Quick Start Guide
Step 1
Design your fence
Have the local utility companies mark your under-
ground lines. On a sheet of paper, draw your house
and yard. Draw a line around your property that
represents the containment area for your dog.
Step 2
Install the wall-mount transmitter
Most people find that the inside of an exterior wall of
a garage or basement is ideal. From the sample lay-
outs included, you can see the twisted wire running
from the house attaches directly to the transmitter.
Step 3
Layout the fence wire
Run the containment wire around the property as
outlined in your plan.
Step 4
Final connections
Splice the containment loop wires to the twisted
wire using the supplied waterproof splices.
Connect the other end of the twisted wire to the
wall-mount transmitter. Plug the AC adapter,
connect it to the transmitter and turn it on. The
red light should illuminate on the transmitter
indicating a successful loop.
Step 5
Power Up
Install batteries positive side out as shown.
