Getting Started
QUICK CHECKLIST
Before you begin the installation process,
be sure to check the following:
• Make sure that you have all system components
ready and available.
• Charge the Controller and Batteries for 3 hours. Connect
the Controller, via the USB Cable, to your computer while it
is turned on or to the USB AC Adapter.
• If a Found New Hardware screen appears when you connect the
Controller to your computer, press Cancel.
Planning Your Wireless Fence Boundary & Exclusion Zones:
Because the Custom-Shape Wireless Dog Fence is so flexible, there are an infinite number of installation layout options you
can design. Prior to installation, it is important to map out how you envision the layout of your wireless fence to ensure it suits
the custom shape of your yard while providing your dog optimum freedom and safety.
The following are sample layouts, which you may consider implementing on your property:

Setting Up the Bases
Installing the Bases:
•
The best choice to place your Bases is on windows or outer walls
in the furthest corners of your home, near 120V AC power
outlets, spaced as far apart as possible, but a minimum of 20 feet
apart. Increasing the distance between the Bases will increase their
tracking accuracy.
• If Bases must be in the same area, such as a garage, it is better to
place Bases on adjacent walls than on the same wall.
• Do NOT place the Bases within 3 feet of metal objects, such as
mirrors, microwaves, home appliances, an electric power meter,
air conditioning units, metal grates/fences, metal screened
porches, downspouts, large bushes or other objects immediately
outside the wall. Move the Bases so that they have the best
communication path to the outside.
Position all 4 Bases at the far corners inside of your home and near a
power outlet (including the attached garage if it applies).
1.
Install the Master Base A first. To identify it from the rest of
the Bases, the Master Base A is the only Base to have a USB port on
the bottom next to the power port.
2.
Position the Master Base A in an interior corner wall near the
area where your dog spends most of his time outdoors (see
Illustration A). Make sure a power outlet is nearby.
3.
Using the removable wall-mount adhesive strips or screw
& wall anchor, mount the Master Base A on the appropriate
wall, approximately 6 feet off the ground or at eye level
(see Illustration B). Do not plug in the Master Base A at
this time.
4.
There is no difference between the other 3 Bases. Attach them
to walls in the remaining 3 corners, approximately 6 feet off the
ground or at eye level. Do NOT plug them in at this time.
