• Base Transmitter: Sends the radio signal through the Boundary Wire .
• Boundary Flags: A visual aid for the dog. The Boundary Flags will remind the dog where the Boundary Zone
is located .
• Boundary Zone: The Boundary Zone is the area beyond the Boundary Flags where the dog will receive a Static
Correction. The dog will hear a Warning Tone as it approaches the Boundary Zone and will receive a Static
Correction if they do not return to the Safe Zone immediately.
• Boundary Wire: The wire that gives off a radio signal when the Base Transmitter is powered on .
• Exclusion Zones: Areas in your layout such as gardens, pools or other lawn decorations, that you want to
protect. You can exclude these areas from your layout while still giving your dog access to your yard.
• Receiver Collar: The dog wears the Receiver Collar, which receives the radio signal from the Boundary Wire.
The Receiver Collar will emit a Warning Tone when the dog nears the Boundary Zone. If the dog continues to
the Boundary Zone the collar will emit a Static Correction.
• Safe Zone: The area where the dog can roam without receiving a Warning Tone or Static Correction from the
Receiver Collar .
• Safe Spot: An area where there is Twisted Wire and the dog can walk through without receiving a warning or
Static Correction .
• Twisted Wire: Twisted Wire is used in your layout where you want to cancel out the signal . This means your
dog can pass through these Safe Spots without receiving a Static Correction. The most common area for the
Safe Spot is the area running from your Base Transmitter to the main loop of your Boundary Zone.
• Static Correction: A static pulse emitted from the Receiver Collar.
• Test Light: The provided tool used to test the connection between the Receiver Collar and the Boundary Wire.
You will use the Test Light when creating your Boundary Zone.
