DOGNESS Rechargeable Pet Shock Mat

Introduction

The DOGNESS Rechargeable Pet Shock Mat is designed to assist in training pets by creating a safe, temporary barrier. It emits a harmless static pulse and a warning sound when touched, deterring pets from entering restricted areas such as furniture, countertops, or specific rooms. This manual provides essential information for the proper setup, operation, and maintenance of your pet shock mat.

Setup

Before initial use, ensure the device is fully charged. The mat is powered by a rechargeable battery.

1. Charging: Connect the mat's control unit to a 5V1A to 5V2A charger using the provided USB cable. Allow the battery to fully charge before first use. The battery life indicator on the control unit will provide charging status.
2. Placement: Unroll the mat and place it flat in the desired area where you wish to deter your pet. Ensure the mat is positioned securely and does not pose a tripping hazard.

Operating Instructions

The DOGNESS Pet Shock Mat features simple controls for effective pet training.

1. Power ON/OFF: Press and hold the power button on the control unit for 3 seconds until you hear a beep. This activates the mat. To turn off, repeat the process.
2. Select Shock Level: The mat offers three training modes: Low (L), Medium (M), and High (H). Press the selector button to toggle between these levels. Choose the appropriate level based on your pet's size and sensitivity.
   • Low (L): Suitable for small cats and dogs.
   • Medium (M): Recommended for medium-sized dogs.
   • High (H): Designed for large dogs.
3. Functionality: When a pet steps on the mat, the wires trigger a harmless static pulse and a warning sound. This trains pets to avoid the area. The mat automatically deactivates after 5 consecutive shocks to prevent over-correction.
4. Testing the Mat: A test pen is included to verify the mat's proper functionality. Use the test pen to confirm the static pulse is active, eliminating the need to test with your hand.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your DOGNESS Pet Shock Mat, consider the following:

• Mat Not Activating: Ensure the mat is fully charged. Check the battery life indicator on the control unit. If the battery is low, recharge it.
• No Static Pulse: Verify the mat is powered on and the desired shock level is selected. Use the included test pen to confirm functionality. If still no pulse, ensure the mat is dry and free of debris.
• Pet Not Reacting: Adjust the shock level to a higher setting if your pet is not responding to the current level. Ensure the mat is placed in an area where the pet is likely to make full contact.
