Step 3: Adjust the Pet Area to Desired Size

Make sure the entire Pet Area lies within your property boundaries (

3A

). Always start determining the 

Boundary Zone at the shortest distance from Transmitter. Place the Boundary Switch on “–” if the  

Boundary Zone will be less than 45 feet from the Transmitter.

Note: If your next-door neighbor has a containment system, see Troubleshooting section page 26.

Test Light Instructions

1. Make sure the Receiver Collar battery is properly installed.

2. Set the Correction Level to 2 or above.

3. Hold the Test Light Contacts to the Contact Points (

3B

).

4. Walk toward the Boundary Zone holding the Receiver collar at your pet’s neck  

level (

3C

) until the Test Light flashes (

3D

).

Save Test Light for future testing.

Note: If the Test Light does not flash, check the battery status by turning the receiver off, then 

on and verify the light is green. If the light is red install a new battery and re-test. If Test Light  

still does not flash, contact the Customer Care Center at 1-800-732-2677.

To maximize your Pet Area, make sure the Boundary Switch is on “+” and the  

Boundary Control Dial is set to “8”. Plug Power Adapter into Power Jack and  

standard 120-volt outlet. Turn the transmitter on.

Two-Person Method

Hold the Receiver Collar at your pet’s neck height (

3C

) with logo side facing away from 

the Transmitter and Contact Points facing upwards. Walk to the edge of the desired  

Pet Area. Facing away from the Transmitter, hold the Receiver Collar at the edge of  

the desired Pet Area (

3D

). 

Starting with the Boundary Control Dial set to “8”, have a second person turn the dial 

down SLOWLY. When the Receiver Collar tone starts, tell the person to stop turning  

the Boundary Control Dial. Walk back into the Pet Area until the receiver stops sounding. 

Verify the Pet Area boundary by walking towards the Boundary Zone and verifying that 

the tone/test light flashes begin at the desired location. Test at multiple locations around 

the Pet Area to verify the Pet Area is within your desired location. Record your settings 

below for future reference.

One-Person Method

Measure the shortest distance from the desired Boundary Zone to the Transmitter.  

Find the distance on the Transmitter Range Chart on page 13 and set the Boundary 

Switch and Boundary Control Dial. Hold the Test Light Contacts to the Contact Points 

(

3B

). Take the Receiver Collar to the Boundary Zone with the logo side facing away from 

the Transmitter and Contact Points facing upwards (

3C

). Hold the Receiver Collar at  

your pet’s neck level (

3D

) until the Receiver Collar tone sounds and the Test Light 

flashes. If the Receiver Collar tone sounds before or after the desired Boundary Zone, 

return to the Transmitter and adjust the Boundary Control Dial. Repeat this process until 

the Receiver Collar tone sounds at the desired location. Record your settings on page  

13 for future reference.
