Innotek Smart Dog Rechargeable In-Ground Pet Fencing System

Quick Start GuideStep 1: Design Your FenceHave the local utility companies mark your underground lines. On a sheet of paper, draw your house and yard. Draw a line around your property that represents the containment area for your dog.Step 2: Install the Wall-Mount TransmitterMost people find that the inside of an exterior wall of a garage or basement is ideal. From the sample layouts included, you can see the twisted wire running from the house attaches directly to the transmitter.Step 3: Lay Out the Fence WireRun the containment wire around the property as outlined in your plan.Step 4: Final ConnectionsSplice the containment loop wires to the twisted wire using the supplied waterproof splices. Connect the other end of the twisted wire to the wall-mount transmitter. Plug the AC adapter, connect it to the transmitter and turn it on. The green light should illuminate on the transmitter indicating a successful loop. Charge your collar receiver by placing it in the receiver cradle located on top of the transmitter.Step 5: Charge CollarPosition the collar receiver in the charging cradle located on the top of the wall transmitter. Orient the light on the collar receiver toward the end of the charging cradle marked with an arrow and identified on the label.Step 6: Test Your FenceSet your Field Width Alignment Knob to the nine o'clock position. Using the supplied test light, walk the dog's collar up to the fence wire. Listen for the warning tone and look for the test light to light. Try a number of different places around the fenced area, in order to verify the range is consistent.Step 7: Bury Fence WireDig the trench three inches deep with a flat edge spade. Or, it is faster to use a gas-powered edger. Digging the trench at an angle helps keep the wire in the ground as you place it. Place flags at edge of selected boundary field, where the warning tone is first heard, not at wire.Train Your DogWatch the training video and follow the training steps outlined in the separate Training and Troubleshooting Guide.

The system shuts off after ten seconds before resuming stimulation for another ten seconds. This pattern will repeat for a maximum of three cycles, a duration of 60 seconds.Run-Through PreventionSpecial features are incorporated in your system so your dog cannot run-through the containment field without activating a strong stimulation. The receiver automatically increases the stimulation when your dog continues more than 1/3 of the way through the containment field, regardless of the transmitter stimulation level setting. For example, if the signal is detected 12 feet from the wire and your dog enters the containment field, this feature is activated when he is approximately eight feet from the wire. At this point, your dog automatically receives the highest level of stimulation.The Collar ReceiverThe collar receiver is attached to a nylon collar strap that your dog will wear. The collar receiver administers the warning tone and correction should your dog attempt to leave the yard. Your collar receiver is rechargeable and can be charged by placing the collar on the charging cradle located on top of your wall-mount transmitter. The collar strap should fit snugly toward the top of your dog's neck with the collar receiver box on the bottom of the neck. You should be able to get one finger between the collar strap and your dog's neck. The contact points must make contact with the dog's skin for proper operation. A little hair thinning may be required.Important Notes:Always use the rubber insulators and the collar strap. They provide insulation in damp conditions and keep the collar receiver secure.This product is recommended for dogs six months of age and older.Occasionally, check the tightness of the receiver probes to ensure the receiver does not fall off of the collar.
