Maintenance of your MGG Radio-controlled Hidden Fencing System for Dogs 

 

Your MGG dog fence system requires very little maintenance.  However, there are a 
few tips which will assist the function and longevity of your system. 
 

  The wall transmitter is not waterproof and must be protected from the weather 

  During storms, unplug the wall transmitter and disconnect the boundary wire at the 

terminals.  Remove the collar-receiver from your dog 

  The collar-receiver is resistant to light rain showers but must not be fully immersed 

in  water  including  swimming,  rolling  in  puddles  etc.    This  will  cause  irreparable 
damage which will not be covered under warranty 

  On a weekly basis, manually test the entire system (as per the Quick System Test) 

to ensure all components are fully functioning.  This will also verify the signal-width 
field.  At the same time, check the probes on the collar-receiver and finger-tighten 
if  required.    Also, 

where  the  probes  make  contact  on  your dog’s neck,  check for 

sings of  irritation.  Should  this occur, rest your dog from the collar-receiver and if 
irritation  persists  beyond  48  hours  you  should  consult  the  advice  of  your 
veterinarian.    In  addition,  you 

may  need  to  trim  the  fur  under  your  dog’s  chin  to 

maintain good skin contact with the probes 

  Do not attempt to dismantle or repair any of the system components; this will void 

the manufacturer’s warranty.
