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 Indoor Micro Shields® Solution.
• Adhere to all warnings and cautions contained in any Invisible Fence®Brand manual.
This is the safety alert symbol. It is used to alert you to potential personal injury hazards. Obey all safety
messages that follow this symbol to avoid possible injury or death.

is used to address safe use practices not related to personal injury.
WARNING
• 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®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.
CAUTION
• Read and follow the important instructions on how to avoid pressure necrosis in your Invisible Fence Brand
Computer Collar®Unit manual.
• 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 has become conditioned to the
Invisible Fence Brand pet containment system sooner than expected.
• Important: To ensure your pet does not receive an unintended correction, make sure your pet is not wearing the
Computer Collar unit when turning ON or adjusting the Indoor Micro Shields transmitter.
• Check the Invisible Fence Brand transmitter periodically to make sure it is operating properly. To do this, simply
bring the Computer Collar Unit to the edge of the containment field to verify function.
• The transmitter has visual and audible signals to warn of a system malfunction. The transmitter should be
installed where such signals may be easily seen and heard. If the transmitter is installed by the customer in an
enclosed box, or in a place not readily accessible to the customer, the customer will not benefit from the system’s
warning functions, for which Invisible Fence, Inc., as well as Invisible Fence Distributors and Dealers, assume no
responsibility.
• Do not attempt to service any Invisible Fence Brand equipment. Refer all service to your authorized Invisible
Fence Brand Dealer. Only your authorized Invisible Fence Brand Dealer should make adjustments to your pet
containment 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.
• The Indoor Micro Shields solution gives you control over the areas a pet or pets have access to inside your home.
It is designed to work independently or to complement your Invisible Fence® Brand 800 Series and/or Boundary
Plus® digital electronic pet containment system. The Indoor Micro Shields transmitter is designed for indoor use
only. For information on or about Outdoor Shields® products, please contact your local Invisible Fence Brand
dealer or visit us at www.invisiblefence.com. This device is not designed to operate as a containment transmitter.

How the System Works
Indoor Micro Shields® Transmitter
The transmitter is the heart of the system. It is
placed in areas you want to protect from your
pet, or protect your pet from. The lightweight,
portable design is easy to use and powered
by a rechargeable battery pack. You may use
the included AC adapter for locations near an
electrical outlet. The AC adapter is also used for
charging the transmitter. The transmitter sends
a signal field up to 4 feet in diameter or as a 2
foot radius. Your pet wears a Computer Collar®
unit that detects areas you have protected and
delivers a correction when your pet enters those areas.
The Transmitter has Three Control Buttons:
• Two for controlling the signal field range (RANGE UP & RANGE DOWN). These buttons also
control power ON and OFF during normal use.
• One for use when programming the Computer Collar unit to the Indoor Micro Shields
transmitter. The LCD display shows the signal field range and Channel A, Channel B, or
Channels A and B mode.
AC Adapter
The AC adapter (RAC00-13701) is intended for long-term use or for recharging the Micro Shields®
transmitter. Use the AC adapter to charge the battery pack for a minimum of 4 hours prior to first use.
Note: A correction is a training term used to describe an action taken to discourage unwanted pet
behavior. The Computer Collar unit delivers a correction when your pet enters a protected area or
crosses the boundary of an Invisible Fence Brand system.

Operating Guide
Important: To ensure your pet does not receive an unintended correction, make sure your pet is not wearing
the Computer Collar® unit when turning ON or adjusting the Indoor Micro Shields® transmitter.
1. Charge the Indoor Micro Shields® Transmitter
• Lift the rubber cover protecting the charging jack located on the Indoor Micro Shields transmitter.
Connect the charger connector to the charging jack with the marked side facing up.
• Plug the AC adaptor (RAC00-13701) into a standard 120 volt wall outlet
• Allow the unit to charge a full 4 hours before initial use and after prolonged storage. A charge time of
2 hours is required after the initial charge for normal charging.
• When charging is complete remove the charger connector and replace the rubber cover.
• Battery life of approximately 30 days can be expected from a fully charged battery.
Note: Ensure the charger connector is inserted correctly into the Indoor Micro Shields® transmitter.
Insert the charger connector with the marked end of the plug facing up. If the charger connector is
plugged in backwards it could permanently damage the Indoor Micro Shields® transmitter and will no
longer work.
2. Turning On and O
• Turn on by pressing RANGE UP (+) button.
• Turn o by pressing RANGE DOWN (-) button until LCD no longer displays signal field range.

3. Adjust Signal Field Range
• Determine the desired location and the signal field range required (10 in/5 cm minimum radius up to
2ft/.61 m maximum radius)
• With the unit ON, press the RANGE UP (+) or the RANGE DOWN (-) buttons to increase or decrease
the signal field range. The first segment of the range indicator equals 10 in / 25 cm radius of signal
field. Each additional segment represents approximately 3 in / 8 cm radius of range.
• Once the range is set, place the Indoor Micro Shields® transmitter in the desired area.
2. Verify Signal Field Range
• Turn the Indoor Micro Shields transmitter ON.
• Holding the Computer Collar® unit at the height of your pet’s neck, start outside the range and move
slowly towards the Indoor Micro Shields transmitter. Do not touch the correction posts at this time.
• The Computer Collar unit will beep as it approaches the outer range of the signal field width set in Step
2. The beeping will be accompanied by a correction.
• If the Computer Collar unit fails to beep, see the troubleshooting chart found on page 10.
• Adjust range and/or relocate the Indoor Micro Shields transmitter until desired area is protected.
3. Changing the Channel Setting on the Indoor Shields® Plus Transmitter
1. Press and release the RANGE DOWN (-) button until no bars appear on the LCD.
2. Turn the unit over and remove the bottom lid by rotating counter-clockwise.
3. Locate the switch for the Channel (A), Channel (B)
and Channels (A+B).
4. Select the desired setting. Note: The Indoor
Micro Shields transmitter will not
enter into programming mode if this switch is
set to A+B. See Programming Computer Collar
unit on page 8.
5. Replace the bottom and turn clockwise until
the lid stops.
Note: Ensure the O-ring is in the top housing and seated in the
channel before replacing the bottom lid. Failure to do so may
allow moisture leakage and possible failure of the device.

MULTI-AREA AVOIDANCE
Your Indoor Micro Shields® Transmitter and the Computer Collar® unit are preset to operate on
Channel A (CH.A). For homes with two or more pets, this setting is usually sucient as long as
all pets are required to avoid the same protected areas like keeping all pets away from the trash,
o the counter tops o the sofa, etc. In some multi-pet homes, it may be desired to allow one pet
access to an area while denying access to another pet.
• When set to Channel A (CH.A), the Indoor Micro Shields® transmitter denies access to pets wearing a
Computer Collar unit programmed to Channel A. (Channel A is the default setting for the Computer
Collar unit.)
• When set to Channel B (CH.B), the Indoor Micro Shields transmitter denies access to pets wearing a
Computer Collar unit programmed to Channel B.
• When set to Channel A-B (CH. A and CH.B), the Indoor Micro Shields transmitter denies access to all
pets wearing a Computer Collar unit.
Programming the Computer Collar® Unit
1. Prior to programming ensure all Computer Collar
units are removed from pets and are at least 3 feet
from the Indoor Micro Shields transmitter.
2. Follow procedure above, Changing the Channel
Setting on the Indoor Micro Shields Transmitter, to
select Channel A or Channel B for programing into
the Computer Collar unit. Note: The Indoor Micro
Shields transmitter will not enter into programming
mode if this switch is set to A+B. Turn the unit back
over and set it down on a flat surface.
3. Press and hold the PROGRAM button while lowering the Computer Collar unit from directly above
the Indoor Micro Shields transmitter.
4. Stop lowering when the Computer Collar unit begins to flicker yellow and release the PROGRAM
button on the transmitter when the Computer Collar unit begins to flash green.
5. The Computer Collar unit is now programmed to the desired channel.
6. Verify operation by turning ON the Indoor Micro Shields transmitter and listening for the Computer
Collar unit activation.
Note: Make sure any Computer Collar units you do not wish to program are more than 3 feet from the
Indoor Micro Shields transmitter or have the Power Cap® Battery removed. Do not perform this procedure
while the Computer Collar Unit is on a pet.
