Operating Guide
Step 1: Have Your Utilities Marked
1. Call your utility company to have your utility lines
marked. If you have neighbours using an in-ground
pet containment system, you will want to ask them
where the boundary is located. Trust us, you really
do not want to skip this step.
2. Make a plan for how you will work around any
large metal objects (like sheds) or wires. You can
cross utility lines but only at 90-degree angles (1A).
Note: Large metal objects and wires can amplify and/
or modulate radio signals in unpredictable ways.
Underground cables can carry high voltage. Have all underground cables marked before
you dig to bury your wire. In most areas, this is a free service. Avoid these cables when
you dig.
Step 2: Charge the Receiver Collar
To charge the receiver collar, lift the rubber plug to
allow access to the charge jack (2A). The rubber plug
needs to remain attached to the receiver collar. Plug
one end of the charger into the outlet and the other
into the receiver collar. The jack and charger are
keyed to fit one way. Do not force it in backwards.
The collar light is red while charging and green when
fully charged. A built-in safety circuit prevents the
receiver collar from overcharging. The first charge will
take about 2 or 3 hours. Each charge can last up to 3
months depending on the frequency of use.
• The rechargeable Lithium Ion (Li-Ion) battery is
not memory sensitive, does not require depletion
before charging, and cannot be over charged.
• The battery comes partially charged from the factory, but will require a full charge before first use.
• When storing the unit for long periods, remember to regularly give the battery a full charge. This should be done
once every 3 to 4 months.
• This device contains a Lithium-Ion (Li-Ion) battery. 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.
• The battery should be charged in areas with temperatures ranging from 0°C to 45°C.
Recharging the battery outside of this temperature range can cause the battery to
overheat, explode or catch fire.
You should expect hundreds of recharge cycles from your battery. However, do not charge your
receiver collar every night. Frequent charging can have a negative effect on the battery. We
recommend that the receiver collar be used until the receiver indicator light blinks red.
