thanks
