Invisible Fence® Brand Titanium Computer Collar® Unit Worn by your pet, the Titanium Computer Collar® unit detects areas you have shielded and administers a “correction”. NOTE: A correction is a training term used to describe an action taken to discourage unwanted pet behavior. The Computer Collar® unit applies a correction when your pet enters a shielded area or crosses the boundary of an Invisible Fence® Brand pet containment system. Corrections are used in combination with rewards to alter unwanted pet behavior. AC Adapter This is included for long-term use, or as a charger for the rechargeable battery pack.

It is designed to work independently, or to complement your Invisible Fence® Brand 800 Series outdoor pet containment system. Benefits of the Shields™ system include: Flexibility: Uses the same Invisible Fence® Brand Titanium Computer Collar® unit for both indoor avoidance and outdoor pet containment Portability: Shields™ is powered by a rechargeable battery pack. It can be placed virtually anywhere, on chairs, under tables, by the trash, etc. (An AC adapter is included with every Shields™ system). Adjustable: The Shields™ system allows you to control the width of the signal field range with the touch of a button. The signal field is the area around the Shields™ transmitter you want your pet to avoid. The signal field range can be set to a minimum diameter of 2 feet up to a maximum diameter of 12 feet. Customization: The Multi-Area shielding option allows you to choose/change different shielded areas for different pets.

Never attempt to use this product for any purpose not specifically described in this manual. Check the tightness of the Titanium Computer Collar® unit on a regular basis: When possible, remove your pet’s Titanium Computer Collar® unit each night.

Fitting the Titanium Computer Collar® unit on your pet Move your pet away from the shielded area. Place the Computer Collar® unit on your pet. The collar should be snug, yet loose enough to allow one finger to fit between your pet’s neck and the correction posts. You are now ready to begin your pet’s first training session. a. b. c. d. Training Your Pet For pets new to the Invisible Fence® Brand products: For pets trained to the Invisible Fence® Brand outdoor pet containment system: • Use Invisible Fence® Brand training flags attached to vegetable cans to mark the outside of the signal field range. • This gives your pet a visual marker, similar to how they learned the Invisible Boundary® wall of the outdoor pet containment system. • Allow your pet to enter the shielded area on it’s own. By already being familiar with the training flags, and the warning tone, your pet should react immediately, and back-up/move away from the shielded area. It may take several times for your pet to recognize and avoid the shielded area. • Be sure to praise your pet for leaving the shielded area. • You may need to adjust the signal field range so your pet receives the warning sooner. • Use Invisible Fence® Brand training flags attached to unopened vegetable cans to mark the edge of the signal field range. This gives your pet a visual marker. • Use Invisible Fence® Brand post covers on the Titanium Computer Collar® unit for the first training session. This will introduce your pet to the idea of leaving the shielded area when he hears the warning tone. • Put a long lead on your pet and show your pet how to avoid the shielded area by gently guiding the pet out of the range when the warning tone sounds. • Be sure to praise your pet for leaving the shielded area. • Repeat this process until your pet reacts to the warning beep on it’s own. • Remove the post covers on the Titanium Computer Collar® unit. Allow your pet to enter the shielded area on it’s own. Your pet should react immediately to the warning beep and correction, and backup/move away from the shielded area. It may take several times for your pet to recognize and avoid the shielded area. NOTE If you find your pet is confused or unsure how to avoid the correction, it may be useful to put a long lead on your pet and show him how to avoid the shielded area by gently guiding him out of range. Rev 0.2 Draft Multi-Area Shielding Your Shields™ transmitter and the Titanium Computer Collar® unit are preset to operate on Channel 1 (CH.1). For homes with two or more pets, this setting is usually sufficient, as long as all pets are required to avoid the same shielded areas, like keeping all pets out of the kitchen, away from the trash, off the sofa, etc. In some multi-pet homes, it may be desired to allow one pet access to an area while denying access to another. When set to Channel 1 (CH.1), Shields™ denies access to pets wearing a Titanium Computer Collar® unit programmed to Channel 1. When set to Channel 2 (CH.2), Shields™ denies access to pets wearing a Titanium Computer Collar® unit programmed to Channel 2. When set to Channel 1 (CH.1) and Channel 2 (CH.2), Shields™ denies access to all pets wearing a Titanium Computer Collar® unit.
