Installation
The INT/EXT switch on the back of the unit allows you to choose your preferred application.
You cannot use both applications at the same time.
EXT allows you to use the transmitter with a boundary wire.
INT allows you to use the transmitter without a boundary wire.
EXT - With a Boundary Wire
When using the boundary wire (EXT), you can create one or more avoidance areas that are off-limits to your pet or
you can create customized containment areas. You can use the placement of the wire plus the size of the signal
field to create customized areas. There are two ways to adjust the size of the signal field:
• Use the Signal Range adjustment
• Increase or decrease the distance between the separated wires (see below)
Follow these general guidelines when using a boundary wire.
• Strip one end of the double stranded wire. Connect each strand to a wire terminal on the back
of the unit. Strip the other end and twist the wires together to make a continuous signal loop.
• All wires should be placed so that they do not interfere with normal household activities.
• Do not install boundary wires next to baseboard heating units or set the transmitter on or near large metal
objects as the these could pick up and transmit the radio signal.
Creating a Continuous Loop
The boundary wire must form a continuous signal loop for there
to be a signal field. To accomplish this, you must strip and twist the
final ends of the boundary wire together.
Creating a Signal Field
The boundary wire supplied with the transmitter is a double wire.
• The wires must be separated to create a signal.
• There is no signal when the wires are next to each other.
Separating the wires increases the size of the signal field as well
as the signal range (the distance the signal travels from the wire).
A signal field may be created in a single location or multiple
locations on the wire.
________________________________
•
The boundary wire carries a radio signal. You do not need
to worry about an electrical shock from the wires.
•
Boundary wire that is not separated to create a signal field
may emit a slight radio signal which could activate the receiver
collar if your pet lies directly on top of the wire.
•
If the boundary wire becomes disconnected or damaged so
there is not a continuous signal loop, an alarm will sound and
the Status Light on the top of the transmitter blinks red and
yellow.

INT - Without a Wire
Setting the Avoidance Area
Set the range (see page 1) then
place the MB-2 transmitter in
the center of the pet-free area.
For example, on a counter, near
a doorway or under a piece of
furniture.
To locate the signal field, place
the test light on the contact posts
and move toward the transmitter
until you hear the warning beeps.
Avoid touching the contact posts.
Test the signal field and place
the training flags before putting
the collar on your dog.
Signal Range
When used without an attached wire, the signal radiates in all directions
around the transmitter (as if it were in the center of a large ball.) Maximum
signal range is up to
ft in all directions from the center of the transmitter.

Training
•
Before putting the receiver collar on your pet, place boundary flags on
the edge of the signal field just past where the receiver collar picks up the
audible signal. The boundary flags serve as visual clues for your pet while
he learns which areas are safe and which areas to avoid.
•
Put the receiver collar on your pet, making sure it is adjusted appropriately.
It should be snug, with the contact posts touching the skin, but not
uncomfortably tight.
•
Attach a leash to your pet's regular collar and approach the signal field.
As you near the flags, shake a boundary flag in front of him, and firmly say,
"Watch out!" or "Careful!"
•
With the leash attached to the collar, allow your pet to walk past the
boundary flags. As he crosses into the warning area, he will hear a beeping noise. If your pet has
already been trained to an outdoor Hidden Fence, he may retreat immediately when he sees the
flags or hears the beeps. If he continues into the correction zone, he will receive a brief 'correction'
(a mild sensation that is unpleasant but will not harm your pet.) Immediately call out, "Watch out",
and tug the leash firmly to pull your pet out of the signal field.
•
Again, allow your pet to approach the boundary flags. If he retreats when he hears the audible
warning, reinforce the behavior with praise and affection. If your pet fails to stop at the audible
warning, repeat the above. You may need to repeat this several times over several days. Allow
for plenty of rest and play time.
•
Each time you set up a new boundary area, place the flags at the edge of the Signal Field
and retrain your pet to the new area.
Training Flags
The training flags are placed
around the edge of the warning
zone to mark the pet-free
boundary area. Gradually
remove the flags after your
MB-2
pet is trained.
