HOW THE HIDDEN FENCE IS INSTALLED
The boundary wire creates the perimeter for the DogWatch Hidden Fence System,
and can enclose any area up to 200 acres. The wire is buried 3-4” beneath the
surface of the yard or can lie on top of the ground (e.g. in wooded or rocky areas).
Each boundary wire is customized for your home, and can be configured to keep
your pet out of the pool, out of your garden, or away from other designated areas.

Boundary Wire: The boundary wire, buried below or above ground, carries the
coded FM radio signal around the perimeter of your property. In order for the
system to work properly, the boundary wire must form a continuous loop.
Signal Field: The radio signal is transmitted from the boundary wire in all directions.
It can be used to keep dogs in or out of an area. The signal is adjusted by the Range
Control on the Transmitter to create a signal field on each side of the wire. Your
Dealer has installed the wire to the recommended width of 8-10 feet and has carefully
configured the corners to avoid sharp angles.
T-10 SmartFence Transmitter: The T-10 SmartFence Transmitter sends a coded
FM radio signal through the boundary wire. All boundary settings can be manual-
ly adjusted on the SmartFence Transmitter.
NOTE: Any break in the wire will cancel the signal field. If the boundary wire is broken or
unplugged, the green Range & Boundary Loop Monitor Display (LMD) light will go out and
an audible warning will sound. Most breaks are caused by lawn/garden equipment. If you
cannot visibly locate the break, contact your Authorized Dealer for service.
NOTE: A twisted wire will result in no signal field at the wire and will not warn or correct your
dog when approaching or crossing the boundary at these locations.
