per charge in the initial stages of use. Once the pet has learned the
boundary, a battery charge should last two to three weeks or more on
average. Battery life between charges is highly dependent on your pet’s
behavior. Some pets will always require shocks to remind them where
the boundaries lie. Others will avoid the boundary completely. When
your pet is past the training phase we suggest you recharge on a xed
schedule. Choose an interval that is about half the time it takes for the
battery to discharge to it’s LOW indication. It is better to recharge before
the battery discharges to the LOW condition.
FITTING THE COLLAR TO YOUR DOG’S NECK
With the ON/OFF switch in the ON position, attach the collar around the
pet’s neck. Face the collar down and adjust the belt size to securely
press the SHOCK PROBES against the skin of the pet’s neck. Do not
over tighten or choke the dog, but make sure the probes are in constant
contact with the skin. Otherwise the shock may become intermittent and
confuse your dog. Good training requires consistent stimulus. Once the
strap is adjusted to a good t, you may cut off the excess strap length.
BOUNDARY WIRE
Even the boundary wire used on your X-10 system is unique. The
copper alloy wire and insulating coating are all made specially to our
custom specications. We have designed it to be an efcient radio
frequency broadcast conductor, with a mechanically strong core and an
extra thick, extra tough, outdoor grade insulation that resists sunlight and
moisture. If you need to expand your boundary eld, it is acceptable
to purchase standard 18 or 20 gauge “hardware store” quality wire.
However, we recommend that you use our custom wire to insure the best
quality and performance at the best value pricing. Boundary extension
kits are available from www.hitecpet.com and contain a 500 foot spool of
wire, 50 extra boundary ags and 2 improved waterproof wire splices. To
