Use the Boundary Width Control knob to set the width of the Warning Zone and Static Correction Zone (6B). Set the Boundary Width as wide as possible to give your pet the widest Warning and Static Correction Zones without reducing the Pet Area too much.

To identify the Warning and Static Correction

 

 

 

Zones, make sure the Receiver Collar battery is

 

 

 

properly installed and the Test Light Contacts

 

 

 

are touching the Contact Points (6C, 6D).

 

 

 

Walk toward the Boundary Wire with Contact

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.

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 and that 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 BoundaryWidth is broken down into 20%Warning Zone and 80% Static Correction Zone. (For example, a 10 foot BoundaryWidth would consist of approximately 2 feetWarning Zone and 8 feet Static Correction Zone)
