•Chain Link Fence (7A): Weave Boundary Wire through the links or use plastic quick ties.

•Wooden Split Rail or Privacy Fence (7A): Use staples to attach Boundary Wire. Avoid puncturing the insulation of the Boundary Wire.

•Double Loop with an Existing Fence: Run Boundary Wire on top of the fence and return it on the bottom of the fence to get the three to five foot separation needed.

•Gate (Single Loop) (7B): Bury the Boundary Wire in the ground across the gate opening. Note: The signal is still active across the gate. Your dog cannot pass through an open gate.

•Gate (Double Loop) (7B): Bury both Boundary Wires across the gate opening while keeping them three to five feet apart.

WARNING Follow all safety instructions for your power tools. Be sure to always wear your safety goggles.

If the Collar Receiver does not beep at the desired range, adjust the Range Adjuster knob to the desired setting. Turning the Range Adjuster knob clockwise increases the Boundary Width while turning it counterclockwise decreases it. Repeat this activity as needed until the Collar Receiver beeps at the desired distance from the Boundary Wire.

The numbers on the Range Adjuster knob indicate signal strength and are not representative of Boundary Width footage. If adjusting the Range Adjuster knob does not give the desired range, adjust the Range Switch to the other setting to achieve your desired range. If using a Double Loop, you may need to increase the separation of the Boundary Wire to achieve the desired range.

The Collar Receiver beeps as a warning tone and ticks when delivering a Stimulation. After hearing the beep, continue to walk towards the wire. The Collar Receiver should tick and the Test Light should flash, indicating the Stimulation as you enter the Stimulation Zone (6E). A warning beep and the flashing of the Test Light indicate that the Collar Receiver and the system are working properly and that you are ready to start burying the Boundary Wire. If the Collar Receiver did not beep or the Test Light did not flash, refer to the “Troubleshooting” section on page 22.

Note: The Boundary Width is broken down into 20% Warning Zone and 80% Stimulation Zone.

	WARNING
::	• 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 these cables when you dig.
	• Before you begin installing the Boundary Wire, turn the Fence Transmitter OFF.
STEP
	To Bury the Boundary Wire
	Burying the Boundary Wire is recommended to protect it and prevent disabling the system.
	1. Cut a trench 1-3 inches 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, being careful not to damage the
	Boundary Wire.
	To Attach the Boundary Wire to an Existing Fence
	The Boundary Wire of the SportDOG Brand® In-Ground Fence System 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 dog to receive the signal. If using a Double Loop with an existing fence at least three feet
	tall, run the Boundary Wire on top of the fence and return it on the bottom of the fence to get the three to five foot separation
	needed.

To Cross Hard Surfaces (driveways, sidewalks, etc.)

• Concrete Driveway or Sidewalk (7C):
	7C
Place the Boundary Wire in a convenient
expansion joint or create a groove using
a circular saw and masonry blade. Place
the Boundary Wire in the groove and cover
with an appropriate patching compound.
For best results, brush away dirt or other
debris before patching.
• Gravel or Dirt Driveway (7D): Place the
Boundary Wire in a PVC pipe or water
hose to protect the Boundary Wire before
burying.
