Product Features and Operating Instructions
The DogWatch
®
MB-2 is a
dual function transmitter designed to be used either with or without an
attached boundary wire.
Troubleshooting
If your pet enters the signal field 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 wire) or
increase the correction level on the collar. Reminder: Never adjust the transmitter or the correction
level while your pet is wearing the receiver collar.
Receiver
•
Check to see if the transmitter is turned ‘ON’.
•
Take the receiver collar off the dog and check the receiver by placing the test light on the
contact posts while holding the receiver next to your wireless transmitter or the boundary wire. If
your test light lights up, your receiver is working properly. Be sure not to touch the contact posts.
•
Make sure the collar fits and the contact points on the receiver actually touch your pet’s skin.
•
Be sure the receiver battery is inserted correctly.
•
Replace the battery as needed. Average battery life varies depending on use
.
Typical battery life is: R7 receiver = 6 months. R9 receiver = up to 2 years. SmartCollar = up to 1 year.
Transmitter
•
Check to see if the transmitter is plugged-in and turned “ON”. If functioning properly, the Status
Light should be illuminated solid green (or blinking green depending on the Frequency setting.)
•
If using a wire, make sure the wire is properly connected and is separated to create a Signal
Field. Make sure the end is stripped and twisted together to create a continuous signal loop.
•
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.

Signal Range
Signal range is the
distance the signal radiates
from the transmitter or the
boundary wire.
•
Turn the knob toward the ‘Max’ to increase the signal range.
This increases the size of the signal field.
•
Turn the knob toward the ‘Min’ to decrease the signal range.
This decreases the size of the signal field.
Never adjust the signal range while your pet is wearing the receiver collar.
Always test the signal field and mark the edge of the field with warning flags
before allowing your pet near the boundary area.
Frequency
This switch controls the broadcast frequency of the signal.
Do NOT change this setting. It is for DEALER USE ONLY.
Turning ON/OFF - Status Light
Press the Power Button to turn the unit ON.
The Status Light will illuminate green
indicating the unit is ON. The green light indicates that the signal is being sent.
•
When using a boundary wire, the Status Light glows green only when there
is a
continuous signal loop
. See instructions on page 3.
Note: The green light may either be steady green or blinking green. This depends
on the Frequency setting of the transmitter.
Press the Power Button to turn the unit OFF
. A red light will illuminate indicating
the unit is powering OFF.

How the System Works
The MB-2 transmits a silent radio signal that is recognized by a special
receiver collar
worn by your pet.
• When used
without an attached boundary wire, the signal is transmitted a set distance from the
transmitter. The signal can be adjusted from 18 inches to 13 feet in diameter to create a pet-free
avoidance area.
• When used
with a boundary wire, the signal comes from the wire. The wire may be installed to the
shape and size you need to create either an
avoidance area (to keep your pet out of an area) or a
containment area (to keep your pet within an area).
At the edge of the signal, there 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. 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.
