Important Precautions

1. Read and retain manuals: Read the entire Owner’s Manual and training instructions before using your new Invisible
Fence® Brand pet containment system.

2. Train your pet according to the instructions in the Invisible Fence® Brand training manuals. Complete all steps before
allowing your pet to run free. Do not become overly confi dent if your pet has become conditioned to the Invisible Fence®
Brand pet containment system sooner than expected.

3. Adhere to all cautions and warnings contained in any Invisible Fence® Brand manual.

4. Do not attempt to service any Invisible Fence® Brand equipment. Refer all service to your authorized Invisible Fence®
Brand Dealer. Only your authorized Invisible Fence® Brand Dealer should make adjustments to your pet containment
system. Unauthorized service or repair will void the warranty.

5. All Invisible Fence® Brand pet containment systems are designed for domesticated animal use only. Never attempt to use
this product for any purpose not specifi cally described in this manual.

6. Check the Invisible Fence® Brand transmitter periodically to make sure it is operating properly. Please refer to the chart
on page 4 for proper fi tting instructions.

7. Check the tightness of the MicroLite™ Computer Collar® unit on a regular basis. Remove your pet’s MicroLite™
Computer Collar® unit each night. This will prevent the possibility of any irritation the collar may cause to your pet’s
skin. However, if this is not possible, please check the tightness of the collar each time you feed your pet by removing the
collar and then replacing it back on your pet. A condition called Pressure Necrosis, which is a devitalization of the skin
due to excessive and prolonged contact against the Correction Posts, may occur if the steps above are not followed.

8. If you have any questions about any aspect of your Invisible Fence® Brand pet containment system, call your Invisible
Fence® Brand Dealer immediately.

How the System Works

The MicroLite™ Computer Collar® unit is compatible with 700/800 Series Transmitters and Shields®/IFA-12 Indoor
units to contain your pet within areas you choose, or teach your pet to avoid specifi c areas such as fl ower beds, gardens, or
pools. The transmitter produces a signal that travels along the signal fi eld wire and back to the transmitter to produce an
Invisible Boundary® barrier.

When your pet approaches the established boundary, the MicroLite™ Computer Collar® unit generates a tone and correction
to remind your pet of the boundary. With training and praise, your pet will quickly learn to avoid the established boundary.

Note: A correction is a training term used to describe an action taken to discourage unwanted pet behavior. The MicroLite™ Computer
Collar® unit applies a correction when your pet crosses the boundary of an Invisible Fence® Brand electronic pet containment system.
Corrections are used in combination with rewards to alter unwanted pet behavior.

Your Invisible Fence® Brand pet containment system will only work when:

a. The transformer is connected to the transmitter and to a functional standard electric outlet, via an approved Lightning

Protection Device. All Invisible Fence® Brand pet containment systems must be grounded per the National Electric

Code to be protected against lightning (North American customers only).
b. The transmitter is on, connected to the signal fi eld wire, and producing a signal along the entire length of the wire.
c. The signal fi eld wire is intact, continuous, and the transmitter’s Status Indicator light is blinking green.
d. The MicroLite™ Computer Collar® unit is correctly fi tted and worn by your pet. The MicroLite™ Computer Collar®

unit must be adjusted so that both of the correction posts touch your pet’s skin.
e. The Power Cap® unit in the MicroLite™ Computer Collar® unit is good and correctly installed. See page 4 and 5 for

proper Power Cap® unit operation.

About Thunder and Electrical Storms: Even though your Invisible Fence® Brand pet containment system is equipped
with a Lightning Protection Device (North American customers only)., it is still possible that it may be damaged during a
thunderstorm, or when an electrical storm is in the area. After a storm has ended, check the signal fi eld width. See page 6
for periodic maintenance checks.
