Adjusting pet area to desired size on a wireless system
Adjusting pet area to desired size on a wireless system

If you have a wireless fence system, this article will walk you through two methods for establishing or adjusting the containment area for your pet.
Consider the layout of your yard, its size, and the area that you want to create for your pet to enjoy in your yard. The wireless fence creates a circular containment area, with the transmitter in the center of the circle. Make sure the entire pet area lies within your property boundaries. If the boundary zone will be less than 45 feet from the transmitter, place the boundary switch on low. If the boundary zone will be greater than 45 feet place the boundary switch on high.
Two-Person Method
Hold the receiver collar at your pet’s neck height with logo side facing away from the transmitter. Walk to the edge of the desired containment area. Facing away from the transmitter, hold the receiver collar at the edge of the desired pet area. Begin with the boundary control dial set to 8, have a second person turn the dial down SLOWLY. When the receiver collar starts to beep, tell the person to stop turning the boundary control dial. Now your boundary is set. Note the boundary setting on the transmitter for future reference
One-Person Method
Measure the shortest distance from the desired boundary zone to the transmitter. Find the distance on the transmitter range chart below and set the boundary switch and boundary control dial. Take the receiver collar to the boundary zone with the receiver collar at your pets neck height with logo side facing away from the transmitter. Determine where the receiver collar begins to beep. If the receiver collar beeps before or after the desired boundary zone, return to the transmitter and adjust the boundary control dial. Repeat this process until the receiver collar is beeping at the desired location. Record your settings below for future reference. Note: Remember that you may also move the transmitter within your home to adjust the location of the containment area as needed.
