DogWatch recommends that you remove the collar at night while your pet is inside.

Digital FM Design:
Our patented FM design allows the DogWatch receiver
to recognize and activate only to our unique radio signal. This protects your pet from
unintentional correction caused by stray radio signals which may be emitted by other
electronic devices.
Automatic Shutdown:
The DogWatch system is designed to protect your dog from an
over-correction in the unlikely event that your dog gets caught in the signal field. If your
dog does not exit the signal field, the receiver will automatically stop correcting after 15
seconds – protecting your dog from over-correction. The receiver will automatically
reset once the dog leaves the signal field.
CollarBone:
The CollarBone, metal lock washers and contact posts fasten the receiv-
er to the nylon collar. The plastic “collar bone” is designed to fit two collar thicknesses.
For single-ply collars, mount the recessed holes of the CollarBone against the collar
strap and for double-ply collars, place the flat side of the CollarBone against the collar
strap. See above illustration.
Contact Posts
: The receiver comes with a set of contact posts. Your DogWatch Dealer
will determine the correct set based on your dog’s neck shape, coat, and skin sensitiv-
ity. The posts must make contact with the skin in order for the dog to feel the correc-
tion. In certain cases, your dealer may recommend clipping some of the hair around the
contact posts so that they can touch the skin more easily. Use care if you find it nec-
essary to tighten the contact posts with the collar wrench,
as over-tightening could cause damage to the receiver.
Antenna:
The receiver’s omni-directional antenna design
assures optimal reception from the signal field.
Test Light
: The test light allows you to test the receiver. Hold
the test light over the contact posts as shown in
Figure 3
and
carry the receiver into the signal field a few feet from the
ground. When the receiver picks up the signal from the
boundary wire, the audible warning will sound and the test light
will come on when you enter the correction zone.
