Proceed around the back yard until you return to the opening
leading to the wall transmitter. This design will keep the back
entrances to the house free from corrective signals.
Your containment installation can be customized to protect
areas such as gardens, pools, and specific landscaping. To
accomplish this, encircle the protected area with containment
wire. Cut a length of white twisted wire equal to the distance
between the protected area and the containment perimeter.
Use waterproof splices to connect the twisted wire to the con-
tainment wire at the perimeter and at the protected area. The
containment signal is cancelled where the twisted wire is
located thus allowing your dog to run around the garden or
pool without receiving correction. The containment signal
around the protected area will keep your dog out just as the
perimeter containment wire keeps him in.
Once you are satisfied with the layout of your containment
system, it is time to choose a proper location for the wall-
mount transmitter.
B.Installing the Wall-Mount Transmitter
1. Select a Location for the Wall-Mount Transmitter.
Select a location for the wall-mount transmitter that is within
five feet of a standard, grounded 110-volt household outlet
and will provide easy access to an exterior wall where the
containment wire can penetrate. When selecting a location,
keep in mind that you will need easy access to the transmitter
for recharging the receiver. If possible, avoid plugging the unit
into an outlet that is protected by a ground fault current inter-
rupter (GFCI). The GFCI will not interfere with the normal
operation of your system, but in rare cases lightning strikes
may cause a GFCI outlet to trip (disconnect power), and you
would need to reset the GFCI to restore household power to
the system. If you must use a GFCI protected outlet, make
sure you take advantage of the system's battery backup fea-
ture (described in Step 3 of this procedure). Also check the
location where you want to bring the outside wires through the
wall and into the wall transmitter to avoid electrical or tele-
phone wires, television cables, or water pipes. Even after
checking, there may be unknown wires or pipes inside the
wall. Therefore, consider going through a windowsill or door
frame whenever possible . Mark the desired location with a
pencil.
The transmitter may be mounted on a hollow wall or directly
to a wall stud using the provided mounting hardware. The
wall-mount transmitter must be located in a dry, enclosed area
where the temperature range will be between 32˚F and 110˚F
(0˚C to 45˚C). Preferable locations are the garage, laundry
room, office, or finished basements. These areas are used
frequently, so the system information generated by the wall
transmitter is likely to be checked more regularly. For ease in
monitoring this information, mount the transmitter at least four
feet from the floor.
2. Install the Mounting Plate.
Remove the mounting plate from the back of the transmitter
by lightly depressing the dot on the top tab (see illustration)
and lifting the transmitter housing off the mounting plate.
Making sure the mounting plate is level, use the mounting
plate as a template to transfer the position of the two mount-
ing holes onto the mounting location by tracing the holes with
a pencil.
Make sure there are no electrical wires or other objects direct-
ly behind the mounting-hole locations that might be damaged
when the mounting screws are installed.
For hollow wall installations, drill 1/4-inch diameter holes at
the marked locations and tap in the hollow wall fasteners with
a hammer. For installation of mounting screws directly into a
