Your new electronic containment system contains four
major components: a wall-mount transmitter, a collar
receiver, a lightning/power surge protection module,
and boundary wire. The wall-mount transmitter gener-
ates 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, the receiver will sound a warn-
ing tone followed by a harmless, but effective electron-
ic correction. When trained properly, your dog will
quickly learn where his boundaries are. The system is
designed to contain dogs within a perimeter of up to
4175 feet (enough for a square containment area of 25
a c r e s ) . This package contains insulated wire fo r
enclosing a yard approximately one-half acre in size.
Additional boundary wire can be purchased from
Invisible Fence by calling 1-800-688-4364. The system
is also capable of containing multiple dogs simultane-
ously. Although the IF-100 is sold with one collar
receiver, additional IF-100 collar receivers can be pur-
chased from Invisible Fence by calling 1-800-688-4364.
This manual includes a Quick Start Guide for people
who are already familiar with electronic containment
systems. Additionally, a detailed description of the
transmitter, receiver and lightning protector, a detailed
installation procedure, a usage and training guide, and
a troubleshooting guide is included.

THIS MANUAL AND ALL CAUTIONS AND WARNINGS
PRIOR TO INSTALLING AND USING THIS SYSTEM.
IT IS RECOMMENDED YOU READ THE ENTIRE
MANUAL PRIOR TO INSTALLATION OR USE OF THIS
SYSTEM.
This Quick Start Guide is provided for people who are
already familiar with electronic containment systems. It
also serves as a quick visual index to the detailed instal-
lation procedure included in this guide. If you find you
need more detail while using this Quick Start Guide,
simply refer to the procedure section referenced for
detailed instructions.
1. Layout your containment boundary (See Section
4.A, pg 7 for details)
Sketch your yard on a piece of graph paper and decide
where you would like to contain your dog. Section 4.A.
shows some sample layouts and provides some helpful
design tips. Before you decide where to bury your con-
tainment wire have your utility companies mark utility
lines
2. Install the Wall-Mount Transmitter (See Section
4.B, pg 8 for details)
Select a dry, indoor location for the wall-mount trans-
mitter that is within five feet of a standard, grounded
110-volt household outlet.Attach the transmitter mount-
