IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

Explanation Of Attention Words And Symbols Used In This Guide

This is the safety alert symbol. It is used to alert you to potential personal injury hazards. Obey all safety

messages that follow this symbol to avoid possible injury or death.

WARNING

WARNING indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in death or serious

injury.

CAUTION, used with the safety alert symbol, indicates a hazardous situation which, if not

avoided, could result in minor or moderate injury.

CAUTION, used without the safety alert symbol, indicates a hazardous situation which, if not

avoided, could result in harm to your dog.

NOTICE is used to address safe use practices not related to personal injury.

WARNING

• Don’t use this product if your dog is aggressive or prone to aggressive behavior. Aggressive dogs can cause severe injury and even

death to owners and others. If you’re unsure whether this product is appropriate for your dog, please consult your veterinarian or a

certiﬁed trainer.

• Underground cables can carry high voltage. Have all underground cables marked before you dig to bury the boundary wire. In most

areas, it’s a free service. Don’t install, connect, or remove your system during a lightning storm. If the storm is close enough for you

to hear thunder, it’s close enough to create hazardous surges.

• To avoid risk of severe injury, follow all safety instructions for your power tools, and wear safety goggles during use.

• Before you begin installing the Boundary Wire, turn the Fence Transmitter OFF.

• To avoid electric shock, use the containment Transmitter indoors in a dry location only.

• DON’T attempt to cut into or pry open the battery. Be sure to discard any used battery properly.

• Never incinerate, puncture, deform, short-circuit or charge with an inappropriate charger. Fire, explosion, property damage, or

bodily harm may occur if this warning is not followed.

• There is a risk of explosion if a battery is replaced by an incorrect type. Do not short circuit, mix old and new batteries, dispose of in

ﬁre, or expose to water. When batteries are stored or disposed, they must be protected from shorting.

• The battery should be charged in areas with temperatures ranging from 32°F to 113°F / 0°C to 45°C. Recharging the battery outside of

this temperature range can cause the battery to overheat, explode, or catch ﬁre.

• Wire on top of the ground may be a trip hazard. Be careful when placing wires and testing the system.

• This system is NOT a solid barrier. It’s designed to act as a deterrent to remind dogs to remain within the established boundary by

use of static stimulation. It’s important that you reinforce training with your dog on a regular basis. Since the tolerance level to static

stimulation varies from dog to dog, Radio Systems Corporation CANNOT guarantee that the system will, in all cases, keep a dog

within the established boundary. Not all dogs can be trained to avoid crossing the boundary! Therefore, if you have reason to believe

that your dog may pose a danger to others or harm himself if he is not kept from crossing the boundary, you should NOT rely solely

upon this system to conﬁne your dog. Radio Systems Corporation shall NOT be liable for any property damage, economic loss, or any

consequential damages sustained as a result of any animal crossing the boundary.

• It’s vitally important that you and your dog remain safe during on-leash training. Your dog should be on a strong lead/leash, long

enough for him to attempt to chase an object, but short enough for him not to reach a road or other hazard. You must be physically

strong enough to restrain your dog if he tries to chase something.

• Proper ﬁt of the collar is important. A collar worn for too long or made too tight on the dog’s neck may cause skin damage ranging

from redness to pressure ulcers. This condition is commonly known as bed sores.

• Avoid leaving the collar on a dog for more than 12 hours per day.

• When possible, reposition the collar on the dog’s neck every 1 - 2 hours.

• Regularly recheck the ﬁt to prevent excessive pressure; follow the instructions in this manual.

• You may need to trim the hair in the area of the Contact Points. However, never shave the dog’s neck; this may lead to a rash or

infection.

• Never connect a lead/leash to a collar with Contact Points. It will cause excessive pressure on the Contact Points.

• When connecting a lead/leash to a separate collar, don’t allow it to put pressure on the Collar Receiver.

• Wash the dog’s neck area and the Contact Points of the 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 using this product until the skin has healed.

• If the condition persists beyond 48 hours, see your veterinarian.

• For additional information on bed sores and pressure necrosis, please visit www.sportdog.com.

• Proper training of your dog is essential to successfully using the system. During the ﬁrst 2 weeks of training, don’t use the system

without direct supervision of your dog.

• Always remove your dog’s Collar Receiver before performing any Transmitter testing or adjustments. This will prevent unintended

corrections.

• To prevent an unintended correction, after the boundary markers have been placed and you are beginning your containment

training, be sure to set the static stimulation level on the collar back to Level 1 (or tone/vibe), and only increase if necessary.

• The boundary width of the system must be tested whenever an adjustment is made to the Boundary Area to prevent unintended

corrections to your dog. Don’t use an outlet protected with a residual current device (RCD) or ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI).

The system will function properly, but in rare cases, nearby lightning strikes may cause the RCD or GFCI to trip. Without system

power, your dog may escape. You’ll have to reset the RCD or GFCI to restore power to the system.

• This product is only for use with healthy dogs. If you’re not certain that your dog is in good health, we recommend that you take your

dog to a veterinarian before using this product.

• Avoid damaging the insulation of the loop wire; damage may cause areas of weak signal and lead to failure of the boundary.

• When mowing or trimming your grass, use care not to cut the Boundary Wire.

• To protect the containment Transmitter, disconnect the Boundary Wire and unplug the power adapter from the outlet when the

system will not be used for long periods of time or prior to thunderstorms. This will prevent power surges from damaging the

Transmitter.

• Modiﬁcation or changes to this equipment not expressly approved by Radio Systems Corporation may void the user’s authority to

operate the equipment.
