Prepare the Locator

• Place 2 AAA Alkaline batteries (not included)
inside the bottom of locator (3A).
• Rechargeable batteries are not
recommended.
• Battery life for the locator is approximately
20 hours.
• A 2-toned alarm on the locator will indicate
when the batteries need to be replaced.

Using the Locator

Power/Volume
Rotate the dial on the side of the locator to turn
it on. The lights will flash. To adjust the volume,
rotate the dial up or down (4A).
Light Indicator
The red and green lights on the locator are
included to visually assist you with determining
which tone you are hearing if it is difficult to
hear the tones. The green light indicates the
continuous tone and the red light indicates the
intermittent tone (4A).
Individual Tones
Note: Visit www.petsafe.com to view the Wire
Break Locator video. You will see a product
demonstration and hear the 2 different tones.
To become familiar with the individual
tones, place the locator over one of the
single ground wires that is connected to the
transmitter and then move the locator over
the other ground wire. Each wire will emit a
unique tone. Be sure the 2 ground wires are
separated by several feet/metres to prevent
both tones from being activated together.
Combined Tones
To become familiar with the combined tones,
place the locator over the twisted wire that is
connected to the transmitter to hear both the
low frequency continuous tone and the higher
frequency intermittent tone together.
Operation
The locator must be parallel to the buried
boundary wire for proper signal reception
(4B). The tone from the locator will be heard
best when it is directly above the buried wire.
Swing the locator from side to side (4C) as you
move along the wire. Follow the path of the
wire by walking in the direction of the loudest
tone volume.
