MB-1
Product Features and Operating Instructions
The DogWatch® MB-1 is a battery operated indoor/outdoor mobile boundary
hidden fence transmitter designed to create small pet-free areas.
The MB-1 can be used to train your pet to stay away from specific objects or areas indoors or
outdoors, such as the sofa, bed, kitchen table or counter, the trash or cat’s litter box, garden,
pool or children’s play area, for example.
Troubleshooting
If your pet enters the avoidance area without responding to the correction signal, make sure that both
the transmitter and the receiver collar are “on” and working. If both the transmitter and the receiver are
functioning properly, you may need to increase the signal range on the transmitter or the correction
level on the collar.
Reminder:
Never adjust the transmitter or the correction level while your pet is
wearing the receiver collar.
Transmitter
•
Check to see if the transmitter is charged and turned ‘on’. If functioning properly, the status light
should be
blinking
.
•
Check the
Rate Setting
on the back of the transmitter. Increase the rate if necessary.
•
Check the
Range Setting
on the back of the transmitter. Increase the range if necessary. Too small
a signal field may allow your pet to get too close to the boundary area before receiving a warning.
Receiver Collar
•
Make sure the transmitter is turned ‘on’.
•
Make sure that the collar fits and the contact posts on the receiver collar touch your pet’s skin.
•
Take the receiver collar off the dog and place the test light on the contact posts while holding the
receiver next to your MB-1 transmitter. If your test light lights up, your receiver is working properly.
Be sure you are not touching the contact posts.
•
Check the receiver battery:
1) Is it inserted correctly?
2) Does it need to be replaced?
Typical battery life: R7 receiver = up to 6 months. R9 receiver = up to 2 years.
reminder:
Remove the receiver collar at night or when not in use to prevent skin irritation/pressure sores.
NOTE:
Do not position the transmitter on or near large metal objects.
How the System Works
The MB-1 transmits a silent radio signal that is recognized by a special
receiver collar
worn by your
pet. The signal can be adjusted from 4 feet to 8 feet in diameter to create a pet-free ‘avoidance area’.
The outer edge of the
boundary area
is a
warning zone
. As your pet approaches the warning
zone, the receiver collar starts ‘beeping’ to alert your pet that he is too close to the boundary area.
With training (page 3), your pet learns that if he goes beyond the warning zone, the beep is quickly
followed by a ‘correction’ (an unpleasant, but safe, sensation from the receiver collar). Your pet will
learn to stay away from areas he associates with the warning beep.

Up to 4 feet
maximum
“sideways”
from the

Up to 5 feet maximum above
(and under) the transmitter.
Signal Range
The signal radiates in all directions around the transmitter (as if it were in the
center of a large ball).
• The maximum “horizontal” (sideways) signal is 4 feet from the center
of the transmitter (8 feet maximum diameter).
• The maximum “vertical” signal above (and under) the transmitter is 5 feet
from the top of the transmitter.
Setting the Boundary Area
Set the
signal rate
and the
range
(see pages 2 & 3) then
place the
MB-1 transmitter in the center of
the pet-free area.
For example,
on a counter, in the garden, near
a doorway or under a piece of
furniture.
Test the signal field and place
the training flags before putting
the collar on your dog.
To locate the signal field, place
the test light on the contact posts
and move toward the transmitter
until you hear the warning beeps.
Avoid touching the contact posts.
