Operating Guide

Step 1: Have Your Utilities Marked

1. Call your utility company to have your
utility lines marked. If you have neighbours
using an in-ground pet containment
system, you will want to ask them where the
boundary is located. Trust us, you really do
not want to skip this step.
2. Make a plan for how you will work around
any large metal objects (like sheds) or
wires. You can cross utility lines but only at
90-degree angles (1A).
Note: Large metal objects and wires can amplify and/or modulate radio signals in unpredictable ways.

Step 2: Install the Fence Transmitter

Find a place to install the fence transmitter. There are a few things to consider when choosing an outlet for
your transmitter:
• We recommend using an outlet at least 10 m from the breaker box.
• The transmitter should be indoors, in a dry, ventilated and protected area (2A, 2B).
• You will need to run wire from the transmitter to the boundary wire, so it must be near window or a wall
that you can drill through (2A).
• The temperatures of the location should not fall below -23°C.
• The transmitter should be at least 1 m from large metal objects or appliances (2C). These items may
interfere with the signal consistency.
• The transmitter should be secured to a stationary surface using appropriate mounting hardware (not
included). A mounting template is included in the back of this manual.

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.
