The DogWatch® MB-1 is a battery operated indoor/outdoor mobile boundary
hidden fence transmitter designed to create small pet-free areas.
The MB-1 can be used to train your pet to stay away from specific objects or areas indoors or
outdoors, such as the sofa, bed, kitchen table or counter, the trash or cat's litter box, garden,
pool or children's play area, for example.
How the System Works
The MB-1 transmits a silent radio signal that is recognized by a special receiver collar worn by your
pet. The signal can be adjusted from 4 feet to 8 feet in diameter to create a pet-free 'avoidance area'.
The outer edge of the boundary area is a warning zone. As your pet approaches the warning
zone, the receiver collar starts 'beeping' to alert your pet that he is too close to the boundary area.
With training (page 3), your pet learns that if he goes beyond the warning zone, the beep is quickly
followed by a 'correction' (an unpleasant, but safe, sensation from the receiver collar). Your pet will
learn to stay away from areas he associates with the warning beep.
Setting the Boundary Area
Set the signal rate and the range
(see pages 2 & 3) then place the
MB-1 transmitter in the center of
the pet-free area. For example,
on a counter, in the garden, near
a doorway or under a piece of
furniture.
Test the signal field and place
the training flags before putting
the collar on your dog.
To locate the signal field, place
the test light on the contact posts
and move toward the transmitter
until you hear the warning beeps.
Avoid touching the contact posts.
The signal radiates in all directions around the transmitter (as if it were in the
center of a large ball).
• The maximum "horizontal" (sideways) signal is 4 feet from the center
of the transmitter (8 feet maximum diameter).
• The maximum "vertical" signal above (and under) the transmitter is 5 feet
from the top of the transmitter.
NOTE: Do not position the transmitter on or near large metal objects.

Summary of Contents for DogWatch MB-1
- Page 1 The MB-1 can be used to train your pet to stay away from specific objects or areas indoors or outdoors, such as the sofa, bed, kitchen table or counter, the trash or cat’s litter box, garden, pool or children’s play area, for example.
- Page 2 Features and Functions The MB-1 may be used indoors or outdoors. The MB-1 is water resistant but Status Light is not intended to be submerged in water/liquid. When used outdoors: • The flap covering the charging port and the cover over the control panel on the bottom must both be tightly closed.
- Page 3 Rate Setting - The Rate Setting determines how frequently the signal is transmitted. The rate you select depends on your objective: Fast - The ‘Fast’ setting transmits the signal in very rapid pulses to create the most secure boundary. ‘Fast’ is recommended during the training phase and also when a secure boundary is very important, such as when you need to keep your pet from running through a doorway.
- Page 4 Take the receiver collar off the dog and place the test light on the contact posts while holding the receiver next to your MB-1 transmitter. If your test light lights up, your receiver is working properly. Be sure you are not touching the contact posts.
