Install the Surge Protector & Connect the Wires (4A)
• Do not install, connect, or remove your system during a lightning storm. If the storm is close enough for you to hear
thunder, it is close enough to create hazardous surges.
• Turn off power to outlet before you install or remove your surge protector.
• Risk of electrical shock or fire. Use surge protector only with a duplex outlet with center screw. Attach unit with
long screw supplied.
• Risk of electric shock. Use the fence transmitter and surge protector indoors in dry location only.
• Do not install the surge protector if there is not at least 30 ft. (10 m) or more of wire between the electrical outlet and
electrical service panel.
• If possible, DO NOT use an AC circuit protected with a GFCI (ground fault circuit interrupter). In rare cases, nearby
lightning strikes may cause the GFCI to trip. Without power your dog may be vulnerable to escape. You will have to
reset the GFCI to restore power to the system.
• Plug the surge protector into a grounded (3-prong) outlet that is within 5 ft. of the fence transmitter. ALWAYS use a
grounded (3-prong) outlet to ensure maximum protection.
• Do not remove the ground prong from the surge protector plug. Do not use a 3-prong plug to 2-prong outlet converter.
Doing so will make the surge protector ineffective against surges or spikes.
1. Turn the power OFF to the outlet
that the surge protector and fence
transmitter will be plugged into.
2. We recommend that, if possible, use
the outlet center screw that holds the
cover plate in place to secure the surge
protector to the outlet. To do this, tape
the top of the cover plate to the wall,
then remove the cover plate center
screw. Plug the surge protector into the
lower outlet and then secure the cover
plate using the longer screw included
with the protector. The screw is for
mechanical attachment only and does
not ground the protector. Remove the
tape and turn ON the power to the outlet.
3. Run the boundary wire through a window, under a door, through a crawl
space vent, or any other appropriate available access. You can also drill a
hole through your wall.
4. Strip 3⁄8 in. of insulation from the ends of the boundary wire. Insert
the stripped ends into the 2 left red connector holes on the bottom of
the surge protector labeled “Loop” (
4B
). There should be 1 wire in each
connector hole. Press the plastic tab, insert the wires and release the tab.
Make sure the wires do not touch each other at the terminals.
Verify that the boundary loop and transmitter wires connect to the proper surge
protector terminals. Reversed connections will result in an increased risk of surge
related damage.
5. Determine the length of wire needed to pass from the surge protector to the fence transmitter.
Measure and cut 2 lengths of wire, then strip 3⁄8 in. of insulation at both ends. Twist the 2 lengths
together, with at least 10-12 twists per ft., so the wires will not send out a signal.
6. Insert the ends of the twisted transmitter wires into the right 2 black connectors at the bottom of the
surge protector labeled “Transmitter”.
7. Press the red plastic tabs on the fence transmitter and insert the opposite ends of the twisted wire
into the boundary wire terminals.
8. Turn the boundary width control knob to 10. This will set the boundary width at the maximum width.
9. Plug in the transmitter power adaptor to the outlet on the front of the surge protector.
10. The power light and loop indicator lights should come on. If this does not happen, see the
“Troubleshooting” section.
For added protection, when unused for long periods of time or prior to thunderstorms, unplug from the wall outlet and
disconnect the loop boundary wires. This will prevent damage to the transmitter due to surges.

Prepare the Receiver Collar
Your receiver collar comes with short contact points installed. Use the long
contact points for pets with long or thick hair. Tighten the contact points
using the test light tool (
5A
) one-half turn beyond finger tight. Check the
tightness weekly.
To Insert and Remove the Receiver Collar Battery
Do not install the battery while the receiver collar is on your pet.
This receiver collar utilizes a replaceable Premier Pet
™
battery (GAC11-16351).
This unique battery is designed to make battery replacement easier and
increase water protection.
To insert the battery, align the symbols on the battery (arrow) and receiver
collar (triangle) (
5B
). Use the edge of the test light tool (
5A
) to turn the
battery clockwise until the arrow lines up with the lock symbol on the
housing.
To remove the battery, turn the battery counter-clockwise using
the edge of the test light tool (
5B
). DO NOT attempt to cut into or pry open
the battery. Be sure to discard the used battery properly. Battery life will
vary depending on how often your pet tests the system and receives a static
correction. Check the receiver collar every month to ensure the battery is
working properly.
If the receiver LED indicator light is flashing every 4 to 5 seconds, battery
replacement is required. Remove the old battery from the receiver collar.
Discharge all power by holding the correction level button down until the LED
is no longer illuminated. Replace with a new battery.
A replacement Premier Pet
™
battery (GAC11-16351) can be found at many
retailers. Contact the Customer Care Center or visit our web site at www.
premierpet.com to locate a retailer near you.
To Set the Static Correction Level
Read all steps before attempting to set the static correction Level.
1. Remove the clear plastic cover with the test light tool to expose the
correction level button (
5C
).
2. With the battery installed, press the correction level button and release
when the receiver indicator light lights up (
5D
).
3. The receiver indicator light will emit a series of flashes representing the
static correction Level.
4. Increase the static correction Level by pressing and releasing the
correction level button within 5 seconds of the previous series of flashes.
5. After setting the static correction Level, replace the cover to protect the
correction level button.
The static correction levels increase in strength from 1 to 5. Pushing the
correction level button while the receiver collar is on level 5 will cause the
receiver collar to revert to Level 1. Refer to the Function and Response Table to
choose the static correction level that best fits your pet.
The receiver collar is equipped to automatically increase the level of static
correction the longer your pet remains in the static correction zone if the collar
is set at level 2 or above.
The receiver LED indicator light acts as a low battery indicator, flashing every 4 to 5 seconds when
replacement is required.
