Setup and Installation
Follow these steps to correctly install the RFA-67 replacement battery into your compatible pet fence collar.
- Remove Old Battery: Locate the battery compartment on your pet's fence collar. Depending on your collar model, you may need a coin or a flat-head screwdriver to twist the old battery counter-clockwise until it unlocks and can be removed. Dispose of old batteries responsibly.
- Insert New Battery: Take a new Premier Pet RFA-67 battery. Align the battery with the compartment, ensuring the arrows on the battery match the indicators on the collar or compartment.
- Secure Battery: Gently press the new battery into the compartment and twist it clockwise until it is securely locked into place. You should feel a slight click or resistance, indicating it is properly seated. Do not overtighten.
- Test Collar: After installing the new battery, test your pet's collar according to its specific instruction manual to ensure it is functioning correctly. This typically involves checking for indicator lights or performing a test shock (if applicable and safe to do so, following collar instructions).
Note: Always refer to your specific pet fence collar's instruction manual for detailed battery replacement procedures, as designs may vary slightly.
Operating Instructions
Once the RFA-67 battery is correctly installed, your pet's fence collar should resume normal operation. The battery provides the necessary power for the collar's receiver to detect the boundary wire signal and deliver static correction or tone warnings as programmed.
- Indicator Lights: Many collars have an LED indicator light that shows battery status. A solid green light typically indicates a good battery, while a flashing or red light may signal a low battery or other issue. Consult your collar's manual for specific light patterns.
- Battery Life: The lifespan of the RFA-67 battery varies depending on usage frequency, pet activity, and environmental conditions. Regular monitoring of the collar's battery indicator is recommended.
Maintenance
Proper maintenance ensures optimal performance and longevity of your RFA-67 batteries and the associated fence collar.
- Regular Checks: Periodically check the battery compartment for any signs of corrosion or moisture. Ensure the battery is securely seated.
- Storage: Store unused RFA-67 batteries in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Keep them in their original packaging until ready for use.
- Disposal: Dispose of depleted batteries according to local regulations. Do not incinerate or expose to high temperatures.
Troubleshooting
If your pet's fence collar is not functioning correctly after replacing the battery, consider the following:
- Collar Not Activating:
- Ensure the new RFA-67 battery is inserted correctly and twisted securely into place.
- Verify that the battery is not depleted (check the collar's indicator light, if available).
- Confirm the collar is turned on, if it has an on/off switch.
- Intermittent Operation:
- Check for loose connections in the battery compartment.
- Inspect the battery contacts for dirt or corrosion and clean if necessary.
- Ensure the boundary wire is intact and not damaged.
- Short Battery Life:
- Ensure you are using genuine Premier Pet RFA-67 batteries.
- Extreme temperatures can affect battery performance; avoid leaving the collar in very hot or cold environments.
- If the issue persists, the collar itself may require service.
