Set Up the Transmitter
Important: You may need to move the Transmitter several times before determining the final location.
The Transmitter is located at the exact center of the Pet Area. Place the Transmitter:
• At least 2 feet above the floor located on the ground floor of your home.
• In a dry, well ventilated, protected area.
• In an area where temperatures do not fall below freezing (e.g., garage, shed, closet).
• On a non-metal table or mount on a wall (1A). A mounting template is included on the back of
this guide.
• At least 3 feet from large metal objects, as these items may reduce the size and shape of your
Pet Area (1B).
• Do not place anything on top of Transmitter or cover any ventilation holes. This may
overheat the Transmitter and cause early transmit failure.
• Do not place Transmitter in a closet or any other confined, unventilated area.
• Do not place Transmitter on a metal surface.
To maximize your Pet Area, make sure the Boundary Switch is on “High” and the Boundary Control
Dial is set to “8” (1C). Plug Power Adapter into Power Jack and standard 120-volt outlet. Turn the
Transmitter on (1D).
