But battery life can be reduced by several variables,
including lower temperatures, the number of times a
pet challenges the system boundary, and the fit of the
collar on the pet’s neck. In cold weather, for example,
it may be necessary to replace the battery more often.
Your Invisible Fence
®
professional should recommend
a schedule for regularly changing a receiver’s battery.
We recommend that you ask your Dealer about a bat-
tery replacement plan.
Note: Invisible Technologies, Inc.
recommends that a customer subscribe
to a battery replacement plan where fresh
Power Cap batteries are mailed directly to them
on a regular schedule.
Your Invisible Fence professional can
determine the best schedule for you.

receivers are water resistant,
they are not waterproof. In particularly humid cli-
mates or when a dog has access to creeks, pools, etc.,
water may get trapped in the battery compartment. A
small rubber O-ring around the battery cap will mini-
mize water invasion, but if you think that the battery
compartment is getting wet, take the battery out of the
Computer Collar receiver when your dog is not we a r-
ing the collar. This will allow the battery and the com-
partment to dry.
To re m ove an
old Power Cap
b at t e ry from a
Computer Collar
re c e ive r,
use a
small, thin coin in the
slot on top of the battery and turn it counter clock-
wise. The battery will rotate up and out of the battery
chamber. Never use a screwdriver to remove or tighten
the battery because you may strip the plastic head on
top of the battery.
Note: Remember, before you put in a
new Power Cap battery, you must wait
for a full five minutes so that the Computer
Collar receiver’s microprocessor has enough
time to recycle after the old battery has been
removed.
To install a new battery, line up the two lugs on
the bottom of the Power Cap with the two grooves in
the sides of the battery chamber. Gently put the Power
Cap into the chamber while turning it clockwise with
your fingers. Finally, use a small, thin coin in the slot
on the top of the battery to turn the battery clockwise
until the slot on the
top of the battery
is lined up with
the two small
raised tabs on
the bottom of the
receiver.
When the new Power Cap is in, wait 10 seconds
before taking the receiver into the signal field to give
the receiver time to recycle.
Failure to follow these directions exactly, may
result in the Computer Collar receiver not activating
properly. To maintain optimum performance, we rec-
ommend that you periodically test the battery.
Warning: The Power Cap battery case
is made of soft, protective material.
The use of unnecessary force may damage the
case and render the battery inoperable.
Warning: NEVER open a Power Cap,
dispose of it in fire, recharge it, heat it
above 212˚F(100˚C), or expose its contents to
water. Doing so can cause leakage or explosion
and may lead to personal injury.
Power Cap Battery Tester
We strongly recommend that each customer
obtain a Power Cap battery tester. At least once a
month, check the receiver battery with the Power Cap
battery tester to be sure that your pet will stay out of
areas that it is supposed to, and remain safely within
your Invisible Fence system.
The Power Cap
®
battery tester measures the inter-
nal resistance of a Power Cap battery and shows how
much life is left in the battery.
To test a receiver battery with the Power Cap bat-
tery tester, remove the battery from the receiver and
