DogWatch CAT200 Operating Instructions

The DogWatch ® CAT200 is a dual function transmitter designed to be used either with or without an
attached boundary wire.

How the System Works

The CAT200 transmits a silent radio signal that is recognized by a receiver collar worn by your pet.
• When used without an attached boundary wire, the signal is transmitted a set distance from the
Transmitter. The signal can be adjusted from 2 feet to 10 feet in diameter (5 feet in all directions
from the center of the transmitter) to create a pet-free avoidance area.
• When used with a boundary wire, the signal comes from the wire. The wire may be installed to
the shape and size you need to create either an avoidance area (to keep your pet out of an area)
or a containment area (to keep your pet within an area).
At the edge of the signal, there is a warning zone. As your pet approaches the warning zone, the
Receiver collar starts 'beeping' to alert your pet that he is too close to the boundary. With training
(page 3), your pet learns that if he goes beyond the warning zone, the beep is quickly followed by
a 'correction' (an unpleasant, but safe, sensation from the receiver collar). Your pet will learn to stay
away from areas he associates with the warning beep.

Product Features and Operating Instructions

Power Status Light

The Power Status Light on the top of the transmitter glows green when the
transmitter is plugged-in.
on and the signal is being sent.
• When used with a boundary wire, the Power Status Light glows green
only if there is a continuous signal loop. The light glows red if there is
no signal loop or if the wire is broken/damaged.
Note: The green light may be steady green or blinking green. This depends on
the Frequency setting of the transmitter.

Signal Range

Signal range is the distance the signal radiates from the transmitter or the
boundary wire.
• Turn the knob toward the '+' to increase the signal range.
This increases the size of the signal field.
• Turn the knob toward the '-' to decrease the signal range.
This decreases the size of the signal field.
Never adjust the signal range while your pet is wearing the receiver collar.
Always test the signal field and mark the edge of the field with warning flags
before allowing your pet near the boundary area.

Frequency

This switch controls the broadcast frequency of the signal.
Do NOT change this setting. It is for DEALER USE ONLY.
Do not position the transmitter on or near large metal objects.
