Performance Series R7 and R8 Receivers
The lightweight radio receiver worn by the dog identifies the coded FM radio signal
from the boundary wire. It creates an audible warning followed by stimulation if he
comes too close to the boundary wire. It operates on a replaceable battery and is
waterproof when the battery cap is securely fastened.
Battery Insertion Instructions
Important: You must reset the “Battery Reminder” Feature when you change the
battery. See “Battery Replacement Reminder” on page 6.
R7 Battery
: The Performance Series receiver is powered by a 3 volt 1/3 N lithium bat-
tery. The receiver is designed for a 6 month battery life.

R7 and R8 Receiver Features
Adjustable Collar
: Both the R7 and R8 receivers come fitted to an adjustable nylon col-
lar. The collar should be positioned above the dog’s regular collar
.
The collar should be
adjusted to insure that the contact posts touch the skin on the dog’s neck.
Check the fit
for the first few days of wear to insure that the collar is not too tight or causing irritation
to your pet’s neck.
