Important Precautions
• Invisible Fence
®
Brand pet containment systems have contained over two million pets. However, there are some
precautions you should take.
• Read and retain manuals: Read the entire Owner’s Manual before using your new Invisible Fence
®
Brand pet containment
system.
• Adhere to all warnings and cautions contained in any Invisible Fence
®
Brand manual.
WARNING indicates a hazardous situation, which, if not avoided, could result in death or serious
injury.
CAUTION used without the safety alert symbol, indicates a 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.
• Never open a Power Cap
®
, dispose of it in a fire, recharge it, expose it to heat above 212º F (100º C), or expose its contents
to water. Doing so can cause leakage or explosion and may lead to personal injury.
• Not every pet can be trained to avoid the established boundary. Sometimes even a properly trained pet may cross the
boundary. Therefore, Invisible Fence
®
, Inc., as well as Invisible Fence
®
Distributors and Dealers, cannot guarantee the
system will, in all cases, keep a customer’s pet within the established boundary. Accordingly, if a customer has reason to
believe that their pet may pose a danger to others, or harm itself, the customer should not rely solely upon the Invisible
Fence
®
Brand pet containment system to keep the pet from crossing the boundary.
• 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.
Read and follow the important instructions on how to avoid pressure necrosis. Proper fit of the Computer Collar
®
is
important. A Computer 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 bedsores.
The following tips will help keep your pet safe and comfortable. Millions of pets are comfortable while they wear stainless
steel posts. Some pets are sensitive to contact pressure. You may find after some time that your pet is very tolerant of the
Computer Collar
®
. If so, you may relax some of these precautions. It is important to continue daily checks of the contact
area. If redness or sores are found, discontinue use until the skin has fully healed.
• Avoid leaving the Computer Collar
®
on the pet for more than 12 hours per day.
• When possible, reposition the Computer Collar
®
on the pet’s neck every 1 to 2 hours.
• Check the fit to prevent excessive pressure; follow the instructions in this manual.
• Never connect a leash to the Computer Collar
®
; it will cause excessive pressure on the contacts.
• When using a separate collar for a leash, don’t put pressure on the Computer Collar
®
.
• Wash the pet’s neck area and the contacts of the Computer 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 Computer Collar
®
until the skin is healed.
• If the condition persists beyond 48 hours, see your veterinarian.
You may need to trim the hair in the area of the Correction Posts or switch to the longer Correction Posts to ensure
consistent contact. Never shave the pet’s neck; this may lead to a rash or infection.
