SHOCK MAT instructions: SHOCK MAT will prevent your pet from the location where you want to protect, preventing further damage.   Set up the batteries 1 Remove the battery cover by pressing down on the arrow and sliding it forward. 2 Install three new AA batteries. 3 Lay the SHOCK MAT down with the battery box facing up. 4 Pressing the power switch for about three seconds can turn on or off the unit. The power indicator light will be yellow when the unit is on, or it will remain off. 5 When the unit is on , pressing the switch shortly can choose the strength of static pulses(L / M / H). 6You are now ready to test your SHOCK MAT.   Testing the SHOCK MAT 1 Pressing the power switch for about 3 seconds until the power indicator light keeps lighting. 2 Touch the SHOCK MAT with the side of your hand, rather than your sensitive fingertips, to test its operation. 3 Once the SHOCK MAT senses your touch, its action indicator light flashes with BB sound ,and sends static pulses to the SHOCK MAT for 3 seconds; you will feel the pulses if you leave your hand touching across 2 wires. 4 If only the pet step on the SHOCK MAT, touch the wire with its legs, will cause the static pulses.   Positioning the SHOCK MAT Place the SHOCK MAT where you want to protect (tables, chairs, counters etc). Doorways: This can be the toughest job for the SHOCK MAT. If your pet tries to go around or jump over the SHOCK MAT, you can extend the area of coverage by adding an Extension Mat. If training a pet not to go through an entrance, we recommend using the door as an obstacle to slow your pet’s progress across the mat; if the entrance does not have a door, you can use a large object such as a box or chair. After your pet has experienced a few exposures, you can usually remove the object. Automobiles: the SHOCK MAT works well on automobile hoods, roofs and trunks. Please note: the SHOCK MAT may cause spotting on some automobile finishes when exposed to hot wet conditions. Always place a cloth underneath the SHOCK MAT when you are using it on a vehicle.   Training tips If your pet is persistent, it may take a couple of weeks to achieve your goal. Treat the training as a positive training experience with your pet. Be sure to praise it often and let the SHOCK MAT work normally. If however, you see your pet on the “wrong side” let it know right away. To see how many times your pet has tried to cross the SHOCK MAT, simply touch the power pack. The Action Indicator light will blink back the number of times it has been activated (subtract one for your touch). You can leave the SHOCK MAT in place until your pet begins to avoid the area, or you can leave it place permanently; it depends on how your pet reacts to the SHOCK MAT and how motivated they are to spend time in the area. Use the appropriate strength of static pulses for your pet: Low: kittens Medium: short-haired cats and small dogs High: long-haired cats, large dogs and doorways training. SHOCK MAT training should be used in conjunction with other training methods. We recommend consulting your pet’s veterinarian if your older pet is exhibiting a new problem as it could be indicative of an underlying medical condition,   Troubleshooting 1 The light blinks intermittently Make sure your SHOCK MAT is not in contact with anything metallic. Try turning off dimmer switches or any large electrical appliance that may cause electrical interference., 3 My pet steps on the SHOCK MAT, but doesn’t seem to feel anything, Confirm that the unit is working. If it is, try increasing the setting to high. Otherwise, leave the mat in place a little longer. Eventually, even well insulated paws will step on two wires and feel the pulses. 4 The light on the SHOCK MAT is only flickering. Make sure whether the electricity of batteries is enough, if not, please change a new set of batteries.   Safety and maintenance 1 2 Do not place metallic objects on the SHOCK MAT. 3 Do not use near open gasoline containers, fuels spills, or other volatile combustibles such as propane. 4 The manufacturer concluded that under normal use, the SHOCK MAT may not cause harmful interference 5 When not in use, follow the battery box as an axis (let the surfaced wire of the SHOCK MAT stay inside) and roll up your SHOCK MAT. Do not bend over the surface of the SHOCK MAT. 6 Clean your SHOCK MAT with wild soapy water, do not submerge the electronics in water. 7 If yourSHOCK MAT arrivers with creases, you can uncrease it by lying it flat in the sun, or by applying heat with a hairdryer on a low setting.   Terms of use and limitation of liability 1 Terms of use Usage of this product implies acceptance of all such terms, conditions and notices. 2 Proper use This product is designed for use with pets where training is desired.
