2. Setup Instructions

2.1 Charging the Device

Before initial use, fully charge the collar receiver. The device uses a sustainably rechargeable 12V battery (included). A full charge ensures up to 48 hours of continuous operation.

2.2 Fitting the Collar

Ensure the collar is properly fitted to your dog. The E-FENCE collar is adjustable and suitable for most dogs weighing between 15 lbs and 120 lbs, with a neck size range of 12 to 28 inches. The collar strap can be trimmed if necessary for a custom fit. The contact points on the collar should touch your dog's skin for effective operation.

2.3 Defining the Boundary

The system operates by establishing a central point and a circular boundary around it. Follow these steps to set up your containment area:

1. Determine Center Point: Place the collar receiver at the desired center of your containment area.
2. Activate GPS: Turn on the device and allow it to acquire a stable GPS signal.
3. Set Boundary Radius: Adjust the boundary radius from 65 feet (20 meters) up to 3280 feet (1000 meters). The adjustment increment is 10 feet (3 meters) per step.
4. Utilize 'REMEMBER' Function: For quick setup in previously used locations, activate the 'REMEMBER' function to recall the last set center point.

4. Maintenance

4.1 Cleaning

Regularly clean the collar and receiver unit with a damp cloth. Ensure the contact points are free of dirt or debris to maintain proper function. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.

4.2 Battery Care

To maximize battery life, charge the device regularly, especially after extended periods of use. Avoid completely draining the battery frequently. Store the device in a cool, dry place when not in use.

4.3 Inspection

Periodically inspect the collar strap and receiver for any signs of wear or damage. Ensure the USB charging port cover is intact and properly sealed to maintain the IP7 waterproof rating.

5. Troubleshooting

• Device Not Powering On: Ensure the battery is fully charged. Connect the device to the charger and attempt to power it on after a few minutes.
• Inconsistent Boundary Warnings: Verify that the device has a clear line of sight to GPS satellites. Obstructions like dense tree cover or tall buildings can interfere with GPS signal accuracy. Re-establish the center point if necessary.
• No Response at Boundary: Check the selected warning mode settings (Beep, Vibration, Electric Shock) and their intensity levels. Ensure the collar is fitted correctly with contact points touching the dog's skin.
• Short Battery Life: Ensure the device is fully charged before each use. Battery performance can be affected by extreme temperatures.
• Water Intrusion: Always ensure the USB charging port cover is securely closed before exposing the device to water to maintain its IP7 waterproof rating.
