4. Adjust the boundary distance setting to establish the warning zone. We recommend setting it so that the warning zone begins at least 3
metres before the boundary wire.
When adjusting the boundary distance, consider the size of your garden and the height and temperament of your pet. A wide boundary
distance may work well for a tall, high-energy pet in a spacious garden, but may be unnecessarily restrictive for a short, timid pet or
a limited garden. If using a double loop layout, you may need to increase the separation of the boundary wire and/or increase the
boundary distance to achieve the desired range.
5. Repeat this test at different places along the boundary wire to verify that it is working properly everywhere.
6. Next, walk throughout the pet area to ensure there are no areas where the receiver collar may activate from signals coupled onto buried
wires, cables or metal plumbing. Test the receiver collar in and around the inside of the house as well.
Metal plumbing or cable and wires from cable TV, electrical or telephone lines may conduct pet fencing signals inside and outside the
house that can activate the receiver collar accidentally. While rare, if this occurs, it means you need to adjust the boundary wire where it
crosses a cable or electrical wire or where it approaches a metallic object. After the adjustment, retest the system.
7. Once you are satisfied that your system is functioning properly, you are ready to start burying the boundary wire.
