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, on the ground floor of your home.
•  In a dry, well ventilated, protected area.
•  In an area where temperatures do not fall below -10°F (-23°C).
•  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.

•  Do not place anything on top of transmitter or cover any ventilation holes. This may overheat the transmitter and cause 

early transmit failure.

•  Do not place transmitter in a closet or any other confined, unventilated area.
•  Do not place transmitter on or near a metal surface.

Wall Mount the Transmitter

1.  Place bracket against the wall in position to be hung (

1C

).

2.  Mark the 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 (

1D

).

To maximize your pet area, make sure the boundary switch is on “+” and the boundary control dial is set to “8” (

1E

). Plug power adaptor 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 adaptor 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 adaptor into the power jack of your transmitter.
