IMPORTANT PRECAUTIONS

Invisible Fence®Brand pet containment systems have contained over three million pets. However, there

are some precautions you should take.

• Read and retain manuals: read the entire Owner’s Manual before using your new Invisible Fence

Brand pet containment system.

• Adhere to all warnings and cautions contained in any Invisible Fence Brand manual.

WARNING indicates a hazardous situation, which, if not avoided, could

result in death or serious injury.

CAUTION used without the safety alert symbol, indicates a hazardous

situation, which, if not avoided, could result in harm to your pet.

NOTICE is used to address safe use practices not related to personal injury.

• Not every pet can be trained to avoid the established boundary. Sometimes even a properly

trained pet may cross the boundary. Therefore, Invisible Fence, Inc., as well as Invisible Fence

Brand Distributors and Dealers, cannot guarantee the system will, in all cases, keep a customer’s

pet within the established boundary. Accordingly, if a customer has reason to believe that their

pet may pose a danger to others, or harm itself, the customer should not rely solely upon the

Invisible Fence Brand pet containment system to keep the pet from crossing the boundary.

• Do not install, connect, or remove your system during a lightning storm. If the storm is close

enough for you to hear thunder, it is close enough to create hazardous surges.

• This device contains Lithium-Ion (Li-Ion) batteries; never incinerate, puncture, deform, short-

circuit, or charge with an inappropriate charger. Fire, explosion, property damage, or bodily

harm may occur if this warning is not followed.

• Risk of explosion if battery is replaced by an incorrect type. Dispose of used batteries according

to the regulations in your area.

• Taking your product apart can cause damage and void your warranty.

• Do not charge the batteries in areas with high temperature (100o F+).

• Keep batteries away from children.

Pressure Necrosis

Millions of pets are comfortable while they wear the stainless steel contact points. Some pets

can be sensitive to contact pressure. According to the Gale Encyclopedia of Medicine, pressure

necrosis is deﬁned as “open wounds that form whenever prolonged pressure is applied to skin

covering bony outcrops of the body.” Pressure necrosis is also known as pressure ulcers and bed-

sores. Read and follow the important instructions on how to avoid pressure necrosis. Proper ﬁt of

the GPS 3.0 Mobile Collar Unit is important. If the collar is worn for too long or made too tight on

your pet’s neck, pressure necrosis could develop.

How to Prevent Pressure Necrosis

These steps will help keep your pet protected and comfortable:

• Avoid leaving the GPS 3.0 Mobile Collar Unit on the pet for more than 12 hours per day.

• When possible, reposition the GPS 3.0 Mobile Collar Unit on the pet’s neck every 1 to 2 hours.

• Check the ﬁt to prevent excessive pressure, following the instructions in this manual.

InvisibleFence.com | 800-578-3647 | 2

• Never connect a leash to the GPS 3.0 Mobile Collar Unit; it will cause excessive pressure on the

GPS 3.0 Mobile Collar Unit. It may also break the GPS antenna cable.

• Wash the pet’s neck area and the stainless steel Contact Points of the GPS 3.0 Mobile Collar Unit

weekly with a damp cloth.

• Examine the contact area daily for signs of rash or a sore.

• If a rash or sore is found, discontinue use until the skin is healed.

• If the condition persists beyond 48 hours, see your veterinarian.

You may ﬁnd after some time that your pet becomes accustomed to the GPS 3.0 Mobile Collar

Unit. If so, you may relax some of these precautions. It is important, however, to continue daily

checks of the contact area. If redness or sores are found, discontinue use until the skin has fully

healed.

You may need to trim the hair in the area of the contact points or switch to the longer contact points

to ensure consistent contact. Never shave the pet’s neck; this may lead to a rash or infection.

To prevent an unintended correction:

• The GPS 3.0 Mobile Collar Unit should not be on your pet when the system is tested.

• Remove the GPS 3.0 Mobile Collar Unit before leaving the property.

• Before placing the GPS 3.0 Mobile Collar Unit on your pet, test the boundary area.

• Train your pet according to the instructions in the Invisible Fence Brand training manuals.

Complete all steps before allowing your pet to run free.

• Do not become overly conﬁdent if your pet becomes conditioned to the Invisible Fence Brand

pet containment system sooner than expected.

• Your Invisible Fence Brand Dealer has professionally installed your pet containment system and

ensured it is working properly. You will want to perform periodic maintenance checks to make

sure the system is properly functioning for your pet’s containment.

• The GPS 3.0 Base Station has visual and audible signals to warn of a system malfunction.

The GPS 3.0 Base Station should be installed where such signals may be easily seen and heard.

• Do not attempt to service any Invisible Fence Brand equipment. Refer all service to your autho-

rized Invisible Fence Brand Dealer. Only your authorized Invisible Fence Brand Dealer should

make adjustments to your new GPS 3.0 System.

• All Invisible Fence Brand pet containment systems are designed for domesticated animal use only.

Never attempt to use this product for any purpose not speciﬁcally described in this manual.

• If you have any questions about any aspect of your Invisible Fence Brand GPS 3.0 System, call

your Invisible Fence Brand Dealer immediately.

GPS 3.0 Mobile Collar Unit

When your pet approaches an established boundary (either the perimeter or internal

Boundary), the GPS 3.0 Mobile Collar Unit generates warning beeps or, if necessary, a solid

tone and correction to remind your pet of the boundary. With training and praise, your pet will

quickly learn to avoid the established boundary.

Deﬁnition: A correction is a training term used to describe an action taken to discourage

poor pet behavior. Corrections are used in combination with rewards to alter their behavior.

• The GPS 3.0 System is installed using a computer; there are no wires to bury.

• Your pet’s perimeter boundary can be customized to any shape and there is no

maximum size limitation.

• Up to two internal boundaries can be set to protect your pets from special areas such as gardens

and livestock areas.

• Your pet’s boundaries are created using GPS coordinates to set posts along the speciﬁed

boundary; these posts are obtained from online mapping services and are entered and stored in

your pet’s GPS 3.0 Mobile Collar Unit.

• The GPS 3.0 Mobile Collar Unit determines your pet’s position, speed and course.

• This data determines if your pet is in danger of crossing an established boundary.

• If this is the case, the GPS 3.0 Mobile Collar Unit will issue a warning or static correction when any

of the following occur:

• Anti-Linger Notiﬁcation – Your pet is lingering too close to a boundary.

• Time-To-Boundary Notiﬁcation – Your pet is approaching a boundary at a speed and course

such that the anticipated time to the boundary is 3 seconds or less. This implies intent to

cross an established boundary.

• Crossed-Boundary Notiﬁcation – Your pet is not in the designated safe area and is either

outside of the perimeter boundary or inside an internal boundary.

OPERATING GUIDE

GPS 3.0 BASE REFERENCE UNIT

How does it work?

The GPS 3.0 Base Unit’s primary function is to obtain and supply the

GPS 3.0 Mobile Collar Unit with GPS assistance data. Assistance data

improves the GPS 3.0 Mobile Collar Unit’s accuracy and includes

dierential range corrections for all visible satellites, approximate GPS

time, positioning data, and the ionosphere correction model. The GPS

3.0 Base Unit will also provide an alert tone for a GPS 3.0 Mobile Collar

Unit escape in distress (i.e. warnings and corrections are disarmed). See

Tone Indicators below.

Tone indicators

The GPS 3.0 Base Unit uses tones to communicate the following notiﬁcations:

Tone Meaning

Two Tones In response to holding down push button to

start reference acquisition (button should be

release after tone sounds)

Three Tones Escape Distress Alarm (indicates that a GPS 3.0

Mobile Collar Unit is outside the boundary by

more than 30 ft and that its warnings and

corrections are disarmed)

The GPS 3.0 Mobile Collar Unit must be within

RF range.

Light indicators

The GPS 3.0 Base Unit’s Left LED reﬂects GPS signal quality:

Light Display – Left Light GPS Signal Quality

Solid Green Excellent

Fast Flash Green (4/second) Good

Slow Flash Green (1/second) Average

Fast Flash Yellow/Orange (4/second) Fair

Slow Flash Yellow/Orange (1/second) Poor

Solid Red Signal quality is not usable

Fast Flash Red (4/second) Awaiting usable ﬁx

The GPS 3.0 Base Unit’s Right LED reﬂects base input voltage and mode:

Light Display – Right Light Input Voltage/Mode

Solid Green Normal Mode

Fast Flash Yellow/Orange (4/second) Reference Acquisition Mode

Solid Red Voltage is below acceptable threshold

GPS 3.0 MOBILE COLLAR UNIT

How does it work?

The GPS 3.0 Mobile Collar Unit protects your pet from crossing

the perimeter and internal boundaries. The Collar Unit acquires

its position using GPS satellites and applies a set of rules to arrive

at your pet’s actionable position and speed. The Collar Unit also

determines if the actionable position and likely future position are

within your pet’s safe area.

The GPS 3.0 Mobile Collar Unit requests GPS assistance data from and provides status

information to reference Base Units. To extend its battery life, the Collar Unit’s radio is active

only when necessary. Under certain conditions it will also stop navigation in order to conserve

power and extend battery life. Motion is required to re-start navigation.

Fitting the GPS 3.0 Mobile Collar Unit

To work properly, the stainless steel contact points of the GPS 3.0 Mobile Collar Unit must

touch your pet’s skin.

1. Position the collar strap high on your pet’s neck with the GPS 3.0 Mobile Collar Unit under

your pet’s jaw.

2. To avoid having a collar that is too tight on a thick-haired pet, thin some hair away in order to

allow the contact points to touch the skin. Do not shave your pet’s neck.

3. Tighten the collar strap of the GPS 3.0 Mobile Collar Unit appropriately. Adjust the collar

strap so it is snug enough to slide only one ﬁnger between a contact point and your

pet’s skin.

4. Adjust the ﬁt of the GPS 3.0 Mobile Collar Unit as your pet’s coat, weight, and age change.

Your pet’s coat may change from season to season.

5. Allow your pet to become accustomed to his new GPS 3.0 Mobile Collar Unit. The collar must

be removed each night during the ﬁrst month of training. This ensures proper ﬁt and avoids

the possibility of skin irritation.

6. After training is complete, remove your pet’s GPS 3.0 Mobile Collar Unit each night, if

possible. This will help prevent irritation. However, if this is not possible, please check the

tightness of the collar each time you feed your pet by removing the collar and then replacing

it back on your pet.

Light indicators

Under normal operating conditions, the LED will periodically ﬂash the following two ﬂash

Battery and GPS status indicators.

The ﬁrst LED ﬂash indicates Battery Status

Indicator Flash Battery Life Remaining (Approximate)

Green More than 16 hours remaining

Yellow 12–16 hours remaining

Red Less than 12 hours remaining

InvisibleFence.com | 800-578-3647 | 6 InvisibleFence.com | 800-578-3647 | 7

The second LED ﬂash indicates GPS signal quality. If navigation is NOT started, the indicator will

always be RED. To insure that navigation has been started, gently shake the unit.

Indicator Flash GPS Signal Quality

Green High

Yellow Par

Red Signal quality is not useable

Tone indicators

When in normal operating mode the GPS 3.0 Mobile Collar Unit will generate tones

associated with real time operation. Audible beeps emanating from the GPS 3.0 Mobile Collar

Unit are intended to warn the pet that a correction is imminent if the action is not corrected.

Training must therefore teach retreat as the desired response to any audible tone. The duration

of the warning tone depends on the notiﬁcation type.

As an additional measure of protection from running through the boundary, there is less warn-

ing as the urgency of the violation increases. The length of time for a warning tone accumulates

and is inherited by any subsequent violation. Accumulated warning time is discarded only when

there is no current violation. Static corrections are always accompanied by a solid tone.

Tone Meaning

Two tones per second Anti-Linger Notiﬁcation

Four tones per second Time-to-Boundary Notiﬁcation

Solid Tone Warning time has elapsed and static

correction is being delivered

GPS 3.0 BATTERY CHARGER

AND MODULE

How do they work?

The GPS 3.0 solution is designed for battery “Hot Swapping” to eliminate any

downtime due to charging. One battery module will be powering the GPS 3.0

Mobile Collar Unit while a second module can be charging.

You will be provided with one battery charger per two GPS 3.0 Mobile Collar

Units and two battery modules per collar unit. Battery life will vary depend-

ing on the activity of your pet. You can expect two to four days of protection

per charge cycle and ﬁve years of protection before replacement is required.

The battery modules, when used as a pair, will provide approximately ﬁve years of

service before replacement is required. Overall time between charge and battery

lifetime is dependent on operation environment. Contact your local Invisible Fence

Brand dealership for replacement battery modules (Part# RIF00-15980).

The GPS Battery Module is speciﬁcally designed for the ﬁt and power requirements

of the GPS 3.0 Mobile Collar Unit. It utilizes a Panasonic Brand, 3.6 Volt 1900 mAh,

lithium ion battery cell with safety circuits. The safety circuits provide protection

against an overcharge, overdischarge or overcurrent event. DO NOT replace or

modify the cell or safety circuits in this module. The use of any unauthorized

power sources or modiﬁed GPS Battery Modules may damage the Collar Unit

beyond repair.

The GPS Battery Charger is a 2-slot wall charger that is speciﬁcally

designed for charging the GPS Battery Module. One charger is

required for every two pets.

Charging the GPS Battery Module

It is important to charge the GPS Battery Modules fully before ﬁrst use.

1. Insert the GPS Battery Charger into a standard 120-volt outlet.

2. Place battery module into the charger with the slot pointing to the

unlock position as shown.

3. Press down and rotate to the locked position. The charge indicator for that

slot will light.

Monthly boundary test

You should always be aware of your system’s boundaries. Check

for activation in a minimum of four places throughout the fence

system. Always check the boundary at the same four places

along the fence boundary. Take the GPS 3.0 Mobile Collar Unit

o your pet to check the boundaries.

1. Hold the GPS 3.0 Mobile Collar Unit with the GPS antenna

facing up. Do not cover the GPS antenna. See adjacent

photo for example.

2. Walk parallel to the boundary in both directions.

Gradually move closer to the boundary. The GPS 3.0

Mobile Collar Unit will activate when you reach the

Anti-Linger distance to the boundary. DO NOT touch

the contact points at this time!

Please note, this system utilizes GPS technology. The boundary

will be in a general area. Do not expect activation to occur at an

exact spot each time.

If the GPS 3.0 Mobile Collar Unit does not sound a warning

tone approximately where the Anti-Linger area is supposed to be, check the GPS Status LED. If

the GPS Status is RED, gently and continuously shake the Unit to start and maintain navigation.

Allow 1 minute for the GPS Status to turn Yellow/Orange or GREEN. Retest the Anti-Linger area. If

the GPS Status fails to turn Yellow/Orange or GREEN, immediately call your Invisible Fence Brand

Dealer for service. Use a leash (lead) or other means to contain your pet until all necessary service

has been completed
