How long does the battery last and is it
expensive to replace?
WARNING:
THE BATTERIES THAT ARE
USED IN THIS SYSTEM ARE NOT MEANT
TO BE A DIRECT REPLACEMENT FOR AA
ALKALINE/NIMH BATTERIES IN OTHER
CONSUMER DEVICES. THESE LITHIUM
ION BATTERIES OPERATE AT MORE THAN
TWICE THE VOLTAGE OF AN ALKALINE
BATTERY AND 3 TIMES THE VOLTAGE
OF A NIMH CELL AND MAY DAMAGE OR
DESTROY YOUR DEVICE WHICH OPER-
ATES ON STANDARD AA BATTERIES. DO
NOT USE PRIMARY/DISPOSALABLE BAT-
TERIES IN THE WIRE-FREE SYSTEM. USE
MANUFACTURER APPROVED RECHAR-
GABLE CELLS ONLY!
The rechargeable 3.6v lithium ion battery
should take 300 recharge cycles. Even
with frequent weekly charging the battery
will last years. For optimal battery life,
it is recommended to only charge the
collar battery when alerted to do so by
the indoor SmartStation
™
. This consumer
replaceable battery is inexpensive and
readily available.
Will my dog continue to be shocked when
outside of the safe area?
No. When exceeding the boundary area
that you set, the PetLink
™
collar will sound
a one second warning tone, followed by
fi ve seconds of stimulation at the level
you have set from the SmartStation
™
. This
is followed by another fi ve seconds of
warning tone. This sequence is repeated
two times until the dog returns to the safe
area. Should your dog stay out of the safe
area the tone only will continue to sound.
