Invisible Fence
®
pet containment will not work
unless:
1. The 12vAC transformer is plugged into the
transmitter and is plugged into a 110vAC outlet.
2. The transmitter is on, connected to the signal
field wire, and producing a signal along the wire.
3. The signal field wire is intact, continuous, and
the transmitter’s green LED is blinking on and off.
4. The Computer Collar
®
is correctly fitted and
worn by your pet.
The Computer Collar is adjusted so that the
receiver posts are touching your pet’s skin.
5. The Power Cap
®
battery in the receiver is good
and is correctly installed.
6. You train your pet as prescribed in Invisible
Fence training manuals.
Do Not become overly confident that your pet
has become conditioned to the Invisible Fence system
sooner than expected. Complete all of the training
steps before allowing your pet to run free.
If you have any questions about any aspect of
your Invisible Fence system, please call your Invisible
Fence professional immediately.
About Thunder or Electrical Storms
Even though your Invisible Fence system is
equipped with lightning surge protection, it is still
possible that it may be damaged during a thunder
storm, or when an electrical storm is in the area
where you live. For added peace of mind, you may
want to take the Computer Collar off your pet
before an electrical storm.
· Check Your Pet’s Safe Areas
After a storm has ended, check all of your pet’s
safe areas before you put the Computer Collar back
on him. Use the following procedure to make sure
that your system is continuing to work properly.
Hold the Computer Collar collar so that the
receiver is at about the same height and on the
same angle that it is when your pet is wearing it,
and move throughout his safe areas. This should
include all of the safe areas where your pet is
allowed to go, in your yard and in your home.
If the receiver sounds a warning when it is in a
safe area, DO NOT put the Computer Collar back
on your pet. Immediately call your local Invisible
Fence professional for service.
Use a leash or other means to contain your pet
until after the service has been completed.
· At Least Once a Month, and After a Thunder
Storm, Check the Width of Your Invisible Fence
System’s Signal Field
Always keep a note of the width of your
system’s signal field.
You only have to check the width of the signal
field from one place on the signal field loop wire.
Always check the signal field from the same place.
Take the Computer Collar off your pet. Follow
the instructions for checking the width of the signal
field on page 6.
If the receiver does not sound a warning where
the edge of the signal is supposed to be, or if it onl y
sounds a warning when it is closer to the wire than
the setting of the signal field, immediately call your
Invisible Fence professional for service.
Use a leash or other means to contain your pet
until all necessary service has been completed.
