Place the Boundary Flags

The Boundary Flags are visual reminders for
your pet of where the Warning Zone is located.
1. Hold the Receiver Collar at your pet's
neck height.
2. Walk towards the Warning Zone until the
Receiver Collar beeps (8A).
3. Place a Boundary Flag in the ground (8B).
4. Walk back into the Pet Area until the
beeping stops.
5. Repeat this process around the Warning
Zone until it is marked with Boundary Flags
every 3 m (10 ft).
Note: If you cannot hear the beep, see the Test Light Instructions in Step 6.
STEP 9

Fit the Receiver Collar

Important: The proper fit and placement of your Receiver Collar is important for effective operation. The Contact Points must
have direct contact with your pet's skin on the underside of his neck.

To prevent an unintended stimulation, after the Boundary Flags have been placed, be sure to set the
Static Stimulation on the Receiver Collar back to level 1 Tone Only.
Please read and follow the instructions in this manual. Proper fit of the collar is important. A collar
worn for too long or made too tight on the pet's neck may cause skin damage. Ranging from
redness to pressure ulcers; this condition is commonly known as bed sores.
• Avoid leaving the collar on the dog for more than 12 hours per day.
• When possible reposition the collar on the pet's neck every 1 to 2 hours.
• Check the fit to prevent excessive pressure; follow the instructions in this manual.
• Never connect a lead to the electronic collar; it will cause excessive pressure on the contacts.
• When using a separate collar for a lead, don't put pressure on the electronic collar.
• Wash the dog's neck area and the contacts of the collar weekly with a damp cloth.
• Examine the contact area daily for signs of a rash or a sore.
• If a rash or sore is found, discontinue use of the collar until the skin has healed.
• If the condition persists beyond 48 hours, see your veterinarian.
• For additional information on bed sores and pressure necrosis, please visit our website.
These steps will help keep your pet safe and comfortable. Millions of pets are comfortable while
they wear stainless steel contacts. Some pets are sensitive to contact pressure. You may find
after some time that your pet is very tolerant of the collar. If so, you may relax some of these
precautions. It is important to continue daily checks of the contact area. If redness or sores are
found, discontinue use until the skin has fully healed. You may need to trim the hair in the area of
the Contact Points. Never shave the dog's neck; this may lead to a rash or infection.
