IMPORTANT PRECAUTIONS
Invisible Fence®Brand pet containment systems have contained over three million pets. However, there
are some precautions you should take.
• Read and retain manuals: read the entire Owner’s Manual before using your new Invisible Fence
Brand pet containment system.
• Adhere to all warnings and cautions contained in any Invisible Fence Brand manual.
WARNING indicates a hazardous situation, which, if not avoided, could
result in death or serious injury.
CAUTION used without the safety alert symbol, indicates a hazardous
situation, which, if not avoided, could result in harm to your pet.
NOTICE is used to address safe use practices not related to personal injury.
• Not every pet can be trained to avoid the established boundary. Sometimes even a properly
trained pet may cross the boundary. Therefore, Invisible Fence, Inc., as well as Invisible Fence
Brand Distributors and Dealers, cannot guarantee the system will, in all cases, keep a customer’s
pet within the established boundary. Accordingly, if a customer has reason to believe that their
pet may pose a danger to others, or harm itself, the customer should not rely solely upon the
Invisible Fence Brand pet containment system to keep the pet from crossing the boundary.
• Do not install, connect, or remove your system during a lightning storm. If the storm is close
enough for you to hear thunder, it is close enough to create hazardous surges.
• This device contains Lithium-Ion (Li-Ion) batteries; 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.
• Risk of explosion if battery is replaced by an incorrect type. Dispose of used batteries according
to the regulations in your area.
• Taking your product apart can cause damage and void your warranty.
• Do not charge the batteries in areas with high temperature (100o F+).
• Keep batteries away from children.
Pressure Necrosis
Millions of pets are comfortable while they wear the stainless steel contact points. Some pets
can be sensitive to contact pressure. According to the Gale Encyclopedia of Medicine, pressure
necrosis is defined as “open wounds that form whenever prolonged pressure is applied to skin
covering bony outcrops of the body.” Pressure necrosis is also known as pressure ulcers and bed-
sores. Read and follow the important instructions on how to avoid pressure necrosis. Proper fit of
the GPS 3.0 Mobile Collar Unit is important. If the collar is worn for too long or made too tight on
your pet’s neck, pressure necrosis could develop.
How to Prevent Pressure Necrosis
These steps will help keep your pet protected and comfortable:
• Avoid leaving the GPS 3.0 Mobile Collar Unit on the pet for more than 12 hours per day.
• When possible, reposition the GPS 3.0 Mobile Collar Unit on the pet’s neck every 1 to 2 hours.
• Check the fit to prevent excessive pressure, following the instructions in this manual.

InvisibleFence.com | 800-578-3647 | 2
• Never connect a leash to the GPS 3.0 Mobile Collar Unit; it will cause excessive pressure on the
GPS 3.0 Mobile Collar Unit. It may also break the GPS antenna cable.
• Wash the pet’s neck area and the stainless steel Contact Points of the GPS 3.0 Mobile Collar Unit
weekly with a damp cloth.
• Examine the contact area daily for signs of rash or a sore.
• If a rash or sore is found, discontinue use until the skin is healed.
• If the condition persists beyond 48 hours, see your veterinarian.
You may find after some time that your pet becomes accustomed to the GPS 3.0 Mobile Collar
Unit. If so, you may relax some of these precautions. It is important, however, to continue daily
checks of the contact area. If redness or sores are found, discontinue use until the skin has fully
healed.
You may need to trim the hair in the area of the contact points or switch to the longer contact points
to ensure consistent contact. Never shave the pet’s neck; this may lead to a rash or infection.
To prevent an unintended correction:
• The GPS 3.0 Mobile Collar Unit should not be on your pet when the system is tested.
• Remove the GPS 3.0 Mobile Collar Unit before leaving the property.
• Before placing the GPS 3.0 Mobile Collar Unit on your pet, test the boundary area.
• Train your pet according to the instructions in the Invisible Fence Brand training manuals.
Complete all steps before allowing your pet to run free.
• Do not become overly confident if your pet becomes conditioned to the Invisible Fence Brand
pet containment system sooner than expected.
• Your Invisible Fence Brand Dealer has professionally installed your pet containment system and
ensured it is working properly. You will want to perform periodic maintenance checks to make
sure the system is properly functioning for your pet’s containment.
• The GPS 3.0 Base Station has visual and audible signals to warn of a system malfunction.
The GPS 3.0 Base Station should be installed where such signals may be easily seen and heard.
• Do not attempt to service any Invisible Fence Brand equipment. Refer all service to your autho-
rized Invisible Fence Brand Dealer. Only your authorized Invisible Fence Brand Dealer should
make adjustments to your new GPS 3.0 System.
• All Invisible Fence Brand pet containment systems are designed for domesticated animal use only.
Never attempt to use this product for any purpose not specifically described in this manual.
• If you have any questions about any aspect of your Invisible Fence Brand GPS 3.0 System, call
your Invisible Fence Brand Dealer immediately.

GPS 3.0 Mobile Collar Unit
When your pet approaches an established boundary (either the perimeter or internal
Boundary), the GPS 3.0 Mobile Collar Unit generates warning beeps or, if necessary, a solid
tone and correction to remind your pet of the boundary. With training and praise, your pet will
quickly learn to avoid the established boundary.
Definition: A correction is a training term used to describe an action taken to discourage
poor pet behavior. Corrections are used in combination with rewards to alter their behavior.
• The GPS 3.0 System is installed using a computer; there are no wires to bury.
• Your pet’s perimeter boundary can be customized to any shape and there is no
maximum size limitation.
• Up to two internal boundaries can be set to protect your pets from special areas such as gardens
and livestock areas.
• Your pet’s boundaries are created using GPS coordinates to set posts along the specified
boundary; these posts are obtained from online mapping services and are entered and stored in
your pet’s GPS 3.0 Mobile Collar Unit.
• The GPS 3.0 Mobile Collar Unit determines your pet’s position, speed and course.
• This data determines if your pet is in danger of crossing an established boundary.
• If this is the case, the GPS 3.0 Mobile Collar Unit will issue a warning or static correction when any
of the following occur:
• Anti-Linger Notification – Your pet is lingering too close to a boundary.
• Time-To-Boundary Notification – Your pet is approaching a boundary at a speed and course
such that the anticipated time to the boundary is 3 seconds or less. This implies intent to
cross an established boundary.
• Crossed-Boundary Notification – Your pet is not in the designated safe area and is either
outside of the perimeter boundary or inside an internal boundary.

OPERATING GUIDE
GPS 3.0 BASE REFERENCE UNIT
How does it work?
The GPS 3.0 Base Unit’s primary function is to obtain and supply the
GPS 3.0 Mobile Collar Unit with GPS assistance data. Assistance data
improves the GPS 3.0 Mobile Collar Unit’s accuracy and includes
dierential range corrections for all visible satellites, approximate GPS
time, positioning data, and the ionosphere correction model. The GPS
3.0 Base Unit will also provide an alert tone for a GPS 3.0 Mobile Collar
Unit escape in distress (i.e. warnings and corrections are disarmed). See
Tone Indicators below.
Tone indicators
The GPS 3.0 Base Unit uses tones to communicate the following notifications:
Tone Meaning
Two Tones In response to holding down push button to
start reference acquisition (button should be
release after tone sounds)
Three Tones Escape Distress Alarm (indicates that a GPS 3.0
Mobile Collar Unit is outside the boundary by
more than 30 ft and that its warnings and
corrections are disarmed)
The GPS 3.0 Mobile Collar Unit must be within
RF range.
Light indicators
The GPS 3.0 Base Unit’s Left LED reflects GPS signal quality:
Light Display – Left Light GPS Signal Quality
Solid Green Excellent
Fast Flash Green (4/second) Good
Slow Flash Green (1/second) Average
Fast Flash Yellow/Orange (4/second) Fair
Slow Flash Yellow/Orange (1/second) Poor
Solid Red Signal quality is not usable
Fast Flash Red (4/second) Awaiting usable fix
The GPS 3.0 Base Unit’s Right LED reflects base input voltage and mode:
Light Display – Right Light Input Voltage/Mode
Solid Green Normal Mode
Fast Flash Yellow/Orange (4/second) Reference Acquisition Mode
Solid Red Voltage is below acceptable threshold

GPS 3.0 MOBILE COLLAR UNIT
How does it work?
The GPS 3.0 Mobile Collar Unit protects your pet from crossing
the perimeter and internal boundaries. The Collar Unit acquires
its position using GPS satellites and applies a set of rules to arrive
at your pet’s actionable position and speed. The Collar Unit also
determines if the actionable position and likely future position are
within your pet’s safe area.
The GPS 3.0 Mobile Collar Unit requests GPS assistance data from and provides status
information to reference Base Units. To extend its battery life, the Collar Unit’s radio is active
only when necessary. Under certain conditions it will also stop navigation in order to conserve
power and extend battery life. Motion is required to re-start navigation.
Fitting the GPS 3.0 Mobile Collar Unit
To work properly, the stainless steel contact points of the GPS 3.0 Mobile Collar Unit must
touch your pet’s skin.
1. Position the collar strap high on your pet’s neck with the GPS 3.0 Mobile Collar Unit under
your pet’s jaw.
2. To avoid having a collar that is too tight on a thick-haired pet, thin some hair away in order to
allow the contact points to touch the skin. Do not shave your pet’s neck.
3. Tighten the collar strap of the GPS 3.0 Mobile Collar Unit appropriately. Adjust the collar
strap so it is snug enough to slide only one finger between a contact point and your
pet’s skin.
4. Adjust the fit of the GPS 3.0 Mobile Collar Unit as your pet’s coat, weight, and age change.
Your pet’s coat may change from season to season.
5. Allow your pet to become accustomed to his new GPS 3.0 Mobile Collar Unit. The collar must
be removed each night during the first month of training. This ensures proper fit and avoids
the possibility of skin irritation.
6. After training is complete, remove your pet’s GPS 3.0 Mobile Collar Unit each night, if
possible. This will help prevent irritation. However, if this is not possible, please check the
tightness of the collar each time you feed your pet by removing the collar and then replacing
it back on your pet.
Light indicators
Under normal operating conditions, the LED will periodically flash the following two flash
Battery and GPS status indicators.
The first LED flash indicates Battery Status
Indicator Flash Battery Life Remaining (Approximate)
Green More than 16 hours remaining
Yellow 12–16 hours remaining
Red Less than 12 hours remaining

InvisibleFence.com | 800-578-3647 | 6 InvisibleFence.com | 800-578-3647 | 7
The second LED flash indicates GPS signal quality. If navigation is NOT started, the indicator will
always be RED. To insure that navigation has been started, gently shake the unit.
Indicator Flash GPS Signal Quality
Green High
Yellow Par
Red Signal quality is not useable
Tone indicators
When in normal operating mode the GPS 3.0 Mobile Collar Unit will generate tones
associated with real time operation. Audible beeps emanating from the GPS 3.0 Mobile Collar
Unit are intended to warn the pet that a correction is imminent if the action is not corrected.
Training must therefore teach retreat as the desired response to any audible tone. The duration
of the warning tone depends on the notification type.
As an additional measure of protection from running through the boundary, there is less warn-
ing as the urgency of the violation increases. The length of time for a warning tone accumulates
and is inherited by any subsequent violation. Accumulated warning time is discarded only when
there is no current violation. Static corrections are always accompanied by a solid tone.
Tone Meaning
Two tones per second Anti-Linger Notification
Four tones per second Time-to-Boundary Notification
Solid Tone Warning time has elapsed and static
correction is being delivered

GPS 3.0 BATTERY CHARGER
AND MODULE
How do they work?
The GPS 3.0 solution is designed for battery “Hot Swapping” to eliminate any
downtime due to charging. One battery module will be powering the GPS 3.0
Mobile Collar Unit while a second module can be charging.
You will be provided with one battery charger per two GPS 3.0 Mobile Collar
Units and two battery modules per collar unit. Battery life will vary depend-
ing on the activity of your pet. You can expect two to four days of protection
per charge cycle and five years of protection before replacement is required.
The battery modules, when used as a pair, will provide approximately five years of
service before replacement is required. Overall time between charge and battery
lifetime is dependent on operation environment. Contact your local Invisible Fence
Brand dealership for replacement battery modules (Part# RIF00-15980).
The GPS Battery Module is specifically designed for the fit and power requirements
of the GPS 3.0 Mobile Collar Unit. It utilizes a Panasonic Brand, 3.6 Volt 1900 mAh,
lithium ion battery cell with safety circuits. The safety circuits provide protection
against an overcharge, overdischarge or overcurrent event. DO NOT replace or
modify the cell or safety circuits in this module. The use of any unauthorized
power sources or modified GPS Battery Modules may damage the Collar Unit
beyond repair.
The GPS Battery Charger is a 2-slot wall charger that is specifically
designed for charging the GPS Battery Module. One charger is
required for every two pets.
Charging the GPS Battery Module
It is important to charge the GPS Battery Modules fully before first use.
1. Insert the GPS Battery Charger into a standard 120-volt outlet.
2. Place battery module into the charger with the slot pointing to the
unlock position as shown.
3. Press down and rotate to the locked position. The charge indicator for that
slot will light.

Monthly boundary test
You should always be aware of your system’s boundaries. Check
for activation in a minimum of four places throughout the fence
system. Always check the boundary at the same four places
along the fence boundary. Take the GPS 3.0 Mobile Collar Unit
o your pet to check the boundaries.
1. Hold the GPS 3.0 Mobile Collar Unit with the GPS antenna
facing up. Do not cover the GPS antenna. See adjacent
photo for example.
2. Walk parallel to the boundary in both directions.
Gradually move closer to the boundary. The GPS 3.0
Mobile Collar Unit will activate when you reach the
Anti-Linger distance to the boundary. DO NOT touch
the contact points at this time!
Please note, this system utilizes GPS technology. The boundary
will be in a general area. Do not expect activation to occur at an
exact spot each time.
If the GPS 3.0 Mobile Collar Unit does not sound a warning
tone approximately where the Anti-Linger area is supposed to be, check the GPS Status LED. If
the GPS Status is RED, gently and continuously shake the Unit to start and maintain navigation.
Allow 1 minute for the GPS Status to turn Yellow/Orange or GREEN. Retest the Anti-Linger area. If
the GPS Status fails to turn Yellow/Orange or GREEN, immediately call your Invisible Fence Brand
Dealer for service. Use a leash (lead) or other means to contain your pet until all necessary service
has been completed
