Premier Pet Wireless Fence Manual: An Overview
The Premier Pet Wireless Fence manual serves as a comprehensive guide. It provides essential information for setting up, operating, and maintaining the wireless fence system. It covers aspects such as safety precautions and troubleshooting, ensuring responsible pet containment.
Understanding the Premier Pet Wireless Fence System
The Premier Pet Wireless Fence system provides a safe boundary for your dog. It utilizes a transmitter and receiver collar. This system creates a circular boundary, adjustable up to acre, keeping your pet securely within the designated area without physical wires.
How the Wireless Fence Works
The Premier Pet Wireless Fence operates by creating a circular radio frequency boundary. This boundary is emitted from a central transmitter unit. The transmitter should be placed indoors, in a dry, well-ventilated area. Avoid placing it near metal objects that might interfere with the signal.
Your pet wears a receiver collar that detects this radio signal. As your pet approaches the boundary, the collar emits a warning tone. If the pet continues closer to the boundary, a static correction is delivered. This correction is designed to deter the pet from crossing the designated boundary.
The intensity of the static correction can usually be adjusted based on your pet’s temperament. The system is designed as a deterrent, not a solid barrier. Consistent training is essential to teach your pet to respect the boundary and understand the warning signals. The system is expandable for additional coverage area. Regular checks on the collar’s battery are important to ensure the system functions correctly.
Key Definitions in the Manual
Understanding the terminology in the Premier Pet Wireless Fence manual is crucial for proper use. The “Transmitter” is the device that emits the radio signal, creating the boundary. The “Receiver Collar” is worn by your pet and receives the signal from the transmitter. It delivers a warning tone and static correction.
The “Boundary Zone” is the area defined by the radio signal where the pet is allowed to roam freely. The “Warning Zone” is the area closer to the edge of the boundary where the collar emits an audible warning. The “Correction Zone” is the area beyond the warning zone where the static correction is activated.
“Static Correction” refers to the safe, yet attention-getting impulse delivered by the collar. “Boundary Flags” are visual aids used during training to help your pet understand the perimeter. “Run-Through Prevention” is the training method used to teach your pet to avoid crossing the boundary. Familiarizing yourself with these terms will aid in effective training and system operation.
Setting Up the Premier Pet Wireless Fence
Proper setup is essential for the Premier Pet Wireless Fence’s effectiveness. This includes correctly positioning the transmitter. It also includes preparing the receiver collar. These steps ensure your pet’s safety and the system’s reliable operation.
Transmitter Placement and Setup
The transmitter for the Premier Pet Wireless Fence should be placed in a dry, well-ventilated area, protected from extreme temperatures, ideally above -10°F (-23°C). Avoid placing it near metal objects or electronic devices that might interfere with the signal. Secure the transmitter to a stationary surface using mounting hardware (not included). A mounting template may be included in the manual to assist with this.
Ensure the transmitter is located where temperatures do not fall below -10F (-23C), such as a garage, basement, shed, or closet. Proper placement ensures optimal signal transmission. This contributes to the reliability of the wireless boundary.
The Premier Pet Wireless Dog Fence keeps your dog safely within your yard with a wireless circular boundary that includes adjustable coverage up to acre and is expandable for additional coverage area.
Refer to the manual for specific instructions and diagrams for your particular model.
Preparing the Receiver Collar
Preparing the receiver collar involves several crucial steps. First, ensure the collar is properly fitted to your dog’s neck. It should be snug enough to make contact, but not so tight as to cause discomfort. You may need to trim the hair in the area of the contact points to ensure proper contact with your pet’s skin. Check the fit regularly to prevent excessive pressure. The included waterproof receiver collar is adjustable, making it a great fit for both smaller and larger dogs.
Next, install the battery correctly, following the manual’s instructions for your specific collar model. A low battery indicator on the collar will alert you when the collar battery should be replaced. Ensure the collar is functioning correctly by testing it within the designated boundary area after setup.
Refer to the manual for detailed instructions and illustrations. Always prioritize your pet’s comfort and safety.
Adjusting and Customizing the Pet Area
Adjusting and customizing the pet area involves setting the boundary limits to suit your yard and pet’s needs. The Premier Pet Wireless Fence offers adjustable coverage, allowing you to define a circular boundary that best fits your property. Refer to the manual for specific instructions on increasing or decreasing the radius.
Consider your pet’s size and temperament when determining the appropriate boundary size. Ensure the area is free of hazards and provides ample space for your pet to roam safely. The system is expandable for additional coverage area.
Avoid placing the transmitter near metal objects or electronic devices, as they may interfere with the signal. Regularly test the boundary to ensure it remains consistent and effective. Mark the perimeter clearly with training flags, as indicated in the manual, to aid in your pet’s training.
Training Your Pet to Use the Wireless Fence
Training your pet is crucial for the success of the Premier Pet Wireless Fence. Begin by familiarizing your pet with the receiver collar, allowing them to wear it for short periods. Introduce the boundary flags, walking your pet around the perimeter on a leash.
When your pet approaches a flag, gently redirect them back inside the boundary. If the collar activates, calmly guide your pet away from the boundary. Reward them with praise and treats for staying within the designated area.
Repeat these training sessions several times a day, gradually increasing the duration. Never punish your pet during training; focus on positive reinforcement. Monitor your pet closely during the initial weeks and provide consistent reinforcement. With patience and consistency, your pet will learn to respect the boundaries.
Troubleshooting Common Issues
Encountering issues with your Premier Pet Wireless Fence is not uncommon, but most can be resolved with simple troubleshooting. If the receiver collar isn’t beeping or correcting, ensure the battery is fresh and properly installed. Verify the transmitter is securely plugged in and powered on, and that the boundary range is appropriately set.
If your pet isn’t responding to the static correction, check the collar’s fit and ensure the contact points are touching the skin. Hair between the contact points and skin can impede effectiveness; trimming may be necessary. Occasionally, interference from metal objects or electronic devices can disrupt the signal. Experiment with relocating the transmitter.
If problems persist, contact Premier Pet’s customer support for assistance. With systematic troubleshooting, you can restore your pet’s containment system to optimal functionality.
Safety Information and Precautions
Prioritizing your pet’s safety is paramount when using the Premier Pet Wireless Fence. Always supervise your pet during the initial training phase to ensure they understand the boundaries. This system is designed as a deterrent, not a solid barrier, and may not be suitable for aggressive dogs.
Regularly check the receiver collar’s fit to prevent pressure sores, following the manual’s instructions. Avoid using the system on pets with health conditions or puppies under six months old without veterinary consultation. Never test the correction level on yourself; start at the lowest setting and gradually increase as needed.
Ensure the transmitter is placed in a dry, well-ventilated area, away from extreme temperatures and potential interference. By adhering to these safety guidelines, you can minimize risks and promote your pet’s well-being.
Expanding the System
The Premier Pet Wireless Fence system offers expandability to accommodate growing needs. To increase the coverage area, additional compatible receiver collars can be added, allowing multiple pets to be contained within the same boundary.
Consider the Premier Pet Wire and Flag Expansion Set (GRFA-500) to extend the in-ground fence up to 5 acres, customizing the barrier for your specific yard layout. This allows you to create exclusion zones, keeping pets away from gardens or pools.
Ensure all added components are Premier Pet-approved to maintain system compatibility and performance. Refer to the manual for detailed instructions on synchronizing new receiver collars with the existing transmitter. Proper expansion ensures all pets remain safely contained, enhancing the system’s versatility and effectiveness.
