User's Manual

9. Collar Bone: The Collar Bone, metal lock washers and contact posts fasten the

receiver to the nylon collar. (A Collar Bone is not used with the GentleFit™ posts)

10. Lock Washers: See #9 above.

11. Contact Posts: The receiver comes with a set of stainless steel contact posts

(stainless steel or composite with stainless steel tips.) Conductive plastic ‘GentleFit’™

contact posts may be purchased separately if preferred or if recommended by your

Dealer.

NOTE: Your DogWatch Dealer will determine the correct set based on your dog’s coat,

neck shape, and skin sensitivity. The posts must make contact with the skin in order

for the dog to feel the correction. In certain cases, your dealer may recommend

clipping some of the hair around the contact posts so that they can touch the skin

more easily. Use care if you ﬁnd it necessary to tighten the contact posts with the

collar wrench, as over-tightening could cause damage to the receiver.

FUNCTIONALITY FEATURES

Antenna:

The receiver’s omni-directional antenna design assures optimal reception

from the signal ﬁeld.

SafeLink

Digital FM Design:

Our patented FM design allows the SmartCollar to recognize and activate only to our

unique radio signal. This protects your pet from unintentional correction caused by stray

radio signals which may be emitted by other electronic devices.

AutoMemory™:

Our patented AutoMemory™ feature automatically adjusts the correction level of the

receiver when your pet challenges the boundary. When the receiver is set to one of the

AutoMemory levels, and the dog enters the signal ﬁeld, the dog will receive the correction

of the initial setting. If your dog leaves the signal ﬁeld, the receiver will automatically advance

the correction level setting by one, and only one level. If the dog does not re-enter the

signal ﬁeld within the next 24-hour period, the receiver defaults to the original setting. The

AutoMemory feature operates when your Receiver Training Level is set to 4, 5, or 6.

FastReact™ Time:

Whether your dog, strolls, runs or sprints into the Avoidance Zone, the receiver will react—

and correct—within 1/8 of a second (.125 sec).

Automatic Shutdown:

The DogWatch SmartFence is designed to protect your dog from an over-correction in

the unlikely event that your dog gets caught in the signal ﬁeld. If your dog does not exit the

signal ﬁeld, the receiver will automatically stop correcting after 15 seconds—protecting

your dog from over-correction. The receiver will automatically reset once the dog leaves the

signal ﬁeld.
