A transmitter with an adapter equipped with a 4 m (12’) cord. 2. A collar with a receiver (sold separately). WHAT IS VIRTUAL BARRIER? It is a simple apparatus created to keep your pets away from one or many areas in your house. For example, Virtual Barrier prevents your pet (or pets) from reaching your bedroom, from approaching the new sofa or the kitchen table. Although the transmitter is made to operate indoors, you can also use it in a garage or a patio which is close to an accessible electrical outlet. WARNING In order to reduce the risk of an electric shock or damage to the transmitter, avoid placing the transmitter on wet surfaces, in moist or humid areas, close to a swimming pool, a Jacuzzi, etc. To prevent damaging the transmitter, do not expose to snow, rain or other sources of water. OPERATION The transmitter creates around itself a 360-degree electrical field with a modulation. You can adjust the beam between 60 cm (2’) and 3 m (10’) with the button located on the transmitter. The maximum range depends on the location of the transmitter and the surroundings. When the animal (wearing the receiver collar) gets close to the protected area, it immediately hears a warning signal which indicates that it is approaching the forbidden zone. After, if it continues to advance in that zone, it receives a spray. This keeps it away from the forbidden zone. At that moment the spraying stops. HOW TO INSTALL YOUR VIRTUAL BARRIER 1. ATTACH THE RECEIVER TO YOUR ANIMAL 1st step: The spray receiver collar (sold separately) comes with its own collar but if you wish, you can use another collar with the spray receiver collar. 2nd step: Place the collar correctly. Once the collar is correctly attached, you should be able to insert a finger between the receiver and the skin of the dog. 2. INSTALL THE TRANSMITTER The transmitter can be installed anywhere you do not wish your dog to go. In order to get maximum results, certain places are to be avoided. Avoid placing the transmitter on metallic surfaces, on a table having a metal rim or near massive metallic objects like a refrigerator, a washing machine, a dryer, a metal wall. Metallic objects can alter the magnetic field and change the range of the signal. The effects on the range depend on the size and the form of these objects. Metallic objects can also change the warning signal and the rate of correction. The range will also be reduced if you place the transmitter on a concrete floor. This is due to the metallic reinforcement under the cement. It is possible that the transmitter could affect certain types of loudspeakers causing crackling sounds. Avoid placing the transmitter near audio systems. You will get a maximal range by placing the transmitter on a non-conducting surface like a wooden floor or table. You can get a 3 m (10’) range when the transmitter is placed on a wooden floor. You can also hang the transmitter on a wall. In that position, the signal range is very directional. The signal is very strong directly in front and behind the transmitter. It is weaker on the sides of the apparatus. However, never hang the transmitter on a metallic wall. HOW TO OPERATE YOUR VIRTUAL BARRIER 1. TURNING ON THE TRANSMITTER Plug in the adapter and connect the other end of the cord to the transmitter. Switch on the transmitter by turning the setting button clockwise until you hear a click. The light indicator should turn itself on. 2. SETTING THE RANGE The range setting button (which is also the ON/OFF switch) adjusts the length of the zone between the transmitter and the limit where the receiver will pick up the signal (adjustable from 50 cm (2’) to about 3 m (10’) according to the surrounding conditions and the type of surface on which you have placed the transmitter). By turning the directional button to the right you increase the range of the signal. To determine the maximal range in the environment and/or on the selected surface, turn the button all the way to the right and move back with the device in your hands until you hear the warning signal. If the range is too long, turn the button to the left. Repeat the operation until you get the desired range. If you place your transmitter on a wooden floor, the warning zone will be about the same size as the correction zone. However, on a concrete floor the warning zone could become smaller than the correction zone. NOTE: If the transmitter is placed directly on a metallic surface (i.e. a microwave oven), according to the size of the surface, the range can be reduced up to 50%. You can reduce the interference that this metallic surface creates by placing the transmitter on a non- conducting material with a thickness of 7 to 10 cm (3-4”). For this, you can use books or a wooden shelf placed between the metallic surface and the transmitter. It is important to replace the batteries every 3 to 6 months in order to insure good operation of the system. Battery life depends on the number of times your dog activates the system. TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE 1. PROBLEM: The system is not functioning at all. 1.1 Is the indicator light on? No: See point 1.2. Yes: Your system is operating correctly. Turn the range button clockwise all the way. Bring the receiver with you and move away from the transmitter at a distance of about 1 to 1.5 m …

Model No.: Indoor Spray Barrier Serial No.: Engineering Unit Description: Perimeter Detection Transmitter Operating Voltage: 15 VAC 6. Product Description The Multivet International Spray Barrier™ is an indoor RF based detection system designed to effectively keep pets away from off-limit areas. This product combines electronics with a citronella spray system to alert the pet when it has intruded into the protected zone. The Spray Barrier ™ training system has 2 components: an emitter dish (Transmitter) and a spray receiver collar (supplied separately). The emitter dish is plugged into the regular household 120 VAC power mains. It generates a low frequency 10.5 kHz radio signal that is transmitted in all directions. As the pet approaches the emitter dish, the spray receiver collar will pick up the low frequency signal. The collar will at first emit a warning beeping sound to let your animal know it has reached the limit. Should he continue on, he will then receive a brisk spray of citronella. The Multivet Spray Barrier™ must be used in conjunction with Multivet International spray receiver collars and citronella refills. 7. Test Requirements The Multivet Spray Barrier™ was tested for Radiated Emissions to establish compliance with the limits set forth by Title 47 CFR, Parts 15.205, 15.207, and 15.209 as an intentional radiator. L.S. Compliance, Inc. Page 8 of 23 Test Report Number: 303191 Prepared For: Multivet International, Inc. 8. Summary of Test Report DECLARATION OF CONFORMITY The Multivet Spray Barrier™ was found to MEET the requirements as described within the specification of Title 47 CFR FCC, Parts 15.205, 15.207, 15.209 and Industry Canada I.C. RSS-210, Section 6 for an intentional radiator. The enclosed test results pertain to the samples of the test item listed, and only for the tests performed per the data sheets. Any subsequent modification or changes to the test items could invalidate the data contained herein, and could therefore invalidate the findings of this report. 9. Introduction On July 14 th and 15 th , 2003 a series of Radiated Emission tests were performed on one sample of the Multivet International model: “Indoor Spray Barrier”, Serial Number: “Engineering Unit”, here forth referred to as the “Equipment Under Test” or “EUT”. These tests were performed using the procedures outlined in ANSI C63.4-2001 for intentional radiators, and in accordance with the limits set forth in FCC Parts 15.207, 15.205 and 15.209 (Industry Canada RSS-210) for a transmitter or digital device. These tests were performed by Abtin Spantman, EMC Engineer of L…
