M7 Receiver Collar
Manufactured by DogWatch, inc.

DogWatch Hidden Fence recommends that the receiver collar be removed for at least
several hours per day to ensure no pressure sores (pressure necrosis) will develop on
your pets skin.
Pressure sores may develop by having the collar on “too tight, for too long”.
Longer furred pets can have a slightly greater chance of sores developing, especially
after swimming or being soaked with water. If sores are evident, remove the collar and
wash the skin with a Dettol type of cleanser and allow to dry out and heal.
Pressure Sores, if they occur, can be perceived as “burns”. This is a misdiagnosis, as
electronic collars only deliver Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS), which,
does not develop heat and is non-injurious.
Pressure sores are very rare, but can happen to 0.5% of pets.
IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
COLLAR WEARING PROTOCOL
Receiver Collars should be removed from the dog for AT LEAST
several hours per day.
If your dog is a working breed, and is looking after livestock,
Please contact us, and we can give advice for using a clock
protocol.

Please read all the literature included with your DogWatch® Hidden Fence before turning the
system on or beginning conditioning protocols.
•Do not attempt to shortcut the training of your dog.
• The Hidden Fence is intended only for the purpose of containing domestic dogs and cats.
Use for any other purpose is at the system owner’s risk.
• In the event your system requires servicing, please contact your local authorized
Hidden Fence Dealer. Servicing the Dogwatch hidden fence system without using an authorized
dealer may invalidate the warranty.
• The Hidden Fence is recommended for dogs six (6) months or older. Your Dealer will
recommend if a puppy under 6 months old is ready.
• Keep the collar and the transmitter out of the reach of children.
• Never adjust the transmitter or receiver when your dog is wearing the collar.
• This product is only intended for use with well behavioured domestic dogs. If your dog is
aggressive or violent and could cause harm to itself or others within or outside the fenced
premises, you should take other measures to restrain your dog.
For additional information or help, please contact your vendor or local dealer
Many of these steps will help keep your pet safe and comfortable. The reason for these various steps
is to ensure you get the best possible results “safely” from your new Hidden Fence.
•The Receiver Collar should not be on your dog when the system is tested.
Your pet may receive an unintended correction.
• The Boundary Width of the system must be tested whenever an adjustment is made to the
containment eld to prevent unintended corrections to your pet.
• If you use a collar and leash for training, be sure the extra collar does not put pressure
on the contact points.
• Use care when mowing or trimming your grass not to cut the loop wire.

The R7M Receiver collar delivers a sound warning prior to delivering the
stimulation.
The distance of sound warning is dependent on the total distance of your collar
activation zone. The sound warning is typically around 15% of the total activation
distance is set.
The Status LED will flash GREEN
once every 40 seconds. This indicates
that the battery is good.
If the LED flashes RED, then your
receiver collar needs to
have the battery replaced.

HIGH HIGH HIGH +
Level 2 is the default level from the factory. This level may be used as
the “introduction” stimulation training level for your pet, although,
it’s recommended to start at “Level 1”.
The R7M Receiver collar can be programmed to deliver up to 8 levels of
electrical stimulation to influence your dogs understanding of containment.
The electrical stimulation is non-injurious, and is known as TENS or
(transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation).
The stimulation levels start from level “0” (Audible warning tone), all the way
to level 7 (High +).
The level on the receiver collar is revealed by an audible tone, and a flashing LED
when using the Multi-tool to identify or change the level. Below is a diagram
showing the sequence.

Using the supplied MULTI-TOOL,
place magnet tip end of the multi-tool,
and place it between the programming
mark on the top side of the receiver
until the receiver “beeps”,
then pull it away.
The amount of “beeps”,
indicates the training level.
Place the magnet tip between
the programming mark, and hold.
The receiver will indicate the
current stimulation level by an
audible “beeping” noise,
and LED green flashs.
To change the stimulation level, continue holding the magnet tip against the
programming mark, and the stimulation level will move to the next higher level.
Once you reach the desired stimulation level, quickly pull away the multi-tool.
If you accidently move beyond the desired stimulation level, continue to hold the
magnet in position, and the level will cycle around back to the start point.
To verify you are at the desired stimulation training level, repeat step 1, and
listen for the set level.
