Pet Area too much. We recommend a 3.7 m - 6 m
(12 ft - 20 ft) Boundary Width.
Note: The Boundary Width Control knob does not
change the Static Correction Level.
CAUTION
To prevent an unintended
correction:
- The receiver collar should not be on your
dog when the system is tested.
- Remove the receiver collar before
making any changes to your system.
- Before placing the receiver collar on your
pet, test the boundary location and width
after any change.
To identify the Warning and Static Correction
Zones, make sure the Receiver Collar battery is
properly installed and the Test Light Contacts
are touching the Contact Points (
6C, 6D
). For
best results, select a section of straight Boundary
Wire that is at least 15 m (50 ft) long. Hold the
Test Light contacts to the Contact Points. (
6D
).

Walk toward the Boundary Wire with Contact Points pointing up and holding the Receiver
Collar at your pet’s neck level (
6E
) until the Receiver Collar beeps and the Test Light
fl ashes (
6F
).
Note: The Receiver Collar is waterproof, which can make the beep hard to hear.
If the Receiver Collar does not beep at the desired range, adjust the Boundary Width
Control knob to the desired setting. Turning the Boundary Width Control knob
clockwise increases the Boundary Width while turning it counterclockwise decreases
it (
6B
). Repeat this activity as needed until the Receiver Collar beeps at the desired
distance from the Boundary Wire.
Note: The fl ashing Test Light Tool, when held to the Contact Points, indicates the Receiver Collar
is delivering Static Correction.
The numbers on the Boundary Width Control knob indicate signal strength and are not
representative of Boundary Width footage. If adjusting the Boundary Width Control
knob does not give the desired range, adjust the Boundary Control Switch to another
setting to achieve your desired range. If using a Double Loop, you may need to increase
the separation of the Boundary Wire to achieve desired range.

The Receiver Collar beeps as a warning tone and ticks when delivering a Static Correction. After hearing the beep,
continue to walk towards the wire. The Receiver Collar should tick and the Test Light should fl ash, indicating the
Static Correction as you enter the Static Correction Zone (
6G
). A warning tone and the fl ashing of the Test Light
indicate that the Receiver Collar and the system are working properly. Test in a number of different areas until you
are satisfi ed that the system is functioning properly.
Next walk all around the Pet Area to ensure there are no areas where the Receiver Collar may activate from signals
coupled onto buried wires or cables. Test the collar in and around the inside or the house as well. As mentioned,
cable and wires from cable TV, electrical or telephone lines may conduct pet fencing signals inside and outside the
house that can activate the dog’s collar accidentally. While rare, if this occurs your Boundary Wire is probably too
close to these outside lines and should be moved or modifi ed as shown in fi gure
3A
. If you are satisfi ed that your
system is functioning properly, you are ready to start burying the Boundary Wire. If the Receiver Collar did not beep
or the Test Light did not fl ash, see the “Troubleshooting” section.
Note: The Boundary Width is broken down into 20% Warning Zone and 80% Static Correction Zone.
