Additional Information

• The Boundary Wire is buried so that it is not accidentally tripped over or cut. Use care when using a
weed eater or when digging near the Boundary Wire to prevent damage.
• The system should only be used with healthy pets. Contact your veterinarian if you have concerns
about the medical condition of your pet (medication, pregnant, heart conditions, etc.).
• This system is not for vicious or aggressive pets. If your pet may pose a threat to others,
USE THIS SYSTEM. If you are unsure if your dog is aggressive, please consult your veterinarian or
a certifi ed trainer.

• The Static Correction will get your pet's attention, but will not cause harm. It is designed to startle,
not to punish.
• Test the Receiver Collar at least once a month to verify that it is functioning properly. Check that it
activates at the Boundary Wire. The typical battery life is 3 to 6 months. Battery life depends upon
how often the Receiver Collar is activated.
• Remove the Receiver Collar from your pet when indoors for the comfort of your pet.
• Never leave the Receiver Collar on your pet for more than 12 consecutive hours.

Short Loop Test

The Short Loop Test is a simple test to determine if each component (Fence Transmitter, Receiver
Collar and Boundary Wire) is functioning properly.
1. Disconnect the Boundary Wire.
2. Cut approximately 10 feet of unused Boundary Wire and connect it to the Boundary Wire Terminals.
3. Spread the Boundary Wire out into a circle.
4. Set the Boundary Width Control knob to 10.
5. If the Loop Indicator Light is not lit, then your Fence Transmitter is not functioning properly.
Contact the Customer Care Center.
6. If the Loop Indicator Light is lit, disconnect one end of the Boundary Wire from the Boundary
Wire Terminal.
7. If the Loop Indicator Light does not go out, the Fence Transmitter needs to be replaced. Contact
the Customer Care Center.
8. If the Loop Indicator Light goes out, plug the Boundary Wire back into the Boundary Wire Terminal.
9. Hold the Test Light Contacts to the Receiver Contact Points. Hold the Receiver Collar next to
the 10-foot length of Boundary Wire. The Receiver Collar should beep about one foot away from
the Boundary Wire. The Test Light should then fl ash as you hold the Receiver Collar closer to the
Boundary Wire.

• Make sure Fence Transmitter is at least 3 feet from large metal
objects or appliances.
• Make sure all Boundary Wire turns are gradual.
• Make sure the Boundary Wire is not running parallel to and within
10 feet of electrical wires, neighboring containment systems,
telephone wires, television or antenna cables, or satellite dishes.
• If a neighboring containment system may be causing an
inconsistent signal, contact the Customer Care Center to see if a
different frequency system will help your situation.
• Check that the Power Adapter is plugged into the Fence Transmitter.
• Try plugging into another 120-volt outlet.
• If the lights still do not come on, the Fence Transmitter and/or Power
Adapter needs to be replaced. Contact the Customer Care Center.
• Make sure both ends of the Boundary Wire are plugged into
Boundary Wire Terminals and that
stripped so that the copper wire is exposed.
• Perform the "Short Loop Test" (page 18) to determine if the Fence
Transmitter needs to be replaced or if the Boundary Wire is broken.
• If the Fence Transmitter is functioning properly, you have a
break in your Boundary Wire. See the "Locating a Break in the
Wire" section in this guide.
