Once you have mounted the fence transmitter, the boundary wire must exit the building. This can be
accomplished via a window or through a hole drilled through the wall (2D). Ensure the drill path is clear of
any utilities. Make sure the boundary wire is not cut off or pinched by a window, door, or garage door, as
this can damage it over time.
To prevent fires and electrical hazards, install the fence transmitter in buildings that are in accordance with
state and local electrical codes.
2D
To protect the transmitter, disconnect the boundary wire and unplug the power adaptor
from the outlet when the system will not be used for long periods of time or prior to
thunderstorms. This will prevent power surges from damaging the transmitter.

• Do not install, connect or remove your system during a lightning storm. If the
storm is close enough for you to hear thunder, it is close enough to create
hazardous surges.
• To avoid electric shock, use the fence transmitter indoors in a dry location only.
If possible, DO NOT use an outlet protected with a residual current device (RCD) or
a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI). The fence system will function, but in rare
cases, nearby lightning strikes may cause the RCD or GFCI to trip. Without power,
your pet may be vulnerable to escape. You will have to reset the RCD or GFCI to
restore power to the system.
