Important Safety Reminders Important Safety Reminders To ensure the safe and effective operation of your Radial-Shape Wireless Dog Fence, please read and follow all safety guidelines and instructions: s The Radial-Shape Wireless Dog Fence is designed for dogs older than 6 months that weigh more than 8 pounds. s The Controller must be installed indoors and should not be exposed to moisture (e.g. rain or snow). s The Controller must be plugged into a properly grounded 120V AC outlet.
System Components System Components Model 5134G Ensure that the following components are included with your system. If a component is missing, please call 1-800-800-1819, Option 1.
Key Definitions, Technology & How it Works Key Definitions, Technology & How it Works Key Definitions: Roaming Area: Area between the Controller and the Trigger Zone where your dog is free to roam and play. Capable of expanding from 40 feet up to 400 feet in all directions. Trigger Zone: The zone, which may be up to 13 feet wide, located outside the Roaming Area that establishes the fence boundary.
Key Definitions, Technology & How it Works How it Works: Both the Havahart® Collar and the Controller contain nanoLOC TRX 2.4 GHz transceiver chipsets that send and receive radio transmissions from one another like 2-way radios. When radio signals are sent from the antennas of either component to the other, they propagate in an omni-directional or spherical manner.
Getting Started Getting Started IMPORTANT MESSAGE Plan Your Wireless Fence Boundary: The most important step in setting up your Havahart® Radial-Shaped Wireless Dog Fence is determining the proper location to mount the Controller on a wall. The system creates a circular boundary that can extend from 40 feet up to 400 feet in all directions from the Controller. Choose a wall inside your home nearest the center of the desired circular containment area. This is where you will install the Controller.
Getting Started QUICK CHECKLIST Before you begin the installation process, be sure to check the following: s Make sure that you have all system components ready and available. s Insert a new battery in the Collar. s Read the Quick Setup Guide and watch the instructional DVD. s Commit to set aside time to properly train your dog.
