Setup Guide

1. Charging the Collar

Before initial use, fully charge the collar. Connect the magnetic charging cable to the collar's charging port and plug the USB end into a compatible power source (e.g., laptop, power bank, USB adapter, car charger). A full charge takes approximately 2 hours and provides up to 24 hours of working time.

2. Attaching the Contact Points

Select the appropriate metal prongs (short for short-haired dogs, long for long-haired dogs) and screw them firmly onto the collar. For added comfort and to protect your dog's skin, place the silicone sleeves over the metal prongs.

3. Fitting the Collar

Adjust the collar strap to ensure a snug but comfortable fit. You should be able to fit two fingers comfortably between the collar and your dog's neck. The collar is suitable for medium to large dogs weighing 15-120 lbs. If the strap is too long, you may trim the excess material and carefully use a lighter to melt the cut end to prevent fraying.

4. Setting the GPS Center Point and Boundary

Perform this step outdoors in an open area with a clear view of the sky to ensure optimal GPS signal reception. Power on the collar and wait for the GPS icon to stop flashing, indicating a stable satellite lock. Long press the center button to set the current location as the wireless fence center point. Use the plus (+) and minus (-) buttons to adjust the desired radius for your dog's containment area, ranging from 49 to 6561 feet.

Operating Instructions

1. Understanding Training Modes

The collar offers three distinct training modes to suit your dog's needs:

Beep Mode (Levels 1-5): Provides an audible warning when your dog approaches the boundary.
Vibration Mode (Levels 0-9): Delivers a gentle vibration as a warning.
Shock Mode (Levels 0-9): Provides a static correction if the dog crosses the boundary after the warning.

You can easily adjust the intensity levels for each mode using the collar's buttons. It is recommended to start with lower levels and gradually increase if necessary, always prioritizing your dog's safety and comfort.

2. Protection Mode

To prevent over-correction and ensure humane training, the collar features a Protection Mode. If the collar is triggered 9 times consecutively, it will enter Protection Mode for 30 seconds, temporarily stopping corrections. This safeguards your dog's health and prevents excessive stimulation.

3. Adjusting Boundary Range and Intensity

After setting the center point, you can adjust the boundary radius from 49 feet to 6561 feet using the plus (+) and minus (-) buttons. The collar has a memory function that retains your boundary settings even after power-off, so there's no need to reset it each time you use it in the same location.

When your dog is approximately 10 feet from the set boundary, the collar will emit beeps only (no vibration or shock) as a safe and humane warning. This allows your dog to learn the boundary before any correction is applied.

Battery Care: Handle the rechargeable battery with care. Do not expose it to extreme temperatures.
Contact Points: Regularly inspect your dog's neck and skin for any signs of irritation or discomfort from the contact points. If irritation occurs, discontinue use and consult a veterinarian.

Troubleshooting & Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What intensity levels should I set for Beep (B), Vibration (V), and Shock (S)?: A: We recommend starting with level 4 for Beep, level 3 for Vibration, and level 2 for Shock. Adjust these levels based on your dog's size, temperament, and behavior to ensure safe and effective training.
Q: What does the warning mode mean, and how does it function?: A: The warning zone is a 10 ft area inside the boundary. When your dog enters this zone, the wireless fence will emit beeps only (no vibration or shock), providing a safe and humane warning. For example, if the boundary is set to 49 ft, the collar will begin beeping at 39 ft to alert your dog.
Q: What does the protection mode mean, and how does it function?: A: When the collar is triggered 9 times consecutively, it will enter Protection Mode for 30 seconds. In this mode, the collar temporarily stops delivering corrections to prevent overstimulation and safeguard your dog's health.
Q: Can this be used inside the house?: A: No, this device is intended for outdoor use only. GPS signals indoors can be unreliable, which may trigger unintended beeps or vibrations. To prevent this, always turn off the device and remove the collar before bringing your dog inside.
Q: How do I check if the device is working properly?: A: Our GPS wireless dog fence begins tracking your dog once the signal reaches level 3. When the device is operating correctly, the indicator light will blink every 5 seconds to confirm normal function.
Q: What is the recommended method for wearing the collar?: A: After fitting the collar, make sure you can comfortably fit two fingers between the strap and your dog's neck. This ensures a secure yet comfortable fit—neither too tight nor too loose.
Q: How long is it safe for my dog to use the product continuously?: A: To ensure your dog's comfort and well-being, we advise limiting daily use of the wireless fence collar to 12 hours. It is also important to regularly inspect your dog's neck and skin for any signs of irritation or discomfort.
