Use the Pairing button to select channel (Dog 1, Dog 2, Dog 3). Step 2: When receiver is turned off, press and hold the power button on the receiver for 3 seconds to enter pairing mode. The receiver is in pairing mode for 15 seconds, indicated by rapid green flashing for the same duration.Step 3: To complete pairing, press any of the tone, vibration, or static stimulation button on the transmitter within 15 seconds. Upon successful pairing, the transmitter’s interface will switch back to the main screen, and the receiver will emit a beep with a slow flashing green light. Note:
To pair additional receivers, select different channels and follow the same pairing steps. Each channel can only be paired with one receiver.
If a channel is already paired with a receiver and you pair it with a new one, it will override the previous pairing. Simply switch to a different channel for additional receivers. Note: Once paired, the channels can be used for training, fencing, or forbidden modes without the need to re-pair in different modes. -
Introduction and Usage of the Fence Mode
3.1 Working Principle of Fence Mode
The operation of the Fence Mode is based on establishing an invisible circular boundary around the transmitter, with a radius ranging from 10 feet to 120 feet. When the dog, equipped with the receiver, approaches or crosses this boundary, the receiver emits alerts, prompting the dog to return to the designated safe area. With straightforward operation and your training efforts, your dog can enjoy playing freely within the specified safe zone.
For convenience, the device features both Working and Testing modes (for more details, refer to section 3.6). In Working mode, the system monitors the pet’s position based on the set fence distance and issues warnings as the pet approaches the boundary. Pet Monitoring: The transmitter displays the distance to the receiver (pet collar) in real-time.Beyond the Fence: If the pet goes beyond the set fence distance, the receiver initiates progressive warnings, which cease immediately once the pet returns within the boundary.No Signal Alert: In areas with no signal coverage,
the transmitter will indicate this. No warnings will be triggered on the
receiver in no-signal areas, ensuring the safety of your pet. Simply ensure
that the boundary line is set within an area covered by the signal.

3.4 Setting the Fence Boundary
- This product establishes a wireless circular fence boundary using the transmitter as the center point and sets a specific radius distance.
- The boundary radius can be adjusted using the +/- buttons. The minimum setting is 10 feet, and the maximum setting is 120 feet, creating a circular boundary.
3.5 Recommendations for the Placement of the Transmitter
The transmitter functions as the central origin point of the fence.
Signal accuracy may be slightly influenced by interference from devices such
as Wi-Fi networks, Bluetooth devices, microwaves, cordless phones, and metal
base stations.
Additionally, obstacles in various environments, including indoors, outdoors,
mountains, and buildings, can lead to signal attenuation, which may affect the
product’s effectiveness.
It’s important to note that while these factors may affect signal accuracy to
a minor extent, typically resulting in only around a 5% deviation, the product
can still operate reliably. Therefore, if optimal placement is not feasible,
the product can still function effectively with usually insignificant
deviations.
Consider the following recommendations for placement based on your specific
location:
- It’s advisable to position the transmitter on a table or mount it on a wall to prevent pets and children from accessing it, thereby minimizing the risk of damage.
- The transmitter is not waterproof, so refrain from placing it in rainy conditions or near water sources.
- To minimize interference, keep the transmitter at a distance from Wi-Fi network routers, Bluetooth devices, microwaves, cordless phones, and metal base stations.
- For optimal performance, situate the transmitter in an open area devoid of obstructions. For example, place it on a clutter-free table indoors or mount it on a wall near the entrance when utilized outdoors.
3.6 Introduction to the Test Mode
In fence mode, short press the Pairing buttonto toggle between the test mode
and work mode. Choose working mode for normal use, and test mode for assessing
environmental signal conditions.
Note: The wireless fence’s electronic signal may be slightly affected by
interference from the devices like Wi-Fi routers, Bluetooth devices,
microwaves, cordless phones, and metal base stations. Therefore, it’s crucial
to first utilize the test mode to ensure a stable signal environment before
determining the range of the fence.
The purpose of the test mode is to assess signal stability, range, and measure
the working range in the actual usage environment.
It also helps determine the optimal placement of the transmitter.
Below in this section, you will find a two-person method and a one-person
method on how to do it.
To ensure proper functionality of the wireless fence, it’s essential to verify
that the signal is stable both before and beyond the boundary by at least 3
feet. Without a stable signal near the boundary, the system will not
effectively contain your pet, as there will be no warning when the dog crosses
the boundary in an area with an unstable signal.
The logic behind the test is to identify the maximum stable signal range in
all desired directions where you plan to contain your dog.
Based on this information, you can then set up the radius for the fence. The
minimum possible radius is 10 feet, and the maximum workable radius will be
equal to the shortest signal range observed in your test for the desired
directions.
For example, after testing the range in five directions where you plan to
contain the dog, if the shortest range is approximately 100 feet, you can
safely switch to working mode and set up the fence radius somewhere between 10
feet (the minimum) and 120 feet (the maximum), depending on your needs and
your property.
Note: If you have a small property with the intended radius well within 100
feet (for instance, 50 feet), there’s no need to find the maximum signal
range, as it’s very likely to reach your desired boundary. Instead, ensure
that the signal is stable near the boundary in all required directions.
If your test results with the current position for the center point are not
satisfactory, please change the position of the center point and conduct the
test again to find the optimal placement. Below are two methods on how to
determine the maximum stable signal coverage.
Two-Person Testing Method:
A. Position the transmitter at the desired central point. One person observes
and records distance shown on the transmitter, while another carries the
receiver to test signals in various directions.
B. The observer notes when “No Signal” appears, indicating the signal free
area, and records the distance before signal loss.
C. The person with the receiver moves slowly in one direction.
When the receiver beeps, indicating no or unstable signal, move back slightly
until the beeping stops to find the stable signal position.
D. Repeat the steps for other directions as needed.
Single-Person Testing Method:
E. Place the receiver at the desired central point and take the transmitter.
F. Slowly move in one direction with the transmitter until it beeps and
displays “No Signal,” indicating a signal-free area.
G. Step back slightly until the beeping stops, marking the stable signal
position, and record the distance shown on the transmitter.
H. Repeat the process for other directions as necessary.
4.Introduction and Usage of the Forbidden Zone Mode
4.1 Working Principle of Forbidden Zone Mode
The forbidden zone mode creates a circular no-entry area for pets, centered on
the transmitter with a radius of 5FT to 15FT. If a pet enters this area, the
collar emits a warning to deter them.
4.2 Forbidden Zone Mode. Introduction
4.3 Forbidden Zone Mode Operation
Press the Forbidden area button to activate this mode. The home screen
displays the barrier mode icon, vibration or static mode, and the dog(s)
forbidden from entering.
Choose which dogs are prohibited from entering the area by pressing the
Channel Selection button: Dog 1, Dog 2, Dog 3, Dog 1+2, Dog 1+3, Dog 2+3, or
ALL DOG.
Switch between vibration and static mode: the system defaults to vibration.
Press the Static Mode button to change, as indicated by the static icon on the
screen.
Adjust the forbidden zone distance using the +/- buttons, ranging from a
minimum of 5 feet to a maximum of 15 feet.
