5.3. Collar Pairing
- Ensure the collar is charged and powered on.
- Open the Pawfence app and navigate to the 'Devices' section.
- Follow the app's instructions to search for and pair your Aweec GPS collar.
- The app will confirm successful pairing.
5.4. Collar Adjustment
- Place the collar around your dog's neck.
- Adjust the strap to ensure a snug fit. The contact points should touch the dog's skin.
- Verify that you can comfortably fit two fingers between the collar and your dog's neck.
- For dogs with thick fur, trim the fur around the contact points to ensure proper contact.
5.5. Setting Up the Virtual Fence
The system allows for the creation of circular or polygonal virtual fences.

- Open the Pawfence app and select the 'Fence Setting' option.
- Choose between 'Circular' or 'Polygon' boundary types.
- For Circular Fence: Set a central point on the map and adjust the radius from 65 feet to 3280 feet.
- For Polygonal Fence: Draw the desired shape on the map by placing multiple points (up to hexagonal).
- Confirm the boundary settings within the app. The collar will now recognize this virtual fence.
6. Operating the System
6.1. Fence Monitoring and Alerts
When your dog approaches the set boundary line, the collar will automatically emit an audio alarm as a gentle reminder. If the dog continues to cross the boundary, other correction modes (vibration or static shock) will activate based on your settings.
6.2. Training Modes
The system offers four distinct training modes to assist in behavior correction:

- Light: Visual cue.
- Beep: Audible warning.
- Vibration: Tactile feedback.
- Electric Shock: Static correction.
6.3. Adjusting Alarm Intensity
Both vibration and electric shock intensities can be independently adjusted from 0-5 levels within the Pawfence app. Select the appropriate level based on your dog's size, personality, and adaptability.
6.4. Power Saving Mode
The device features an intelligent power-saving mode. If your dog remains stationary for 2 minutes, the collar automatically enters sleep mode to conserve energy. It will instantly wake up upon detecting movement.
7. Maintenance
7.1. Cleaning the Collar
Regularly clean the collar and contact points with a damp cloth. Ensure the collar is completely dry before charging or placing it back on your dog.
7.2. Battery Care
To maximize battery life, fully charge the collar before initial use. Avoid completely draining the battery frequently. The collar provides up to 48 hours of continuous use on a single charge.
7.3. Waterproofing

The Aweec GPS collar has an IP7 waterproof rating, meaning it can withstand immersion in water up to 1 meter for 30 minutes. It is suitable for use in rain, during swimming, or on muddy ground. However, ensure the charging port is dry before connecting the charger.
8. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your Aweec GPS Electric Dog Fence System, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Collar not responding or inconsistent behavior | Poor GPS signal; collar not properly paired; low battery; incorrect app settings. | Ensure the collar has a clear view of the sky for GPS reception. Re-pair the collar with the app. Check battery level and recharge if necessary. Verify fence and training settings in the app. |
| Short battery life | Frequent use of high-intensity correction modes; continuous GPS tracking in areas with weak signal; aging battery. | Reduce intensity levels for correction modes. Ensure the collar is used in areas with good GPS coverage. Fully charge the collar before each use. If battery life significantly degrades, contact support. |
| Collar not charging | Faulty charging cable or adapter; dirty charging port; completely drained battery. | Try a different USB power adapter or charging cable. Clean the magnetic charging port on the collar. Allow the collar to charge for an extended period (e.g., 4-6 hours) if the battery was completely depleted. |
| GPS signal inaccuracy | Obstructions (buildings, dense trees); poor satellite reception; initial calibration. | Ensure the dog is in an open area with minimal overhead obstructions. Allow the collar a few minutes to acquire a stable GPS signal after powering on. Recalibrate the fence boundaries in the app if necessary. |
