IMPORTANT NOTE: Do NOT place the collar receiver on your dog until the containment
system has been tested and the signal field adjusted.
STEP 10.
TEST THE CONTAINMENT SYSTEM
DO NOT TEST THE CONTAINMENT SYSTEM WITH THE COLLAR RECEIVER ON THE DOG. You must
manually test the containment system to verify that the signal is properly transmitted through the
wire. Use the supplied test light.
NOTE FOR RECHARGEABLE SYSTEMS: The containment system will not function while the collar
receiver is charging on the transmitter.
To test the system:
1. Turn the field width knob so the arrow is pointed halfway between the "off" and "high" positions.
2. Position the test light on the probes so that the tips of the
probes make contact with the wires inside the two openings
(see diagram). Gentle pressure may be needed.
3. Hold the receiver box without touching the probes.
4. Hold it at the height of the dog's neck with the probes pointed upward.
5. Slowly walk the collar receiver toward the wire. Listen for the warning tone
and watch for the test lamp to light. The light will be dim for mild stimulation
and
bright for the intense stimulation.
STEP 11.
ADJUST THE SIGNAL FIELD WIDTH
The signal field is the distance from the wire to the place where the collar
receiver first activates. The Field Width Knob adjusts the size of the signal field,
not the correction intensity. Turning the knob clockwise increases the signal
field
width; turning it counterclockwise decreases it. Turning the knob completely
counterclockwise switches off the transmitter power.
Follow the instructions in Step 10 to test the signal field width. Walk the entire perimeter to be sure
that the signal field is consistent throughout your containment area. The signal field should extend a
minimum of 2 meters on either side of the wire (creating a 4 meter wide field). A 3 to 4 meter wide
field is preferred. The wider the signal field width, the less chance that a dog can run through the field.
• If your yard size setting jumper is set for a small yard and you cannot turn the signal field width
any wider, move the jumper to the large yard size setting. See Step 5, Determine Yard Size Setting
for instructions. Retest the signal field width.
• If your yard size setting jumper is set for a large yard and you cannot turn the signal field down
any farther, move the jumper to the small yard size setting. See Step 5, Determine Yard Size Setting
for instructions. Retest the signal field width.
The transmitter light indicates continuity only. If you have a loose splice or nicked wire, the red light or
