Havahart®Radial-Shape 2 Wireless Dog Fence
1-800-800-1819, Option 1
Congratulations and thank you for choosing the next generation Radial-Shape 2 Wireless Dog
Fence from Havahart® Wireless- the leading innovator of digital wireless fence solutions.
Featuring breakthrough patent pending technology, the new Radial-Shape 2 Wireless Dog
Fence is designed to provide maximum freedom and safety for your dog and peace of mind for
you with minimal effort, investment and impact on your property. It is the industry’s most-
advanced, circular wireless dog containment system that offers a Roaming Area that can extend
from a 40-ft to a 400-ft radius with the touch of a button.
The next-generation of Radial-Shape 2 Wireless Fencing Technology improves digital
communication through precision tuning between the system Controller and the Collar.
This enhanced communication provides a more universal signal delivery and response.
Enhancements have also been made to the Collar including a new battery cap design that is
flush with the battery housing, providing a more secure fit. The improved strap is made of
heavy-gauge nylon webbing with a ® snap buckle closure. The collar size is 14” to 26”. For our
small dog Radial-Shape 2 owners the collar size is 10” to 17” and features a durable rubber collar
and stainless steel buckle closure.
There are no wires to bury and no digging required- just a fast and easy-set up that creates
even more freedom for your dog to roam!
AVERAGE SYSTEM SETUP TIME IS 1 HOUR
Before getting started, it is important that you understand the image below.
Position the Controller inside the home, on an outer wall, near the center of the
desired Roaming Area (see Sample Layouts).
Place the Controller near a standard 120V AC power outlet.
Position the Controller at least 3 feet away from large metal objects, mirrors or major
appliances. These items may reduce the size and shape of the Roaming Area.
Mount the Controller using the wall-mount adhesive strips or a screw & wall anchor
approximately 6 feet off the ground or at eye level (see Instruction Manual for details).
Plug in the Controller.
Press Enter.

IMPORTANT MESSAGE
TRIGGER ZONE SHAPE: It is normal that your Trigger Zone MAY NOT FORM A PERFECT CIRCLE and
the actual distance from the Trigger Zone to the Controller may be less than the set radius. A reduced
fence radius may be the result of Factors Affecting Signal Strength (see Instruction Manual for details).
Large metal objects such as a car or refrigerator can slightly distort the roundness of your fence
boundary. However, once set, the Trigger Zone location will remain consistent over time.

Test the Trigger Zone & Place Training Flags:
Make sure the Collar is set to Tone Only during
set up.
Extend your arm down by your side and hold the Collar
by the Battery Housing so the Collar Light can be seen
(see Figure 2).
Walk toward the boundary while gently shaking the
Collar until the Collar beeps and the Collar Light
flashes red.
To confirm the boundary location, step back until the
Collar stops beeping and then walk forward until the
Collar beeps and the Collar Light flashes red again.
Place a flag at the boundary (see Illustration B).
Continue the process by walking 6 feet to the right of
the previous flag until the entire containment area
is surrounded (see Illustration C).
Flags should be placed about 6 feet apart.
Adjust the fence radius distance on the Controller if
needed.
NOTE: Do not let your body get between the Collar and
the Controller when setting and testing your fence
boundary as it may affect the signal and cause the
boundary to shift inward (see Factors Affecting Signal
Strength in the Instruction Manual).

need 90 flags to enclose your Roaming Area.

Be sure the fence is turned off at the Controller (see Turning the Trigger Zone Off/On
in the Instruction Manual).
With your dog standing comfortably, position the Collar high on your dog’s neck,
underneath the chin with the Probes facing upward and centered on your dog’s neck. The
Havahart®logo should be right side up when you look at your dog.
Make sure the Probes maintain contact with skin.
- Collar is factory installed with long Probes for thick or long-haired breeds.
- Short Probes for short-haired dogs are included.
- To change the Probes, simply unscrew the long Probes and replace them.
Finger-tighten the Probes. Do not over tighten.
Adjust the Collar to fit snugly but not tightly. You should be able to slide the tip of one
finger between your dog’s coat and one of the Probes on the Collar. The tip of your finger
should not be able to slip between the two probes easily, but with some effort. It should
be a tight squeeze (see Illustration D). Separately, you should be able to slide one finger
between the strap of the Collar and the back of your dog’s neck.
NOTE: If your dog is going to continue to grow or grows a long winter coat, leave extra room
before trimming off the excess.
Once the Collar is adjusted to the correct length, remove the Collar and trim the excess
using scissors (see Illustration E).
