• Wire on top of the ground may be a trip hazard. Be careful when placing wires and testing the system.
• This product is not a toy. Keep it away from the reach of children..
• Proper fit of the receiver collar is important. A receiver collar worn for too long or made too tight on the pet’s neck
may cause skin damage, ranging from redness to pressure ulcers; this condition is commonly known as bed sores.
• Avoid leaving the receiver collar on the pet for more than 12 hours per day.
• When possible reposition the receiver collar on the pet’s neck every 1 to 2 hours.
• Regularly recheck the fit to prevent excessive pressure; follow the instructions in this product manual.
• Never connect a lead to a collar with contact points. It will cause excessive pressure on the contact points.
• When connecting a lead to a separate collar, do not allow it to put pressure on the receiver collar.
• Wash the pet’s neck area and the contact points of the receiver collar weekly with a damp cloth.
• Examine the contact area daily for signs of a rash or a sore.
• If a rash or sore is found, discontinue use of the receiver collar until the skin has healed.
• If the condition persists beyond 48 hours, see your veterinarian.
• For additional information on bed sores and pressure necrosis, please visit our website.
• You may need to trim the hair in the area of the contact points. However, never shave the pet’s neck; this may lead
to a rash or infection.
• The boundary width of the system must be tested whenever an adjustment is made to the pet area to prevent
unintended stimulations to your pet.
• Always remove your pet’s receiver collar before performing any transmitter testing or adjustments. This will
prevent unintended static stimulations.
• If possible, do not use an outlet protected with a residual current device (RCD) or a ground fault circuit interrupter
(GFCI). The fence system will function, but in rare cases, nearby lightning strikes may cause the RCD or GFCI
to trip. Without power, your pet may be vulnerable to escape. You will have to reset the RCD or GFCI to restore
power to the system.
• Proper training of your pet is essential to successfully using the system. During the first 2 weeks of training, do not
use the system without direct supervision of your pet.
• Before you begin installing the boundary wire, unplug the fence transmitter.
• Avoid damaging the insulation of the loop wire; damage may cause areas of weak signal and lead to failure of
the boundary.
• You should expect hundreds of recharge cycles from your battery. However, do not charge your receiver collar
every night. Charging too often can reduce battery life. Charge your receiver collar when the receiver indicator light
blinks red.
• Use care when mowing or trimming your grass not to cut the boundary wire.
• To protect the transmitter, disconnect the boundary wire and unplug the power adaptor from the outlet when the
system will not be used for long periods of time or prior to thunderstorms. This will prevent power surges from
damaging the transmitter.
