Setup
- Attach Contact Points and Silicone Caps: Screw the appropriate length metal contact points onto the collar. For comfort and to prevent irritation, place the conductive silicone caps over the metal points. Choose long contact points for dogs with thick fur and short ones for dogs with short fur.
- Charge the Device: Connect the magnetic charging cable to the collar's charging port and plug the USB end into a power adapter (not included). Charge for approximately 2 hours until fully charged. The battery indicator on the display will show charging status.
- Collar Fitting: Ensure the collar fits snugly but comfortably around your dog's neck. The contact points must touch the dog's skin to function correctly. You should be able to fit two fingers between the collar and your dog's neck.

Warning Modes
The iMounTEK GPS Dog Fence offers three distinct warning modes to effectively train your dog to stay within the designated boundary:
- Beep Mode: Emits an audible tone when your dog approaches the boundary. This is typically the first warning.
- Vibration Mode: Provides a gentle vibration when the dog continues towards or crosses the boundary. This mode has 0-9 adjustable intensity levels.
- Electric Shock Mode: Delivers a static correction when the dog persists in crossing the boundary. This mode also has 0-9 adjustable intensity levels.
For your dog's safety, the stimulus cycle (vibration or shock) will automatically stop after 3 cycles, even if your dog remains outside the safe area. This prevents over-correction and ensures humane training.

Maintenance
- Cleaning: Regularly clean the collar and contact points with a damp cloth. Ensure the contact points are free of dirt or debris to maintain proper conductivity. Do not use harsh chemicals.
- Battery Care: Recharge the collar when the battery indicator shows low power. Avoid completely draining the battery for prolonged periods to extend its lifespan. Store in a cool, dry place when not in use.
- Collar Inspection: Periodically check the collar for any signs of wear or damage. Ensure the strap is secure and the buckle functions correctly.
- Skin Health: Regularly check your dog's neck area where the contact points rest for any signs of irritation, redness, or sores. If irritation occurs, discontinue use and consult a veterinarian. Do not leave the collar on your dog for more than 8 hours per day.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Collar not turning on. | Low battery; Incorrect power button press. | Charge the collar fully. Ensure you long press the power button. |
| Poor GPS signal or inaccurate boundary. | Used indoors; Obstructions (tall buildings, dense trees); Poor satellite reception. | Use the system in an open outdoor area with clear sky view. Avoid areas with high-rise buildings or heavy tree cover. Wait for the collar to acquire sufficient satellite signals. |
| Collar not delivering correction. | Contact points not touching skin; Low battery; Mode/level set to 0; Screen locked. | Ensure collar is snug and contact points touch skin. Recharge battery. Check that the warning mode is active and level is above 0. Unlock the screen by pressing '+' and '-' simultaneously. Use the test bulb to verify function. |
| Dog not responding to corrections. | Level too low; Dog's temperament; Improper training. | Increase the intensity level gradually. Ensure consistent training. Consult a professional dog trainer if issues persist. |
| Battery drains quickly. | Frequent use; Old battery; Extreme temperatures. | Ensure full charge before use. Avoid leaving in extreme heat/cold. If battery life significantly degrades, contact customer support. |
