Warning!
- USA and Canada - To reduce the risk of electric
shock, the energizer's power adaptor has a
polarised plug (one blade is wider than the other).
This plug will fit in a polarised outlet one way. If the
plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug.
If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician
to install the proper outlet. Do not change the plug
in any way.
- Switch the energizer off before installation or
performing any work on the fence.
- Read all the safety considerations carefully. See
Safety considerations
- Check your installation to ensure that it complies
with all local safety regulations.
- Do not connect simultaneously to a fence and to
any other device such as a cattle trainer or a poultry
trainer. Otherwise, lightning striking your fence will
be conducted to all other devices.
- Use only the mains/line power adaptor or battery
leads supplied with this energizer or a genuine
replacement part.
