Test the Barrier Area
1. Keeping your hands away from the Contact Points,
use the edge of the Test Light Tool to turn the receiver
battery door to the ON position.
2. Hold the Receiver Collar with the Contact Points facing
up. Place the Test Light Tool on the Contact Points so
that the wire in the Test Light Tool touches the Contact
Points (3A). The PetSafe
®
logo on the Receiver Collar
should face the Transmitter.
3. Hold the Receiver Collar at the approximate height
of your dog’s neck (3B). Start outside of the range
and walk slowly toward the Barrier Transmitter. As
you reach the Barrier Area, the Receiver Collar emits
a series of high-pitched tones. For each tone you
hear, you should notice the Test Light flashing which
indicates that a Progressive Static Correction is being
delivered. The Receiver Collar’s tone is easily heard by
dogs but may be at a volume level difficult for some
humans to hear.
4. Check the range of the Barrier Area from multiple
angles to ensure you are getting the desired coverage.
Note: Should you find that you are not getting the desired
range at the maximum setting, move the Barrier Transmitter
a few feet, or change from its standing-on-end position to
laying flat. Metal objects can alter the magnetic field and
change the transmitting signal range. The effect on the
range depends on the size and shape of the objects. Signal
range can be reduced if the Barrier Transmitter is placed on
a concrete floor, due to steel reinforcement in the
3A
3B
concrete. For best range results, place the Barrier Transmitter on a nonconductive surface,
i.e., wood floor or table. Placing the Barrier Transmitter beneath sofas and beds can reduce
the range due to the metal springs altering the magnetic field.
