Monthly Signal Field Width Test
You should always be aware of your system’s signal field width.
Check the width of the signal field from only one place on the signal field
loop wire. Always check the signal field width from the same place. Take the
Boundary Plus
®
Computer Collar
®
off your pet to measure the signal field width.
1. Hold the Invisible Fence
®
Brand Boundary Plus
®
Computer Collar
®
so it is
parallel to the signal field wire.
2. Hold the collar so it is about the same height and at the same angle as it will
be when the pet is wearing it.
3. Walk slowly toward the signal field wire. The Computer Collar
®
will activate when you
reach the buried signal field wire.
Do NOT touch the correction posts at this time!
4. Move back into the safe area, raise the Computer Collar
®
to twice the height of your pet
and repeat Step 3. The Computer Collar
®
will activate when you reach the buried signal field wire.
If the Computer Collar
®
does not sound a warning tone where the edge of the signal is supposed to be, immediately call
your Invisible Fence
®
Brand Dealer for service. Use a leash (lead) or other means to contain your pet until all necessary
service has been completed.
