How to Set Up Your Outdoor Bark Control
Install Battery
Remove the battery door on the back of the birdhouse.
Connect a new 9-volt alkaline battery to the battery terminal and insert into the compartment.
Replace the battery door.
Test
Follow the instructions to test that the birdhouse is powered on and working properly.
Enable test mode by turning the knob to T.
Hold the birdhouse at arms length, so that the front is visible. Make a loud noise and watch for the light to flash red and listen for a beep to confirm the sound was detected.
Placement
To ensure there is no signal interference, make sure that the birdhouse is:
Facing the area the barking occurs
No more than 5 feet off the ground
Not near any large obstacles
Place the birdhouse in the desired location. It can be hung, mounted, or placed on a flat surface.
Select Range
Set the birdhouse to the correct mode to ensure your dog hears the ultrasonic tone. When determining the mode, look for recognition signs from your dog, such as looking around or ear movement.
Start with the knob set to 1. Observe your dog to see if he responds to the ultrasonic tone when barking.
Increase to the next modes if he does not respond.
If your dog does not respond to mode 3, test to confirm the birdhouse is working. If it is working, try setting the birdhouse closer to the ground.
If the unit powers on, and your dog is not responding, ultrasonic bark stimulation may not be the appropriate solution for your dog. Contact our Customer Care for further assistance with bark control solutions.
