Important Precautions
• Invisible
Fence
®
Brand pet
containment
systems have
contained
over two million pets. However, there are
some
precautions
you should take
.
• Read and retain manuals: Read the entire Owner’s
Manual
before using your new Invisible
Fence
®
Brand pet
containment
system.
• Adhere to all warnings and cautions contained in any Invisible
Fence
®
Brand
manual.
WARNING
CAUTION
NOTICE
WARNING
indicates a
hazardous situation
which, if not avoided, could result in death or
serious
injur
y
.
CAUTION
used without the safety alert symbol, indicates a
hazardous situation
which, if not
a
v
oided,
could result in harm to your
pet.
NOTICE
is used to address safe use practices not related to personal injury
.
WARNING
• Replacing the battery backup with a battery not specifically approved by Invisible
Fence
®
Brand may cause fire
or
explosion. Refer all service to your Invisible
Fence
®
Brand Dealer only
.
• Not every pet can be trained to avoid the
established boundary. Sometimes
even a properly trained pet may cross
the
boundar
y
.
Therefore,
Invisible Fence, Inc., as well as Invisible
Fence
®
Distributors
and Dealers, cannot guarantee
the
system
will, in all cases, keep a customer’s pet within the
established boundary.
Accordingly, if a
customer
has reason to believe
tha
t
their pet may pose a danger to others, or harm itself, the
customer
should not rely solely upon the Invisible
Fence
®
Brand
pet
containment
system to keep the pet from crossing the
boundar
y
.
• Do not install,
connect,
or remove your system during a lightning storm. If the storm is close enough for you to
hear
thunder,
it is close enough to create
hazardous
surges
.
CAUTION
• Read and follow the
important instructions
on how to avoid pressure necrosis in your Invisible
Fence
®
Brand
Computer
Collar
®
Unit manual
.
• Train your pet according to the
instructions
in the Invisible
Fence
®
Brand training manuals
. Complete
all steps
before
allowing your pet to run free. Do not become overly
confident
if your pet has become conditioned
to the Invisible
F
ence
®
Brand pet
containment
system sooner than expected
.
• Your Invisible
Fence
®
Brand Dealer has professionally installed your pet
containment
system and
ensured
it is w
orking
properly. You will want to perform periodic maintenance
checks to make sure the system is properly functioning
for
y
our
pet’s safe
containment.
• Check the Invisible
Fence
®
Brand
transmitter
periodically to make sure it is
operating
properly. To do this, simply bring
the
Computer Collar
®
Unit to the edge of the
containment
field to verify
function.
• The transmitter
has visual and audible signals to warn of a system
malfunction.
The transmitter
should be installed where
such
signals may be easily seen and heard. If the
transmitter
is installed by the
customer
in an enclosed box, or in a
place
not
readily accessible to the
customer,
the
customer
will not benefit from the system’s warning
functions,
for which
In
visible
Fence, Inc., as well as Invisible
Fence
®
Distributors
and Dealers, assume no
responsibility
.
• Do not
attempt
to service any Invisible
Fence
®
Brand
equipment.
Refer all service to your
authorized
Invisible
F
ence
®
Brand Dealer. Only your
authorized
Invisible
Fence
®
Brand Dealer should make
adjustments
to your pet
containment
system.
• All Invisible
Fence
®
Brand pet
containment
systems are designed for
domesticated
animal use only. Never
attempt
to
use
this
product
for any
purpose
not specifically
described
in this
manual.
NOTICE
• Use care when mowing, aerating, or
trimming
your lawn so as not to cut the loop
wire.
• If you have any
questions
about any aspect of your Invisible
Fence
®
Brand pet
containment
system, call your
In
visible
Fence
®

How
the
System
Works
The Boundary
Plus®
Transmitter
is designed to work with an Invisible
Fence
®
Brand
Computer Collar
®
Unit to contain your
pet
within areas you choose, or teach your pet to avoid specific areas such as flower beds, gardens, or pools. The transmitter
produces
a signal that travels along the signal field wire and back to the
transmitter
to
produce
an Invisible
Boundar
y
®
barr
ier
.
When your pet
approaches
the
established boundary,
the
Computer Collar
®
Unit generates a tone and
correction
to
remind
your pet of the
boundar
y
.
With training and praise, your pet will quickly learn to stay within or avoid the
established
boundar
y
.
Definition
:
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
crosses
the boundary of an Invisible Fence® Brand
electronic
pet containment system.
Corrections
are used in combination with
rewards
to alter unwanted pet behavior.
Your
Invisible Fence
®
Brand
pet
containment system
will only work
w
hen:
a. The adapter
is
connected
to the
transmitter
and to a
functional standard
electric outlet, via an approved Lightning
Protection
Device. All Invisible
Fence
®
Brand pet
containment
systems must be
grounded
per the
National Electr
ic
Code to be
protected
against lightning (for
North
American customers
only).
b. The transmitter
is on,
connected
to the signal field wire, and
producing
a signal along the entire length of the
wire.
c. The signal field wire is intact, continuous
,
and the
transmitter’s
Status Indicator
Light is blinking
blue.
d. The Computer
Collar
®
Unit is correctly fitted and worn by your pet. The Computer
Collar
®
Unit must be adjusted so
that
both of the
correction
posts touch your pet’s
skin.
e. The Power
Cap
®
Battery in the
Computer Collar
®
Unit is good and correctly
installed.
About
Thunder
and
Electrical Storms:
Even though your Invisible
Fence
®
Brand pet
containment
system is
equipped
with a Lightning Protection
Device (for
North
American customers
only), it is still possible that it may be
damaged
dur
ing
a
thunderstorm,
or when an electrical storm is in the area. After a storm has ended, check the signal field width. See page
5
for
periodic maintenance
checks

Field
T
est
You should always be aware of your system’s signal
field.
Check the signal field from only one place on the signal field loop wire. Always check
the
signal field from the same place. Take the
Computer Collar
®
Unit off your pet to
measure
the signal
field.
1. Hold the Invisible
Fence
®
Brand
Computer Collar
®
Unit so it is parallel to the
signal
field
wire.
2. Hold the collar so it is about the same height and at the same angle as it will be
when
the pet is wearing
it.
3. Walk slowly toward the signal field wire. The Computer
Collar
®
Unit will activate
when
you reach the buried signal field wire. Do NOT touch
the
correction posts
at
this
time!
4.
Move back into the safe area; raise the
Computer Collar
®
Unit to twice the height of your
pet and repeat Step 3. The Computer
Collar
®
Unit will activate when you reach
the
buried
signal field
wire.
If the
Computer Collar
®
Unit does not sound a warning tone where the signal is
supposed
to be,
immediately
call your Invisible
Fence
®
Brand Dealer for service. Use a leash
(lead)
or
other means to contain your pet until all necessary service has been
completed.
