to remind pets to remain within the established boundary by use of static stimulation. It is important that you
reinforce training with your pet on a regular basis. Since the tolerance level to static stimulation varies from pet
to pet, Radio Systems Corporation CANNOT guarantee that the system will, in all cases, keep a pet within the
established boundary. Not all pets can be trained to avoid crossing the boundary! Therefore, if you have reason
to believe that your pet 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 pet. 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.
• Proper fit of the receiver collar is important. A receiver collar worn for too long or made too tight on the 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 the pet for more than 12 hours per day.
• When possible reposition the receiver collar on the pet's neck every 1 to 2 hours.
• Regularly recheck the fit to prevent excessive pressure; follow the instructions in this product manual.
• Never connect a lead to a collar with contact points. It will cause excessive pressure on the contact points.
• When connecting a lead to a separate collar, do not allow it to put pressure on the receiver collar.
• Wash the 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 beyond 48 hours, see your veterinarian.
• For additional information on bed sores and pressure necrosis, please visit our website.
• You may need to trim the hair in the area of the contact points. However, never shave the pet's neck; this may lead
to a rash or infection.
• The boundary width of the system must be tested whenever an adjustment is made to the pet area to prevent
unintended stimulations to your pet.
• Always remove your pet's receiver collar before performing any transmitter testing or adjustments. This will
prevent unintended static stimulations.
• If possible, do not use an outlet protected with a residual current device (RCD) or a ground fault circuit interrupter
(GFCI). The fence system will function, but in rare cases, nearby lightning strikes may cause the RCD or GFCI
to trip. Without power, your pet may be vulnerable to escape. You will have to reset the RCD or GFCI to restore
power to the system.
• Proper training of your pet is essential to successfully using the system. During the first 2 weeks of training, do not
use the system without direct supervision of your pet.
• Before you begin installing the boundary wire, unplug the fence transmitter.
System is NOT a solid barrier. It is designed to act as a deterrent
