AWARNING
• Underground cables can
carry
high voltage.
Have
all underground cables marked before you
dig
to
bury
the
boundary
wire. In most areas, this
is
a free service.
Do
not install, connect
or
remove
your
system
during a lightning storm. If the storm
is
close enough for you to hear thunder,
it
is
close enough to create hazardous surges.
•
To
avoid
risk
of
severe injury,
follow
all
safety instructions
for
your
power
tools,
and
wear
safety
goggles during
use
.
•
Turn
off
power
to
outlet before you install
or
remove
your
Surge Protector.
•
Risk
of
electrical shock
or
fire. Use the Surge Protector only with a duplex outlet with center screw.
Attach the unit with long screw supplied.
•
If
it
is
rechargeable, the battery should
be
charged in areas with temperatures ranging from
32
° F
to
113
° F / 0 °C to
45
°C. Recharging the battery outside
of
this temperature range can cause the
battery to overheat,
explode
or

ACAUTION
•
Wire
on
top
of
the ground
may
be a trip hazard.
Be
careful when placing wires and testing
the
system
.
•
Do
not install the surge protector if there
is
not
at
least
30
ft. ( l O
m)
or
more
of
wire between the
electrical outlet and electrical service panel.
CAUTION
• Before you begin installing the Boundary
Wire
, turn the transmitter off.
•
If
using a YardMax® product,
do
not change the transmitter setting from Traditional mode
(B)
to YardMax® mode (A) without verifying that the receiver
collar
will still contain your pet.
If
the
receiver collar fails the
ReadyTest
® startup, the receiver
collar
is
automatically turned off. Your pet
will not be contained.
• Avoid damaging the insulation
of
the
loop
wire; damage may cause areas
of
weak
signal and
lead to failure
of
the
boundary
.
NOTICE
• Plug the Surge Protector into a grounded (3-prong) outlet that
is
within 5 feet
of
the Fence
Transm
itter. ALWAYS
use
a grounded (3-prong) outlet to ensure maximum protection.
•
Do
not
remove the ground prong from the Surge Protector plug.
Do
not
use
a
3-prong
plug
to 2-prong outlet converter. Doing so will make the Surge Protector ineffective against surges
or
spikes.
• Veri
fy
that the bou
ndary
loop
and Transmitter wires connect to the
proper
Surge Protector
terminals.
Rever
sed
co
nnections will result in an increased risk
of
surge related
damage
.
•
When
mow
ing
or
trimming
your
grass,
use
care not to cut the
boundary
wire.
•
To
protect the transmitter,
di
sconnect the
boundary
wire
and
unplug the
power
adapter
from the
outlet when
th
e
sys
tem
will
not
be
used for
long
periods
of
time
or
prior
to thunderstorms.
This
will
prevent
pow
er surges from damaging the transmitter.
