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
flashes (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 flashing 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 flash, indicating the
Static Correction as you enter the Static Correction Zone (6G). A warning tone and the flashing 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 satisfied 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 modified as shown in figure 3A. If you are satisfied 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 flash, see the "Troubleshooting" section.
Note: The Boundary Width is broken down into 20% Warning Zone and 80% Static Correction Zone.

Install the Boundary Wire
Step
7
Underground cables can carry high voltage. Have all underground cables marked before you dig to
bury your wire. In most areas, this is a free service.
Avoid damage to the insulation of the loop wire during the install. Damage may cause areas of weak
signal and lead to early failure of the loop (wire breaks).
Before you begin installing the Boundary Wire, turn the Fence Transmitter Off and unplug the adapter.
To Bury the Boundary Wire
Burying the Boundary Wire is recommended to protect it and prevent disabling the system.
1. Cut a trench 2.5 cm - 7.6 cm (1" - 3") deep along your planned boundary.
2. Place the Boundary Wire into the trench maintaining some slack to allow it to expand and contract with
temperature variations.
3. Use a blunt tool such as a wooden paint stick to push the Boundary Wire into the trench. Be careful not to
damage the Boundary Wire insulation.
To Attach the Boundary Wire to an Existing Fence
The Boundary Wire can be attached to a chain link fence, split rail fence, or a wooden privacy fence. The Boundary
Wire can be attached as high as needed. However, make sure the Boundary Width is set at a high enough range for the
pet to receive the signal. If using a Double Loop with an existing fence at least 1.5 m (5 ft) tall, run the Boundary Wire
on top of the fence and return it on the bottom of the fence to get the 1.5 m (5 ft) separation needed.
