Features
Scoot
TM
is designed for small indoor
applications and allows you to
protect almost any area of your
house. Applications include
protecting your furniture, drapes,
carpets, window sills, countertops,
stairways, beds, cribs, etc.
Power
Simply plug the power
supply into the transmitter jack.
Indicator Light
A green light lets
you know that both the transmitter
and boundary wire are functioning
properly. A red light lets you know
that your boundary wire is not
connected properly or has a break.
Range
The transmitter emits a
coded radio signal through up to 25 feet of boundary wire. You can
adjust the distance the signal radiates off the boundary wire by
using the left switch on the back of
Scoot
. When the switch is set to
the “HIGH” position, the range will be approximately two feet off the
wire. When the switch is set to the “LOW” position, the range will be
approximately one foot off the wire. Always test the signal field
before allowing your pet near the avoidance area. Never adjust the
transmitter while your pet is wearing the receiver collar.
Terminal Connections
Strip and connect one end of the boundary
wire to one of the terminal connections. This is the beginning of
your boundary wire system. Once you have completed your
boundary, strip and connect the other end of your boundary wire to
the other terminal. The boundary wire must make a complete loop.
If the green power light turns to red it means that your boundary
wire is not connected properly or that there is a break in the wire.
Adjusting the Collar
Collar tightness is critical. All contact points must touch your dog’s
skin in order to receive a correction. A loose collar will also allow the
contact posts to rub back and forth on the skin, possibly causing
irritation. Use care as over-tightening the contact posts could cause
damage to the receiver.
We recommend that the receiver collar be removed each day to
allow your dog’s skin to gradually condition itself to the contact
posts and avoid potential skin irritation and possible infections.
Installation
To create a signal field using the boundary wire, you need to
separate the two strips of wire. The range of the signal will depend
upon the distance the two strips of wire are from one another. When
the two strips are next to one another, there is no signal field. As the
two strips are separated, the signal field will increase
(see Figure 1)
.
The boundary wire must form a continuous loop for there to be a
signal field. To accomplish this, you must splice the final ends of the
boundary wire together.
The boundary wire carries a harmless radio signal. You do not need
to worry about an electrical shock when separating and splicing the
boundary wire. The power indicator light will be “red” if you have not
closed the boundary loop or if you have a broken boundary wire.

Note:
On the back of
Scoot
there are two small switches. The right
switch sets your transmitter to the correct broadcast frequency.
Your dealer will set this right switch for your system.
Do NOT change these settings. They are for DEALER USE ONLY.
