Operating Guide
Step 1: Set Up the Transmitter
Important:
You may need to move the Transmitter several times before determining the final location.
The Transmitter is located at the exact center of the Pet Area.
Place the transmitter:
• At least 2 feet above the floor located on
the ground floor of your home.
• In a dry, well ventilated, protected area.
• In an area where temperatures do not fall
below -10º F.
• Mounted to a wall, on a non-metal table
or other hard surface to ensure proper
ventilation (
1A
).
• At least 3 feet from large metal objects, as these items may reduce the size and shape of your Pet Area (
1B
).
Placing the Transmitter inside a metal building or shed can reduce the maximum range of the system.
You may mount the Transmitter on a wall.
Wall Mounting the transmitter
1. Place bracket against wall in position to be hung
(1D)
.
2. Mark hole locations.
3. If mounting directly to the wall studs, drill 1/16 inch pilot holes for the screws.
Anchors would not be needed. If mounting to dry wall using the mounting
anchors, drill 1/4” holes and insert anchors completely into the holes.
4. Screw bracket to the wall.
5. Place the bottom edge of transmitter against the bracket making sure the
screw recesses are over the bracket hooks on both sides.
6. Rotate transmitter up and push firmly until the top latch locks into place
(1E)
.
To maximize your Pet Area, make sure the Boundary Switch is on “+” and the
Boundary Control Dial is set to “8” (
1C
). Plug Power Adapter into Power Jack
and standard 120-volt outlet. Turn the Transmitter ON.
The Transmitter has a built in Power Loss Alarm. This alarm sounds an
intermittent tone alarm indicating power has been removed from the Transmitter.
The alarm will sound for at least 20 minutes. If power is removed from the unit,
your pet is no longer contained.
There are two ways to turn off the Power Loss Alarm:
1. Plug the power cord back into a functional 120-volt outlet. The unit assumes power has been
suspended because of an accident such as a child unplugging the cord, thus sounding the tone.
2. Unplug Transmitter Power Adapter from the Power Jack located on the bottom of the Transmitter,
indicating power is intentionally being suspended.
When your power is restored, be sure to reconnect the Power Adapter into the Power Jack of your
Transmitter.
