Lightning strikes that occur even several miles away from your installation can
create power surges or spikes which may damage your unprotected electronic pet
containment system. The Surge Protector included with this system is designed to
protect your In-Ground Fence™ from surges or spikes that can reach it via your AC
power connection and/or your buried Boundary Wire.

Wires(4A)
WARNING
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.
Turn off power to outlet before you install or remove your•
Surge Protector.
Risk of electrical shock or fi re. Use Surge Protector only with a •
duplex outlet with center screw. Attach unit with long screw supplied.
Risk of electric shock. Use the Fence Transmitter and Surge •
Protector indoors in dry location only.
CAUTION
Do not install the Surge Protector if there is not at least 30 feet•
(10 meters) or more of wire between the electrical outlet and
electrical service panel.
CAUTION
If possible, DO NOT use an AC circuit protected with a GFCI •
(ground fault circuit interrupter). In rare cases, nearby lightning
strikes may cause the GFCI to trip. Without power your dog may
be vulnerable to escape. You will have to reset the GFCI to restore
power to the system.
NOTICE
Plug the Surge Protector into a grounded (3-prong) outlet that is •
within 5 feet of the Fence Transmitter. ALWAYS use a grounded
(3-prong) outlet to ensure maximum protection.
Do not remove the ground prong from the Surge Protector plug. •
Do not use a 3-prong plug to 2-prong outlet converter. Doing so
will make the Surge Protector ineffective against surges or spikes.
