R7m a d R9Receiver Features
AutoMemory™When the receiver is set to one of the AutoMemory levels, our patented
AutoMemory feature automatically adjusts the correction level of the receiver when your
pet challenges the boundary by entering the avoidance zone. When this happens, the
receiver will automatically advance the correction level setting by one level. If the dog does
not enter the signal field again in the next 24 hour period, the receiver defaults to the
original setting. The AutoMemory feature operates when your Receiver Training Level is
set to 4, 5, or 6.
Status Light
■Start-Up When you first insert the battery into your receiver, the status light will flash
red and green. This indicates that the receiver has started properly. Once started, the
status light will continue to flash green once every 30 seconds indicating normal
operation. In the event that the light does not flash, check the battery to be sure that it
has been inserted properly.
■Training Level Indicator When programming the training level of your receiver, the
status light will flash green in conjunction with audible beeps. The number of flashes
will equal the training level you have chosen.
■Signal Field Indicator When testing the receiver in the signal field the status light will
flash green when the receiver is in the audible zone and will flash green and red when
the receiver is in the correction zone.
■Correction Alert You will be able to tell if your pet has tested the boundary by looking
at the status light. The status light will double flash green every 30 seconds during the
24 hour period after the dog has entered the boundary area.
■Battery Indicator This feature monitors the voltage level of the battery. Once the
receiver detects that the battery has reached a low voltage level, the status light will
change from the normal blinking “green” every 30 seconds to blinking “red” every 10
seconds. This indicates that your battery is close to the end of its useful life and you
should change the battery within the next 3 4 days.
SETTING THE RECEIVER
Receiver Training Levels Your receiver provides eight training levels that allow you to
customize the training setting to your dog’s individual needs: Audible Only, Level 1 (extra
low), Level 2 (low), Level 3 (low medium), Level 4 (medium), Level 5 (medium high), Level 6
(high), and Level 7 (extra high). When the receiver is first shipped from the manufacturer, it
will automatically be set to Training Level 2 (low).
Changing the Receiver Settings If you need to change the Training Level on the receiver,
hold your test light magnet to the marked area on the side of the receiver. Hold the magnet
steady and you will hear a series of beeps that indicate the current training level. The
“Audible Only” level is one long beep, Level 1 is one short beep, Level 2 is two short
beeps, Level 3 is three short beeps, etc. The Training Level will continue to advance while
the magnet is held in position. When you reach the desired setting, pull the magnet away
from the receiver. The receiver is now set.

For example: If the receiver is on Level 1 and the transmitter is on Rate 1, your dog will receive the
lowest level of correction and the least number of pulses per second.
Please remember that if your Receiver Level is set to 1, 2, or 3 and you switch the raining Mode to
QuickAlert (Mode B), your training setting may change. For example, if the receiver is set to Level 3 and
the transmitter is set to Rate 1, your dog will receive a slow correction. If you switch your raining Mode
to QuickAlert, your dog will now receive a fast correction.

with the RANINING LEVELS on your receiver, you can customize the receiver to one of 20
training settings, as outlined in the chart below.
TRANSMITTER SETTINGS
Rates The Transmitter Rate switch adjusts to three settings: (1 = slow, 2 = medium,
3 = fast). Increasing the rate means that he will receive a greater number of pulses per
second. Rate 1 is the slowest pulse rate per second; 3 is the fastest.
Training Modes The Training Mode switch allows you to choose between two
training options: Basic (Mode A) and QuickAlertTM (Mode B). In Mode A, there is an
audible before a correction. For harder to train dogs, Mode B delivers a very quick
“alert” correction before the normal audible warning and correction.
