Slowly walk toward the boundary in several different areas while holding the collar at waist height.
- Tone Only - Listen for the tone on the collar when crossing the boundary.
- Vibration - Feel for the vibration when crossing the boundary.
- Static - Hold the Test Light Tool to the Contact Points on the collar. Watch for the amber light in the center of the Test Light Tool when crossing the boundary.
