Your Invisible Fence
®
Brand Dealer has professionally installed your pet containment system and ensured it is working
properly. You will want to perform periodic maintenance checks to make sure the system is properly functioning for your
pet’s safe containment.
Periodic Maintenance Checks
System Device
How often
What to look for
Transmitter
Daily
Check the LED Status Indicator Light (see page 5) on the
front of the unit to verify power.
Signal Field Width
Monthly and after a
thunderstorm
Verify the signal fi eld wire is active throughout the property,
see Monthly Signal Field Width Test below.
Monthly Signal Field Width Test
(Always perform this test after a thunderstorm)
You should always be aware of your system’s signal fi eld width.
Check the width of the signal fi eld from only one place on the signal fi eld
loop wire. Always check the signal fi eld width from the same place. Take the
Computer Collar
®
unit off your pet to measure the signal fi eld width.
1. Hold the Invisible Fence
®
Brand Computer Collar unit so it is parallel to
the signal fi eld wire.
2. Hold the collar so it is about the same height and at the same angle as it
will be when the pet is wearing it.
3. Walk slowly toward the signal fi eld wire. The receiver will activate when
you reach the edge of the signal fi eld. Do NOT touch the correction posts
at this time!
If the receiver does not sound a warning tone where the edge of the signal
is supposed to be, immediately call your Invisible Fence Brand Dealer for
service. Use a leash or other means to contain your pet until all necessary
service has been completed.
