• The collar should not be on your dog when the system is tested.
Set the Boundary Zone Using the Collar
1. Turn on the fence transmitter.
2. Using the (+) and (–) buttons, set the boundary width to a range between 8 and 10, with 10 being the maximum setting (8A).
3. The collar should be set to the maximum level of 6.
4. Select a section of straight boundary wire that is at least 15 m long. Start inside the boundary.
5. Place the test light tool contacts against the collar contact points (8B). Hold the collar at your dog's neck height with the contact
points at approximately a 45º angle with the logo facing the boundary wire (8C). Be sure the collar is tilted as it would sit on the
dog's neck. Slowly walk toward the boundary wire until you hear the warning tone (8C). When you hear the warning tone and feel the
vibration, you have reached the edge of the warning zone, which can be adjusted at the transmitter. The collar's flashing light can help
you locate the edge of the boundary if you have difficulty hearing the tone.
6. Once you hear the tone or see the collar's light flashing, walk back into the pet area until the tone stops. If the collar does not tone at the
desired range, adjust the boundary (+) and (–) buttons to obtain the desired range. The collar should tone between 2 m to 3 m from the
boundary wire. If using a double loop layout, you may need to increase the separation of the boundary wire and/or increase the size of
the boundary width to achieve the desired range. The wider the boundary, the less yard space your dog will have; however, it is also less
likely that your dog will run through it.
7. Test the boundary width in a number of different locations around the pet area.
8. Next, walk all around inside the pet area (8D) to ensure there are no areas where the collar may activate from signals coupled onto buried
wires or cables. Test the collar in and around the inside of the house as well. Ensure that the sections of twisted wire where your dog should
be free to pass do not activate the collar. If so, you either have too few twists, or the splice did not have a quality connection. 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.
9. If you are satisfied that your system is functioning properly, you are ready to start burying the boundary wire.
