Activation Distance “Zones”
Around the Boundary Wire are two signal zones, as illustrated below. The Activation
Distance is the start of the Outer Zone. In the Outer Zone, the Radio Collar emits a warning
sound for 3 seconds before giving a correction, so your dog has time to back away. If your
dog enters the Inner Zone, the correction starts immediately. After 7 seconds of correction,
a cut-out will stop further correction, but the
warning sound will continue. When your dog
moves away from the zones the warning and
correction ceases. After a further 5 seconds
the collar will once again be ready to activate.
Status Light
The Status Light is a multi-colour light that tells you
information about the collar’s operating
state. It flashes with a colour every 2 seconds (no sound) with meanings as follows:
GREEN
Normal operation. No issues.
RED
Battery is low. Time to recharge.
YELLOW
Collar is in Training Mode. Will not generate Correction.
BLUE
Your dog felt nothing during the last correction. Check fit & trim fur.
WHITE
The Recharge Adapter is connected and charging the battery.
BLUE Status
Your dog was corrected but nothing past through
your dog’s skin. Your dog felt nothing.
This is a serious problem. Rectify Immediately!
Perform all the following checks:
1.
Trim the fur behind the Radio Collar so the
Correction Probes make good physical
contact with your dog’s neck skin. Do this even if you think your dog has short fur!
2.
Ensure the collar is not loose. Adjust to a comfort fit. You should be able to insert two
fingers under the collar without it feeling too loose or too tight.
3.
Test the collar voltage emitted from the Correction Probes:
a.
Set Correction to MAX.
b.
Firmly hold the Collar Tester against the two Correction Probes (see above).
c.
Take the Radio Collar within 30cm of the Boundary Wire.
d.
The tester should flash for about 5 seconds.
If it doesn’t, contact Sureguard.
