Operation Guide

Thank you for purchasing this Containment

System.

This electronic dog training system is among the

safest, most humane and effective training prod-

ucts you can buy. Used properly, the collar’s elec-

tronic stimulation serves as a distraction that your

dog will find undesirable. By complying, your dog

quickly learns to shut off the stimulation, thus

gaining confidence in response to your com-

mands.

Please take a few minutes to read the instruction

manual prior to first use and retain the manual for

future reference. This instruction manual contains

important programming and set-up information to

help your training proceed as successfully as pos-

sible. For best results follow these important safe-

guards:

I M P O R TANT SAFEGUARDS

1.Obey all warnings contained in this manual.

2. The electronic dog collar is intended only for

use on dogs over 6 months of age. Never attempt

to use this product for any purpose not specifical-

ly described in this manual.

3.If you have any reason to believe that your dog

may pose a danger to others, harm itself, or would

react adversely after receiving stimulations from

this containment system, you should not rely

solely on this product to contain your dog.

4. Do not leave the collar on your dog for more

than 12 hours per day.

5.Never perform set-up procedures when the col-

lar is on your dog.

6. Monitor the system prior to use and after

changing any settings to ensure that the unit is

operating properly.

7.Do not use this system if you suspect the bat-

tery in the collar receiver is low.

8. Keep out of the reach of children.

9. Your dog will not respond to your system

unless:

A.You train your dog and utilize the Training

tips section of this manual.

B. The collar receiver has a working battery.

Do not use if you suspect a low battery in it.

C.The collar receiver is worn properly by the

dog.

D. The collar receiver is adjusted so that the

probes are touching your dog’s skin.

E.The wall transmitter is on, connected to the

containment loop wire, and producing a

signal along the loop wire.

F. The 12-volt, 200 mAmp, adapter is

plugged into the wall transmitter and is

connected to a 110-volt household outlet.

10. The following precautions should always be

taken:

A.Never service or install a system or any

equipment during a thunder or electrical

storm.

B. Never install the wall transmitter where it

could be exposed to the elements. Doing so

will void the manufacturer’s warranty.

C. Monitor the wall transmitter periodically to

ensure that the unit is operating properly and

is producing a signal along the loop wire.

D. Always remove your dog’s collar receiver

before making any adjustments to your

system.

E.Allow your dog to get used to the collar

before you begin training. You want your dog

to accept the collar as part of a routine, not

to associate the collar with the stimulation.

11.To prevent the elimination of an adequate safe

zone in your yard, any adjustments to the field

width must be tested prior to using the system

with your dog. Once the field width has been set

and tested, turning the knob in a clockwise direc-

tion will increase the stimulation area and may

eliminate the safe zone, thus causing stimulations

to be present throughout your entire yard. If you

have questions, please contact Innotek

at 1-800-

826-5527, before using the system with your dog.

12. Realize that because individual dogs have

unique temperaments, there is no way of knowing

how your dog will react to its introduction to the

system. For the safety of your dog, initial training

should take place using a long leash to keep you

in control of the situation. Also realize that an

aggressive dog could turn against the handler

upon receiving the stimulation. Therefore, if you

feel your dog has an aggressive temperament

and/or it has a history of aggressive behavior, you

should consult a certified animal behav i o ri s t

before using this product.

13. Read all instructions before using this product. If you have any questions or concerns after reading this information, contact Innotek at 1-800826-5527. The wall transmitter generates an electronic signal that is transmitted onto the boundary wire and is received by the collar receiver when your dog approaches the boundary wire. When the collar receiver senses your dog is approaching the containment boundary, it will sound a warning tone followed by a harmless, but effective electronic stimulation.

1.Place the collar receiver on a flat surface with the battery cap facing up. B. Wire Terminals: These easy-to-use, pushrelease wire terminals let you instantly connect or disconnect the boundary wire leads. Wires should be stripped about a half inch before connecting to the wall transmitter. 2.Using a coin or a screwdriver, turn the battery cap counterclockwise to loosen and remove it. C.

F. Yard Size Jumper: The yard size “jumper” allows you to customize the wall transmitter for your installation. The wall transmitter comes from the factory with the jumper set for a small yard that utilizes less than 1,000 feet of boundary wire. It can be changed to accommodate a large yard that has more than 1,000 feet of boundary wire in the installation. One 500-foot spool of boundary wire is included with your system. 1.

• To avoid future wire breaks caused by landscaping efforts, the lawn should never be aerated in the vicinity of the containment wire . • For your dog's safety, it is recommended to keep the containment wire at least ten feet from the street. splice • Keep in mind that you will want at least an 8- to 12-foot containment field (8 to 12 feet on each side of the wire). • It is possible to cancel the containment signal in a portion of the containment loop by twisting the wires 2 to 3 inches apart.

opposite side of the house. When at a distance from the corner of the house equal to the containment field width less one foot, do a hairpin turn and continue positioning the wire a distance of the field width plus three feet away from itself. Proceed around the back yard until you return to the opening leading to the wall transmitter. This design will keep the back entrances to the house free from stimulation.

hollow wall fasteners with a hammer. For installation of mounting screws directly into a wall stud, drill 3/32-inch diameter pilot holes at the marked locations . Position the wall transmitter with the screw holes over the pilot holes and secure with the supplied screws. wire, keep in mind that you will want at least an 8- to 12-foot containment field (8 to 12 feet on each side of the wire). Avoid making passageways too narrow or your dog may be hesitant to use them (i.e. along the sides of a house). 3.

• Do NOT bury the loop within 10 feet parallel to electrical, telephone, cable TV, or other buried wire in the yard. • Do NOT bury one section of wire within 10 feet of another section or the signal may cancel. • Do NOT bury your wire within 10 feet of a neighboring containment system’s boundary wire. WARNING: Use only the waterproof splices (approved for direct burial) supplied with this system. If additional splices are required, they may be purchased from Innotek.

That leaves one extra hole that is not used.A pair of pliers should be used to press down on the top black part of the splice. ment field test at the center of the selected section. To test the containment field, attach the test light to the probes and slowly walk the collar receiver toward the boundary wire. The collar receiver should be held at the height of your dog’s neck with the probes pointed upward.

If the field adjustment knob position is altered, you must test the containment field for the desired setting and reposition the flags as necessary. Boundary Wire d.

6. To prevent accidental stimulation inside the home, remove the collar from your dog's neck when it comes inside. F. Place the training flags at the perimeter where the warning tone is heard. This will add a visual cue to the audio warning tone and help your dog learn the boundar y. 7. Check the collar receiver once a week to make sure the collar receiver battery has adequate power. G. Never call or pull a dog into the containment field. 8.

B.The Schedule The six dog-training lessons take place over the course of about 4 weeks. For total success it is necessary to complete the entire course. D. Training Lessons Lesson 1: The Retreat Pattern Before you start to train, make sure the collar receiver is functioning and the battery has adequate power. Remove the standard probes and install the black plastic probes. The black plastic probes ensure that your dog does not receive a stimulation until he learns to retreat from the boundary.
