Q: Can the receiver be used an my pet's preheat collar?
A: Yes,
Q: How often do you have to replace the battery?
A: Every 3 to 6 months. Battery life depends on how often your dog tests the boundary & the
type of battery used.
Q: Haw tang does it lake to install?
A: Allow about 2 to 3 hours for a 500 ft. fence. It depends on layout, soil conditions, tools,
etc. A typical installation can be completed in one aftemoon.

I. Introduction
in How The System Works
The Pet Containment System consists of
three primary components:
TRANSMITTER, RECEIVER, and
BOUNDARY WIRE (antenna). The
transmitter is a very low frequency radio
transmitter that plugs into a standard outlet.
The signal it transmits is carried by the
boundary wire which serves as an antenna
The range ofthe signal (i.e. the distance
from the boundary wire to activate the
receiver) can be adjusted from a few feet up
to thirty feet by the range adjustment knob
located on the transmitter
EComponents Included
- Transmitter (Standard or Deluxe)
- Receiver (Standard or UltraLight)
- Collar
- An extra set of probes and washers

ll. Installation
Lay cut the area you plan to fence on a sheet ofgrifph paper, The transmitter will i
transmit A signal up to JO ft from your boundary wire Be sure to leave enough area
so that your dog can move about freely within the boundaries,
Basic Planning rules
' The wire must make a continuous loop back to the
transmitter.
- Twisting the wires cancels the signal However. twisting
three or more wires does not cancel the signal Wires must be
traveling in apposite directions to cancel the signal Make at least 10 twists per foot
- Always round corners (make 6 foot radius turns) when you are making turns,
Square corners confuse the signal,

mun nim- ran/luv m. timid
- When installing a double loop, wire must be sepanlted three to five feet to
avoid cancelling the signal

00‘s and DON‘TS of Installation
DO read all installation instructions before starting,
DON‘T nin wire along electrical wires. telephone wires. television cables or antenna, or near satellite dishes
DON‘T run parallel to power. telephone or other cables Cross at 90“ angles.
DON'T mount the transmitter near any large metal objects such as breaker boxes. water heaters, metal garage
door tracks, or washer and dryer
.__,
iLi Locate the transmitter
INDOORS ONLY, near an electrical outlet, and close to your anticipated ground
i see page 9).
Secure the transmitter to a mounting surface using the appropriate mounting
hardware and use the mounting templates located on page 15.
E Lay wire.
Lay the wire along your proposed boundary, Connect it to the transmitter and turn
the system on. Then. test the collar on the boundary wire to ensure it is working
properly Walk the entire perimeter to test the boundary Assemble your Receiver
Collar first described on page 9
E Splicing wire.
lfyott use more than the 500 ft ofwire, you will need to splice the wire together with the wire nuts.
Note the location ofall splices and file it with your manual to keep for future reference, Most wire breaks
oceur near the splices.
Begin by stripping the ends of the wires to be spliced. Insert the stripped ends into the wire nut and twist, then
pull making sure ol‘a solid cannection. Apply water-proofing compound (like silicone) in and around wire
nut After the compound dries, you may also wrap wired and wtre nut with electrical tape to prevent them from
pulling loose and to protect from moisture. If your splice or connection pulls loose, your entire system will i
fail Make sure of a secure connection.
f_‘
Lfl Burying the wire.
Cut a trench one to three inches deep along your
previously planned boundary Burying the wire is
recommended to prevent damage to the wire or transmitter
and to avoid possible injuries to persons tripping over the
exposed wire.

HUQ. E l996
E] Crossing hard surfaces
Lay the wire in a convenient expansion
joint or use a circular saw with a masonry
blade to create a groove, Place the wire in
the groove and cover with an appropriate
patching compOund. Your local hardware
store can help you choose the right
compound {or your type of driveway,

XV. Training Your Pet
Training tips
- Even though your dog may appear trained after one or two days. it is important to continue the training for
the entire founeen day peri ,
- During the training period. your pet should only be allowed in your yard on a leash It should not be allowed
to Freely cross the boundary at any time.
' Training can be very tiring for your pet so limit training periods to lo or IS minutes
' Let other family members share in the training so that your pet doesn’t relate the training to only one
member of the family,
- if your pets becomes frightened of the training prodess, remove the receiver collar and resume training the
next day and alternate every other day after that.
Boundary Training Flags
Place boundary flags ten feet apart and at the point ere the warning beep
starts. The flags serve as a temporary visual bounds for your pet The flag;
wil later be removed when your pet has become familiar with the “safe zone".
Boundary Training
E Hold the receiver in one hand and, using a leash1 walk your pet to the boundary
Shake a boundary flag and give your pet a strong "N0" command. allowing it
to hear the beeping from the receiver.
L2” Lead him back in to the yard and praise and play with him.
E Repeat steps l and 2 around the entire boundary.
E After it short rest/play period, place the receiver collar along with the collar with leash on your pet
L; Let your pet experience a correction by walking into the signal field on his own. Then, immediately lead
him back into the "safe zone" area and praise him Shake the boundary flag again with a strong “NO"
command. Do not encourage the pet to cross the boundaries, as this will confuse him lfyour pet will not
venture into the signal field on its own. have someone else cross the boundary and allow the pet to follow,
E Repeat step 5 again around the perimeter boundaries. Your pet should receive a correction only when it
willingly attempts to cross the boundaries. Additional corrections are not necessary unless your pet willingly
attempts to approach the boundary.
E Remove the receiver collar. 00 NOT leave your pet Alone with the collar until fully trained.

Testing Co rrection
Buy a test light (A Radio Shack‘ ” (model It 272-1 rob) or call our Service Center to purchase one) and attach
to probes, Carry the receiver to the boundary wire when beep changes from high tone to low tone, the test
light should light. If not, see "Return Procedure".

w Reinforce training
d increase signal area.
If Check batteries. weak batteries can weaken correction
M Call 1-800-732-2677 and inquire about Stubborn bog Receiver.
How to locate a break in your wire
1. Connect both ends of your twisted boundaryf’wire to the first terminal on your transmitter.
2. Measure and out a new piece of boundary wire that is 1/2 the length of your boundary loop.
3. Connect the new wire to the second tenninall on the transmitter.
4. Locate the halfway point along your boundary loop.
5. Cut your boundary loop at the half-way point.
6. Connect the free end of your new piece of wire to either side of your boundary loop at the
half way point.
7. Turn the system on and check the range of this smaller loop with the receiver collar.
8. if there is no improvement in the performance of your system, you may assume that there is
a break in this portion of your boundary. Because there is a small chance you have more than
one break in your loop, you should also try the same procedure for the other side of your loop.
9. Once you determine a section of your boundary loop has a break in it, find the middle of
that section and cut the wire. Be sure to resplice the first cut that you made and make it
waterproof by caulking with silicone. .
IO. Connect the new wire to your boundary loop at the point at which you made the cut in
STEP 9.
11. Turn the system on and check the range of this smaller loop with the receiver collar.
12. Repeat STEPS 8 - ll until you find the damaged section of wire .
l3. Replace damaged wire with new wire. Remember that all wire in your boundary loop must
be the exact same size and type.
