10. If Receiver Collar does not beep and the Test Light does not fl ash, replace the battery in the Receiver Collar. If it still
does not beep and the Test Light does not fl ash, contact the Customer Care Center at 1-800-732-2677.
11. If the Receiver Collar beeps, there may be a complete or partial break in the Boundary Wire. See the “To Locate a Break
in the Boundary Wire” section (page 17).

To Locate a Break in the Boundary Wire
Please follow these steps in determining where you have a break in your Boundary Wire:
1. Locate your original splice(s) and verify they have a good, solid connection.

2. Check your yard to determine any possible damage to the Boundary Wire (e.g. recent digging, aerating, rodent
burrowing, or any other noticeable disturbance in your yard next to the Boundary Wire).
If you still cannot fi nd the break in the Boundary Wire, there are two options for locating it:
Option 1: Contact the Customer Care Center at 1-800-732-2677 to purchase a Wire Break Locator that will locate the
break in the Boundary Wire.
break in the Boundary Wire.
Option 2: Follow the procedure below:
1. Unplug the Fence Transmitter.
2. Connect both ends of your twisted Boundary Wire to one Boundary Wire Terminal.
3. Measure and cut a Test Wire which is half the length of your total Boundary Wire footage.
4. Connect one end of Test Wire to the other Boundary Wire Terminal.
5. Locate the halfway point of your boundary and cut the Boundary Wire.
6. Splice the other end of the Test Wire to either side of your Boundary Wire where you cut

5. Locate the halfway point of your boundary and cut the Boundary Wire.
6. Splice the other end of the Test Wire to either side of your Boundary Wire where you cut
it in half.
7. Plug in the Fence Transmitter and check the Loop Indicator Light. If the Loop Indicator
Light is on, you can assume the break is in the other half of the Boundary Wire.
8. If the Loop Indicator Light did not come on, you may assume there is a break in this
portion of the Boundary Wire. However, there is a small chance of having more than one
break in your system. Be sure to check both halves of your entire loop.
