Wiring Techniques • Try to keep the wire at about the same height above or below ground otherwise the Activation Distance will vary around the boundary. • The Activation Distance at corners can be greater than straight sections because the signal is detected from two directions at once and added together. - Page 9 Joining & Repairing Boundary Wire Wherever the Boundary Wires are joining, always use Sureguard heat shrink caps. Some are included in your kit and more can be ordered separately. DO NOT substitute: electrical tape, wire nuts, automotive connectors, solder splices or ordinary heat shrink.

Page 10: Mounting Location
Mounting Location The Energiser is solar powered so must have an uninterrupted view of the sky from east to west. The Energiser should face towards the equator; in Australia that means northward. In the northern hemisphere the equator is southward. The solar panel will charge quickly in full sunlight. - Page 11 Screw Mounting Insert a single M4 screw (4mm with head no more than 9mm) into timber, steel or plastic fencing or posts to hang the Energiser using the screw mounting option (see Point #3).

Correction Probes For your dog’s comfort, Sureguard Correction Probes come in three lengths and are made from low allergenic stainless steel. The probes sit next to your dog’s neck skin so it’s important to choose the right length according to the thickness of fur. Most dogs will use the short 10mm probes. -
Page 19: Collar Assembly
After a few days on your dog, check to ensure the fit and probe-length are comfortable. When you have the right collar position, we recommend you apply Sureguard Threadlocker to reduce the likelihood of the probes working loose. This is included in your Starter Kit. -

Never use cleaning solvents or chemicals. • The collar receiver is sealed for water tightness. DO NOT open it. Damage to the water seal may void your warranty. -
