OPERATING GUIDE
STEP 1:
Positioning the Transmitter
The transmitter must be placed as follows:
•
In a dry, well-ventilated and protected area (
1A, 1B
)
•
In an area where temperatures do not fall below freezing (e.g. garage, basement, shed, closet)
•
Secured to a stationary surface using appropriate mounting hardware (not included)
•
At least 1-metre from large metal objects or electrical appliances which may interfere with the
consistency of the radio-signal (
1C
)
•
In a place where the boundary-wire can exit the building. This can be accomplished through a
4mm hole drilled through the wall or a window or door frame. Ensure the drill path is clear of
any utilities. Check to make certain the boundary-wire is not cut off, pinched by a window, door
or garage door which overtime, will cause damage to the system
To prevent fires and electrical hazards, install the transmitter in buildings that are in accordance
with national and local electrical safety standards.
STEP 2:
Basic tips for planning the layout for the Dog Containment Area
It is recommended that you read this entire manual BEFORE planning the design of
your dog’s
containment area. This will save time and avoid unnecessary changes.
•
Design a layout that is suitable for your yard. Sample layouts are provided in this section
•
The boundary-wire MUST START at the transmitter & make a continuous loop back to it (
2A
)
•
Always use gradual turns at the corners to produce a more consistent boundary (
2B
).
DO NOT use sharp turns which will cause gaps in the boundary of the dog containment area
•
Avoid making passageways which are too narrow for your dog to move about freely, for
example, along the sides of a house
Caution:
The boundary-wire must be laid at
least 2 metres from the walls of the
house. This is because electrical
cables in the walls can pick-up the
radio-signal and redistribute it via all
electrical cables in your house, garden
or shed. The same rule applies to
laying the boundary-wire within 2
metres of other out-buildings where
there are electrical cables in the wall
structure.
The collar-receiver must be removed
when your dog is inside the house.
This may require you to consider an
alternative layout. See sample layouts on page 6
