33• How to check that your pet fencing system is functioning properlyYou can check that your pet fencing system is operating correctly at any time:− Before doing so, make sure the receiver collar is turned Off (battery removed from its housing).− Fix each wire of the neon test lamp under each contact point (unscrewing them lightly and retightening them so as to pinchthe test lamp wires).− Turn On the transmitter and the receiver collar.− Walk up to the antenna wire holding the collar by the strap at the same height and orientation as if on your dog’s neck. Atsome distance from the wire depending on the settings, the collar should emit beep sounds then, as you get closer to thewire, the test lamp should light up.− Before disconnecting the test lamp, make sure the receiver collar is turned Off (battery removed from its housing).• Fitting and positioning the collarFitting and positioning are very important. In fact, these settings determine the correct operation of the product (strayingdetection, transmission of the stimulations).The position of the collar around the neck of the dog should be in the following way: The CANIFUGUE label is visible and isnot in contact with the breast of the dog.To achieve best results from your system, the strap must be adjusted so that the contact points are in contact with the skinof the dog.− If the strap is too loose, the collar is likely to move and repeated friction can irritate the skin of your dog. Furthermore, thecollar will not function correctly.− If the collar is too tight, the dog will have breathing difficulties.The strap is properly adjusted when you can insert two fingers between the strap and your dog’s neck.If necessary, replace the short contact points with the long ones supplied with the kit (ref § Changing the contact points).• Getting the best resultsThe performances of your pet fencing system will be optimal if you follow these recommendations before each use:− Make sure the collar battery is sufficiently charged: its condition affects the proper functioning of the collar. At temperaturesbelow 0°C, the battery is less effective than at room temperature.− Make sure both contact points are properly tightened on the collar.− Check the good fit and position of the collar on the neck of your dog.guide canifugue MIX - C.indd 33 16/11/2015 15:00
