Specifications

Test Light: The test light allows you to test the receiver. Hold
the test light over the contact posts as shown in Figure 3 and
carry the receiver into the signal field a few feet from the
ground. When the receiver picks up the signal from the
boundary wire, the audible warning will sound and the test
light will come on when you enter the correction zone.
Status Light: Both the R7 and R8 include a status light
to help you with the operation of your receiver.
• Start-Up:
When you first insert the battery into your receiver, the
status light will flash. This indicates that the receiver has
started properly. In the event that the lights do not flash,
check the battery to be sure that it has been inserted
properly (see Page 4).
• Correction Level Indicator:
When programming the correction level of your receiver,
the status light will flash green (in conjunction with the
audible beeps) the number of flashes will equal the
correction level you have chosen.
• Signal Field Indicator:
When testing the receiver in the signal field the status
light will flash green when the receiver is in the audible
zone and will flash green
and red when the receiver is
in the correction zone.
• Battery Replacement Reminder:
The status light will flash red
approximately every 10 seconds when it is time to
change the battery. Each time you change your battery it is important to reset the
“Battery Reminder” feature.
T
o reset the receiver:
1. Remove the old battery.
2. Using your test light, hold the magnet in the programming position (without a
battery in the receiver) for 30 seconds to fully discharge the unit. If you have
misplaced the test light, let the receiver sit for 5 minutes without a battery.
3. Insert a new battery and the Reminder feature will automatically reset for 6
months for the R7 or 24 months for the R8. (See page 4 for proper battery
insertion.)
FastReact™Time
The DogWatch R7 and R8 receivers offer the fastest reaction time available in a pet
containment receiver. If your dog were to run full speed to the boundary, the DogWatch
receiver would react - and correct - within .125 (1/8) seconds.
User Programmable: When you combine the transmitter “Rate” and the receiver train-
ing levels, you can customize the receiver to one of 12 training settings, as outlined in
the chart on page 8.
For example: If the receiver is on Level 1 and the
Transmitter Rate
is on Level 1, your dog is receiving the lowest level of correction and the least number
of pulses per second.
