Explanation of the Functions and Operation

1. Power On/Off
   Transmitter: Press the power button once to turn on, and hold it for 2 seconds to turn off. Receiver: Press the power button once to turn on, and hold for 2 seconds to turn off. It emits a beep and displays a green light when turning on, and beeps twice with a flashing red light when turning off.

2.  Steps for Pairing the Transmitter and Receiver
   Step 1: In any mode, long-pressing the pairing button will enter pairing mode.
   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.

3. 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.![Wellturn F900 Plus Wireless Electronic Fence

   Level 1: audible signal only.
   Levels 2-6: progressive sequential sound and vibration are automatically activated in the order.

3.4 Setting the Fence Boundary

1. This product establishes a wireless circular fence boundary using the transmitter as the center point and sets a specific radius distance.
2. 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:

1. 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.
2. The transmitter is not waterproof, so refrain from placing it in rainy conditions or near water sources.
3. To minimize interference, keep the transmitter at a distance from Wi-Fi network routers, Bluetooth devices, microwaves, cordless phones, and metal base stations.
4. 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.
