We live and walk near high power lines. Will exposure to the high power lines stop the tags from working?what about rain or swimming?

Don't know about high power lines. Rain and swimming OK, no problems. However, since they are on his collar, I take them off at the Groomer's.

I am sorry I do not know the answers to your guestions.. I have used the shoo tags with good results! And find it safer than flea products, that can make a dog sick. I would contact the shoo tag company they should be able to answer your question. We have high power lines about a mile away. And the tags worked ok for our dogs. Ruby

My dogs' swim in the lake all summer!!! I actually use a key ring or tie wrap to secure the tag in place. I do this to ensure it won't fall off. Sometimes the plastic tag will crack and the tag falls off. I just punch another hole and reattach (I've been fortunate enough to find it in the yard). It's not to hard to visualize the tags hanging from the collar for monitoring if they do come off.

It is not waterproof, no "O" rings to seal working parts. Will resist moderate drizzle/rain, or at least mine has so far. Light is really bright for such a small unit. I suggest you invest in Energizer Ultimate Lithium batteries. I know they are expensive, but they last a really long time in this unit. I got rid of the head band and used nylon cable ties to secure it to my safety vest.

Correction to my previous. The tag says keep SYSTEM dry, not just the power cord.

First off I do not know the conditions of the environment in which you intend on using your cord in. I would not recommend using the cord while its raining and I would not recommend using the cord if the cord is going to be submerged under any length of water. However if it had just stopped raining or if it's early in the morning dew on the ground it should be fine as long as the cord is in good condition and you're using good judgement. Extend the cord between the two points first and then plug it in. Make sure before you put the cord away that you unplug it from the source of electricity first.

http://tagsfordroid.com/nfc-tag-specs the tag enclosure is rated waterproof. I would imagine the adhesive would not be, however.

Haven't used mine in the rain, yet. I, personally, wouldn't hold it under water, but, I imagine, it would work in a light rain. It would be a good idea to lightly grease all "0" rings occasionally. Also, I don't use mine on high unless I need a massive light, to save battery life.

As to your question for us we have 2 and glad to have them. In Oklahoma the weather as you know can get bad in blink of an eye, We have used it in our storm shelter. It allow long lasting light, the hooks kept them in place. During our power outage we could eat, work, play cards. For us it works, price is good, battery life great.

It will go through clothing and will still be effective up to an inch away. The spark arcs pretty good. Of course I didnt actually test it on a person but im pretty sure a jolt from this and they will wet themselves.

i would say "water resistant" - they do fine in the rain, but i'm not sure how they would do if they were submerged in water! the collar is medium-weight nylon webbing with plastic hardware ... the battery and LEDs are enclosed in plastic, but may not be sealed.

Your electric Power needs to be protected from the elements. You could use solar/batteries for this as well, but no matter what you use, you have to seal all connections from the weather, wire connectors, tape, combination of all. If your connections are not completely sealed, they will short out what ever power source you use.

Maybe a light shower; but not a hurricane. I've worn mine everyday to work out, and sweat to the EXTREME, while the arm band was always soaked my phone was never wet. I just think too much rain (coming in a downward direction) would get through the top of the arm band (the location where the headphone plug in is)

The main transponder, which plugs into a wall outlet, cannot get wet. The wiring which is buried in your yard can get wet and will be fine underwater occasionally. I would be sure that you are not burying it in an are that could be subject to erosion causing the wire to be exposed and possibly snaring on something in the river.

I live on Kwajalein Atoll a south Pacific Island that has Ocean Salt spray and alot of rain. My transformer has been out for three months now and I have had no problems with it.

I leave it on all the time, including rain. On a couple of occasions, it did short out (triggering my ground fault interruption circuit), so you need to watch out for that. In my case, I have a refrigerator and freezer in my garage that are on the GFI circuit--so they'll shut off if the GFI gets triggered. Because of that, I don't leave the mosquito zapper on if I'm going to be away from the house for more than a day.

That's a great question! Something to ask the manufacturer for sure. I know they have been the best radios we have bought to this point. They are an inexpensive alternative to the big ones that do get that kind of range. We own an outdoor laser tag company, and use these for the employees in the field. Have never had a problem at all!

The package states normal wetting from rainfall will not effect it, but advise removing the collar when bathing. So, it doesn't sound like swimming with it on would be a good idea.

The 15 ft tethered float switch itself is rated for wet installation, so yes, it can go outdoors. The alarm module will need to be installed indoors or in a weather/wet tight box if you intend to use it outside. If you will use it in that manner be sure the power receptacle is weather protected in the same weather/wet tight box. On a related note make sure the alarm module is located where it can be heard. Mine is in the lowest level of my condo in a room below the stairs, but I can still hear it on the third level when I tested the system. It works quite well.
