Controller
Fence Radius
Key Definitions:
Roaming Area: Area between the Controller and the Trigger Zone where your dog is free to roam and play. Capable of
expanding the fence radius from 40 feet up to 400 feet.
Trigger Zone: The zone, which may be up to 13 feet wide, located at the edge of the Roaming Area that forms the fence
boundary. Correction is triggered by your dog crossing into the Trigger Zone which can be set to Tone Only (auditory alarm)
or static correction.
Controller: Auditory alerts and the LCD screen provide intuitive navigation for setting
up, activating and managing your fence. The Controller houses a
state-of-the-art transceiver and displays the real-time distance
to your dog. It will notify you if your dog breaches the
fence boundary, if there is a problem with any
of the system components or if the Battery
life of the Collar is running low. The
Controller can manage up to
2 Collars.
Havahart® Collar: The comfortable,
water-proof Collar houses a
rechargeable RCR123 Battery, two
correction Probes and a state-of-the-
art radio transceiver with advanced
antenna assembly. The Collar
communicates continuously with the
Controller to track the real-time location
of your dog. The Collar can be programmed
to Tone Only (auditory correction) or one of 5
different static correction levels. The default
correction level is Tone Only. Use long or short
Probes depending upon the thickness of your dog’s
coat. The Havahart® Collar features exclusive Integrated
Motion Sensor Technology, which allows the Collar to go
to sleep when it is not in motion to conserve and optimize Battery life.
The Technology Behind the System:
The Havahart® Radial-Shape Wireless Dog Fence is driven by two nanoLOC TRX 2.4 GHz transceivers that have been enhanced
with complex algorithms, strategic distortion filtering and modular signal amplification to deliver time-of-flight ranging
technology. These enhancements comprise the core of the patent pending elements that allow the Havahart® Radial-Shape
Wireless Dog Fence to provide an unparalleled level of technical sophistication in the wireless dog fencing industry.

How it Works:
Both the Havahart® Collar and the Controller contain nanoLOC TRX 2.4 GHz transceiver chipsets that send and receive radio
transmissions from their associated antenna pairs like 2-way radios. When radio signals are sent from the antennas of either
component, they propagate in an omni-directional or spherical manner. The ranging process continuously Captures, filters and
refines data that yields the distance between the Havahart® Collar and the Controller.
This enables the system to track the real-time location of your dog. When the user-defined fence radius distance is reached
inside the Trigger Zone, the Controller sends a command to the Collar to take action and correct (tone or static — based on
user settings). The correction is not constant, but cyclical. The Collar will correct your dog until one of the following two
conditions is met:
1. Your dog returns back into the Roaming Area. The system then returns to normal operating mode.
2. The Collar’s Safety Time-Out Feature stops the correction cycle after 30 seconds. After the correction cycle times out, your
dog will NOT be corrected for returning to the Roaming Area. The Collar will revert to normal operating mode only
when your dog is back inside the Roaming Area. After that, the Controller will not send another correction command until
your dog moves back into the Trigger Zone.

Setting Up the Controller
Installing & Activating the Controller:
1. Position the Controller inside your home on an outer wall
nearest the center of your desired containment area. Make sure a
standard 120V AC power outlet is nearby.
2. Using the removable wall-mount adhesive strips (see Page 9)
or screw & wall anchor, mount the Controller on the appropriate
wall, approximately 6 feet off the ground or at eye level
(see Illustration A).
3. Plug the Controller into a nearby standard electrical outlet.
4. Press “Enter”
NOTE: It is recommended to use the removable wall
mount adhesive strips in the event that you later
determine the Controller is not in the correct place and it
needs to be relocated. If the strips will not work on the
wall of your choice and you want to get a rough idea of
where the Fence Boundary/Trigger Zone will exist before
you attach the Controller to the wall, find a way to keep
the Controller propped upright and as close to the desired
final position as possible.
Position the controller at least 3 feet
away from large metal objects and major
appliances as these items may reduce the
size and shape of your Roaming Area (see
Factors Affecting Signal Strength on
Page 25).
!
IMPORTANT MESSAGE

To attach using the removable wall-mount adhesive strips:
• Once the Controller location is determined, gently clean the
wall surface with isopropyl rubbing alcohol, wipe gently and
let dry. DO NOT USE household cleaners (see Figure 1.0).
• Separate strips (if still connected) at the perforation.
• Peel the liner from the back of one of the strips and attach it
vertically to the middle of the Controller with the release-tab
pointed upward toward the antennas (see Figure 1.1a).
• Connect another strip to the strip on the Controller by
pressing the fasteners of both strips firmly together until
they snap. The release-tab on the other strip should point
downward away from the antennas - the opposite direction
of the release-tab of the strip on the Controller (see Figure 1.1b).
• Peel the liner from the back of the other strip and attach it
to the wall with the release-tab facing downward toward the
floor and the Controller antennas facing upward toward the
ceiling (see Figure 12).
To remove the adhesive strips:
• Pull the Controller gently from the wall by disconnecting
the fasteners. DO NOT pull the strips off the Controller or
the wall.
• Start with the strip on the wall. Press one hand on the top of
the strip. Use your other hand to pull the release-tab slowly
down against the wall stretching it at least 12 inches until
the strip releases. Repeat for the strip attached to the
Controller (see Figures 1.3a & 1 3b).

Installing a Battery:
1. Make sure a Battery is fully charged before installing it in the
Collar (see Recharging a Battery on Page 12). Turn the Battery
Cap on the Collar counterclockwise about 1/4 turn and pull it
out. With the positive side facing outward, install one RCR123
Battery into the Collar (see Figure 1.4). Replace the Battery Cap
and turn it clockwise to lock into place.
2. The Collar Light will flash green. If it does not, shake the Collar
gently as the Collar is in sleep mode (see the Havahart® Collar
Light Chart).
NOTE : The Collar is always “on” when a fully charged Battery is
installed. However, the Collar may be awake or asleep. Integrated
Motion Sensor Technology allows the Collar to conserve Battery
life when appropriate by putting the Collar to sleep. The Collar
Light will not flash when the Collar is asleep. Movement, such as
gently shaking the Collar, will awaken it and the Collar Light will
flash green.
The Collar Light will flash red to indicate that the Battery needs to
be recharged. The Controller will also produce an auditory tone
to alert you that the Battery is low.

Recharging a Battery:
You want to see the red light come on when you
place the Battery in the Charger. You can charge up
to two Batteries at the same time. When the Battery
is close to being fully charged, the light will flicker
red and blue. Do NOT take the Battery out until the
light turns completely blue. It takes less than 3 hours
to fully charge a Battery.
Note: Recharging the RCR123 Battery is similar to
recharging a mobile phone. Always have a spare
Battery ready to go when your other Battery gets
low. You should expect to charge the Battery every
3-5 days depending on how active your dog is.

Establishing the Fence Boundary/Trigger Zone Distance:
1. Estimate the distance between the Controller and the desired
boundary location. This distance will be the radius of the Trigger
Zone all the way around the Controller.
2. Set the radius on the Controller
• From the Setup Menu, select Fence Setup (see Screen 1.1).
• Use the up/down arrow keys to scroll to the desired fence radius
distance and press Enter (see screen 1.9). The minimum radius
is 40 feet, and the maximum radius is 400 feet from the
Controller in all directions.
• Select OK to Save Your Settings.
3. Test the Trigger Zone
• To confirm that the location of the actual boundary is correct...
- Set the Collar to Tone Only.
- Extend your arm down by
your side and hold the Collar
by the Grey Battery Housing
so that you can see the Collar
Light (see Figure 1.5). Make
sure that your body does not
get between the Collar and
the Controller as your body may affect the signal and cause
the boundary to shift inward (see Factors Affecting Signal
Strength on Page 25).
- Walk toward the boundary while gently moving the Collar
until the Collar beeps and the Collar Light flashes red. To
confirm the boundary location, step back until the Collar
stops beeping and then walk forward in the same direction
until the Collar beeps and the Collar Light flashes red again. If
necessary, note how far from the desired location the actual
setting is. Place a flag at the boundary location
(see Illustration C). If you have to change the boundary
distance, you will know where your boundary was and to
where you are moving it. If the location is correct, place a flag
to start the flag line of your fence boundary.
4. Adjust the Fence Distance on the Controller accordingly using
the instructions in Step 2 until the desired boundary location is
established.

OR THOROUGHFARE FOR YOUR DOG’S
SAFETY.
TRIGGER ZONE SHAPE: It is normal that
your Trigger Zone MAY NOT FORM A
PERFECT CIRCLE and the actual distance
from the Trigger Zone to the Controller
may be less than the set radius. A
reduced fence radius may be the result
of Factors Affecting Signal Strength (see
Page 25). Large metal objects such as
a car or refrigerator can slightly distort
the roundness of your fence boundary.
However, once set, the Trigger Zone
location will remain consistent over time.
!
IMPORTANT MESSAGE
NOTE : Use the shortest distance to a property boundary as a
starting point for the radius of the Trigger Zone (see Illustration B).

Placing Training Flags:
Once your boundary is established, it’s time to place the remaining
Training Flags. Training Flags are critical for the effective training of
your dog.
1. Repeat the process in Step 3 of Establishing the Fence
Boundary/Trigger Zone Distance by walking toward the fence
boundary about 6 feet (2 paces) to the right of the previous
flag, verifying the fence boundary, placing a flag, and then
stepping back into the Roaming Area.
2. Repeat Step 1 until the entire containment area is surrounded
(see Illustration D).
NOTE : Consult the Flag Calculator on Page 7 to determine the
number of flags you need.
NOTE: These flags represent the location of your wireless
fence and will be used later to train your dog. Be sure that
the flags form an enclosed area and that your dog has safe,
adequate entry to your house.

If you would like to confirm that the Havahart® Collar
will deliver a static correction when crossing the Trigger
Zone, you can use the Heart-Shaped Collar Tester. Set the
correction level to Static Level 1. Hold the metal contact
points located inside the holes of the Heart-Shaped Collar
Tester against the Probes of the Havahart® Collar so that
metal is touching metal. Carry the Havahart® Collar by the
Grey Battery Housing with the Heart-Shaped Collar Tester
held against the Probes. Extend your arm down by your side.
Make sure that your body does not get between the Collar
and the Controller as your body may affect the signal and
cause the boundary to shift inward. Walk to a boundary
point and watch the Heart-Shaped Collar Tester illuminate.
Remember to set the correction level back to Tone Only
for training.

Fitting a Collar
To ensure the safe and effective operation of the system, it is
important to make sure that the Collar is fitted properly.
1. Be sure the fence is turned off at the Controller (see
Turning the Trigger Zone Off/On on Page 14).
2. With your dog standing comfortably, position the Collar high
on your dog’s neck, underneath the chin with the Probes
facing upward and centered on your dog’s neck. The Havahart®
logo should be right side up when you look at your dog.
3. Make sure the Probes maintain contact with skin.
• Collar is factory installed with long Probes for thick or
long-haired breeds.
• Short Probes for short-haired dogs are included.
• To change the Probes, simply unscrew the long Probes and
replace them. Be sure the rubber washer is between the
Probe and the Grey Battery Housing. Use your fingers to
tighten the Probes as far as you can. Do not over tighten.
4. Adjust the Collar to fit snugly but not tightly. You should be
able to slide the tip of one finger between your dog’s coat
and one of the Probes on the Collar. The tip of your finger
should not be able to slip between the two easily, but with
some effort. It should be a tight squeeze (see Illustration E).
Separately, you should be able to slide one finger between the
strap of the Collar and the back of your dog’s neck.
5. Once the Collar is adjusted to the correct length, remove
the Collar and trim the excess using scissors (see Illustration F).
4The Collar should be snug enough so that
it does not move when your dog moves.
To help prevent skin irritation, it is
recommended that you never leave
the Collar on your dog for more than
12 consecutive hours at a time.

IMPORTANT MESSAGE !
NOTE: It may be necessary to trim the hair around the
Probes to ensure reliable contact.
NOTE: If your dog is going to continue to grow or grows a long
winter coat, leave extra room before trimming off the excess.

Important Collar Safety Guidelines:
1. During training, do not let your dog wear the Collar without
direct supervision.
2. Each time you take the Collar off your dog, look for any indication
of a sore or rash.
3. Should you find any indication of a sore or rash on your dog, stop
using the Collar for a few days.
4. If the rash or sore exists for more than 2 days, consult your
veterinarian.
5. Wash your dog’s neck weekly with mild soap and a wash cloth
and then rinse clean.
6. Wash the Probes of the Collar weekly with mild soap and a wash
cloth and then rinse clean.
If you do not remove the Collar from
your dog’s neck at least every 12 hours
AND clean your dog’s neck and the
Collar, Pressure Necrosis may occur
which is a deterioration of your dog’s
skin. It is caused by extended contact to
the pressure of the Probes of the Collar
combined with the oil and dirt that may
accumulate on the Probes if not
kept clean.

IMPORTANT REMINDERS:
Please read the following information completely before you
begin training:
• Proper training of your dog is essential to help ensure the
successful operation of your Radial-Shape Wireless Dog Fence.
• We recommend that you train your dog for a minimum of 15 consecutive days. Use a calendar to track your
dog’s progress.
• Keep your training sessions short and frequent -- approximately 10-15 minutes long, 2-3 times a day.
• Every dog is unique and may respond differently to the training depending on its age, size, temperament and
ability to learn. For this reason, you may need to adjust your training schedule accordingly.
• It may be necessary to decrease the speed of the training schedule or add more training days if your dog seems
to be under stress. Signs that your dog may be under stress include: tail between legs, ears pulled back, refusal
to go outside the home and nervous shaking.
• Before beginning Collar-assisted training, allow your dog to get used to wearing the Havahart® Collar with
the Battery removed.
• Have fun with your dog during the training process and end each session with positive praise and play time in
the Roaming Area at least 10 feet away from the Training Flags.
• Be patient and consistent in your approach.
• Remove the Havahart® Collar after each training session.
• If you are training more than one dog, train each dog separately.
• Should your dog breach the Trigger Zone while wearing the Havahart® Collar, unlike an underground wire fence,
your dog will not receive a separate correction for returning through the Trigger Zone back into the Roaming Area.
• It is important that you complete the entire training process and do not skip any phases.
The Radial-Shape Wireless Dog Fence from
Havahart® is not a physical boundary. It is
necessary to contain your dog using a leash
or other means during training.

Training Your Dog
Leaving the Roaming Area with Your Dog
Once your dog becomes accustomed to the Trigger Zone, he may become uncomfortable leaving the Roaming Area for
activities such as walks or riding in the car. If you need to take your dog out of the Roaming Area, ALWAYS remove the
Havahart® Collar and use one of the following methods:
1. Walk your dog outside of the Roaming Area while on a leash. Cross the same area of the Trigger Zone
flag line each time, giving a command such as “CROSS”, and praising your dog for crossing this specific
area. Always leave this area with your dog on a leash.
2. Carry your dog out.
3. Take your dog out in a car.

PRELIMINARY PHASE -- Flag AwarenessTraining - Optional (2-3 training sessions per day: each 10-15 minutes long)
Completing this phase will add 3 days to your training, but will give your dog more time to get used to the
Training Flags if you choose to complete it.
1. Turn OFF the fence (see Page 14).
2. Fit the Havahart® Collar around your dog’s neck. Place a different
non-metal collar above the Havahart® Collar and attach a leash to it.
Make sure that this collar does not apply pressure to the Probes on
the Havahart® Collar as this could hurt your dog when you pull on
the leash.
3. Using the leash, walk your dog around inside the Roaming Area for
5 minutes, avoiding contact with the Trigger Zone.
4. Approach one of the Training Flags with your dog. When your dog gets close to the flag, gently shake the
flag while saying “Bad Flags” in a firm, disapproving tone. Do not yell or frighten your dog.
5. Lead your dog back into the Roaming Area and praise your dog.
6. Repeat this process at several different Training Flags.
7. End with lots of playtime and praise for your dog in the Roaming Area at least 10 feet away from the
Training Flags.
8. Be sure to remove the Havahart® Collar from your dog after each training session.
9. You may proceed to PHASE 1 when your dog avoids going near the Training Flags but will walk anywhere
within the Roaming Area.
