OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

INTRODUCTION

Congratulations on your purchase. The Havahart Fence Free Pet Containment
Systems can help you safely and effectively train your dog to stay within the
boundaries you set. Havahart is committed to caring control of pets and wildlife,
and all of our products are designed to enhance the relationship between animals
and people. Through effective use of Havahart canine products, our goal is to help
strengthen the bond between dogs and their owners.

The Havahart Fence Free Pet Containment Systems have proven to be effective for
all types of dogs, ages 8 months and above: we do not recommend using the
system for containing puppies. In order to enjoy the full benefits of the product,
you’ll need to spend time installing the system and training your dog to respond to
it. While each training session can be easily worked into your daily routine and
should be short – just 5 minutes or so – consistency is the key to success. This
initial investment in time and energy will result in long-term rewards: security and
exercise for your dog and peace of mind for you!

Before you begin, it’s very important that you take the time to thoroughly review the
instruction manual, training guide, and training DVD. These materials have been
specially prepared in consultation with professional dog trainers to help guide you
though the installation and training process to ensure your successful long-term use
of the Havahart Fence Free Pet Containment System.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What should your expectations be?

Will the Fence Free System work for my dog?

It’s important to remember that every dog has a unique personality and responds
differently to stimuli. While there is no way to know how your dog will react to its
introduction of the training collar, Havahart products have proven effective for use
with dogs of virtually every size, every breed and every age, 8 months and older.
For the safety and security of you and your dog, initial training should take place in
a confined area where you have complete control over the situation. Please be
aware that dogs with aggressive behavior could turn on the trainer upon receiving
stimulus for the first time. If you believe your dog has aggressive behavior or there
is a history of such behavior, we suggest you contact a certified animal trainer
before using any Fence Free products.

How does the Fence Free System work?

The Fence Free and Fence Free Deluxe use state-of-the-art electronics to help you
train your dog to stay within the boundaries you set. Through training, your dog will
learn to recognize the boundary visually (aided by flags), through an audio tone and
a corrective electronic stimulus transmitted through the Fence Free dog collar.

When the dog reaches the edge of the boundary signal, you will hear a warning tone
that will last as long as the dog remains in the warning zone. If the dog moves away,
the tone shuts off. If the dog continues toward the boundary, the initial low-level
stimulus occurs.

The first time your dog receives a correction, normal reactions may be yelping or jumping.
These reactions will decrease as he/she becomes accustomed to the collar. You should
notice improvements in your dog’s behavior during the first week of training.

Is the Havahart Fence Free System safe?

The Havahart Fence Free Systems are safe and humane. To protect your dog and
yourself, please observe the following safety precautions:

• Never leave the collar on your dog for more than 12 hours at one time.

• Only use the Havahart® Fence Free System on healthy dogs, ages 8 months and
older. Consult your veterinarian before using the collar if your dog has health problems.

• Check collar fit each time you place collar on your dog– the collar must be

fitted properly to work effectively (see “Fitting the Collar”).

• Check dogs daily for skin irritation and do not use the collar if the skin is irritated.

• Always use the lowest stimulation possible to train your dog. On small dogs
(less than 8-10 lbs.) use Level 1.

B. Features of Havahart® Fence Free and Fence Free Deluxe

The following built-in features help increase the system’s effectiveness:

1. Run-Through Protection
If your dog continues toward the boundary, the stimulus will automatically
increase. It starts at the lowest level, after emitting a warning tone and increases
to the highest level (as set by the user) as the dog gets closer to the boundary.

2. Over Correction Protection
If your dog becomes “trapped” in the signal field, this feature limits stimulation. It
does this by not accepting any additional signal from the fence for 30 seconds;
therefore stimulation of your pet is stopped. The collar will automatically revert to
normal operation after this 30-second window.

3. Collar contains 5 Stimulation Levels - Comes Ready to Use, Preset at Level 1.

4. High Quality NiMH Rechargeable Batteries.

NOTE: The collar and hand held transmitter (supplied with the 5132 Fence
Free Deluxe) are powered by NiMH (nickel metal hydride) batteries. This high quality
battery doesn’t suffer any memory loss after repeated recharges. It will take a full
charge every time you recharge it for two hours. You can expect this battery to last
many years under normal use. In addition, under normal use conditions you can
expect the battery to hold a charge for many days. We do recommend that you
keep the collar battery fully charged by placing it on the charger whenever it’s not in
use. This assures peak sensitivity when the collar, fence and transmitter are
communicating with one another.

5. LED Indicator Light for testing delivery of stimulus.

6. UL Listed Components Included.

7. Product Meets FCC Part 15 Regulations* (5132 Only).
This device operates under part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the
following conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2)
this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may
cause undesired operation. Any modification to this device not expressly authorized
by Woodstream Corporation may void the user’s authority to operate this device.

To begin using your Havahart Fence Free Pet Containment System, you’ll need to
plan and install the system boundary wire, and to make sure that all the electronic
components communicate with one another. While the system has been designed
for easy installation, please allow adequate time to complete each essential step
as detailed in the following instructions.

1. DESIGN YOUR BOUNDARY

Using graph paper, select the areas of
your property in which you want to
contain your dog. Make a diagram to
help avoid obstacles or permanent
objects in your yard, and consider the
following:

• The boundary wire must make
a continuous loop to and from
the transmitter.

• Round the corners of boundary wire. Try to avoid sharp corners. This will produce
a more consistent signal field and avoid confusing your dog in these areas.

• The ideal signal field width is 4-5 feet for a total boundary width (both sides of
the wire of 8-10 feet.) Avoid making passageways too narrow or your dog may
be hesitant to use them.

• Contact your utility company to mark off utility lines (phone, electric, cable)
before you install your boundary wire.

• You need to stay 10 feet away from any neighbor’s underground fence to
ensure their signal does not interfere with yours.

2. INSTALLING THE WALL UNIT

Mount the wall unit on any interior wall near a standard 110-volt household outlet
with the enclosed screws. Plug the transmitter’s power adapter into your household
wall outlet and plug the other end into the transmitter. Press On/Off button. The
On/Off LED (top) should be on. The transmitter will withstand freezing temperatures,
but it is not waterproof and should always be installed indoors; for example in a
garage, basement or shed.

WALL UNIT FEATURES

• Lightning/Surge Protection – The wall unit includes a built in surge protector to
protect it against normal voltage spikes. However, your buried wire is a natural
“lightning rod.” Because lightning strikes are massive energy bursts and can
damage the unit, it is recommended that you unplug the wall unit and

disconnect the wires during storms, or install a stronger surge protector.

We recommend protecting your System with The Max® 2 Dog Fence Surge
Protector available through Panamax.com.

• Wire Connectors – Easy-to-use push release connectors let you quickly
connect or disconnect the boundary wire.

• Docking Station – Eliminate dead batteries and lost training time by always
plugging the receiver collar into the recharge port when not in use. To contain
2 dogs, use the Extra Dog collar Receiver, Model #5145.

• Field Width Keypad – The keypad controls the field width, this is the distance
from the boundary wire to where the receiver collar is first activated.
