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 Shields

Gate solution. If you have any questions after reading this manual, call your local Invisible

Fence dealer.

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

Explanation of Attention Words and Symbols used in this guide

This is the safety alert symbol. It is used to alert you to potential personal

injury hazards. Obey all safety messages that follow this symbol to avoid

possible injury or death.

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

death or serious injury.

CAUTION used with the safety alert symbol, indicates a hazardous situation

which, if not avoided, could result in minor or moderate injury.

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, Radio Systems Corporation™, as well as

Invisible Fence Distributors and Dealers cannot guarantee the system will, in all cases, keep

a customer’s pet from entering or accessing protected areas. 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 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.

InvisibleFence.com

• To ensure long term success, follow all instructions provided by your Invisible Fence® Brand

dealer. Do not become overly conﬁdent if your pet has become conditioned to the Invisible

Fence pet avoidance system sooner than expected.

• Your Invisible Fence dealer has professionally installed your pet avoidance system and

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

sure the system is properly functioning.

• Do not attempt to service any Invisible Fence equipment. Refer all service to your authorized

Invisible Fence dealer. Only your authorized Invisible Fence dealer should make adjustments

to your pet avoidance/containment system.

• All Invisible Fence systems are designed for domesticated animal use only. Never attempt to

use this product for any purpose not speciﬁcally described in this manual.

• The Shields® Gate solution gives you control over the areas a pet or pets have access to

inside your home. It is designed to work independently or to complement your Invisible

Fence electronic pet containment system. The Shields Gate transmitter is designed for indoor

use only. For information on or about Outdoor Shields® products, please contact your local

Invisible Fence dealer or visit us at InvisibleFence.com. This device is not designed to operate

as a containment transmitter.

• Important: To ensure your pet does not receive an unintended correction, make sure your

pet is not wearing the Computer Collar® Unit when turning ON or adjusting The Shields Gate

transmitter.

HOW THE SYSTEM WORKS

Shields Gate Transmitter

The transmitter is the heart of the system. It produces a signal that communicates with your pet’s

Computer Collar® Receiver to keep your pet away from unwanted areas. The transmitter creates

a signal ﬁeld up to 38 inches from the unit and can be set to activate a Computer Collar as it

approaches the transmitter or as it crosses over the transmitter. The lightweight, portable design

is easy to use and powered by an internal rechargeable battery pack. You may use the included

AC adapter for locations near an electrical outlet. The AC adapter is also used for charging the

transmitter.

The Transmitter has four control buttons:

• Three under the bottom cover next to the display.

o Two for controlling the signal ﬁeld range (+ & -).

o One for use when programming the Computer Collar to The Shields Gate transmitter.

• One on the top side of the unit for turning the unit ON and OFF during normal use.

AC Adapter

The AC adapter (RAC00-13701) is intended for long-term use or for recharging the Shields Gate transmitter.

Use the AC adapter to charge the battery pack for a minimum of 4 hours prior to ﬁrst use.

Operating Guide

Important: Fully charge unit before initial use. To ensure your pet does not receive an

unintended correction, make sure your pet is not wearing the Computer Collar® Unit when

turning ON or adjusting The Shields® Gate transmitter.

Charge the Shields Gate

• Locate the charging jack on the front edge of the unit near the power button. Connect the

charger connector to the charging jack with the keyed side facing up.

• Plug the AC adaptor (RAC00-13701) into a standard 120 volt wall outlet.

• Allow the unit to fully charge before initial use and after prolonged storage. A charge time

of 2 hours is required for normal charging.

o The power button will illuminate red while charging.

o The power button will illuminate green when charging is complete.

• Battery life of approximately 30 days can be expected from a fully charged battery.

• The Shields Gate transmitter will give an audible chirp once every 30 seconds and the power

button will ﬂash red every 5 seconds when the battery is low and charging is required.

Turning ON and OFF Shields Gate:

• Turn ON by pressing and holding the power button until the power button turns from red to

green (approximately 2 seconds). Release the power button. Unit will emit a single beep.

the transmitter. Set to Shields mode, activation occurs as you pet approaches the

transmitter.

o 7K/10K FREQ – System frequency set by Invisible Fence® dealer.

o ON/OFF MOTION – Turns motion sensing on or o. “On” mode allows your Shields Gate

to go into a sleep mode that wakes as it detects motion to save battery life.

o 1/2/3 RATE – Sets the data rate of the signal. Used to increase battery life. Rate 1 is the

the slowest and consumes the least energy. Rate 3 is the fastest and consumes the most

energy. The faster the data rate, the

more consistent the boundary.

o A+B/B/A CODE - Data types used

to separate pet when unit is set to

Shields mode. This switch is unused

in Boundary Plus mode. Refer to

Dierent Rules for Dierent Pets™

technology section.

• Range and Program Buttons

o + & - Buttons - Used to adjust the

signal ﬁeld range. Press simultaneously to lock/unlock the height.

Shields System Operation:

In Shields mode, your pet’s Computer Collar will activate as it approaches Shields Gate’s

oval-shaped Invisible Boundary® design. This allows you to protect large areas such as couches,

tables and entry ways. Shields mode also allows you to deny access to one pet while allowing

access to another with patented Dierent Rules for Dierent Pets technology. Ensure the

BOUNDARY/SHIELDS switch is in the Shields position.

Multi-Area Avoidance:

Your Shields® Gate 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 sucient as long as all pets are required

to avoid the same protected areas like keeping all pets away from

the dining room, o 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), Shields Gate denies access

to pets wearing a Computer Collar programmed to Channel A.

(Channel A is the default setting for the Computer Collar® Unit.)

• When set to Channel B (Code B), Shields Gate denies access to

pets wearing a Computer Collar programmed to Channel B.

• When set to Channel A-B (Code A + B), Shields Gate denies

access to all pets wearing a Computer Collar® set to Channel A or B.

Note: Your local Invisible Fence® Brand dealer can set Computer

Collars to not activate to any Shields® units.

Programming the Computer Collar:

This function is only used 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 Shields

Gate or any Shields transmitter.

• Follow procedure on page 7, changing the Channel Setting on

Shields Gate to select Channel A or Channel B for programing

into the Computer Collar. Once complete turn the unit back

over and set it down on a ﬂat surface. Note: Shields Gate will

not enter into programming mode if this switch is set to A+B.

• Press and hold the PROGRAM (P) button while lowering the

Computer Collar from directly above Shields Gate.

• Stop lowering when the Computer Collar® Unit begins to ﬂicker

yellow and release the PROGRAM button on the transmitter

when the Computer Collar begins to ﬂash green.

• The Computer Collar is now programmed to the desired channel.

• Verify operation by turning ON Shields Gate and moving the Computer Collar 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

Shields Gate or have the Power Cap® Battery removed. Do not perform this procedure while the

Computer Collar is on a pet.
