pet area until you are satisfied that the system is
functioning properly.

there are no areas where the Receiver Collar may
activate from signals coupled onto buried wires or
cables. Test the collar in and around the inside of
the house as well. As mentioned, cable and wires

from cable TV, electrical or telephone lines may conduct the Fence Transmitter signal inside and outside the
house that can activate the dog’s collar accidentally. While rare, if this occurs, your Boundary Wire should be
moved or modified where it crosses these outside lines as shown in Figure 5A.
11. To test the run-through prevention feature, walk beyond the Boundary Wire. The Receiver Collar should
tone and the Test Light should flash. If the Receiver Collar did not tone or the Test Light did not flash, see
the “Troubleshooting” section.

Once you are satisfied that your system is functioning properly, you are ready to start burying the Boundary Wire.
