4. Place battery in Receiver Collar and turn ON. The Receiver Collar
will cycle through the Static Stimulation and Battery Status feature as
described in Step 5. To identify the Warning and Static Stimulation
Zones make sure the Receiver Collar is set at level 5 (see Step 5).
5. Test the Boundary Width of the system by selecting a section of
straight Boundary Wire that is at least 15 metres (50 feet) long. Start
inside the centre of the containment field.
6. Place the Test Light Tool Contacts on the Contact Points on the
Receiver Collar (6B,6C). Hold the Receiver Collar at your dog's neck
height with the Contact Points pointing up (6D) and the Stimulation
Level Button facing the Boundary Wire. Slowly walk toward the
Boundary Wire until you hear the warning tone (6E). When you hear
the warning tone, you have identified the Boundary Width distance
(Static Stimulation Zone).
Two seconds after the warning tone, the test light will begin to flash.
This flashing light can aid you in identifying the Boundary Width
should you have difficulty hearing the tone. To avoid having the
Receiver Collar go into Over Stimulation Protection mode, walk back
into the Pet Area until the beeping stops.
If the Receiver Collar does not beep at the desired range, adjust the
Boundary Width Control knob to obtain the desired range. Turning
the Boundary Width Control knob clockwise increases the Boundary
Width while turning it counterclockwise decreases it (6F). Repeat this
activity as needed until the Receiver Collar beeps between 1.8 m to
3 m (6 ft to 10 ft) from the Boundary Wire. If using a Double Loop
layout, you may need to increase the separation of the Boundary
Wire and/or increase the size of the Boundary Width to achieve the
desired range.
7. Test in a number of different locations around the containment area
until you are satisfied that the system is functioning properly.
8. Next, walk all around the Pet Area to ensure there are no areas
where the Receiver Collar may activate from signals coupled onto buried wires or cables. Test the collar in and around the
inside of the house as well. As mentioned, cable and wires from cable TV, electrical or telephone lines may conduct pet
fencing signals inside and outside the house that can activate the dog's collar accidentally. While rare, if this occurs your
Boundary Wire is probably too close to these outside lines and should be moved or modified as shown in Figure 3A.
9. To test the run-through prevention feature, walk towards the Boundary Wire. The Receiver Collar should tone and the Test Light
should flash brighter as you enter the run-through area (6G).
If you are satisfied that your system is functioning properly, 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.

The receiver collar should not be on your dog when the system is tested. Your pet may
receive an unintended stimulation.
