distance your dog has to properly react to the system. However, if space
limitations require a field width of less than 5 feet. You can reduce the
overall field width by turning the Field Width dial counter-clockwise.
When you vary the effective field width of your system, the HC-8000’s
unique Pulsed Proportional Stimulus System will automatically adjust to
the new field strength setting.
Power Boost Switch
This feature boosts the output power of your transmitter for very large
areas or to overcome special environmental conditions. We recommend
that you use the TX-1 in “NOR” (normal) mode for wire lengths less than
2,000 feet. If you are using more than 2,000 feet of wire you may find
the “MAX” mode useful in increasing the maximum possible field width.
In some cases, rare environmental conditions such as a high content of
iron in your soil may reduce your field width. If you find your system
does not achieve acceptable field width in your particular installation,
using the “MAX” setting, even for smaller areas, may overcome the
problem.
Quick Connect Wire Terminals
At the bottom of the Base Station Transmitter you will find a hinged
door which gives you access to two quick connect wire terminals. The
boundary wire easily plugs into these terminals by simply depressing the
tab and inserting the wire end. The wire should be stripped by ¼ inch at
the end before insertion. No other preparation is required.
Optional Rechargeable Back-up Battery
An optional, rechargeable Back-up battery is available as an additional
purchase. Use of the Back-up Battery will ensure that your HC-8000
system continues to contain your dog during a power outage. When
power is restored, the system will automatically recharge the battery, so
you never have to worry about changing batteries. The Back-up Battery
option is available from

. If you choose not to purchase the Back-up
Battery option your system will work perfectly with the AC adapter as
long as you have uninterrupted household wall current available.
