These steps will help keep your pet secure and comfortable. Millions of pets are comfortable while they
wear stainless steel contacts. Some pets are sensitive to contact pressure. You may find after some
time that your pet is very tolerant of the 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.
• You may need to trim the hair in the area of the Contact Points. Never shave your pet’s neck;
this may lead to a rash or infection.
• Always remove your pet’s Receiver Collar before performing any Transmitter testing.
• The Receiver Collar should not be on your pet when the system is tested. Your pet may
receive an unintended correction.
• The Boundary Zone must be tested whenever an adjustment is made to the Transmitter setting to prevent
unintended corrections to your pet.
• If you use a collar and leash for training, be sure the extra collar does not put pressure
on the contact points.
• To prevent an unintended correction, remove the Receiver Collar from your pet when indoors.
• Never remove power from the system when the collar is on the pet. This may activate
the Receiver Collar.

Corporation recommends the use of an Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) for
use with your wireless fence. Should the power go out at your home, your pet will be unprotected.
Power outages can be unpredictable, and the use of a UPS will provide you with some time to properly
restrain your pet.
In rare instances, if your pet is near the boundary at the time when the power fails, it is possible
that your pet will receive a correction. This correction will stop after a 15 second timeout period has
been reached. This is due to the operation of the collar: the collar is activated by the absence of the
containment signal.
While results will vary depending on the UPS manufacturer’s specifications the following are typical
examples to guide your choice of UPS:
• Using a 400 VA UPS a consumer should expect 3 hours of backup time.
• Using a 900 VA UPS a consumer could expect 8 hours of backup time.
If settings below maximum fence size are used, additional backup time will result. At minimum
fence size settings backup time may be more than two times the backup time estimated at
maximum fence size.
• To prevent an unintended correction, after the Boundary Flags have been placed, be sure to set the
Static Correction on the Receiver Collar back to level 1 tone only.
• Do not place anything on the top of the Transmitter or cover any ventilation holes. This may overheat the
Transmitter and cause early transmit failure.
• Do not place Transmitter in a closet or any other confined, unventilated area.
• Do not place Transmitter on a metal surface.
