IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
• The I-50 Series is intended for pet training only. Do not use this product for any other purpose.
• Please read the DogWatch
Owner’s Guide before starting installation
and training.
• Keep the receiver collar and transmitter out of reach of children.
• Never adjust the transmitter while your pet is wearing the receiver collar.
• Unplug the transmitter when the system is left unused for extended
periods.
• This product is for INDOOR USE ONLY.
I-50 SYSTEM SERIES
The I-50 series transmitters are designed to radiate a coded radio signal allowing you to protect a specific area or to be used with a boundary wire to protect multiple areas. The I-50 and I-50/4 transmitters operate with DogWatch AM (AR series) receivers. The I-50 FM and I-50
FM/4 SafeLink
®
transmitters operate with System 3000 receivers (see
chart on front page)
.
POWER
The solid green loop indicator light on the FM version and the blinking
green light on the AM version lets your know that the transmitter is operating. Simply plug the power supply into the transmitter jack labeled
“PWR”, and set the MODE switch to “INT”. (For multiple rooms, see
page 4 -
Transmitter with Boundary Wire.)
MODE
The I-50 series transmitter may be used as a stand-alone unit or with a
boundary wire for multiple avoidance areas. The MODE switch allows
you to choose your application. You cannot use both applications at the
same time. INT allows you to use the transmitter as a stand-alone unit.
EXT allows you to use the transmitter with boundary wire.
RANGE
The I-50 series transmitters send a coded radio signal (signal field). You
can adjust the distance that the radio signal extends from the transmitter or the boundary wire. Turn the knob to “
+” to increase the range and
“
-” to decrease the range. Always test the signal field before allowing
your pet near the avoidance area.
Never adjust the transmitter while
your pet is wearing the receiver collar.
TERMINAL CONNECTIONS
When using a boundary wire, strip and connect one end of the boundary wire to the terminal connections. This is the beginning of the wire
boundary system.
NOTE: Be sure MODE switch is set for EXT.
ADJUSTING THE COLLAR
Collar tightness is critical. All contact points must touch your dog’s skin.
If not, he will not receive a correction stimulation. A loose collar will also
allow the contact posts to rub back and forth on the skin, possibly causing irritation. Use care as over-tightening the contact posts could cause
damage to the receiver.
The receiver collar should be removed each day to allow your dog’s skin
to gradually condition itself to the contact posts. Failure to follow this
procedure could lead to skin irritation and possible infections.
YOUR DOG’S RESPONSE TO STIMULATION
Electrical stimulation has been a safe and effective part of dog behavior
conditioning for over twenty years. All dogs respond differently when
they feel mild electrical stimulation.
Some dogs may demonstrate little, if any, reaction, while others may
yelp and/or jump back. Some dogs “freeze.” Do not try to comfort him
after he receives electrical stimulation or you will reinforce his anxiety.
PLEASE REMEMBER
• Adjust the collar and test the battery regularly.
• Keep the contact posts clean.
