3.
Press Collar that you wish to adjust (see Screen 7.8).
4.

Testing the Trigger Zone :
HEART-SHAPED COLLAR TESTER NOTE : If you would like to confirm
®
that the Havahart
Wireless Collar will deliver a static correction
when crossing the Trigger Zone, you can use the Heart-Shaped
Collar Tester. Set the correction level to static level 1. Hold the metal
contact points located inside the holes of the Heart-Shaped Collar
®
Tester against the Probes of the Havahart
Wireless Collar so that
®
metal is touching metal. Carry the Havahart
Wireless Collar by the
Grey Battery Housing of the Collar with the Heart-Shaped Collar
Tester held against the Probes. Make sure that your body does not
get between the Collar and the Bases as your body may affect the
signal and cause the boundary to shift. Walk to a boundary point
and watch the Heart-Shaped Collar Tester illuminate. Remember to
set the correction level back to Tone Only before beginning training.
To confirm that the location of the actual boundary is correct ,
test your Trigger Zone in 2 ways - It is necessary to perform both
steps for complete verification.
•
In both cases, make sure the Collar is set to Tone Only. Extend your
arm down by your side and hold the Collar by the Grey Battery Housing
so that you can see the Collar Light (see Figure 6.0). Make sure to
keep the Collar between your body and the Bases as your body
may affect the signal and cause the boundary to shift (see Factors
Affecting Signal Strength on Page 36).

IMPORTANT MESSAGE
The correction level of the Collar may be
adjusted by the Controller based on the
size and temperament of your dog. There
are 5 static correction levels and one
Tone Only (sound only) level. The default
correction level of the Collar is tone only.
It is recommended to start with a lower
correction level when training your dog.

Testing the Trigger Zone (continued):
Step 1
•
Walk a parallel path to your boundary, 10 feet inside the flag line, at
the same SLOW deliberate pace and in the same manner in which
you recorded the Trigger Zone while gently moving the Collar to keep
it awake.
•
The Collar alarm should not tone as you walk along the inside of your
boundary. If the Collar alarm tones during your Trigger Zone test, make a
note of the location and continue walking inside your Fence Boundary.
•
Once complete, look at the Wireless Fence Tracker. The path that
you walked should be represented by little red circles (see Figure 7.0).
•
The red circles should closely, but not perfectly run parallel to the green line.
•
If you notice any extreme dips, loops or crossovers in your fence, you may
want to Remove your Fence and re-record. In most cases you may need to
simply move flags one way or the other to be closer to the boundary
(see Wireless Fence Tracker Examples on Page 27). If the Fence Boundary
is still not within your level of tolerance and if re-recording does not solve
the problem (consult your Troubleshooting Guide), it may be necessary to
reposition one or more of your Bases so that there are less signal limiting
obstructions (see Page 8) between the Fence Boundary and your Bases (see
Factors Affecting Signal Strength on Page 36).
Step 2
•
Walk toward the boundary while gently moving the Collar to keep it
awake until the Collar beeps and the Collar Light flashes red. To confirm the
boundary location, step back until the Collar stops beeping and then walk
forward in the same direction until the Collar beeps and the Collar Light
flashes red again (see Illustration H).
•
Test the Trigger Zone in multiple locations.
•
If necessary, move the flags to the correct location. If not satisfied with the
location, you may need to Remove your Fence and re-record.
If you have any Exclusion Zones, perform similar Trigger Zone testing.
Removing a Collar:
1.
To remove a Collar, select "Collars" from the main menu (see Screen 6.2).
2.
Press "Remove Collar" (see Screen 7.7).
3.
Press the Collar that you wish to remove (see Screen 7.8).
4.
If you are certain that this is the Collar that you would like to remove,
press "Yes". Press "No" to return to the previous selection screen
(see Screen 8.3). Select "No" if you picked the wrong Collar or if you have
changed your mind and you will be returned to the Collar selection screen.
5.
Upon successful removal, you will be returned to the Collar selection
screen (see Screen 8.5).
6.
Repeat this process to remove the other Collar.

IMPORTANT MESSAGE
CAUTION: Before fitting the Collar on
your dog, make sure the battery is not
in the Collar. Insert the battery after the
Collar has been fitted to your dog
