3. Setup Instructions

3.1 Charging the Devices

Before initial use, fully charge both the remote transmitter and the collar receiver. Use the provided USB charging cable. A full charge typically takes about 2 hours.

• Connect the charging cable to the charging port on each device.
• Plug the other end into a standard USB power adapter (not included) or a computer USB port.
• The indicator light will show charging status and turn solid when fully charged.

3.2 Fitting the Collar Receiver

Proper collar fit is crucial for effective operation and your dog's comfort.

• Select the appropriate contact points (short for thin-haired dogs, long for thick-haired dogs) and attach them to the collar receiver. Optionally, place silicone covers over the contact points for added comfort.
• Place the collar receiver on your dog's neck, ensuring the contact points touch the skin.
• Adjust the strap so it is snug but not too tight. You should be able to fit two fingers comfortably between the strap and your dog's neck.
• The collar is adjustable up to 23.6 inches and suitable for dogs weighing 8-110 lbs. Excess strap can be trimmed if necessary.

3.3 Setting Up the Wireless Fence Boundary

The wireless fence creates a circular boundary around the remote transmitter.

• Place the remote transmitter in a central location within the desired containment area. Ensure it is not obstructed by large metal objects or dense foliage, which can interfere with the signal.
• Turn on the remote transmitter and the collar receiver.
• Use the remote to set the desired boundary distance. The system offers 10 adjustable levels, ranging from 30 to 1300 feet.
• Walk the perimeter of the set boundary with your dog (on a leash) to familiarize them with the warning zone. The collar will emit a beep and vibration when your dog approaches the boundary.

4. Operating Instructions

4.1 Wireless Fence Operation

When your dog approaches the set boundary, the collar receiver will activate a series of warnings:

• Warning Zone: As your dog nears the boundary, the collar will emit an audible beep.
• Correction Zone: If your dog continues past the warning zone, the collar will activate a vibration to encourage them to return to the safe area.
• The system is designed to provide consistent feedback to help your dog understand and respect the established perimeter.

4.2 Dog Training Modes

The remote transmitter offers three distinct training modes to address various behavioral needs:

• Beep Mode: Delivers an audible tone.
• Vibration Mode: Delivers a tactile vibration.
• Static Correction Mode: Delivers a static pulse.

Each mode has adjustable intensity levels (0-9 levels for vibration and static correction). It is recommended to start with the lowest effective level and gradually increase if needed, observing your dog's response.

4.3 Remote Transmitter Functions

• Keypad Lock: Activate the keypad lock feature to prevent accidental button presses, ensuring consistent training and safety.
• Flashlight LED: The remote includes a dual-function flashlight. Press once for a steady white beam, and press twice for a flashing strobe mode, useful for locating your dog in low light conditions.

5. Maintenance

5.1 Cleaning the Collar

Regularly clean the collar strap and receiver with a damp cloth. Ensure the contact points are free of dirt or debris to maintain proper function. The collar receiver is IPX7 waterproof, allowing it to withstand rain, splashes, and temporary submersion. The remote transmitter is not waterproof.

5.2 Battery Care

To prolong battery life, avoid fully discharging the devices frequently. Recharge them when the battery indicator is low. Store devices in a cool, dry place when not in use for extended periods.

5.3 Contact Point Inspection

Periodically check the contact points for wear or damage. Ensure they are securely attached to the receiver. If using silicone covers, ensure they are intact and properly seated.

6. Troubleshooting

• Collar not responding to remote: Ensure both devices are charged and powered on. Check if they are properly paired. Move closer to the collar to rule out range issues.
• Fence system not working or inconsistent: Verify the remote transmitter is placed in an open area, free from large metal objects or dense structures that could block the signal. Adjust the boundary level. Ensure the collar is fitted correctly with contact points touching the dog's skin.
• No static correction in fence mode: The wireless fence system primarily uses beep and vibration warnings to define boundaries. Static correction is typically available as a separate training mode via the remote, not automatically triggered by the fence boundary.
• Short battery life: Ensure devices are fully charged. Extreme temperatures can affect battery performance. If battery life significantly degrades, contact customer support.
• Dog not responding to corrections: Re-evaluate the collar fit and ensure contact points are making proper contact. Increase the intensity level of vibration or static correction gradually, observing your dog's reaction. Ensure training is consistent.
