Components AC Adapter A B Indoor Shields® Plus Transmitter Owner’s Manual HOW THE SYSTEM WORKS Indoor Shields® Plus Transmitter The transmitter is the heart of the system. It produces a signal that communicates with your pet’s Computer Collar® unit to keep your pet away from unwanted areas. The signal can be delivered from the transmitter either through a wireless sphere or through up to 150 feet of wire.
Operating Guide Important: To ensure your pet does not receive an unintended correction, make sure your pet is not wearing the Computer Collar® unit when turning ON or adjusting the Indoor Shields® Plus transmitter. 1. Charge the Indoor Shields® Plus Transmitter • Lift the rubber cover protecting the charging jack located on the Indoor Shields® Plus transmitter. Connect the charger connector to the charging jack with the keyed side facing down.
WIRELESS OPTION 1. Adjust Signal Field Range • Determine the desired location and the signal field range required • Wireless: 1.5 ft. minimum radius up to 6 ft. maximum radius • With the unit ON, press the RANGE UP (+) or the RANGE DOWN (-) buttons to increase or decrease the signal field range. The first indicator equals 1 ft. radius of signal field. Each additional segment represents approximately 6 inches radius of range. A B 2.
WIRED OPTION You can create a signal field using up to 150 feet of boundary wire (14 - 20 gauge). The recommended wire can be purchased from your local Invisible Fence® Brand dealer. Visit www. invisiblefence.com to find an authorized dealer in your area. 1. Signal Field Wire Preparation • When using the wire option it will be required to start at a minimum range setting of 2 segments. A setting below 2 segments will not produce a signal field great enough to be received by the Computer Collar® unit.
3. Test the Signal Field • Start with the range set to minimum of 2 segments and adjust the range up to 6 segments to get your desired coverage. There is a 1 ft. minimum radius and up to a 5 ft. maximum radius. • Holding the Computer Collar® unit at the approximate height of your pet’s neck, start outside the signal field and walk slowly towards the boundary wire. Do not touch the correction posts at this time. • The Computer Collar® unit will beep as it approaches the outer range of the signal field.
Multi-Area Avoidance Your Indoor Shields® Plus Transmitter and the Computer Collar® unit are preset to operate on Channel A (CH.A). For homes with two or more pets, this setting is usually sufficient as long as all pets are required to avoid the same protected areas like keeping all pets away from the trash, off the counter tops, off the sofa, etc. In some multi-pet homes, it may be desired to allow one pet access to an area while denying the same access to another pet. • When set to Channel A (CH.
Troubleshooting • Indoor Shields® Plus Transmitter does not appear to work • • • • • • Operating the Indoor Shields® Plus transmitter in direct sunlight may cause the LCD to overheat and turn completely black.
