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.

hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in harm to

your pet.

NOTICE is used to address safe use practices not related to

personal injury.

• Not for use with aggressive dogs. Do not use this product if your

dog is prone to aggressive behavior. Aggressive dogs can cause

severe injury or death to their owners and others. If you are not

sure that this product is right for your dog, please talk to your

veterinarian or a certified trainer.

• Underground cables can carry high voltage. Have all underground

cables marked before you dig to bury your wire. In most areas this

is a free service. Avoid these cables when you dig.

• Follow all safety instructions for your power tools. Be sure to

always wear your safety goggles.

• 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.

• Risk of electric shock. Use the Fence Transmitter and Surge

Protector indoors in dry location only.

• Turn off power to outlet before you install or remove your

Surge Protector.

• Risk of electrical shock or fire. Use Surge Protector only

with a duplex outlet with center screw. Attach unit with long

screw supplied.

• Risk of injury. Wire on top of the ground may be a trip hazard;

Use care in how you place your wires.

• Do not install the Surge Protector if there is not at least 30 feet

(10 meters) or more of wire between the electrical outlet and

electrical service panel.
