1. MGG DFS W227D Electronic Dog Fencing System with Re chargeable Collars The latest MGG LED digital display in ground Dog fence system W227D is among the most reliable cost efficient pet containment systems available today A buried wire transmits a harmless radio signal and when your dog approaches the boundary the signal causes the dog s collar receiver to deliver a warning beep If your dog continues closer to the boundary the system will issue a mild and harmless static shock If your dog continues further the system will issue stronger shocks until your dog returns to within the boundary which you have set up Your dog will naturally seek to avoid correction and will be content staying within established boundaries SOUND amp SHOCK PULSE RATE INGREASES AS DOG STIMULUS IS APPROACHES THE BOUNDARY DELIVERED IN SHORT PULSES PULSES PER SEGOND A Sound 8 Shock stimulus is delivered in short pulses The pulse rate increases as your dog approaches the boundary Main features Pulsed Proportional Stimulus The closer your dog gets to the boundary the more intense the shock will be Progressive Tone Stimulus A warning tone will be issued first then a shock stimulus if your dog continues to move closer to the boundary Variable Field Width Control Allows you to precisely control the width of the signal field Audible and Visual Wire Break Indicators Should your boundary wire ever break a loud sonic alarm will s2. and long probes for long haired dogs Finger tighten the probes then turn them one half of an additional revolution Do not over tighten Check the tightness of the probes regularly to prevent loss of the receiver box Collar Strap To prevent accidental correction inside the home remove the collar from the dog s neck when it comes inside Place the collar around the dog s neck with the receiver box under the chin The collar must be on relatively tight to keep the probes making skin contact without restricting breathing You should be able to slide only one finger under the strap at the back of the dog s neck Always make sure the collar is functioning properly BEFORE putting it on the dog Remove other metal collars when the dog wears the containment collar Metal collars may interfere with proper operation Remove the collar and trim the excess strap 10 SECTION 2 How the correction works Pre Correction Warning Tone When the dog reaches the edge of the signal field in the yard it will hear a warning tone If the dog does not return to the safe part of the yard it will receive a continuous correction until it returns to the safe area Run Through Prevention The receiver automatically increases the correction as the dog enters further into the signal field The dog cannot run through the signal field without receiving a strong correction SECTION 3 Training your dog To get the most out of your containment system when

9. il you have tested the system and are sure it is working properly DO NOT nick or scrape the wire during installation Improper function may result Use your drawing as a reference Begin laying the wire around the perimeter of your containment area to form a continuous loop Use gradual turns at the corners with a minimum of 1 metre radius This provides a more consistent signal field If you are using more wire than initially supplied with your containment system the wire connections must be waterproof to provide a sealed connection between the wires Use the waterproof joiners provided by MGG DO NOT use electrical tape or twisted wire nuts This will cause an intermittent signal or disarm the system Continue around your perimeter until you return to the start of the loop Cut the wire Step 6 Connect the perimeter wire to the wall transmitter The wire from the perimeter to the wall transmitter should be twisted to cancel the signal This allows the dog to cross the area without receiving a correction It also eliminates possible interference from electrical wires etc Measure the distance from the wall transmitter to the edge of the perimeter wire Because twisting the wire decreases the length of the wire multiply the distance by 1 12 Measure and cut two wires of equal lengths of the above measurement Hold the two ends of the wire side by side and twist them together The wires can be twisted manually until the twists are 6 to 12 cm
