Petsafe Innotek UltraSmart Contain ‘n’ Train In-Ground Fence - Manual (Page 8)

PerfectFit ™ test
When you remove the collar from the charger, the system
will run through ReadyTest™ for about 8 seconds, and
then enter PerfectFit™ mode (blinking amber light). You
have approximately 90 seconds to fit the collar to your dog
as described below. As the unit makes successful skin
contact, it will emit a quiet but audible click. After 5
consecutive clicks, you have positive confirmation of the
correct fit.
Should you not fit the collar within 90 seconds of removal
from the charger, it will operate without the PerfectFit
™ Test.
Fitting the Collar on your Dog
The collar strap should fit snugly
towards the top of your dog’s neck
with the collar electronics on the
bottom of the neck. Check that the
INNOTEK
® logo is right-side up. You
should be able to get one finger
between the collar strap and your
dog’s neck. The contacts must make contact with the
dog's skin for proper operation. A little hair thinning may be
required.
Occasionally, check the
tightness of the skin contacts
to ensure they will not be lost
from the collar.
Lost
components are not covered
under your warranty.
Trim excess strap along the
diagonal score marks. You’ll
want to leave several inches
of excess strap. Note if your
dog is young and you expect him/her to grow, you’ll want
to leave extra strap to adjust the collar fastening.
Replacement straps are available.
Over-Stimulation Prevention – In the unlikely event that
your dog “freezes” in the pet fencing field, this feature
limits stimulation duration to 10 seconds.The system locks
out further stimulation for 10 seconds before resuming
stimulation for another 10 seconds. This pattern will repeat
for a maximum of three cycles, a duration of 60 seconds.
Run-Through Prevention – This INNOTEK ® system
includes a unique "run-through" prevention so that your
dog cannot escape the pet fencing field without activating
a strong stimulation. The collar automatically increases the
stimulation when your dog continues more than 1/3 of the
way through the pet fencing field, regardless of the
transmitter stimulation level setting. For example, if the
signal is detected 3.5m from the wire and your dog enters
the pet fencing field, this feature is activated when he is
approximately 2.5m from the wire. At this point, your dog
automatically receives the highest level of stimulation.
The pet fencing wire must form a complete loop from the
transmitter.
Although the pet fencing wire is only buried 3-8cm, make
sure you contact your utility companies to mark
underground cable and wire locations before you dig. In
most communities, marking the utility lines is a free
service.
DO NOT run a wire within 3m or parallel to cable TV, phone,
or electrical lines. The signal can couple together, causing
inadvertent collar activation in the house and safe parts of
the yard. You can minimize interference by crossing
perpendicular to these lines. See Quick Step 1 illustration.
For your dog’s safety, we recommend keeping the pet
fencing wire at least 3m from the street. Keep in mind that
you will want to place the wire where there is room for an
3-4m pet fencing field from the buried wire.
