[. . . ] INNOTEK® UltraSmartTM In-ground Pet Fencing Systems IUC-4100, IUC-4200, IUC-5100, IUC-5200 Installation Manual Please read the entire manual before installing this in-ground pet fencing system. Introduction Thank you for purchasing this INNOTEK® UltraSmart® In-ground Pet Fencing System. This electronic dog fencing system is among the safest, most humane, and effective training products you can buy. Used properly, the collar receiver's electronic stimulation serves as an annoying sensation that your dog finds undesirable. Your dog quickly learns to shut off the stimulation by staying away from the fencing boundary. Once your dog is properly trained, he will enjoy hours of freedom within his new boundaries, and you will enjoy the comfort of knowing that he has learned to stay safely in your yard. [. . . ] You should be able to get one finger between the collar strap and your dog's neck. The contact points must touch the dog's skin for proper operation. Never shave hair from the dog's neck. You may need a straight-edge spade or a gas-powered edger for efficient installation. If your plan includes running the boundary wire across a driveway, you may also need a caulk gun, silicone caulking, and a circular saw with a masonry blade. Ensure system is turned off Set the transmitter's power switch to the OFF position and unplug the AC adapter from the AC outlet (or LP-4100). Bury the wire Make a trench 1" to 3" deep with a flat edge spade or gaspowered edger. A 30 to 45 degree angle cut will be the easiest to close and keep the wire in the trench. Make sure there is a little slack in the wire as you bury it to compensate for expansion and contraction due to temperature changes. Crossing Driveways, Sidewalks, or Water Concrete: Place the boundary wire in an expansion joint, or create a groove using a circular saw with a masonry blade. Place the boundary wire in the groove and cover with silicone caulk. Asphalt: When crossing an asphalt driveway, make a ½" to 1" deep cut across the driveway using the circular saw with a masonry blade. Place the wire in the cut, and seal with asphalt sealant. Gravel/Dirt Driveway: Make a trench and place the boundary wire in PVC pipe or a section of garden hose to protect the boundary wire. Water Features: When routing the boundary wire through water, use PVC pipe or a length of garden hose to protect the wire. Anchor the pipe or hose to the bottom with large rocks. 9 Train Your Dog Watch the included training DVD and follow the training steps outlined in the separate Training & Troubleshooting Guide. Your dog may respond immediately to the training, however, continue to follow the training instructions to fully train your dog. The convenience that your new in-ground pet fence offers, plus the added safety for your dog, are well worth the time invested. 10 Indicator Lights Place training flags Repeat Testing the Fence Boundary, outlined in Step 6. As soon as you hear the warning tone, place one marker flag at that spot (inside the boundary field). Repeat the process at 10' intervals around the boundary area. The flags will be your dog's visual clue to the boundary during training, and will be removed during the training process. You are now ready to begin training your dog. The tables on the back cover provide handy references for checking the status of the system and troubleshooting the transmitter and the collar receiver. Additionally, be sure to read the included "Training & Troubleshooting Guide. " IUC-5100 Contain `N' Train users ­ your collar receiver has 2 Status Indicator LEDs.

UltraSmart Pet Fencing Installation and Owner's Manual 11 Working With INNOTEK® ZONES® IUC-5200 This collar receiver is also compatible with INNOTEK ZONES, a battery-powered portable indoor avoidance system. Place a ZONES transmitter near anything you want your pet to avoid: plants, trash cans, fine furniture. When your dog wearing the collar enters the avoidance area, he will receive a mild correction, designed to create just enough discomfort to get him to leave the area. [. . . ] Run the boundary wire towards the pool, stopping when you are even with the pool. Make Pool Loop: Connect single boundary wire to one end of twisted wire with a splice. Run twisted wire through the yard until you get to the pool. Lay single wire around the outside of the pool until you get back to the twisted wire, and connect to the remaining wire of the twisted wires with a splice. [. . . ]
