Page 5: How It Works
HOW IT WORKS The Sunbeam® Essential In-Ground Fencing System is a training aid that helps train your dog to stay within a defined boundary. The System uses a wire to create a Boundary Zone where your dog will receive a Warning Tone and a Static Correction. Flags are arranged along the Boundary Zone to give your dog a visual aid. The area encompassed by the Boundary Flags is the Safe Zone. The Safe Zone is the area where your dog can roam without receiving a Warning Tone or Static Correction from the Receiver Collar. The Boundary Flags can be removed at the end of the training process. The Sunbeam® Essential In-Ground Fencing System uses the buried wire to broadcast a radio signal. The buried wire acts as an antenna converting the signal into electromagnetic waves. The Base Transmitter controls the range of the signal around the wire. Inside the Sunbeam® Essential Receiver Collar is a small radio receiver. When the dog moves close to the Boundary Zone, the Receiver Collar will release a Warning Tone so your dog knows it is nearing the Boundary Zone. If your dog moves into the Boundary Zone, it will receive a Static Correction. To achieve the best results with the Sunbeam® Essential In-Ground Fencing System, it is important that you complete the training that is included in your Sunbeam® Essential In-Ground Fencing System. You can also obtain this Training Manual at www.sunbeampets.com. The System is not a solid fence and will not contain your pets as well as a solid fence. Do not allow your dog to run free until the training process is complete. Keep your dog on a leash, tied down, or confined to a separate area until training is complete. Proper training is necessary to achieve the best results. -

Page 8: Collar Fitting
COLLAR FITTING Proper fit of the Sunbeam® Receiver Collar is essential to establish a good training foundation and optimal performance. NOTE: Batteries should be installed properly and the Receiver Collar should be in the OFF position before proceeding with fitting the collar to your dog. STEP 1: Ensure dog is in a relaxed position. STEP 2: With the collar clasp open loosen the adjustment buckle figure 7 such that it can reach completely around your dog’s neck. (fig. 7) When buckled, the collar should rest directly behind the dog’s ears (the highest part of the neck). (fig. 8) NOTE: Make sure both stainless steel probes go through the coat completely and make contact with the skin. -
Page 9: Ready To Use
STEP 6: Remove collar from dog and cut the excess collar material, leaving approximately 1 inch. STEP 7: Seal the edge of the collar using a flame. STEP 8: Reattach collar to your dog. Check the fit of the collar severaltimes per day. Wipe the stainless steel probes weekly with a damp cloth while collar is in OFF position. REMINDER: If you choose to use a 2nd collar, leash or harness figure 11 system, make sure it does not interfere with the operation of the Sunbeam® Receiver Collar. READY TO USE NOTE: The BATTERY INSTALLATION and COLLAR FITTING steps must be completed before you are ready to use. STEP 1: Holding the main body of the Sunbeam® Receiver Collar in both hands PRESS and HOLD the Control Button for 4 seconds. NOTE: You will hear one long beep followed by a sequence of short beeps and flashing green LED indicating which correction level is in use. The Receiver Collar will recall the last setting or the default setting (level 1 or low). STEP 2: Set correction level by pressing and holding (approximately 2 seconds) the Control Button. Once the collar is ON press the Control Button once to toggle to the next correction level. You will need to test your dog to see which correction level is appropriate for your dog’s temperament. Always begin training with the Receiver Collar on level 1. If your dog does not respond to the Static Correction on level 1 change the setting to level 2. If there is no response from your dog at level 2 change the setting to level 3. The table on page 3 describes the correction level settings. STEP 3: Attach collar to your dog as you did in the COLLAR FITTING stage. IMPORTANT: Complete the training that is included with the instructions for your Sunbeam® Essential In-Ground Fencing System.
