Troubleshooting

The receiver collar tone is not sounding 

when setting up the boundary zone.

•  Make sure the receiver collar is turned on and battery status lights are 

flashing every 4-5 seconds.

•  Charge receiver collar.
•  The tone may be difficult to hear in a noisy environment. 
•  Use test light as explained in the “test light instructions” section, and use it to 

determine the location of boundary zone.

•  Check that the transmitter is set up according to directions.

The receiver collar tone is not sounding 

or administering a static correction.

•  Check that the transmitter is plugged into a working 120 volt outlet, 

turned on, the power light is on, and the transmitter controls are set at your 

desired settings.

•  Make sure the receiver collar is turned on and battery status lights are flashing 

every 4-5 seconds.

•  Charge receiver collar.

The receiver collar tone is 

sounding everywhere.

•  Check that the transmitter is plugged into a working standard 120 volt outlet, 

turned on, the power light is on, and the transmitter controls are set at your 

desired settings.

The receiver collar tone is sounding 

inside the house.

•  It is recommended to remove the receiver collar from your pet when indoors 

to avoid activation of the receiver collar.

•  Make sure the transmitter is on and set up according to the directions. 
•  Ensure the entire house is within the pet area. The transmitter may need to be 

moved to adjust the pet area to include the entire house. 

•  If relocating the transmitter, remove the receiver collar from your pet before 

turning the transmitter off.

My pet is receiving a static correction in 

his metal crate.

•  The receiver collar activates when it loses the transmitter signal. The metal 

crate may block the transmitter signal which causes the receiver collar 

to activate.

•  Remove the receiver collar from your pet when placing him in his metal crate.

The boundary zone seems to fluctuate.

•  This is normal for the electromagnetic field of the Stay & Play

 Wireless Fence 

for Stubborn Dogs. The field may be affected by surrounding “electronic 

noise,” which can cause it to fluctuate up to 5%. 

•  The location the receiver collar activates is influenced by the speed and 

orientation of the receiver collar as your pet enters the boundary zone.

The receiver collar activates in the middle 

of the yard.

•  The receiver collar activates when it loses the transmitter signal. This 

sometimes occurs if a large metal object is between the receiver collar and 

transmitter, if the orientation of the receiver collar changes near the boundary 

zone, or if the surrounding “electronic noise” interferes with the signal. If 

this continues to occur, consider relocating the transmitter and resetting the 

pet area.

The receiver collar tone is sounding 

but my pet is not responding to the 

static correction.

•  Make sure the static correction level is set at 2 or above. 
•  Test the receiver collar with the test light.
•  If the test light flashes, check the fit of the receiver collar.
•  Trim your pet’s fur where the contact points touch the neck and/or switch to 

the longer contact points. 

•  Increase the static correction level. 
•  Repeat training steps to reinforce training.
