MB-1 Wireless FAQs

What is the light on the transmitter?
The status light on the transmitter lets you know if the transmitter is turned on. On the MB-1, the status light also lets you know the status of the transmitter battery. If the light is red, the battery needs to be charged. See the Owner’s Guide for additional information.
Note: The green light may be steady green or blinking green. This depends on the frequency setting of the transmitter.
How do I increase and decrease the signal range (the distance the signal radiates from the transmitter or the boundary wire) to make the “off-limits” avoidance zone area larger or smaller?
On the back of the transmitter, there is a signal range knob.
1. Turn the knob toward the ‘+’ or ‘Max’ to increase the signal range. This increases the size of the signal field.
2. Turn the knob toward the ‘-’ or “Min’ to decrease the signal range. This decreases the size of the signal field.

The MB-1 has a rechargeable battery. How long does the battery stay charged?
Battery life is determined, in part, by the rate and the range settings you select. The rate setting determines how frequently the signal is transmitted (fast, medium or slow.) The range setting is the distance the signal radiates from the transmitter. See the Owner’s Guide for additional information.
When set at maximum range, the life of the battery charge is approximately:
1. 4 days in ‘Fast’
2. 7 days in ‘Medium’
3. 30 days in ‘Slow’
Decreasing the range setting will increase the average battery life between charges.
How large can I make the “off-limits” area?
The MB-1 can be adjusted up to a maximum of 8 feet in diameter (4 feet in all directions from the transmitter.) See the Owner’s Guide for additional information.

Important: Do not set the transmitter on or near large metal objects.
