Replacing battery of CANIFUGUE MIX receiver collar

•
NUM'AXES advises to use the same type and same brand of batteries as those supplied in your new purchased product. Other brands of
batteries may not operate, or may not be completely compatible with your product.
You can purchase the suitable batteries from NUM'AXES or from your distributor.
Replace the battery by following the procedure indicated above (see § Activate/Deactivate the CANIFUGUE MIX receiver collar).
After the battery replacement, the collar will operate according the last selected mode.
Due to greater use during your dog's training, the first battery may not last as long as replacement batteries. Battery life depends on how often your
dog tests the boundary.
•

Changing the contact points

Two different series of contact points are supplied. The length of the contact points must be sufficient to have proper contact with the dog's skin,
enabling the device to operate correctly.
If you have a long-haired dog and the short contact points fitted to the collar in the factory are inadequate, remove and replace them with the long
ones supplied with the kit.
Carefully tighten them manually (do not use a key).
For the CANIFUGUE PRO collar, you can purchase extra-long contact points from your supplier at any time.

How to check that your pet fencing system is functioning properly

You can check that your pet fencing system is operating correctly at any time:
− Before doing so, make sure the receiver collar is turned Off (CANIFUGUE PRO: green indicator light Off – CANIFUGUE MIX: battery removed from its
housing).
− Fix each wire of the neon test lamp under each contact point (unscrewing them lightly and retightening them so as to pinch the test lamp wires).
− Turn On the transmitter and the receiver collar.
− Walk up to the antenna wire holding the collar by the strap at the same height and orientation as if on your dog's neck. At some distance from the
wire depending on the settings, the collar should emit beep sounds then, as you get closer to the wire, the test lamp should light up. Your product
is functioning properly.
− Before disconnecting the test lamp, make sure the receiver collar is turned Off (CANIFUGUE PRO: green light indicator Off – CANIFUGUE MIX: battery
removed from its housing).

Fitting and positioning the collar

Fitting and positioning are very important. In fact, these settings determine the correct operation of the product (straying detection, transmission of
the stimulations).
The position of the collar around the neck of the dog should be in the following way:
− CANIFUGUE PRO: the red mark on the collar is visible and is not in contact with the breast of the dog.
− CANIFUGUE MIX: the CANIFUGUE label is visible and is not in contact with the breast of the dog.
To achieve best results from your system, the strap must be adjusted so that the contact points are in contact with the skin of the dog.
− If the strap is too loose, the collar is likely to move and repeated friction can irritate the skin of your dog.
− If the collar is too tight, the dog will have breathing difficulties.
If necessary, replace the short contact points with the long ones supplied with the kit (ref § Changing the contact points).
Do not leave the collar more than 8 hours per day on your dog. Check your dog's neck regularly. If irritations appear, remove the collar until
all signs of skin irritations have disappeared.

Getting the best results

The performances of your pet fencing system will be optimal if you follow these recommendations before each use:
− Make sure the collar battery is sufficiently charged: its condition affects the proper functioning of the collar. At temperatures below 0°C, the battery
is less effective than at room temperature.
− Make sure both contact points are properly tightened on the collar.
− Check the good fit and position of the collar on the neck of your dog.
•

Starting out with the pet fencing system

− You can start using the collar with 6-month-old puppies that have already received some basic training ("stay", "sit", or at least "no").
− Do not use the collar with dogs that are not in good physical shape (i.e. cardiac problems, epilepsy) or have behavioural problems (i.e. aggressive
dog).
− Your dog will need to get used to the collar, for a few days let the dog wear the collar but do not turn it On.
− Closely watch your pet during the first days' use.
− Do not rush
