ABOUT RANGE
Your INNOTEK Zones transmitter communica
tes
with your pet’
s collar via a radio frequenc
y signal
and under normal circumstances will cover an area up to 12 feet in diameter or a 6 foot radius. Due to the inherent properties of radio signals, some loca
tions may affect the maximum range
tha
t can be achieved.
This may be particularly
noticeable around metal objects.
Should you find tha
t you are not getting the
desired range a
t the maximum setting,
altering
the Zone loca
tion by a few feet or changing ho
w
the Zone is positioned (ie:
standing on end
instead of laying fla
t) may help cover your pet
free area. Testing the Zone
You may wish to verify the range of the pet-free
zone.
Holding the collar
,
start outside the range
and walk slo
wly to
ward the Zone.
The collar will
emit a high-pitched tone as it a
pproaches the
outer range of the pet-free zone follo
wed by an
escala
ting level of correction as it moves c
loser
to the Zone.
Note:
This tone is easily heard by
dogs,
but may be a pitch tha
t is difficult for you
to hear
.
If you cannot hear the
tone,
hold the supplied test
light on the collar probes and repea
t this
test.
