Important Precautions
• Invisible Fence® Brand pet containment systems have contained over three million pets.
However, there are some precautions you should take.
• Read and retain manuals: Read the entire Owner’s Manual before using your new Shields
Gate solution. If you have any questions after reading this manual, call your local Invisible
Fence dealer.
• Adhere to all warnings and cautions contained in any Invisible Fence manual.
Explanation of Attention Words and Symbols used in this guide
This is the safety alert symbol. It is used to alert you to potential personal
injury hazards. Obey all safety messages that follow this symbol to avoid
possible injury or death.
WARNING indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in
death or serious injury.
CAUTION used with the safety alert symbol, indicates a hazardous situation
which, if not avoided, could result in minor or moderate injury.
NOTICE is used to address safe use practices not related to personal injury.
• Not every pet can be trained to avoid the established boundary. Sometimes even a properly
trained pet may cross the boundary. Therefore, Radio Systems Corporation™, as well as
Invisible Fence Distributors and Dealers cannot guarantee the system will, in all cases, keep
a customer’s pet from entering or accessing protected areas. Accordingly, if a customer has
reason to believe that their pet may pose a danger to others, or harm itself, the customer
should not rely solely upon the Invisible Fence system to keep the pet from crossing the
boundary.
• Do not install, connect, or remove your system during a lightning storm. If the storm is close
enough for you to hear thunder, it is close enough to create hazardous surges.
