Important Precautions
1. Read and retain manual.
Read the entire Owner’s Manual before using your Shields
®
indoor avoidance system. If you
have any questions after reading this manual, call your Invisible Fence
®
Brand Dealer.
Dealer Name: _______________________
Dealer Phone: _______________________
2. Train your pet according to the instructions contained in this manual. Do not become overly confident your pet has
become conditioned to the Shields
®
system sooner than expected.
3. Adhere to all cautions and warnings contained in any Invisible Fence
®
Brand manual.
4. Never perform set-up procedures while the Titanium Computer Collar
®
unit is on your pet.
5. All Invisible Fence
®
Brand products are designed for pet use only. Never attempt to use this product for any purpose not
specifically described in this manual.
6. Check the tightness of the Titanium Computer Collar
®
on a regular basis. Remove your pet’s Titanium Computer Collar
®
each night. This will prevent the possibility of any irritation the collar may cause to your pet’s skin. However, if this is not
possible, please check the tightness of the collar each time you feed your pet by removing the collar and then replacing
it back on your pet. A condition called Pressure Necrosis, which is a devitalization of the skin due to excessive and
prolonged contact against the Contact Points, may occur if the steps above are not followed.
7. Do not attempt to service any Invisible Fence
®
Brand equipment. Refer all service to your authorized Invisible Fence
®
Brand Dealer only. Unauthorized service or repair will void the warranty.
NOTE: The rechargeable battery inside the Shields
®
transmitter is designed to last approximately 30 days when the transmitter is
producing a maximum signal field (6 ft./1.8 m radius). The low battery light will begin flashing when it is time to recharge the battery.
A Shields
®
transmitter producing a signal field less than the maximum setting will get a substantially longer battery life.
