The Shock Mat is a touch sensitive training mat which says “NO” when you can`t. It quickly conditions dogs, cats and similar sized animals to avoid prohibited areas with a harmless, low-power electronic pulse similar to static electricity. Safe yet effective!

• Make any area off-limits.
• Protect your furniture.
• Indoor training for dogs and cats.
• Protect car paintwork.
• Make rooms or other areas off-limits.
• Stop cats jumping onto kitchen counter tops.
• Outdoor stay away birds or other animals on automobiles or umbrella

 

OPERATING GUIDE- OVERVIEW

1. Remove the Shock Mat from its box. Lay it flat in a warm environment to allow it to un-crease.
2. Insert a new alkaline type 9 volt battery.
3. Place the device at its working location.
4. Switch ON and wait 60 seconds for calibration.
5. Test the mat using “tone only” (see “Training Modes” below).
6. Set training mode to:”Stimulation+Tone”.
7. Wait for your pet to learn about the mat.

 

INSERTING THE BATTERY

On the front of the electronics controller, slide the battery door open. Connect and insert a new 9Volt ALKALINE battery. Then slide the battery door back into place. battery life is up to 6weeks. We recommend switching the Shock Mat OFF when not in use.

 

LOCATING THE DEVICE

To operate properly the mat must be fully unfolded and not folded back on itself. The surface on which it is placed should be electrically non-conductive and dry. Do not leave objects on top of the mat.

 

SWITCHING THE SHOCK MAT ON:

To switch ON, momentarily press and release the pushbutton switch. The green LED lights will periodically flash to indicate it is switched ON.

IMPORTANT: The Shock Mat needs to claibarte itself to the surface on which it is placed. Calibration occurs when you switch the controller from OFF to ON. Whenever you change the mat`s location you must switch the controller OFF. Wait 20 seconds. Switch the controller ON. DO NOT TOUCH OR MOVE the mat for the next 60 seconds while calibration takes place.

 

SWITCHING THE PET MAT OFF:

Press﹠hold the pushbutton switch for 3 seconds, then release. the red LED will flash a few times to confirm you selected OFF.

TESTING THE SHOCK MAT

Switch ON the Shock Mat. Wait 60 second for calibration. Set the operation to “Tone Only”. Now place your hand on the mat. You will hear a beep and the red LED will flash. This indicates that the Shock Mat is detecting your hand and working properly.

TRAINING MODES

The Shock Mat offers three training modes:

• Tone +Static Simulation.
• Static Stimulation Only.
• Tone Only.

 

When you change the battery the Shock Mat remembers the last training mode used. To change modes, momentarily press and release the pushbutton switch. The green LEDs will light to indicate the selected training mode.

 

3 CLOURED LEDs-FUNCTION AND RESPONSE:

Function	LED Light Response
Controller is ON and waiting for animal contact.	Green light flashed once every 5 seconds.
Animal detected.	Red light flashes during stimulation.
Low Battery.	Red light flashes 3 times every 5seconds.
Switch OFF.	Red light flashes briefly 5 times then no lights.

 

TRAINING GUIDE

Allow your pets to roam and discover their new boundaries, since all pets are different, it may take several encounters before they understand and respect the mat. For some pets this can take a few days.

During this learning phase, choose the “Tone +Stimulation” setting. DO NOT FORCE your pet onto the mat otherwise your pet may associate your actions with the stimulation rather than with the Shock Mat. Your pet must learn to associate the Shock Mat with the unpleasant stimulation.

TROUBLESHOOTING

None of the green LEDs are ON:

• Check that the Shock Mat is switched ON.
• Check that the Shock Mat contains a 9 volt alkaline battery (not included) and it is properly connected inside the controller.
• Try a new 9 volt ALKALINE battery.

 

The mat does not detect my pet but the green LED indicates it is switched ON:

• Follow the procedure “Testing the Shock Mat”.
• The controller may be loose. Unplug the controller, check the connection studs for problems. Plug back together again.
• Your pet`s feet may have too much fur causing the mat not to trigger. Trim excess fur to expose the pads on your pet`s paws.
• If the mat is damp, dry it and try again.
• Try a new 9 volt ALKALINE battery.
