Performance Series R7 & R8 Receiver Battery Instructions
The lightweight radio receiver worn by the dog identifies the coded FM radio signal from the boundary wire. It creates an audible warning followed by stimulation if he comes too close to the boundary wire. It operates on a replaceable battery and is waterproof when the battery cap is securely fastened.
Battery Insertion Instructions Important: You must reset the “Battery Reminder” Feature when you change the battery.
Resetting The Battery Reminder Feature
R8 Battery: The R8 battery is powered by a 3.6 volt lithium battery. The receiver is designed for long battery life of up to two years. The positive (+) end of the battery must be inserted down.

If your DogWatch Dealer does not offer a battery plan, you can join the DogWatch Battery Program, where a new battery is mailed to you every 6 or 24 months.
