User Manual

Bases is at the same relative height throughout the home, the intersection of the 3 spherical signals is known as trilateration.
As the Controller moves along the flag line, the Master Base records each trilaterated point of your wireless fence, thereby
memorizing the location of the entire fence. This process of memorization is known as event stamp mapping. It is also used
to record the location of Exclusion Zones. These enhancements comprise the core of the patented elements that provide an
unparalleled level of technical sophistication in the wireless dog fencing industry.
How it Works:
The Custom-Shape Havahart
®
Wireless System has the following key components: a Wireless Collar, a Controller and 4 Bases.
Each component contains an advanced transceiver that enables constant communication with each of the other components.
The Wireless Fence Tracker allows you to see the location of your wireless Fence Boundary and all System components. It also
aids in the installation and testing of your Fence Boundary. After accessing the the Wireless Fence Tracker on line , you use the
Controller to add each Base to the System. This allows the Bases to begin communication with each other and establish their
positions relative to one another. The Bases are represented by antennas on the Wireless Fence Tracker Screen. The Bases track
the position of the Controller wherever it goes. This allows you to create virtually any shape of wireless fence. With the Controller
in hand, you walk around your property to record your Fence Boundary. The Controller is represented by blue circles on the
Wireless Fence Tracker screen. After you have finished recording, your new Fence Boundary will be represented by a green line
on the screen of your Wireless Fence Tracker. The Bases will track the Controller again if you record Exclusion Zones.
After a Collar had been added to the system and fitted to
your dog, the Bases will track the real-time location of your
dog as it moves around in the Roaming Area. The Collar
will be represented by red circles on the Wireless Fence
Tracker screen. If your dog reaches the Fence Boundary or
an Exclusion Zone (a red circle touches the green line on
the Wireless Fence Tracker screen), the System will send a
command to the Collar to take action and correct (tone or
static - based on user settings). The green fence line on your
Wireless Fence Tracker will turn red if your dog breaches
the Fence Boundary. The correction is not constant. It is a
repetitive pulse. The Collar will correct your dog until one of
the following two conditions is met:
1. Your dog returns back into the Roaming Area. The
system then returns to normal operating mode.
2. The Collar’s Safety Time-Out Feature stops the correction cycle after 30 seconds. The red fence line on the Wireless Fence
Tracker will turn yellow when this happens. After the correction cycle times out, your dog will NOT be corrected for
returning to the Roaming Area. The Collar will revert to normal operating mode only when your dog is back inside the
Roaming Area. The yellow fence line on the Wireless Fence Tracker will also revert to green . After that, the Controller will
not send another correction command until your dog moves back to the Fence Boundary or an Exclusion Zone.
This first-of-its-kind, cutting-edge Custom-Shape Wireless Dog Fence gives you the advantage of allowing your dog to go to
the edge of your property while keeping him safe and out of designated areas.

Key Definitions:
Roaming Area: Area inside the Trigger Zone where your dog is free to roam and play. Capable of forming a Custom-Shape of up
to 500 feet in any direction.
Trigger Zone: The zone, which may be 6 to 13 feet wide, located at the edge of the Roaming Area that forms the fence
boundary. Correction is triggered by your dog crossing into the Trigger Zone which can be set to Tone Only (auditory alarm) or
static correction. The speed of your dog as he crosses the Trigger Zone will influence where the correction is delivered inside the
Trigger Zone.
Exclusion Zone: This is a targeted area where you wish to restrict your dog’s access, such as a large flowerbed, pool or patio. It
must be at least 12 feet by 12 feet wide. Also each zone cannot be located within
20 feet of another zone, Fence Boundary or Base.
Controller: Auditory alerts and the touch screen provide
intuitive navigation for setting up, activating and
managing your fence with ease. The
Controller houses a state-of-the-art
transceiver that enables
communication with the system. It will
notify you if your dog breaches the Fence
Boundary, if there is a problem with any of
the fence components or if the Battery life of the
Collar is running low. The Controller can manage up
to 2 Collars.
Bases: The system features a Master Base and 3 additional
Bases. Each Base houses a state-of-the-art transceiver that enables
the Bases to work together to determine the location of your dog while
in your yard.

Wireless Collar: The comfortable, water-proof Collar houses a state-of-the-art
radio transceiver with advanced antenna assembly, a rechargeable RCR123 battery, and two correction Probes.
The Collar communicates continuously with the Bases to track the real-time location of your dog. The Collar can be
programmed to Tone Only (auditory correction) or one of 5 different static correction levels. The default correction level is
Tone Only. The Havahart
®
Wireless Collar features exclusive Integrated Motion Sensor Technology, which allows the Collar to
go to sleep when it is not in motion to conserve and optimize Battery life.
The Technology Behind the System:
The Custom-Shape Wireless Dog Fence is driven by nanoLOC TRX 2.4 GHz transceivers that have been enhanced with
complex algorithms, strategic distortion filtering and modular signal amplification to deliver advanced time-of-flight-ranging
technology and precision event-stamp mapping. Time-of-flight is the time it takes for a signal to travel from a Base to the
Collar and back at the speed of light. By continually ranging or communicating to the Collar to determine the time-of-flight,
each Base is able to track the real-time distance to your dog. When radio signals are sent from the antennas of the Bases,
they propagate in a spherical manner. At least 3 Bases providing 1 common point of intersection between 3 of their spherical
radio signals are needed to accurately pinpoint the real-time location of the Controller or the Collar. Because each of the
