Performance Series R7 & R8 Receiver Battery Instructions

The lightweight radio receiver worn by the dog identifies the coded FM radio signal from the boundary wire. It creates an audible warning followed by stimulation if he comes too close to the boundary wire. It operates on a replaceable battery and is waterproof when the battery cap is securely fastened.

Battery Insertion Instructions Important: You must reset the “Battery Reminder” Feature when you change the battery.

Resetting The Battery Reminder Feature

Remove the old battery.
Using your test light, hold the magnet in the programming position (without a battery in the receiver) for 30 seconds to fully discharge the unit. If you have misplaced the test light, let the receiver sit for 5 minutes without a battery.
Insert a new battery. The Battery Reminder feature is now automatically reset for 6 months for the R7 or 24 months for the R8 receiver.

R7 Battery: The Performance Series receiver is powered by a 3 volt 1/3 N lithium battery. The receiver is designed for a 6 month battery life. The positive (+) end of the battery must be inserted up.

R8 Battery: The R8 battery is powered by a 3.6 volt lithium battery. The receiver is designed for long battery life of up to two years. The positive (+) end of the battery must be inserted down.
