Setup

1. Transmitter Placement

Place the wireless transmitter in a central location within your desired containment area. Ensure it is elevated and free from large metal objects or appliances that could interfere with the signal. The transmitter's signal range is effective even through walls and trees, but optimal placement ensures a consistent circular boundary.

Figure 2: Transmitter placement and signal characteristics. The transmitter provides a strong signal for indoor use, does not affect people, can be used outdoors with portable power, and features rotating directional antennas for optimal coverage.

2. Collar Receiver Preparation

1. Charge the Receiver: Before first use, fully charge the collar receiver units using the provided USB charging cables. A full charge typically takes a few hours.
2. Attach Contact Points: Select the appropriate contact points (long for long-haired dogs, short for short-haired dogs) and screw them firmly onto the receiver.
3. Fit the Collar: Adjust the collar strap to ensure a snug but comfortable fit. The contact points must touch your dog's skin. You should be able to fit one or two fingers between the strap and your dog's neck.

3. Boundary Setting

The system allows you to set a circular invisible boundary from 1 to 31 acres, with a radius adjustable from 32 to 656 feet, across 9 distinct levels. Adjust the signal range using the dedicated buttons on the transmitter unit. Start with a smaller range and gradually increase it as needed, observing your dog's behavior.

Operating Instructions

1. Boundary Alarm Function

When your dog approaches the set boundary, the collar receiver will issue warnings in a preset sequence to guide them back into the safe zone:

• First Warning: Sound for 3 seconds → Vibration for 3 seconds → Static stimulation for 3 seconds → Pause for 5 seconds.
• Second Warning: Vibration for 3 seconds → Static stimulation for 3 seconds → Pause for 5 seconds.
• Third Warning: Vibration for 3 seconds → Static stimulation for 3 seconds → End.

2. Low Battery AI Smart Alarm & Out-of-Range Reminder

The transmitter continuously monitors the battery level of the collar receivers. If a receiver's battery is low, its number will be displayed on the transmitter screen, and an AI alarm light will flash to remind you to recharge. Similarly, if a dog approaches or crosses the boundary, the AI alarm light will flash, providing an immediate visual alert.

Figure 4: The transmitter displays the low battery status of the receiver. A flashing light on the transmitter indicates that a receiver is low on power, prompting timely recharging.

3. Static-Free Reentry System

This system incorporates a static-free reentry feature. If your pet crosses the boundary, they can return to the safe area without receiving further correction. This design reduces fear and confusion, encouraging your dog to re-enter the designated zone willingly.

4. 360° Strong Signal Coverage

The transmitter provides robust 360-degree signal coverage. Its strong penetration ability ensures the signal is not significantly affected by walls, houses, or neighboring trees in complex indoor or outdoor environments. The signal can adapt and change direction, ensuring reception at every angle within the set boundary.

Maintenance

1. Charging the Receiver

Recharge the collar receivers when the transmitter indicates a low battery level. Use the provided USB charging cables. Ensure the charging port is clean and dry before connecting the cable.

2. Cleaning

Regularly clean the collar receiver and contact points with a damp cloth. Ensure the contact points are free from dirt or debris to maintain proper skin contact and functionality. The collar receiver is waterproof, but avoid prolonged submersion or high-pressure water exposure.
