About Thunder or Electrical Storms

Even though your Invisible Fence system is

equipped with lightning surge protection, it is still

possible that it may be damaged during a thunder

storm, or when an electrical storm is in the area

where you live. For added peace of mind, you may

want to take the Computer Collar off your pet

before an electrical storm.

· Check Your Pet’s Safe Areas

After a storm has ended, check all of your pet’s

safe areas before you put the Computer Collar back

on him. Use the following procedure to make sure

that your system is continuing to work properly.

Hold the Computer Collar collar so that the

receiver is at about the same height and on the

same angle that it is when your pet is wearing it,

and move throughout his safe areas. This should

include all of the safe areas where your pet is

allowed to go, in your yard and in your home.

If the receiver sounds a warning when it is in a

safe area, DO NOT put the Computer Collar back

on your pet. Immediately call your local Invisible

Fence professional for service.

Use a leash or other means to contain your pet

until after the service has been completed.

· At Least Once a Month, and After a Thunder

Storm, Check the Width of Your Invisible Fence

System’s Signal Field

Always keep a note of the width of your

system’s signal field.

You only have to check the width of the signal

field from one place on the signal field loop wire.

Always check the signal field from the same place.

Take the Computer Collar off your pet. Follow

the instructions for checking the width of the signal

field on page 9.

If the receiver does not sound a warning where

the edge of the signal is supposed to be, or if it only

sounds a warning when it is closer to the wire than

the setting of the signal field, immediately call your

Invisible Fence professional for service.

Use a leash or other means to contain your pet

until all necessary service has been completed.

ICT 775 Transmitter Installation

Features and Functions

The operating frequency of the ICT 775 is fac-

tory set to 7K and cannot be changed.

An ICT 775 transmitter is designed for two dif-

ferent applications. The first is for a system that will

need a very large signal field wire. The ICT 775 is

designed for a system with a signal field wire that

will consist of 2,000 to 5,000 feet(610 to 1525m) of

signal loop wire, with up to 200 feet(61m) of twisted

pair. This transmitter will typically produce a signal

field from a 2,000 foot signal field loop that is a mini-

mum of 5 feet to a maximum of 25 feet(1.5 to 7.6m)

wide.

The second application that an ICT 775 is

designed for is to power a 3 sided system, using two,

8 foot(2.4m) grounding rods with an opening of up to

150 feet(45.74m), connected to up to 2,000 feet

(610m) of 12 gauge signal field loop wire, and up to

200 feet(61m) of twisted pair. In the three sided mode,

the ICT 775 will typically produce a signal field that

can be adjusted from 5 to 15 feet(1.5 to 4.6m) wide.

There is a loop type selector switch on the top,

left of the transmitter’s circuit board that must be set

to Normal, the UP position, for a system with a stan-

dard closed signal field wire, or to 3 Side, the DOWN

position, for 3 sided system operation.

There is one signal field wire connector on the

bottom, right hand side of the circuit board, and one

signal field adjustment knob to set and adjust the

width of the signal field.

The ICT 775 has a green LED that indicates

when the power is on, that the signal field wire is con-

nected to the transmitter, and that there is not a break

in the signal field wire. When the system is operating

as it should, in either mode, the LED is alternately ON

for 1 second and OFF for 4 seconds.

An ICT 775 has both visual and audible wire

break indicators. If the signal field wire is broken or

disconnected from the transmitter, the LED will be

green and stay ON without blinking and the

BreakAlert®will sound an alarm. The wire break

alarm is a rapid, continuous four beeps per second.

The LED will stay on and the alarm will sound

until the break is repaired, or the signal field wire is

reconnected to the transmitter, or all power to the

transmitter is turned off by unplugging the trans-

former from the 110vAC outlet and the transmitter,

and if the system has a backup battery, the battery is

also disconnected from the transmitter.

The ICT 775 transmitter has an internal battery

backup circuit that will automatically charge an exter-

nal 12vDC battery. With a charged 12v battery the

ICT 775 will continue to power the signal field wire if

there is a 110vAC electric power failure.

The ICT 775 has built-in, non-replaceable, loop

side lightning surge protection.

Removing the ICT 775 Cover

To take the cover off the transmitter, hold the base

of the transmitter in one hand and, using the thumb

and index finger of your other hand, gently compress

the top and bottom of the cover plate and remove it.

To put the cover back on, align the two tabs on the

top of the cover plate with the two slots, on the top of

the base, and slide the tabs into the slots. Lock the

cover in place by sliding the bottom tab of the cover

plate into the bottom slot in the base.

The Signal Field

Invisible Fence®transmitters produce a coded, low

power radio signal which travels from the transmitter,

along the signal field wire and back to the transmitter

to produce a Invisible Barrier®wall. This signal is what

activates your pet’s Computer Collar®receiver.

There is no hazard in touching or exposing the

wire because the wire carries only harmless low volt-

age electricity.

The ICT 775 system functions only when the sig-

nal field wire forms one continuous circuit. The signal

field is created where two sides of the wire are sepa-

rated and is cancelled where two sides are kept close

together or are twisted together. If there is a break in

the signal field wire, the signal field will be lost and

the system will cease to function.

ICT 775 Transmitter Installation continued

ICT 775 Transmitter Installation continued

Planning the Installation

Install the transmitter in a dry indoor location,

near a grounded 110vAC electric outlet that offers

easy access to the outside. A garage or basement is

usually the best location. If you are not sure whether

your outlets are grounded or not, contact your electri-

cian. To fasten the transmitter on a wall, use 3/4

inch(19mm), #8 or #10 pan-head sheet metal screws

through the four round holes in the base of the trans-

mitter case.

Caution: Never install a system

or any equipment, or service any

equipment, during a thunder or electrical

storm, or when a thunder storm

is near your area.

Caution: Before starting any work,

you must unplug the 12vAC

transformer and turn off the electric service

at the circuit panel.

All outdoor Invisible Fence pet containment sys-

tems are equipped with lightning surge protection,

which is designed to prevent damage to the transmit-

ter in the event of an electrical surge.

If the system is properly installed and grounded,

and is equipped with an Invisible Fence lightning pro-

tection device, Invisible Fence will repair or replace,

at our option, any transmitter, transmitter circuit

board, transformer, or lightning protector damaged by

an electrical surge for as long as the original owner

owns the system.

Before you connect the signal field wire, or

backup battery, or connect the transformer to the

transmitter, you must ground the system.

Connecting the Grounding Wire

to the ICT 775 Circuit Board

Put the grounding wire pin into the square screw

clamp marked EARTH on the transmitter circuit

board. Be careful not to push the pin too far through

the connector. The grounding wire pin must not

touch any other component on the circuit board. Use

a flat head screwdriver with a 1/8 inch(3.2mm) wide

blade to tighten the connector screw only enough so

that it is snug against the ground wire pin. Then

tighten the screw an additional 1/4 turn.

Note: DO NOT tighten the screw

more than a 1/4 turn when tightening

the grounding wire screw clamp.

Over tightening the screw that holds the

grounding wire pin may shear off or fracture

the EARTH ground connector and greatly

reduce the quality of the electrical connection.

A sound earth ground connection is essential

and required for lightning protection and

the safety of the system.

Caution: Never use a transmitter

when the EARTH ground connector

on the circuit board is partially sheared

or fractured.

Grounding Instructions to an Electric Outlet

Remove the screw that holds the cover on the

grounded 110vAC electric outlet. Put this screw

through the grounding wire ring terminal. Then put

the screw, with the ring terminal through the outlet

cover plate and screw it back into the outlet. The

grounding wire must be on the outside of the outlet

cover. If the cover plate screw is plastic, replace it

with a size 6-32 x 1/2 inch oval-head metal screw.

Grounding the System

IMPORTANT: During the grounding process,

make sure that the screw and the threads in the outlet

are clean. All foreign matter such as paint, corrosion,

grease, and dirt must be removed. There must be metal

to metal contact of the mating threads. Also, the under-

side of the screw head and ring terminal must be clean.

If the surfaces appear corroded, scrape, wire brush, or

sand each thoroughly, or replace them.

Caution: DO NOT make any sharp

bends in the grounding wire.

Grounding Instructions to a Ground Fault

Circuit Interrupter, GFCI Receptacle

Definition: A GFCI receptacle provides a func-

tion similar to a circuit breaker. When it detects a

ground fault in the circuit’s electric current the GFCI

trips and cuts the power. A ground fault is an abnor-

mal electrical condition which is not desirable.

1. Remove the outlet cover plate.

2. Remove the bottom screw holding the GFCI

outlet in the junction box.

3. Put the screw through the grounding wire ring

terminal.

4. Refasten the screw, with the ring terminal on

it, to the GFCI junction box and tighten it.

5. File a notch in the bottom edge of the cover

plate slightly larger than the diameter of the 12 gauge

grounding wire. Bend the wire to fit in the notch and

reattach the cover plate keeping the wire in the notch.

An external 12vDC battery connected to an ICT

775 transmitter will supply the power needed to keep

the Invisible Fence®system operating if there is an

electric utility power outage. A fully charged 12vDC

battery with a 5.0Ah(Amp hours) rating will power

the system for approximately 10 hours with the signal

field set to the maximum width. Conversely, the nar-

rower the signal field is set, the longer the battery will

continue to power the system.

Warning: Never connect a backup

battery to a transmitter while 110vAC

power is being supplied to the transmitter.

Before you connect the battery make sure

that the transformer is unplugged from

both the 110v outlet and the transmitter.

A backup battery should always be installed in an

Invisible Fence battery box. The box is made of corro-

sion proof, impact resistant ABS plastic to securely

hold the battery in place. It has integral, internal rein-

forcing ribs that add structural

strength and keep the battery level,

and is ventilated to prevent heat

buildup.

Warning: If an external

backup battery is left

unprotected or on the floor

or the ground, this may lead to

premature battery failure.

Install the battery box on the wall

near the transmitter. Hold the battery

box on the wall where you want to

fasten it and use the round holes

through the back edges of the box as a template to

mark the wall where you will drill the holes for the

fasteners.

Lace a 16 inch(40.6cm)

long zip tie through the two

holes in each side of the inside

front corners of the

battery box. The zip

tie should form a U

inside the middle of the box.

The outboard ends of the

two battery wires, the ends that

are connected to the terminals

on the battery, each have a spade quick-connect.

Connect the spade quick-connect on the RED

wire to the positive (+) terminal on the 12v battery.

ICT 775 Transmitter Installation continued

Installing a Battery Backup

Connect the spade quick-connect

on the BLACK wire to the negative

(-) terminal on the 12v battery.

Caution: Be careful not to reverse

the RED and BLACK wires when

you connect them to the terminals on the bat-

tery. The RED wire is positive(+) and

the BLACK wire is negative(--).

Slide the

battery into the

battery box.

The bottom of

the battery

should sit on

the internal

reinforcing ribs

on the bottom

of the box.

When the

battery is in the battery box,

cinch the zip tie tightly

around the battery to hold the

battery securely in the box.

Use 4, 3/4 inch(19mm),

#10 pan-head sheet metal

screws to fasten the battery

box to the wall.

After the battery box has

been fastened to the wall,

connect the battery to

the transmitter’s

circuit board.

Finish the installation

by feeding any loose wire

between the transmitter

and the battery box into the

hole on the back edge of

the battery box.

ICT 775 transmitters have a two position header-

connector that the plug holding the two leads from the

battery is plugged into. The rectangular connector has

two metal prongs and is labeled -- BATT +. It is

located on the bottom, left of the transmitter’s circuit

board between the LED and the 12vAC Power Jack.

The battery connector is designed so that the plug

that holds the two inboard ends of the wires that are

connected to the battery will only go into it one way,

making it nearly impos-

sible to reverse the bat-

tery wire connections

at the transmitter.

There is a replaceable, 2amp fast-blow fuse on

the bottom left side of the transmitter’s circuit board

to protect the transmitter and the battery. If the wires

are accidentally crossed when they are connected to

the battery, or if the plug is connected to the transmit-

ter incorrectly, the fuse will blow.

Batteries Recommended by Invisible Technologies,

Inc., are all 12vDC, 5.0Amp hours.

Warning: Only use one of the

approved lead-acid batteries.

Using a battery that is not lead-acid, or

a battery with a different voltage can damage

both the transmitter and the battery.

Note: The recommended 12vDC

lead-acid batteries have a five year

shelf life, and should be replaced,

whether they have been engaged often or not,

after that time.

Detecting Low Voltage in the Backup Battery

After a 12v battery is fully charged, a micro-

processor in the transmitter will automatically check

the battery’s voltage. If the voltage of the battery

ICT 775 Transmitter Installation continued

drops between 11vDC and 9vDC, the transmitter’s

BreakAlert®alarm will sound. The low battery alarm

will continue until 110vAC power is restored and the

battery voltage is recharged to greater than 11vDC.

The alarm is a single, one second beep that will sound

once a minute.

The LED on the transmitter that is green during

normal operation, will turn red indicating that there is

a 110vAC power failure and that the system is operat-

ing on 12vDC battery backup power. The red LED

will alternately blink ON for one second and OFF for

four seconds.

A fully discharged 5.0Ah battery will take five

times its projected operating time to completely

recharge. The battery will take about 50 hours to fully

charge. The transmitter automatically charges the

backup battery while the system is operating normally

on 110vAC power.

Note: How long it will take the battery

to recharge to 11vDC will depend on

how low the battery’s voltage has dropped and

how wide the signal field is. The lower the

voltage is and the wider the signal field is,

the longer it will take to recharge the battery.

Note: A battery will take five times its

rated operating time to fully charge.

A 5.0Ah battery will take about 50 hours

to charge to full power.

If the voltage of the battery drops too low to pro-

duce a signal field, the LED will not be lit.

Connect the twisted pair ends of the signal field

wire to the ICT 775. Strip about 1/4 inch(6.4mm) of

insulation off each of the two ends of the twisted wire.

Twist the exposed wire strands on each end of the

wires together to hold the strands together. You want to

make sure that a loose strand on one end of the wire

does not touch the other end of the wire, or or the other

opening in the wire connector, or any other component

on the transmitter’s circuit board.

Connect each end of the twisted pair to the ICT

775 signal field wire connector labeled LOOP.

Use your thumb to push back and down hard on

the white tabs located on top of the signal field wire

connector. While holding down the tabs,

put one stripped end of the twisted wire

into each of the openings in the connec-

tor. Either end of the wire may be put into

either opening. Hold the ends of the wire

in the openings and release the tabs. The

ends of the wire will automatically be

crimped into the wire connector.

Note: You will have to apply pressure

to push down the white tabs on the

connector; the connector will not break, so

do not be concerned about pushing too hard.

To remove the signal field wire from the connec-

tor, push back and down on the tabs on the connector

and pull the ends of the wire out.

Note: Before you turn on the power to

the ICT 775 system be sure that the

loop type selector switch is in the mode that you

will want it to be. Either the Normal position,

UP, for a closed signal field wire, or the 3 Side

position, DOWN for a three sided system.

Model 100-0018-01

Only use the model 100-0018-01, 12vAC trans-

former to supply the power to an ICT 775 system.

This transformer will supply the power necessary to

power the ICT 775. Specifications:

INPUT: 120vAC 60Hz 33.5W

OUTPUT: 12vAC 1667mA

UL/CSA CLASS 2 Transformer

UL listed/CSA certified

Warning: The model

100-0018-01 is the

only transformer authorized

by Invisible Technologies, Inc.

to be used to supply the power

to an ICT 775. The use of any

other transformer may result in

a malfunction of the transmit-

ter and the ICT 775 system.

When you turn on the

power to an ICT 775 transmitter, it will take the trans-

mitter up to 1 minute to stabilize. While the transmit-

ter is stabilizing the BreakAlert®alarm will sound.

After the transmitter has stabilized and the alarm has

shut off, proceed to set the width of the signal field

If the alarm continues to sound for more than a

minute, there is a problem with the signal field wire.

Caution: Always be sure to take

the Computer Collar®off your pet

before setting the signal field or making any

adjustment to your Invisible Fence®System.

Setting and Checking the Width

of the ICT 775 Signal Field

A signal field that is broadcasted out from the

signal field wire is what activates your pet's Computer

Collar receiver. The signal field can be set to various

distances from a signal field wire loop depending on

the layout and size of your property, and the tempera-

ment of your dog. The average setting of the signal

field is 6 to 10 feet(1.8 to 3m) wide.

Check to be sure that the transmitter is turned on

and that the loop type selector switch is set to the type

of system that you have. For a standard closed system

with a continuous signal field wire, the switch is set to

Normal, the UP position. For a 3 sided system, the

switch is set to 3 Side, the DOWN position.

The width of the signal field is set and checked

in exactly the same manner, whether for a standard

system with a closed signal field loop, or for a 3 sided

system.

The signal field adjustment knob is near the top

of the ICT 775 circuit board, it is surrounded by the

numbers 1 to 10. Turning the signal field adjustment

knob clockwise increases the width of the signal field

and counter clockwise decreases the width.

These adjustments do not

change the correction level of the

receiver, they only change the width

of the signal field from the signal

field wire loop.

Start by turning the signal field

adjustment knob to 5, the mid range.

Once again, wait up to 1 minute for the transmit-

ter to stabilize before you check the width of the sig-

nal field with a Computer Collar receiver. The

BreakAlert®may initially sound an alarm until the

transmitter stabilizes.

After the transmitter has stabi-

lized, check the width of the signal field

by holding a Computer Collar so that the

receiver is parallel to the loop wire. Hold the

collar so that the receiver is at about the

same height and on the same angle that it

will be when your pet is wearing it and

walk slowly toward the signal field

loop wire. The receiver will

sound a warning when it

is at the edge of

the signal field.

Note: A Computer Collar®receiver

has a fail safe mechanism.

The receiver will go through three complete

cycles of 10 seconds on and 10 seconds off

and then shut down. It will not reactivate

until it is taken completely out of the the

signal field, and is then brought back into it.

Make small gradual adjustments with the signal

field adjustment knob and check the width of the sig-

nal field after each adjustment.

After checking the width of the signal field, wait

1 minute before you change the setting of the signal

field again, and 1 more minute before checking the

width of the new signal field setting.

ICT 775 Transmitter Installation continued

CAUTION AND CARE

An Invisible Fence®Computer Collar

will not work unless:

1. You train your pet as prescribed in the

“Invisible Fence SafeDog®Training Manual”.

2. The Computer Collar is worn snugly on your

pet’s neck under the lower jaw.

3. The Computer Collar is adjusted so that the

receiver’s posts are touching your pet’s skin.

4. The Power Cap®battery in the Computer Collar

receiver is good and is correctly installed, see

“Changing the Computer Collar Receiver’s Power

Cap Battery” on page 11.

5. The transmitter is on, connected to the

signal field wire, and producing a signal field along

the entire signal field wire.

6. The signal field wire is intact and making a

complete circuit.

The following precautions should also be taken:

1. Always take the Computer Collar off

your pet before you make any adjustment

to your Invisible Fence system.

2. Gradually allow your pet to become accus-

tomed to its new Computer Collar. Take off the

collar every night during the first month and peri-

odically thereafter. This will ensure proper fit and

avoid the possibility of any irritation that the posts

may cause to your pet’s skin.

3. Check the Computer Collar near your tele-

vision set(s). Although the receiver has a decod-

ing circuit, some televisions may produce a

coded signal similar to the Invisible Fence signal

and may cause the receiver to activate when it is

close to a television.

4. DO NOT secure the correction

posts in the receiver with any

kind of glue or adhesive.

ALWAYS use the post

tightening tool to tighten

the receiver posts.

5. Check the transmitter periodically to

make sure that it is operating properly and pro-

ducing a signal field.

6. NEVER, under any circumstances, use

this product for any purpose other than that

stated in this manual. Invisible Fence systems are

designed for animal use only.

Features and Functions

Computer Collar receivers are water resistant,

microprocessor controlled units powered by a special

3v lithium Power Cap battery.

An R series Computer Collar can be usedwith all

ICT700 series, Invisible Gate®

, and IFA12 transmitters.

Computer Collar receivers are available with

Short, Long, or Short-Space receiver posts to fit dif-

ferent size dogs and work well with any type of coat

Computer Collar receivers can be fitted with

shunts to reduce the correction level of the

receiver for small pets who are shy or timid.

R21 v3 Series Receivers

The R21 v3 Computer Collar receivers have an

added feature. The v3

will beep once when a

Power Cap®battery is

installed. The beep indi-

cates that the micro-

processor in the receiver

is working and that the

Power Cap battery has

enough voltage to

ICT 775 Transmitter Installation continued

Computer Collar®Receivers

Short, Long, and

Short-Space Receiver Posts

power the receiver.

The three small circular indentations, equidis-

tantly spaced around the outer edge of the base that

supports the center battery contact in the receiver,

indicate that the receiver is an R21 v3 series

Computer Collar.

Fitting the Computer Collar

To work properly, the correction posts on the

Computer Collar receiver must touch your pet’s

skin. Posts are available in three different sizes to

ensure a proper fit for every pet: short, 1/2 inch;

long, 3/4 inch; and short-spaced posts. Adjust the

collar so it’s snug enough to slide one finger

between a post and your pet’s neck. The receiver

should be positioned underneath your pet’s neck

with the posts pointing up and the top of the

receiver pointing forward, toward your pet’s nose.

Periodic adjustment of the Computer Collar may

be necessary as your pet’s coat, weight and age

change.

Changing the Computer Collar Receiver’s

Power Cap Battery

The Power Cap battery is a replaceable 3v

lithium battery with a unique plastic screw cap. It is

very important for proper operation that the receiver

always has a good Power Cap battery installed. On

average, the battery should be changed every 3 to 4

months. But battery life can be reduced by several

variables, including lower temperatures, the number

of times a pet challenges the system

boundary, and the fit of the collar on

the pet’s neck. In cold weather, for

example, it may be necessary to

replace the battery more often. Your

Invisible Fence professional should rec-

ommend a schedule for regularly changing a

receiver’s battery. We recommend that you ask your

Dealer about a battery replacement plan.

Note: Invisible Technologies, Inc.

recommends that a customer subscribe

to a battery replacement plan where fresh

Power Cap batteries are mailed directly to them

on a regular schedule.

Your Invisible Fence professional can

determine the best schedule for you.

Warning: The use of any battery other than a

battery authorized by Invisible Technologies,

Inc. can cause a receiver to operate erratically. Failure

of the receiver due to the use of an unauthorized

battery, may result in denial of a warranty claim.

Invisible Fence®receivers are water resistant,

they are not waterproof. In particularly humid cli-

mates or when a dog has access to creeks, pools, etc.,

water may get trapped in the battery compartment. A

small rubber O-ring around the battery cap will mini-

mize water invasion, but if you think that the battery

compartment is getting wet, take the battery out of the

Computer Collar receiver when your dog is not wear-

ing the collar. This will allow the battery and the com-

partment to dry.

To remove an old Power Cap®battery from a

Computer Collar receiver, use a small, thin coin in the

slot on top of the battery and turn it counter clock-

wise. The battery will

rotate up and out

of the battery

chamber. Never

use a screwdriver to

remove or tighten the

battery because you may strip the plastic head on top

of the battery.

Note: Remember, before you put in a

new Power Cap battery, you must wait

Computer Collar®Receivers continued

Make sure that the Computer Collar is snug

enough for the posts to touch your pet’s skin.

Be sure that you

can still work

a fingertip

between the skin

and the post.

for a full five minutes so that the Computer

Collar receiver’s microprocessor has enough

time to recycle after the old battery has been

removed.

To install a new battery, line up the two lugs on

the bottom of the Power Cap with the two grooves in

the sides of the battery chamber. Gently put the Power

Cap into the chamber while turning it clockwise with

your fingers. Finally, use a small, thin coin in the slot

on the top of the battery to turn the battery clockwise

until the slot on the

top of the battery is

lined up with the

two small raised

tabs on the bot-

tom of the receiver.

When the new

Power Cap is in, wait 10 seconds before taking the

receiver into the signal field to give the receiver time

to recycle.

Failure to follow these directions exactly, may

result in the Computer Collar receiver not activating

properly. To maintain optimum performance, we rec-

ommend that you periodically test the battery.

Warning: The Power Cap battery case

is made of soft, protective material.

The use of unnecessary force may damage the

case and render the battery inoperable.

Warning: NEVER open a Power Cap,

dispose of it in fire, recharge it, heat it

above 212˚F(100˚C), or expose its contents to

water. Doing so can cause leakage or explosion

and may lead to personal injury.

Power Cap Battery Tester

We strongly recommend that each customer

obtain a Power Cap battery tester. At least once a

month, check the receiver battery with the Power Cap

battery tester to be sure that your pet will stay out of

areas that it is supposed to, and remain safely within

your Invisible Fence system.

The Power Cap battery tester measures the inter-

nal resistance of a Power Cap battery and shows how

much life is left in the battery.

To test a receiver battery with the Power Cap bat-

tery tester, remove the battery from the receiver and

Computer Collar®Receivers continued

put it into the Power Cap battery tester the same way

that you would put it into a receiver. If the battery is

good, the green and red LEDs on the tester will both

light. If neither LED

on the tester lights,

or just the red LED

lights dimly, the

battery needs to be

replaced.

Service Diagnostic Questions

Signal field wire is solid or stranded

copper, insulated wire, which carries a harm-

less radio signal. There is no hazard in touch-

ing or exposing the wire because the wire

carries only low voltage electricity.

Some installations are unique. The fol-

lowing measurements are guidelines for typi-

cal Invisible Barrier®signal field wire

installations.

Important Warnings

1. WARNING: Occasionally an animal

cannot be trained to avoid crossing the

Invisible Boundary ®

. Sometimes even a properly

trained animal may cross the boundary.

Therefore, Invisible Technologies, Inc, Invisible

Fence Distributors and Dealers cannot guarantee

that the system will, in all cases, keep Customer's

animal within the established boundary.

Accordingly, if Customer has reason to believe that

his or her animal may pose a danger to others or

harm itself if it is not kept from crossing the bound-

aries, Customer should not rely solely upon the sys-

tem to keep the animal from crossing the boundary.

2. WARNING: The control panel

component of the system includes visual

and audio signals to warn of a system malfunction,

and is therefore intended to be installed in a place

where such signals may be easily seen and heard.

If the control panel is installed in an enclosed box

or in a place not readily accessible to Customer,

Customer will forfeit the benefits of the system's

warning functions for which Invisible Technologies,

Inc., Invisible Fence Distributors and Dealers

assume no responsibility.

3. WARNING: Some persons claim that

the shock from an electronic receiver collar

can provoke an animal to become aggressive, and

possibly to attack or bite.

Customer is hereby warned to be alert for growling,

snarling, biting, or other aggressive behavior by any

animal using the system, especially during training.

If any such behavior is observed, particularly if it

appears to be associated in any way with the system,

Customer should immediately stop using the system,

unplug the transmitter, and contact your local

Invisible Fence professional or Invisible

Technologies, Inc. Reported incidents have typically

involved:

1) dogs with pre-existing aggressive tendencies;

and

2) other provocation at the time of the incident.

Reports to Invisible Technologies alleging

such incidents are rare, less than one in

10,000, or 0.01% of the time.
