Status Light:
The status light in the R7 and R8 receivers
provides the following features:
•
Start-Up:
When you first insert the battery into your receiver, the
status light will flash. This indicates that the receiver has
started properly. In the event that the lights do not flash,
check the battery to be sure that it has been inserted
properly (see Page 4).
•
Correction Level Indicator
When programming the correction level of your receiver,
the status light will flash green (in conjunction with the
audible beeps) the number of flashes will equal the
correction level you have chosen.
•
Signal Field Indicator
When testing the receiver in the signal field the status
light will flash green when the receiver is in the audible
zone and will flash green and red when the receiver is
in the correction zone.
•
Battery Replacement Reminder
The status light will flash red approximately every 10 seconds prior to the end of the
battery life to remind you to change the battery. Be sure to change your battery every
6 months (R7) or two years (R8) . Each time you change your battery it is important
to reset the “Battery Reminder” feature.
RESETTING THE BATTERY REMINDER FEATURE
1.
Remove the old battery.
2.
Using your test light, hold the magnet in the programming position (without a
battery in the receiver) for 30 seconds to fully discharge the unit. If you have
misplaced the test light, let the receiver sit for 5 minutes without a battery.

Insert a
new
battery. The Battery Reminder feature is now automatically
reset for 6 months for the R7 or 24 months for the R8 receiver
See page 4 for proper battery insertion.
FastReact
™
Time
The DogWatch R7 and R8 receivers offer the fastest reaction time available in a pet
containment receiver. Whether your dog, strolls, runs or sprints into the Avoidance
Zone, the DogWatch receiver will react - and correct - within .125 (1/8) seconds.
User Programmable:
When you combine the transmitter “Rate” and the receiver train-
ing levels, you can customize the receiver to one of 12 training settings, as outlined in
the chart on page 8.
For example:
If the receiver is on Level 1 and the Transmitter Rate
is on Level 1, your dog is receiving the lowest level of correction and the least number
of pulses per second.
Setting The Transmitter:
The Transmitter Rate switch adjusts to three settings:
(1 – slow, 2 – medium, 3 – fast). When your dog gets a correction, he receives it in a series
of pulses per second. Increasing the rate means that he will receive a greater number of
pulses per second. Rate 1 is the slowest pulse rate per second; 3 is the fastest.
