Key Deﬁnitions:

Roaming Area: Area between the Controller and the Trigger Zone where your dog is free to roam and play. Capable of

expanding the fence radius from 40 feet up to 400 feet.

Trigger Zone: The zone, which may be 3 to 6 feet wide, is located at the edge of the Roaming Area. The Collar will correct at a point within this Zone. These points strung together create your Fence Boundary. Correction is triggered by your dog crossing into the Trigger Zone and can be set to Tone-Only (auditory alarm) or Static correction. The speed at which your dog crosses into the Trigger Zone will inﬂuence where the correction is delivered.

Controller: Auditory alerts and the LCD screen provide intuitive navigation for setting up, activating and managing your Fence. The Controller houses a state-of-the-art transceiver and displays the real-time distance to your dog. It will notify you if your dog breaches the Fence Boundary, or if the Battery life of the Collar is running low. The Controller can manage up to 2 Collars.

Havahart® Wireless Collar: The Collar houses a rechargeable RCR123 Battery, two correction Probes and a state-of-theart radio transceiver with advanced antenna assembly. The Collar communicates continuously with the Controller to track the location of your dog. The Collar can be programmed to Tone-Only (auditory correction) or one of 5 different Static correction levels. The default correction level is Tone-Only. Use Long or Short Probes depending upon the thickness of your dog’s coat. The Havahart® Wireless Collar features Motion Sensor Technology, which allows the Collar to go to sleep when it is not in motion to conserve Battery life.

The Technology Behind the System:

The Radial-Shape Select Havahart® Wireless Dog Fence is driven by two nanoLOC TRX 2.4 GHz transceivers that have been enhanced with complex algorithms, strategic distortion ﬁltering and modular signal ampliﬁcation to deliver time-of-ﬂight ranging technology. These enhancements allow the Radial-Shape Select Havahart® Wireless Dog Fence to provide an unparalleled level of technical sophistication in the Wireless Dog Fencing industry.

How it Works:

Both the Havahart

Wireless Collar and the Controller contain nanoLOC TRX 2.4 GHz transceiver chipsets that send and receive radio transmissions from their associated antenna pairs like 2-way radios. When radio signals are sent from the antennas of either component, they propagate in an omni-directional or spherical manner. The ranging process continuously captures, ﬁlters and reﬁnes data that yields the distance between the Havahart® Wireless Collar and the Controller.

This enables the system to track the location of your dog. When the user-deﬁned Fence radius distance is reached inside the Trigger Zone, the Controller sends a command to the Collar to take action and correct (tone or static — based on user settings). The correction is not constant, but cyclical. The Collar will correct your dog until one of the following two conditions is met:

1. Your dog returns back into the Roaming Area. The System then returns to normal operating mode.

2. The Collar’s Safety Time-Out Feature stops the correction cycle after 30 seconds. After the correction cycle times out, your

dog will NOT be corrected for returning to the Roaming Area. The Collar will revert to normal operating mode only when your dog is back inside the Roaming Area. After that, the Controller will not send another correction command until your dog moves back into the Trigger Zone.

Getting Started

www.HavahartWireless.com

The most important step in setting up your Radial-Shape Select Havahart® Wireless Dog Fence is determining the proper location to mount the Controller. Choose a location inside the home on an exterior wall nearest the center of the desired circular containment area (see Factors Affecting Signal Strength on Page 8).

The following are sample layouts for your reference:

Your Fence Boundary/ Trigger Zone should NOT be closer than 20 feet to ANY ROAD, SIDEWALK OR THOROUGHFARE FOR YOUR DOG’S SAFETY.

IMPORTANT MESSAGE

Before you begin the installation process, be sure to check the following:

• Make sure that you have all system components ready and available.

• Insert a fully charged Battery into the Collar.

• Commit to properly training your dog.

QUICK CHECKLIST

Flag Calculator: You should have 1 ﬂag for every foot of your fence radius distance. If you have a 90 foot

radius, you will need 90 ﬂags to enclose your Roaming Area.

Planning Your Wireless Fence Boundary:

Factors Affecting Signal Strength

Various objects can interfere with the signal strength of your Wireless Fence. This can result in a gradual loss in the measured distance of the radio signal from the Controller to the Trigger Zone. The part of the Trigger Zone that is obstructed by an object may dip or bow inward toward the Controller or create a criss-cross. The resulting shape of the Trigger Zone may be slightly different than a perfect circle and the Roaming Area may be slightly reduced. When this happens, the object between the Controller and the set Trigger Zone is said to attenuate the radio signal or the Trigger Zone.

Obstacles that can slightly obstruct any wireless signal include: mirrors, microwaves, home appliances, electric power meters, air conditioning units, metal screened porches, metal downspouts, trees, large bushes, above-ground pools, sheds and sloping hills.

Objects that will cause considerable obstruction are aluminum siding, densely wooded lots and heavily landscaped properties.

The closer an obstructing object is to the Trigger Zone or the closer a metallic object (such as a mirror) is to the Controller, the greater the interfering effect it can have on the Trigger Zone. Likewise, the more dense an obstructing object is, the more severe the dip or shaping effect of the Trigger Zone.

It can be very difﬁcult to predict the exact amount of interference different objects can cause and how the Trigger Zone and Roaming Area will be affected.

Despite all of the measures Havahart® Wireless has taken to boost the signal strength of the Controller, attenuation is difﬁcult to totally prevent for any Wireless Fence System. Similar to the way buildings attenuate cell phone reception, your home will likely attenuate your dog’s Roaming Area. In most cases the resulting dipping should be a minor issue that may not even be noticed.

In the event that your System experiences severe interference or attenuation with which you are not comfortable, there are a few things that you can try to counter or lessen the effects:

• Place the Controller above or at least 3 feet away from appliances and other large metal objects like mirrors inside the home.

Also make sure there are no obstructing objects, such as an electric power meter, near or immediately outside the wall where your Controller is placed. The fewer the number of objects that the Controller’s signal has to go through to reach the outside, the better.

• It may be necessary to choose a different location within the home for the Controller. Raise the Controller to 6 ft off the

ground, or to a higher ﬂoor of the home.

• Expand the Fence Boundary by increasing the Fence radius on the Controller.

Should you need additional help to minimize wireless signal interference for your Havahart® Wireless Dog Fence, please call 1-800-800-1819, Option 453.

To attach using the removable wall-mount adhesive strips:

• Once the Controller location is determined, gently clean the

wall surface with isopropyl rubbing alcohol, wipe gently and let dry. DO NOT USE household cleaners (see Figure 1.0).

• Separate adhesive strips (if still connected) at the perforation.

• Peel the liner from the back of one of the strips and attach it

vertically to the middle of the Controller with the release-tab pointed upward toward the antennas (see Figure 1.1a).

• Connect another strip to the strip on the Controller by

pressing the fasteners of both strips ﬁrmly together until they snap. The release-tab on the other strip should point downward away from the antennas - the opposite direction of the release-tab of the strip on the Controller (see Figure 1.1b).

• Peel the liner from the back of the second strip and attach it

to the wall with the release-tab facing downward toward the ﬂoor and the Controller antennas facing upward toward the ceiling (see Figure 1.2).

To remove the adhesive strips:

• Pull the Controller gently from the wall by disconnecting

the fasteners. DO NOT pull the strips off the Controller or the wall.

• Start with the strip on the wall. Press one hand on the top of

the strip. Use your other hand to pull the release-tab slowly down against the wall stretching it at least 12 inches until the strip releases. Repeat for the strip attached to the Controller (see Figures 1.3a & 1.3b).

Setting Up the Controller

Installing & Activating the Controller:

1. Position the Controller inside your home on an exterior wall

nearest the center of your desired containment area. Make sure a standard 120V AC power outlet not operated by a light switch is nearby.

3. Plug the Controller into a nearby standard electrical outlet not

operated by a light switch.

NOTE: It is recommended to use the removable wall mount adhesive strips in the event that you later determine the Controller is not in the correct place and it needs to be relocated. If the strips will not work on the wall of your choice and you want to get a rough idea of where the Fence Boundary/Trigger Zone will exist before you attach the Controller to the wall, prop the Controller upright and as close to the desired ﬁnal position as possible.

Position the Controller at least 3 feet away from large metal objects and major appliances, as these items may reduce the size and affect the shape of your Roaming Area (see Factors Affecting Signal Strength on Page 8).

Establishing the Fence Boundary/Trigger Zone Distance:

1. Estimate the distance between the Controller and the desired

boundary location. This distance will be the radius of the Fence Boundary all the way around the Controller.

2. Set the radius on the Controller

• From the Setup Menu, select Fence Setup (see Screen 1.1 on page 13).

• Use the up/down arrow keys to scroll to the desired Fence radius

distance and press Enter (see screen 1.9). The minimum radius is 40 feet, and the maximum radius is 400 feet from the Controller in all directions.

• Select OK to save your settings.

3. Test the Trigger Zone

• To conﬁrm that the location of the actual Boundary is correct...

- Set the Collar to Tone-Only.

- Extend your arm down by your side and hold the Collar by the Battery Housing so that you can see the Collar Light (see Figure 1.5). Make sure that your body does not get between the Collar and the Controller as your body may affect the signal and cause the Boundary to shift inward (see Factors Affecting Signal Strength on Page 8).

- Walk toward the Boundary while gently moving the Collar until the Collar beeps and the Collar light ﬂashes red. To conﬁrm the Boundary location, step back until the Collar stops beeping and then walk forward in the same direction until the Collar beeps and the Collar light ﬂashes red again. If necessary, note how far from the desired location the actual setting is. Place a Flag at the Boundary location (see Illustration C). If you have to change the Boundary distance, you will know where your Boundary was and to where you are moving it. If the location is correct, place a Flag to start the Flag line of your Fence Boundary.

4. Adjust the Fence Distance on the Controller accordingly using

the instructions in Step 2 until the desired Boundary location is established.

Placing Training Flags:

Once your Boundary is established, it’s time to place the remaining Training Flags. Training Flags are critical for the effective training of your dog.

1. Repeat the process in Step 3 of Establishing the Fence

Boundary/Trigger Zone Distance by walking toward the Fence Boundary about 6 feet (2 paces) to the right of the previous Flag, verifying the Fence Boundary, placing a Flag, and then stepping back into the Roaming Area.

2. Repeat Step 1 until the entire containment area is surrounded

(see Illustration D).

NOTE : Consult the Flag Calculator on Page 7 to determine the number of Flags you need.

NOTE: These Flags represent the location of your Wireless Fence and will be used later to train your dog. Be sure that the Flags form an enclosed area and that your dog has safe, adequate entry to your house.

direct supervision.

2. Each time you take the Collar off your dog, look for any indication

of a sore or rash.

3. Should you ﬁnd any indication of a sore or rash on your dog, stop

using the Collar for a few days.

4. If the rash or sore exists for more than 2 days, consult your

veterinarian.

5. Wash your dog’s neck weekly with mild soap and a wash cloth

and then rinse clean.

6. Wash the Probes of the Collar weekly with mild soap and a wash

cloth and then rinse clean.

If you do not remove the Collar from your dog’s neck at least every 12 hours AND clean your dog’s neck and the Collar, Pressure Necrosis may occur which is a deterioration of your dog’s skin. It is caused by extended contact to the pressure of the Collar Probes combined with the oil and dirt that may accumulate on the Probes if not kept clean.

IMPORTANT MESSAGE

Fitting a Collar

To ensure the safe and effective operation of the system, it is important to make sure that the Collar is ﬁtted properly.

1. Be sure the Fence is turned off at the Controller (see

Turning the Trigger Zone Off/On on Page 15).

2. With your dog standing comfortably, position the Collar high

on your dog’s neck, underneath the chin with the Probes facing upward and centered on your dog’s neck. The Havahart® Wireless logo should be right side up when you look at your dog.

3. Make sure the Probes maintain contact with skin.

• Collar is factory-installed with Long Probes for thick or

long-haired breeds.

• Short Probes for short-haired dogs are included.

• To change the Probes, simply unscrew the Long Probes and

replace them. Be sure the rubber washer is between the Probe and the Battery Housing. Use your ﬁngers to tighten the Probes as far as you can. Do not over tighten.

4. Adjust the Collar to ﬁt snugly but not tightly. You should be

able to slide the tip of one ﬁnger between your dog’s coat and one of the Probes on the Collar. It should be a tight squeeze (see Illustration E). Separately, you should be able to slide one ﬁnger between the Collar Strap and the back of your dog’s neck.

5. Once the Collar is adjusted to the correct length, remove

the Collar and trim the excess Strap using scissors (see Illustration F). Bur n the end of the Strap with a match to prevent fraying.

The Collar should be snug enough so that it does not move when your dog moves.

To help prevent skin irritation, it is vetrecommended that you never leave the Collar on your dog for more than 12 consecutive hours at a time.

IMPORTANT MESSAGE

NOTE: It may be necessary to trim the hair on your dog’s neck

around the Probes to ensure reliable contact with your dog’s skin.

NOTE: If your dog is going to continue to grow or grows a long winter coat, leave extra room before trimming off the excess Strap.
