Anti-Linger Prevention

The Anti-Linger Prevention feature keeps your dog from staying in the Warning Zone for long periods of time and

draining the Receiver Collar battery. Your dog will hear a warning tone when he reaches the Warning Zone. If your

dog does not return to the Pet Area after two seconds, he will receive a continuous Static Correction until he returns

to the Pet Area.

Run Through Prevention

This system includes a unique “run-through” prevention so that your dog cannot escape the Pet Area without

receiving an increased level of Static Correction. The Receiver Collar automatically increases the Static Correction

when your dog continues more than 20% of the way through the pet fencing Boundary Width. For example, if the

signal is detected 10 feet from the wire and your dog enters the Static Correction Zone, this feature is activated

when he is approximately 8 feet from the Boundary Wire. Your dog will then receive a Static Correction that is

at an increased level corresponding to the Static Correction level setting on the Receiver Collar. The Receiver

Collar is equipped to automatically increase the level of Static Correction the longer your pet remains in the Static

Correction Zone if the collar is set at level 2 or above. The Run Through Prevention sound is an intermittent tone.

Over Correction Protection

In the unlikely event that your pet “freezes” in the Static Correction Zone, this feature limits the static correction

duration to a maximum of 30 seconds. While the system locks out further static correction, the warning tone will

continue until the pet leaves the Static Correction Zone.
