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.
