How To Mount My PetSafe® Guardian® GPS Connected Customizable Fence Base
When mounting the Guardian® GPS Connected Customizable Fence base unit, in addition to the base unit, mounting bracket, and included hardware, you will also need a pencil, a drill, a 1/16-inch drill bit, a screwdriver, a level and a stud finder. To use the wall anchors, a ¼ inch drill bit would be required.
Do not mount your base unit until you have set up and tested your fence.
Verify that the base unit is in an appropriate location.
- Indoors, in a climate-controlled environment.
- At least five feet from the floor.
- Ground level of the home.
- Near an electrical outlet.
Slide the mounting bracket up and off the back of the base unit.
Place the mounting bracket on the wall of the selected location and level the bracket. The flat side of the bracket should be facing you.
Mark the screw hole locations with a pencil.
Use the stud finder to confirm whether the location is on a stud or not.
- If the screw location is on a stud, the wall anchors are not needed.
- If the screw location is not on a stud, you will need to use the wall anchors provided
Use the appropriate drill bit to drill a pilot hole at the marked location.
- If your screw holes are not on a stud, insert the wall anchors into the pilot holes.
Line up the bracket screw holes with the pilot holes and screw the bracket to the wall.
Slide the base unit onto the mounted bracket.
