Important safety and product information
This device can be used by children aged 8+ and also disabled people, sensory and mentally handicapped people or people without
knowledge or experience provided they stay under strict supervision or they have received sufficient instructions on how to use the
device safely, and potential risks have been evaluated. Children shall not play with the device. Cleaning and maintenance by user shall
not be done by children without surveillance.
Before using the collar, we strongly advise you to have your dog checked by your vet to ensure he is fit to wear a collar.
Do not use the collar with dogs that are not in good physical shape (i.e. cardiac problems, epilepsy…) or have behavioral problems
(aggressive dog…).
Check your dog’s neck regularly as repeated rubbing of the contact points against the animal’s skin may cause irritation. If this happens,
remove the collar until all signs of skin irritation have disappeared. Do not leave the collar more than 8 hours per day on your dog.
You can start using the collar with 6-month-old puppies that have already received some basic training (“stay”, “sit” or at least “no”).
The collar is equipped with 8 levels of static correction. Always start with the lowest level of static correction then define the level
from which your dog reacts by increasing gradually.
Do not hesitate to contact a professional trainer for any further advice.

● Foreword
The understanding between a dog and his owner has existed since a long time.
Nonetheless, a dog is often guided by his natural instinct and breaks the rules his master has taught him, causing complaints about straying and
damages such as: damage to flowerbeds, jumps into swimming pools, etc.
More seriously, he may be the victim or the cause of road accident.
The CLASSIC DOG FENCE pet fencing system is a modern and highly effective system enabling you to keep one or more dogs in complete
freedom within a perimeter, fenced or unfenced, you have defined.

● How the pet fencing system works
You can define your dog’s play area by installing a wire, called antenna wire, around the authorized perimeter. This wire placed on the ground,
buried or raised on an existing fence carries a radio signal from the transmitter.
When your dog, wearing a receiver collar, approaches this wire, he is warned by beep sounds that he is too close to an area where he is not
allowed; then if he carries on, static correction will be emitted by the collar. Your dog will have to leave the unauthorized area to stop the static
correction and beep sounds.
An unlimited number of receiver collars can be used with one transmitter: you can keep as many dogs as you wish safely in the same area.
The CLASSIC DOG FENCE pet fencing system has been designed to give you complete satisfaction with an antenna wire with a maximum
length of 1500 Ft. If a longer antenna wire is used, the pet fencing system will still work, but the warning and static correction zones will be
markedly reduced.
● Installing the pet fencing system
Transmitter
The transmitter must be installed indoors in a dry location: the transmitter can withstand changes in temperature but will be damaged by water.
Install the transmitter in a garage or garden shed near an electrical outlet.
Antenna wire
For the system to operate, the wire must be connected to the transmitter and form a continuous loop from the transmitter and back again. The
outward and inward wires must be spaced 6 Ft apart to avoid cancelling the signal.
20 AWG or 15 AG wire can be used (you can combine several wire sections).
The wire sections recommended depending on the length of the system are as follows:
for less than 1500 ft of antenna wire: 20 AWG
from 1500 ft to 2700 ft of antenna wire: 20 AWg
From the transmitter, unroll the wire around the perimeter you wish to protect. To run the wire from your garage or garden shed, pass it through
a window, door or similar.

The wire can be placed on the ground, buried (maximum: 4 In deep) or fixed to a non-metallic existing fence or wall (best height: your dog’s
neck height). If you plan on burying the wire, make sure your installation is functioning properly before doing so. You can protect the wire by
running it through PVC pipe or a length of garden hose.
The wire must not be taut as variations in temperature may cause it to expand or contract. In the corners, do not make right angles but prefer
rounded corners with a large radius.
Separate the wire by at least 6.5 ft from a metallic gate or one meter from a metallic fence.
Do not install the antenna wire near an electrical cable, telephone cable or satellite dishes.
In order to prevent any interference, do not run the wire within 10 Ft or parallel to electrical cables. If you must cross electrical wires, telephone
wires or television cables, do so at 90 degree angles.
If you need more than 500 Ft of antenna wire, you must connect the different lengths of wire using the supplied connectors (the wire does not
need to be stripped). You can purchase additional wire and connectors from your supplier at any time.
To ensure your dog does not receive any warning or static correction in certain areas (e.g. between the transmitter in the garage and the edge
of your property) you have to twist the outward wire around the inward wire. The twists prevent radio waves from being emitted (ref. Diagram
3).
Once the loop is completed and you are back to the transmitter, strip the two ends of the wire to connect them to the supplied transmitter
connector (connect each wire with each connector screw). Then, insert this connector into the antenna socket located on the transmitter (ref.
Diagram 1 – the connector is slanted. If you can’t insert it, turn it 1/2 turn).
Flags
The flags are a temporary visual aid for your dog during the training process. They enable your dog to visualize the area where he can move
freely and the boundaries he must not cross.
We recommend installing the flags at the inner edge of the warning zone at short intervals. Do not place the flags at the antenna wire.
Once your dog is familiar with the boundaries, the flags can be gradually removed.
Layout of your installation
Before starting the installation of your pet fencing system, it may be useful to draw a layout of the installation.
Once the installation is completed, note the location of the wire connectors on the layout you drew for future reference. In case of connection
default, you will find them more easily.
AUTOMATIC SYSTEM
As soon as the animal wearing a collar enters the
protected area, he is warned by beep sounds.
If he continues to move forward, towards the
antenna wire, the collar emits static correction.
The antenna wire is placed on the ground, buried
or raised on an existing fence.
For the system to function, the wire must form a
continuous loop.
Both wires (inward and outward) must be spaced
6 ft apart.

● Switching On/Off the transmitter
▪ Switch the transmitter On using the On/Off switch located on the left side of the transmitter. The green indicator light will come on
(cf. Diagram 1).
▪ Switch the transmitter Off using the On/Off switch located on the left side of the transmitter. The green indicator light will go out (cf.
Diagram 1).
● Activate/deactivate the CLASSIC DOG FENCE receiver collar
▪ Activate: connect the transmitter to the power supply by plugging the AC adapter into the power jack on the transmitter and into a wall
outlet. The green indicator light on the transmitter comes on, the transmitter is On.
▪ Deactivate: disconnect the AC adapter from the wall outlet. The green indicator light on the transmitter goes out, the transmitter is
Off.
NOTE: do not connect the transmitter to the power supply before connecting the antenna wire to the antenna socket. The wire break alarm
would alert you to a connexion default (ref. § Safety features – wire break alarm).
● Fitting the battery in the receiver collar
Unscrew the 4 screws of the battery cover using a screwdriver.
Insert the battery (3V Lithium CR2) paying attention to follow
polarity indicated on the battery housing.
A beep sound is emitted indicating the correct installation of the
battery. If you do not hear any beep sound after having inserted
the battery, remove it immediately from its housing. Check the
polarity before trying again.
Before putting the lid back in place, check that the rubber seal is
in its groove.
Retighten moderately the 4 screws.
● Activate/deactivate the receiver collar
The supplied magnetic key allows you to activate/deactivate the collar.
▪ Activate: move the magnetic key towards the collar so that it comes into contact with the symbol
located on the collar, hold for 1 second (ref. Diagram 6). The collar will emit one beep sound and the
indicator light will flash in green indicating the collar is On.
▪ Deactivate: move the magnetic key towards the collar so that it comes into contact with the
symbol located on the collar, hold for 1 second (ref. Diagram 6). The collar will emit two beep sounds
and the indicator light will flash in red then go out indicating the collar is Off.
To increase the battery life, we recommend you to deactivate the collar if you are not using it for a long
period.
If your dog needs to leave the authorized area, you have to remove the collar or deactivate the transmitter by disconnecting it
from the power supply.

● Adjusting the boundary range: warning area and static correction area
Adjustment buttons on the transmitter enable you to increase or decrease the width of the warning and static correction zones depending on
the configuration of your yard and how the wire is laid.
The width of the warning zone is adjustable by using the central button located on the front of the transmitter (ref. Diagram 1).
The warning zone is adjustable from 1.3 ft to 20 ft (approx.) on each side of the wire.
A graduation from 0 to 10 helps you to define the width of the zone according to your needs (0 = approx. 1.3 ft – 10 = approx. 20 ft).
The static correction zone is adjustable by using the 3-position switch located on the front of the transmitter (ref. Diagram 1).
approx. 1 ft (on each side of the wire)
approx. 2.62 ft (on each side of the wire)
approx. 5 ft (on each side of the wire)
IMPORTANT
Detection distances vary depending on the length of antenna wire laid out on the property.
The widths indicated are approximate and vary depending on the configuration of each installation. The longer the antenna wire, the
narrower the zones.

● Testing the pet fencing system (boundary range)
Before releasing your dog into his play area, you need to physically evaluate the extent of the authorized zone. Make sure your dog has enough
space to move freely within the defined limits.
The wider the zones, the lower the escape risks. Therefore, you have to find a good compromise between zone width and freedom space.
In order to test the installation, proceed as follows:
Before doing so, make sure the receiver collar is turned Off (battery removed from its housing).
Fix each wire of the neon test lamp under each contact point (unscrewing them lightly and retightening them so as to pinch the test
lamp wires).
Turn On the transmitter and the receiver collar.
Set the warning and static correction zones on the levels that seem appropriate.
Stand at the centre of the authorized area holding the collar by the strap at the same height and orientation as if on your dog’s neck.
Then walk towards the edge of your property where the antenna wire is laid. At a certain distance from the wire, the collar should emit
beep sounds. Then, when you carry on, the neon test lamp should light indicating static correction are emitted. If you think the zones
are insufficient or too important, go back to the transmitter to modify the settings. Use the potentiometer to modify the width of the
warning zone. Use the 3-position switch to modify the width of the static correction zone. Check the new settings on your property. Test
the settings in a number of different areas of the installation to ensure that the functioning is constant.
When the zone setting is complete, walk all around the authorized area holding the collar by the strap at the same height and orientation
as if on your dog’s neck in order to check that there is no loss of signal.
Before disconnecting the neon test lamp, make sure the receiver collar is turned Off (battery removed from its housing).
WARNING: Do not test or adjust the system while the collar is on your dog.
● Adjusting the and static correction level
8 and static correction levels (modes) are available on each CLASSIC DOG FENCE collar so you can adjust the product to your dog (size,
sensitivity, temperament).
In the factory, the collar is set on mode 4.
Always start with a low level of and static correction and define the level from which your dog reacts by increasing gradually.
The table below indicates how your collar operates according to the selected mode:
Number of beep sounds heard when
switching modes
Mode

To change the and static correction level, proceed in the following way:
When switching on the collar, keep the magnetic key in contact with the symbol located on the front of the collar (ref. Diagram 6).
After the beep sound indicating that the collar is on, a series of beep sounds is emitted (from 1 to 8) indicating the selected level. Levels
1 to 8 run through as long as you leave the magnetic key in contact with the symbol.
Move the magnetic key away from the collar as soon as you have reached the desired level. The collar will memorize your selected level.
Next time you will switch on the collar, it will be in the level you selected last.

● Safety features
The CLASSIC DOG FENCE pet fencing system comes complete with 3 safety features.
wire break alarm
If the antenna wire breaks or if a connection fails, the transmitter will alert you to this operating default by emitting continuous beep sounds.
warning zone evacuation feature
After approximately 20 seconds of continuous presence in the warning zone, your dog will be signalled to leave the zone by th e emission of a
few short and static corrections (stimulation level depending on the selected mode).
and static correction zone evacuation feature
If your dog remains in the and static correction zone for approximately 20 seconds, the CLASSIC DOG FENCE collar stops emitting and static
corrections. The normal functioning resumes when your dog leaves this zone.
● Checking and replacing battery of CLASSIC DOG FENCE receiver collar
To check the condition of the battery, observe the indicator light located on the front of the receiver collar:
flashes slowly green: battery sufficiently charged
flashes quickly red: weak battery. Be prepared to replace battery.
Replace the battery by following the procedure indicated above (see § Fitting the battery in the receiver collar).
EYENIMAL advises to use the same type and same brand of batteries as those supplied in your new purchased product. Other brands of
batteries may not operate, or may not be completely compatible with your product.
You can purchase the suitable batteries from EYENIMAL or from your distributor.
Due to greater use during your dog’s training, the first battery may not last as long as replacement batteries. Battery life depends on how often
your dog tests the boundary.
● Changing the contact points
Two different series of contact points are supplied. The length of the contact points must be sufficient to have proper contact with the dog’s
skin, enabling the device to operate correctly.
If you have a long-haired dog and the short contact points fitted to the collar in the factory are inadequate, remove and replace them with the
long ones supplied with the kit.
Carefully tighten them manually (do not use a key).
● How to check that your pet fencing system is functioning properly
You can check that your pet fencing system is operating correctly at any time:
Before doing so, make sure the receiver collar is turned Off (battery removed from its housing).
Fix each wire of the neon test lamp under each contact point (unscrewing them lightly and retightening them so as to pinch the test
lamp wires).
Turn On the transmitter and the receiver collar.
Walk up to the antenna wire holding the collar by the strap at the same height and orientation as if on your dog’s neck. At some distance
from the wire depending on the settings, the collar should emit beep sounds then, as you get closer to the wire, the test lamp should
light up. Your product is functioning properly.
- 8 -
Before disconnecting the test lamp, make sure the receiver collar is turned Off (battery removed from its housing).
● Fitting and positioning the collar
Fitting and positioning are very important. In fact, these settings determine the correct operation of the product (straying detection,
transmission of the and static corrections).
The position of the collar around the neck of the dog should be in the following way: the CLASSIC DOG FENCE label is visible and is not in
contact with the breast of the dog.
To achieve best results from your system, the strap must be adjusted so that the contact points are in contact with the skin of the dog.
If the strap is too loose, the collar is likely to move and repeated friction can irritate the skin of your dog.
If the collar is too tight, the dog will have breathing difficulties.
If necessary, replace the short contact points with the long ones supplied with the kit (ref § Changing the contact points).
Do not leave the collar more than 8 hours per day on your dog. Check your dog’s neck regularly. If irritations appear, remove the collar
until all signs of skin irritations have disappeared.
● Getting the best results
The performances of your pet fencing system will be optimal if you follow these recommendations before each use:
Make sure the collar battery is sufficiently charged: its condition affects the proper functioning of the collar. At temperatures below
32°F, the battery is less effective than at room temperature.
Make sure both contact points are properly tightened on the collar.
Check the good fit and position of the collar on the neck of your dog.
● Starting out with the pet fencing system
You can start using the collar with 6-month-old puppies that have already received some basic training (“stay”, “sit”, or at least “no”).
Do not use the collar with dogs that are not in good physical shape (i.e. cardiac problems, epilepsy) or have behavioural problems (i.e.
aggressive dog).
Your dog will need to get used to the collar, for a few days let the dog wear the collar but do not turn it On.
Closely watch your pet during the first days’ use.
Do not rush
So that your dog quickly makes the connection between the and static correction and his bad behaviour, his attention must be attracted
by first warning him with the beep sounds.
The flags enable your dog to visualize the area where he can move freely and the boundary he must not cross.
Give your dog plenty of encouragement
Let your dog make is training alone to start with. After the and static correction, as soon as he learns to obey and turn back, he should
be patted; he will understand more quickly and his desire to obey will increase.
Do not leave your dog unattended with the collar on until he is used to wearing it and you are satisfied that it is working correctly. You
should ensure that the and static correction level is adjusted correctly for your dog.
When your dog has fully understood the connection between the and static correction and is bad behaviour, you can get on with your
own jobs, but continue to praise him at other times to reinforce his grasps of the concept of obedience.
● Cautions for use
- 9 -
Before using the pet fencing system, we advise you to have your dog checked by a vet to ensure it is fit to wear a collar.
During thunderstorms unplug the transmitter power unit from the power outlet and especially disconnect the antenna wire
connector from the antenna wire socket.
The CLASSIC DOG FENCE receiver collar is totally waterproof.
The transmitter is not waterproof and must be installed indoor in a dry location (for example garage or garden shed): it can withstand
temperature changes but will be damaged by water.
The system activates automatically as soon as the dog enters the unauthorized zone. However, despite the product’s excellent
reliability, it may be set off unintentionally.
To avoid unintentional triggering, your dog should not wear a tag, metallic collar, or any other collar together with the pet fencing collar.
Do not place or keep the unit in places exposed to high temperatures.
Carefully check that your pet fencing system operates properly if it has not been used for some time.
Do not adjust or test your product (boundary width, and static corrections level) while the collar is on your dog.
The collar should not be worn inside the house.
The pet fencing system is a virtual boundary; you cannot consider it as a solid, fool proof barrier for all dogs.
Each animal reacts to static and static corrections and to training in a different way. Therefore, EYENIMAL cannot guarantee that your
dog will stay, in all circumstances, within the perimeter you have defined. There always will be a risk of escape. Instinct can overcome
training especially when outside distractions tempt your dog (cats, other dogs, balls, bikes, neighbors …).
Your dog’s temperament may not be compatible with the product. Do not hesitate to contact a vet or professional trainer for any further
advice.
Keep your pet fencing system out of reach of children.
In order to maintain water tightness, we recommend the replacement of the seal located in the receiver collar every year.
Remove the battery from the receiver collar if you are not using the product for 3 months or more.
Never leave a discharged battery in the receiver collar: leakage could damage your product.
● Maintenance
Avoid cleaning the collar with volatile liquids such as solvents or cleaning fluids. Use a soft cloth and neutral detergent.
The strap can be washed with soapy water.
In order to maintain water tightness, we recommend the replacement of the seal located in the receiver collar every year.
● Troubleshooting
Should your pet fencing system develop a fault, first read this guide over, then check the collar battery and replace it if necessary. Also
check that you are using the product correctly.
Check the fit and tightness of the collar on your dog’s neck. Make sure the contact points are in contact with the animal’s skin. If
necessary, replace the short contact points by the long ones.
Make sure the contact points are correctly tightened on the collar.
Check the wire connection to the transmitter.
Check the transmitter power supply.
Check that the On/Off switch is in the “On” position (green indicator light on).
If you encounter any problem of detection distances, check the condition of the wire and of the connections (oxidation, nick in the wire).
Reinitialize the collar by removing the battery. Wait a few minutes and then put the battery back in place, making sure to follow polarity
indicated in its housing. Carry out a check as described in the § How to check that your pet fencing system is functioning properly.
