R7m and R9 Receiver Features
AutoMemory
™
When the receiver is set to one of the AutoMemory levels, our patented
AutoMemory feature automatically adjusts the correction level of the receiver when your
pet challenges the boundary by entering the avoidance zone. When this happens, the
receiver will automatically advance the correction level setting by one level. If the dog does
not enter the signal field again in the next 24-hour period, the receiver defaults to the
original setting. The AutoMemory feature operates when your Receiver Training Level is
set to 4, 5, or 6.
Status Light
■
Start-Up
When you first insert the battery into your receiver, the status light will flash
red and green. This indicates that the receiver has started properly. Once started, the
status light will continue to flash green once every 30 seconds indicating normal
operation. In the event that the light does not flash, check the battery to be sure that it
has been inserted properly.
■
Training Level Indicator
When programming the training level of your receiver, the
status light will flash green in conjunction with audible beeps. The number of flashes
will equal the training level you have chosen.
■
Signal Field Indicator
When testing the receiver in the signal field the status light will
flash green when the receiver is in the audible zone and will flash green and red when
the receiver is in the correction zone.
■
Correction Alert
You will be able to tell if your pet has tested the boundary by looking
at the status light. The status light will double flash green every 30 seconds during the
24-hour period after the dog has entered the boundary area.
■
Battery Indicator
This feature monitors the voltage level of the battery. Once the
receiver detects that the battery has reached a low voltage level, the status light will
change from the normal blinking “green” every 30 seconds to blinking “red” every 10
seconds. This indicates that your battery is close to the end of its useful life and you
should change the battery within the next 3-4 days.
SETTING THE RECEIVER
Receiver Training Levels
Your receiver provides eight training levels that allow you to
customize the training setting to your dog’s individual needs: Audible Only, Level 1 (extra
low), Level 2 (low), Level 3 (low medium), Level 4 (medium), Level 5 (medium high), Level 6
(high), and Level 7 (extra high). When the receiver is first shipped from the manufacturer, it
will automatically be set to Training Level 2 (low).
Changing the Receiver Settings
If you need to change the Training Level on the receiver,
hold your test light magnet to the marked area on the side of the receiver. Hold the magnet
steady and you will hear a series of beeps that indicate the current training level. The
“Audible Only” level is one long beep, Level 1 is one short beep, Level 2 is two short
beeps, Level 3 is three short beeps, etc. The Training Level will continue to advance while
the magnet is held in position. When you reach the desired setting, pull the magnet away
from the receiver. The receiver is now set.
