To ensure your system works as designed, please follow these step-by-step directions for proper setup. I.
power shortages and proper function, install the Fence Transmitter inside a building or covered area away from the elements. Place the Fence Transmitter in a dry area where the temperature will not fall below freezing and at least three feet from any major appliance. II. Layout the system and position the boundary wire: Design a Boundary Wire layout that is suitable for your yard. The Boundary Wire must start at the Fence Transmitter and make a continuous loop back.
III. Connect the boundary wire to the Fence Transmitter: Strip the ends of the Boundary Wire and Insert each into the Boundary Wire Terminals of Fence Transmitter to make a complete loop. Plug the Power Adaptor into the Power Jack of the Fence Transmitter and AC power supply outlet.

activity as needed until the Receiver Collar vibrates at the desired distance from the Boundary wire. The Receiver Collar vibrates as a warning . After hearing the vibration, continue walking toward the Boundary Wire. The Receiver Collar will then emit a static shock, indicating you’ve entered the Correction Zone. The Receiver Collar has one vibration and static correction without the Remote Trainer.
VI. Install the Boundary Wire: Installation of the Boundary wire begins with burying the wire to protect it and prevent people, animals, or even weather to disrupt the wire and break your continuous loop. To start, cut a trench 1-3 inches deep along your planned boundary. Place the Boundary Wire into the trench maintaining some slack to allow it to expand and contract with temperature variations.
can be attached as high as needed; however, make sure the Boundary Width is set at a high enough range for the pet to receive the signal. The Boundary Wire can also be placed above the ground inside a conduit for protection. Important: If attaching the boundary Wire to an existing fence the fence cannot be made of solid metal sheeting as this will interfere with the signal emitted from the transmitter box. VII.
process around the Warning Zone until it is marked with Boundary Flags approximately every 10 feet. VIII. Fit the Receiver Collar: Now that you’ve set the Boundary Area, it’s time to fit your dog with his collar. Begin by placing the collar strap in the middle of your dog’s neck. The receiver should be on the underside of his neck; however, on some dogs the receiver will naturally seek a slightly off-center position. Tighten the buckle by holding it with two fingers as you pull the strap snug.
