HOW IT WORKS
The Sunbeam® Essential In-Ground Fencing System is a training aid that helps train your dog to stay within a
defined boundary. The System uses a wire to create a Boundary Zone where your dog will receive a Warning
Tone and a Static Correction. Flags are arranged along the Boundary Zone to give your dog a visual aid. The
area encompassed by the Boundary Flags is the Safe Zone. The Safe Zone is the area where your dog can
roam without receiving a Warning Tone or Static Correction from the Receiver Collar. The Boundary Flags
can be removed at the end of the training process.
The Sunbeam® Essential In-Ground Fencing System uses the buried wire to broadcast a radio signal. The
buried wire acts as an antenna converting the signal into electromagnetic waves. The Base Transmitter
controls the range of the signal around the wire. Inside the Sunbeam® Essential Receiver Collar is a small
radio receiver. When the dog moves close to the Boundary Zone, the Receiver Collar will release a Warning
Tone so your dog knows it is nearing the Boundary Zone. If your dog moves into the Boundary Zone, it will
receive a Static Correction.
To achieve the best results with the Sunbeam® Essential In-Ground Fencing System, it is important that you
complete the training that is included in your Sunbeam® Essential In-Ground Fencing System. You can also
obtain this Training Manual at www.sunbeampets.com. The System is not a solid fence and will not contain
your pets as well as a solid fence. Do not allow your dog to run free until the training process is complete.
Keep your dog on a leash, tied down, or confined to a separate area until training is complete. Proper
training is necessary to achieve the best results.
