SECTION 2.
THE COLLAR RECEIVER

The collar receiver is waterproof, rechargeable, and can
be mounted on any non-metal strap. The probes are
available in long and short lengths to be used on long-
haired and shorthaired dogs, respectively.

Note: The collar receiver is always on and ready to
respond to the containment field when the battery is
properly charged.

A.Special Features to Increase the Effectiveness of
the System

1.The Warning Tone - With the STIM LEVEL switch
set to LOW or MED your dog will hear a two second
warning tone when he reaches the edge of the contain-
ment field in the yard.If your dog does not return to the
safe part of the yard, he will receive a continuous cor-
rection (at the Low or Medium correction level switch
setting) until he re-enters the safe part of the yard.
Note: If the STIM LEVEL switch is set on HIGH, there
will be no warning tone prior to the correction.

2. Run-Through Prevention - Special features are
incorporated in the IF-100 system so your dog cannot
"run-through" the containment field without activating a
strong correction. The receiver automatically increases
the correction when your dog continues more than 1/3
of the way through the containment field, regardless of
the transmitter correction level setting. For example, if
the signal is detected 12 feet from the wire and your dog
enters the containment field, this feature is activated
when he is approximately eight feet from the wire. At
this point, your dog automatically receives the highest
level of correction for a minimum of three seconds.

3.Over-Correction Prevention - In the unlikely event
that your dog becomes "trapped" in the containment
field, this feature limits correction duration to 10 sec-
onds. The system shuts off for 10 seconds before
resuming correction for another 10 seconds. This pat-
tern will repeat for a maximum of three cycles, a dura-
tion of 60-seconds.

The light on the collar receiver will pulsate red when
correction is delivered, appear solid green when cor-
rection is loc ked out, and flash yellow if the 60-second
period has expired and the dog remains in the contain-
ment field.

B.Receiver Indicator Lights

The receiver includes an indicator light and a tone gen-

erator that allow the user to distinguish the various
operational conditions of the receiver. These conditions
are summarized in the following table:

SECTION 3.
THE LIGHTNING PROTECTOR

Your system includes a lightning protection unit, which
helps protect the transmitter from electrical powe r
surges and lightning strikes near your boundary loop. A
nearby lightning strike can induce damaging high volt-
age on the boundary wire loop and electrical power
lines, which can damage an unprotected containment
transmitter. The lightning protector protects your sys-
tem in two ways. Lower level voltage spikes from near-
by lighting strikes and power line surges are sup-
pressed to a level that will not damage your transmitter.
Severe lightning strikes may result in damage to the
Lightning Protector, which is designed to be a sacrificial
link in the system.

Your transmitter will remain

u n h a rmed and your Lightning Protector can be
replaced under the terms of the Lightning Protector life-
time warranty (see Limited Warranty Section pg. 22).
System components which are not properly protected
by the supplied Lightning Protector will not be covered
for lightning damage under the warranty (see Limited
Warranty Section pg 22).Your Lightning Protector has a
green power light that indicates the unit is receiving
household power.

Note that this Lightning Protector is specifically designed for electronic dog
containment systems and will not protect other kinds of equipment against
lightning damage or AC surges.
