TROUBLESHOOTING
The receiver collar is not
beeping when setting up the
boundary zone.
The receiver collar is not
beeping or administering a
static correction.
• Yes. You may use any non-metallic collar. Make 2 holes in the collar to
attach the receiver. Use the collar in the kit as a template to locate the
holes on the new collar.
• Check your pet's neck daily for irritation from the contact points.
• Check the contact points on the receiver collar weekly to make sure they
are tight and clean.
• Check the fit of the receiver collar weekly.
• The receiver indicator light acts as a low battery indicator, flashing every 4
to 5 seconds when replacement is required.
• Take the receiver collar off your pet and walk into the boundary zone. The
receiver collar should tone. If not, replace the battery.
• Yes. Placing the fence transmitter inside a metal building can reduce the
maximum range of the Wireless System.
• Parking a vehicle within the pet area, can reduce the range of the system
and cause your pet to receive a static correction where it otherwise would
not if the vehicle was not there.
• Fixed large metal objects such as metal sheds can affect the signal by
reducing the maximum range of the system at the location of the object.
As a result, your pet may receive a static correction.
• This condition is due to the contact points irritating the skin. Discontinue
use of the receiver collar for a few days. If the condition persists beyond
48 hours, see your veterinarian. Once the skin returns to normal, replace
the receiver collar and monitor the skin condition closely.
• No. This can result in pulling the contact points too tightly against your
pet's neck. Attach a leash to a separate, non-metallic collar positioned
above the receiver collar.
• The tone-only mode can be used in training your pet to his boundary or
for well-trained pets that no longer require static correction.
• The tone may be difficult to hear in a noisy environment.
• Use test light as explained in the "Test Light Instructions" section, and use
it to determine the location of boundary zone.
• Check that the fence transmitter is set up according to directions
and install a new battery while standing within 5 to 10 ft. of
the fence transmitter.
• Check that the fence transmitter is plugged into a working outlet, turned
on, the power light is on, and the fence transmitter controls are set at your
desired settings.
• Check receiver battery to make sure it is installed properly.
• When replacing the battery, do so while standing within 5 to 10 ft. of the
fence transmitter.
