Adjust the Pet Area to Desired Size
Make sure the entire Pet Area lies within your property boundaries (3A).
Always start determining the Boundary Zone at the shortest distance from
Transmitter. Place the Boundary Switch on “Low” if the Boundary Zone will
be less than 45 feet from the Transmitter.
Make sure the Receiver Collar battery is properly installed, the Static
Correction level is set at 2 or greater, and the Test Light Contacts are
touching the Contact Points (3B).
Note: If your next-door neighbor has an In-Ground containment system, see
Troubleshooting section page 19.
Test Light Instructions
1. Set the Correction Level to 2 or above.
2. Hold the Test Light Contacts to the Contact Points.
3. Walk toward the Boundary Zone holding the Receiver collar at your pet’s
neck level until the Test Light flashes.
Save Test Light for future testing.
Note: If the Test Light does not flash, install a new battery and re-test.
If Test Light still does not flash, contact the Customer Care Center at
1-800-732-2677.
To maximize your Pet Area, make sure the Boundary Switch is on “High” and
the Boundary Control Dial is set to “8”. Plug Power Adapter into Power Jack
and standard 120-volt outlet.
Two-Person Method
Hold the Receiver Collar at your pet’s neck height (3C) with logo side facing
away from the Transmitter and Contact Points facing upwards. Walk to the edge
of the desired Pet Area. Facing away from the Transmitter, hold the Receiver
Collar at the edge of the desired Pet Area (3D).
Starting with the Boundary Control Dial set to “8”, have a second person
turn the dial down SLOWLY. When the Receiver Collar starts to beep, tell the
person to stop turning the Boundary Control Dial. Record your settings below
for future reference.

One-Person Method
Measure the shortest distance from the desired Boundary
Zone to the Transmitter. Find the distance on the Transmitter
Range Chart on page 10 and set the Boundary Switch and
Boundary Control Dial. Hold the Test Light Contacts to the
Contact Points (3B). Take the Receiver Collar to the Boundary
Zone with the logo side facing away from the Transmitter and
Contact Points facing upwards (3C). Hold the Receiver Collar at
your pet’s neck level (3D) until the Receiver Collar beeps and
the Test Light flashes. If the Receiver Collar beeps before or
after the desired Boundary Zone, return to the Transmitter and
adjust the Boundary Control Dial. Repeat this process until
the Receiver Collar is beeping at the desired location. Record
your settings on page 10 for future reference.
