Advanced Features
Anti-Linger Prevention
The Anti-Linger Prevention feature keeps your pet from staying in the
warning zone for long periods of time and draining the receiver collar’s
rechargeable battery. Your pet will hear a 2-second warning tone when he
reaches the warning zone. If your pet does not return to the pet area after
2 seconds, he will receive a continuous static correction until he returns to
the pet area or until the Over Correction Protection feature is enabled.
Run Through Prevention
This system includes a unique Run Through Prevention feature so that your
pet cannot “run through” the pet area without receiving an increased level
of static correction (
20A ).
YardMax
®
Mode (A)
When your pet crosses over the wire and passes the warning zone, static
correction is activated. The ideal warning zone distance is where the
receiver collar activates between 1 to 1
1
⁄
2
ft. above your pet’s neck height.
If you have a very timid pet, you may increase the warning zone distance to
allow more distance before the Run Through Prevention. You can accomplish
this by increasing the height of the receiver collar activation.
Traditional Mode (B)
The receiver collar automatically increases the static correction when your
pet continues more than 20% of the way through the boundary width.
For example, if the signal is detected 10 ft. from the wire and your pet enters
the static correction zone, this feature is activated when he is approximately
8 ft. from the boundary wire. Your pet will then receive a static correction
that is at an increased level corresponding to the static correction level
setting on the receiver collar.
Over Correction Protection
Over Correction Protection is designed to protect your pet from prolonged
static correction if he “freezes” in the static correction zone or runs beyond
the boundary (
20B
).
YardMax
®
Mode (A)
In the unlikely event that your pet “freezes” or continues beyond the
boundary, the static correction duration continues for 15 seconds. The
receiver collar locks out further static correction and the green light will
remain on for 10 seconds. The receiver collar remains locked out until your
pet re-enters the pet area.
Traditional Mode (B)
In the unlikely event that your pet “freezes” in the static correction zone, this
feature limits the static correction duration to 15 seconds. While the receiver
collar locks out further static correction, the green light will remain on for
10 seconds. The receiver collar remains locked out until your pet leaves the
static correction zone.

System Test
The system test is used to determine the cause of system problems that
have not been addressed elsewhere in this guide. You will need a piece of
boundary wire greater than 15 ft. long with
3
⁄
8
in. of insulation removed from
each end to use as a test loop wire.
Follow the steps below to perform the system test:
1. Make a note of the mode (A or B), the width/height setting and your
collar setting so that you can return to these levels at the completion of
the tests.
2. Turn off the transmitter.
3. Remove the collar from your dog and make sure it is fully charged.
4. Set the collar correction level to 6.
5. Disconnect the boundary wires from the boundary wire terminals on the
fence transmitter.
6. Insert the two ends of the test loop wire into the open boundary wire
terminals on the transmitter.
7. Turn the transmitter back on.
8. Set to Traditional mode (B).
9. Adjust the boundary width setting to 2 ft.
10. Place the test light tool contacts on the contact points of the collar.
While holding the collar with the test light tool in place, approach
the wire from the outside loop, keeping the collar 2 in. off the ground
(
21A
). Make a mental note of the distance where the collar activates
from the wire.
11. Set the boundary width to 5 ft. and repeat step 8. The distance where
the collar activates should be greater than the previous result.
12. If more than one collar is used on the system, repeat the above test on
each collar.
13. Interpreting the results:
a. If the LCD display is not lit on the fence transmitter, or the alarm is
on for any of the above tests, there is a problem with the transmitter.
Contact the Customer Care Center.
b. If the LCD display is on, but the collar does not activate on the
test loop wire, the collar is not working. Contact the Customer
Care Center.
c. If the LCD display is on, and the collar is activating at different
distances on the test loop wire, the problem is most likely in the
containment boundary wire—see the wire break location test.
14. When the testing is complete, reconnect and verify that the boundary
wire is plugged into the transmitter.
15. Return the mode, the width/height setting and the collar setting to their
original levels.
