If the Computer Collar unit fails to beep, increase the signal field until activation occurs. Multi-Area Avoidance:

Your Invisible Gate Plus Transmitter and the Computer Collar unit are preset to operate on Channel A (Code 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 dining room, 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 (Code A), the Invisible Gate Plus transmitter denies access to pets wearing a Computer Collar unit programmed to Channel A.

(Channel A is the default setting for the Computer Collar unit.) When set to Channel B (Code B), the Invisible Gate Plus transmitter denies access to pets wearing a Computer Collar unit programmed to Channel B. When set to Channel A-B (Code A + B), the Invisible Gate Plus transmitter denies access to all pets wearing a Computer Collar unit set to Channel A or B. Note: Your local Invisible Fence Brand dealer can set Computer Collar units to not activate to any Shields units. www.InvisibleFence.com 9 Programming the Computer Collar unit:

This function is only use with devices set to Shields mode. Prior to programming ensure all Computer Collar units are removed from pets and are at least 3 feet from the Invisible Gate Plus transmitter. Follow procedure on page 7, Changing the Channel Setting on the Invisible Gate Plus transmitter, to select Channel A or Channel B for programing into the Computer Collar unit. Once complete turn the unit back over and set it down on a flat surface. Note: The Invisible Gate Plus transmitter will not enter into programming mode if this switch is set to A+B. Press and hold the PROGRAM button while lowering the Computer Collar unit from directly above the Invisible Gate Plus transmitter. Stop lowering when the Computer Collar unit begins to flicker yellow and release the PROGRAM button on the transmitter when the Computer Collar unit begins to flash green. The Computer Collar unit is now programmed to the desired channel. Verify operation by turning ON the Invisible Gate Plus transmitter and moving the Computer Collar unit into the signal field. You will hear the Computer Collar beep when it activates. Note: Make sure any Computer Collar units you do not wish to program are more than 3 feet from the Invisible Gate Plus transmitter or have the Power Cap Battery removed. Do not perform this procedure while the Computer Collar Unit is on a pet. www.InvisibleFence.com 10 Training Guide If your pet already understands his Invisible Fence Brand system If your pets already understand how to use their Invisible Fence Brand system, adding a new area is easy. If the Invisible Gate Plus unit will be used for establishing Different Rules for Different Pets, please go to the section on multi-pet households. Once the signal field is established 1) Use the Invisible Fence Brand training flags to mark the desired area. Flags should be set 6-12 inches inside the signal field range. This will provide a visual cue for your pets. Just as they learned what the flags meant when the pets were first trained, your pet will remember that flags again mean they should avoid the area. 2) With your pets Computer Collar unit in your hand, allow your pet to hear it sounding when he is looking at the flags. Your pet should react immediately by moving away from the designated protection area. Some pets may need to test the area a few times on their own before they start avoiding the protected area altogether. 3) Always praise your pet for making the right choice and leaving the designated protection area. 4) If your pet lingers in the signal field or ignores the signal field, please contact your Invisible Fence Brand Dealer. Your pets indoor correction level designation may need an adjustment. Multi-pet householdsIntroducing Different Rules for Different Pets If your new Invisible Gate Plus system is used to keep only specific pets out of a specific area, an enhanced visual cue will need to be created. For example, if your new Invisible Gate Plus system is meant to keep the dog away from the kitty litter box, flagging the area would also deter the cat who have been trained to understand the meanings of the flags. 1) Program the pets Computer Collar units as instructed on Page 9. 2) Remove the pets from the designated area and set up the Invisible Fence Brand training flags (as above). 3) Add the new visually enhanced elements. The easiest cue would be to use blue painters tape. Use 4-

6 strips of painters tape between the flags on the floor. Painters tape can easily be removed without causing damage to different types of surfaces. 4) Bring in the pets that are being trained to avoid the area and with the Computer Collar unit in your hand, let them see the flags, tape and hear the tone. 5) Put the Computer Collar unit on your pet and let the pet explore the area. Once your pet has had a few minutes to investigate the area, move the flags, leaving the painters tape in place. 6) Bring in the pets that are not affected by the Invisible Gate Plus system and encourage them to explore in the designated area. 7) The pets affected may try to approach the area, but will quickly retreat upon hearing the tone. Always praise your pets for making the Right choice. 8) If your pet lingers in the signal field or ignores the signal field, please contact your Invisible Fence Brand Dealer. Your pets indoor correction level may need an adjustment. If your pet is new to Invisible Fence Brand system If you and your pet are new to the Invisible Fence Brand system there are several considerations to examine before you start training your pets. Your Invisible Fence Brand Dealer has Trainers certified in Perfect Start Plus training and can evaluate your pet to provide customized training that is both scientifically sound and behaviorally based as well as gentle and effective. Your Dealer has a wealth of experience in training pets including special diagnostic tools that provides the trainer more control over the correction level as well as enabling the trainer to access information about how your pet uses the Invisible Fence Brand system during training. This information helps the trainer establish the right correction level for your pet. 11 www.InvisibleFence.com Your Invisible Fence Brand Dealer has gathered information about your pets breed, life history, and energy level. The Dealer will also have available to them specific information downloaded from the Computer Collar units as to how your pet(s) and the Invisible Gate Plus system interact and protect the desired area. (Example:

Based on the Computer Collar systems data, is the Invisible Gate Plus system keeping the pets away from the trashcan or is it stopping the dog from chasing the cats down the hall.) This information will help the Dealer to set a correction level that is appropriate for your pet. Your Invisible Fence Brand Dealer may set up your pets Computer Collar unit with a shunt to reduce the correction as training begins. If a shunt is used, you will be provided with directions on how to remove the shunt from the Computer Collar unit following the completion of your training schedule. It would be easy to set a correction high enough to stop your pet from accessing the area immediately, but proceeding with that mind frame makes it more difficult for your pet to understand how the new rules in the house works and affects them. Using a correction level that is too high may result in additional training problems, as your pet may become afraid of that area of the house. High correction level training may make it more difficult to train new areas in the future. The gentle start of Perfect Start Plus Pet Training insures the training process does not stress your pet. If you decide to train your pet yourself, you should make sure your pet is not afraid of the tone made by the Computer Collar unit. Hold the Computer Collar unit by the collars strap in your hand and approach the signal field so that the tone activates. Do not hold the posts in your hands. If your pet has a strong reaction to get away from the designated area after hearing the tone, contact your Dealer right away. Your Invisible Fence Brand dealer will be able to help customize training and the appropriate training settings for your pet. If you choose to train yourself here are the steps to follow:

1) Use the Invisible Fence Brand training flags to mark the desired area. Flags should be set 6-12 inches inside the signal field range. This will provide a visual cue for your pets. 2) Your Invisible Fence Brand Dealer will have set your pets Computer Collar units to deliver a very low correction to begin training. Let your pet explore the area and check out the flags. When you hear the collar tone, call your pet out of the signal area. Praise your pet for making the right choices. This step allows your pet to learn the relationship between the flags they see and smell, the tone they hear and the tickle they feel. The goal is for the pets to understand how they Invisible Fence Brand system works and that the pet is actually in control of turning the correction on and off. 3) During training periods, allow your pet to only explore the area when you can directly supervise. If you are unable to supervise, keep your pet away from the designated area until the training program is completed. 4) Some pets may make several approaches to the flags/tone area. Each time you hear the collar beep, encourage and assist your pet to retreat from the area. Praise your pet as soon as the tone ceases to sound. 5) After a couple of days, if your pet isnt avoiding the protected area, take off the shunt (if applicable) following the instructions you received from your Invisible Fence Brand dealer. This will slightly raise the correction level. 6) Allow your pet to again explore the designated area. The new correction level should encourage your pet to avoid the protected area. 7) If your pet continues to enter the protected area after a day, call your Invisible Fence Dealer for more training information. www.InvisibleFence.com 12 Troubleshooting Invisible Gate Plus Transmitter does not appear to work LCD is black Range is too low or too high Computer Collar Unit does not seem to deter pet Computer Collar Unit fails to sound warning beep Check for low battery (audible chirp once every 30 seconds and flashing LCD).
