700 Series — Find Your Frequency
The frequency setting tells your transmitter and collar how to communicate. You'll need to remove your transmitter's cover to find it.
Step 1 — Remove the Cover
🔧 How to Open Your 700 Series Transmitter
- Gently press on the bottom center tab to remove the cover

Reference: Example of the frequency setting switch on a 700 Series unit
🔍 Locating the Frequency Setting
- With the cover open, look at the circuit board for a small black toggle switch labeled "7K" and "10K".
- The position of the switch indicates the frequency setting of your system.
- Alternatively, If you have an ICT-50 or ICT-100 system, check the sticker on the board for a printed "7K" or "10K" marking.

800 Series — Series Compatibility Check
Some 800 Series transmitters have a board-level setting that lets them use either 800 Series or 700 Series receiver collars. We need to check if your unit has this feature — and if so, what it's set to.
Open the Transmitter
Determine If Your Board Has an 8xx/7xx Setting
- Remove the cover by pressing the tab down and towards you, in order to unhook it.
- With the cover off, look for a small indicator light on the board labeled “8xx” and “7xx” — not all ICT-801/802 units have this setting.
- If your board has an 8xx/7xx setting, it determines whether the transmitter communicates with 800 Series or 700 Series collars.
- The ICT-801 was produced with both black and green circuit boards, so your unit may look slightly different from the one shown.

800 Series — Which Mode Is It Set To?
Your 800 Series board has a series compatibility setting. Now we need to confirm whether it's currently set to 8xx mode (uses 800 Series collars) or 7xx mode (uses 700 Series collars).
🔍 How to Read the Setting
- Is the light illuminated next to 8xx or 7xx?

800 Series (7xx Mode) — Find Your Frequency
Your 800 Series transmitter is set to 7xx mode, which means it uses 700 Series receiver collars. Now locate the frequency setting on your transmitter's circuit board.
🔍 How to Find the Frequency Setting on an 800 Series Board
- With the cover still removed, look for another indicator light with 7K and 10K printed next to it.
💡 Tip: The frequency setting is in the same area as the 8xx/7xx setting you found in the previous step.

Boundary Plus™ — Find Your Frequency
The Boundary Plus system uses a specific receiver collar that must match the frequency your transmitter is set to. Let's find that setting.
Step 1 — Access the Transmitter Settings
🔧 How to Access Your Boundary Plus Transmitter settings
- Push in and up on the 3 small ridges on the upper center of the case. That will slide up the top cover to reveal the settings.
- If the settings cover falls off, it easily clips right back on.
- If you have the larger dual-loop model, there is a button at the bottom of the case that you push to remove the front cover.
- Once open, look for a small light illuminated next to either 7K or 10K.
