A correct fit of the receiver collar is important. A receiver collar worn for too long or made too tight on your pet's neck
may cause skin damage, ranging from redness to pressure ulcers. This condition is commonly known as bed sores.
• Avoid leaving the receiver collar on your pet for more than 12 hours per day.
• When possible, re-position the collar on your pet's neck every 1 to 2 hours.
• Check the fit to prevent excessive pressure; follow the instructions in this product manual.
• Regularly re-check the fit to prevent excessive pressure; follow the instructions in this product manual.
• You may need to trim your pet's hair in the area of the contact points. Never shave your pet's neck; this may lead to a
rash or infection.
• Never connect a leash to a collar with contact points. It will cause excessive pressure on the contact points.
• When using a separate collar for a leash, do not put pressure on the receiver collar.
• Wash your pet's neck area and the contact points of the receiver 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 receiver collar until the skin has healed.
• If the condition persists for over 48 hours, see your veterinary surgeon.
• For additional information on bed sores and pressure necrosis, please visit our website.
• Correct training of your pet is essential to successfully use the system. During the first 2 weeks of training, do not use
the system without directly supervising your pet.
• The receiver collar should not be on your pet when the system is tested. If it is, your pet may receive unintended
stimulation.
• The boundary zone must be tested whenever an adjustment is made to the transmitter setting to prevent unintended
stimulation of your pet.
• To prevent unintended stimulation, after the boundary flags have been placed, be sure to set the static stimulation on
the receiver collar back to level 1, which is tone only.
• To prevent unintended stimulation, remove the receiver collar from your pet when indoors.
• Never disconnect power from the system when the collar is on your pet. This may activate the receiver collar.
• Radio Systems Corporation recommends the use of an Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) with your wireless fence.
Should the power go off at your home, your pet will be unprotected. Power outages can be unpredictable, and the
use of a UPS will give you time to correctly restrain your pet.
In rare instances, if your pet is near the boundary at the time when the power fails, it is possible that he will receive
stimulation. This stimulation will stop after a 15-second time-out 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:
• With a 400-VA UPS a consumer should expect 3 hours of back-up time.
• With a 900-VA UPS a consumer should expect 8 hours of back-up time.
• To prevent unintended stimulation, after the boundary flags have been placed, be sure to set the static stimulation on
the receiver collar back to level 1, which is tone only.
• You should expect hundreds of recharge cycles from your battery; however, do not charge your receiver collar every
night. Excessive charging can shorten battery life.
• Charge your receiver collar when the receiver indicator light blinks yellow; or when the light blinks red.
• Do not place anything on the top of the transmitter or cover any ventilation holes. This may overheat the transmitter
and cause early transmission failure.
• Do not place the transmitter in a closet or in any other confined un-ventilated area.
• Do not place the transmitter on or near a metal surface.
