how do you hook up the unit

It's easy. I put a perimeter wire around my shed to keep groundhogs from tunneling under. I attached the unit to an outside wall then ran a wire around the shed using insulators, sold separately, then attached the negative wire to a two foot piece of rebar hammered into the ground next to the unit. The instructions that come with the unit are good. So far it's working, no groundhogs are bothering my shed.

As mentioned by others, drive in a ground rod and hook it to the negative terminal. We used a length of 1/2" hard copper tubing as the ground rod and used a commercial ground clamp to hook the wire to. Our ground rod is only driven in to a depth of 12" in clay soil and works fine. We anchor the positive wire to raised vegetable beds with plastic insulators purchased at a feed store. We have watched groundhogs do backflips when the wire was touched. Caution: Any leaves touched by the wire will be fried and continued contact will tend to shorten battery life. Also, be sure the light blinks when the unit is turned on.

I hung mine on a fence post then strung a top and bottom hot wire around the fence and connected it to the positive terminal on the charger. Then I drove the grounding into the ground and connected it to the negative post on the charger with another a piece of wire. The charger uses two d cell batteries and they last around 6 weeks for me.

We used it to keep squirrels out of our veggie garden. We built a metal mesh fence around the garden and attached it to the fence post. Then we bought plastic fastener to attach to the metal fence to hold the wire. We got these at the farming supply store. The ends of the wire attach to a post on the bottom of the unit. Then we attached the other end to another post and ran the extension of that piece to a ground post that we bought and installed. Hope it helps. It really kept the squirrels out of the garden without killing them Really freaked a few out though. Don't touch it with wet hands! We used it to keep squirrels out of our veggie garden.

get some cheap fiberglass rods and 17 gauge wire and run your fenceline. Put a metal rod into the ground about 1.5 feet deep-depth depends on moisture level in the ground. Then run your grounding wire to that rod and another wire to your "hot" fence. put the batteries in and you're set. Took me about 20 minutes to fence in a 60 foot X 20 foot garden. Been running on the same batteries all summer so far.

Did you not receive instructions? It is simple. 1) drive a metal ground rod into the dirt next to where you will mount the unit. 2) then run a single wire on wood stakes around the protected area. 3) tie the single wire to the positive side of the unit. 4) tie the ground rod to the negative side of the unit. 5) Turn it on. Test by standing in bare feet on the ground and grab the hot wire. If you don't holler, it's not working.

I hammered in a ground spike about 6ft long and attached the ground to the spike. Depending on your soil you may need a longer spike. Then I attached the insulators I bought with it to wooden poles and ran the wire around my garden and attached it to the positive lead. It's important to make sure there is no vegetation touching the wire.

The enclosed instructions were pretty clear however there are two options: #1. One wire goes to a ground rod with only one wire exposed for contact. #2 Run two separate wires (neither of which touches ground) spaced at least 3/8" apart, otherwise arcing can occur. Wire(s) must be attached to a non-conductive support.

It goes to a signal booster. Your new head unit should have a blue wire or a blue white wire. You need to hook it up

Make sure wires are hooked up correctly and nothing is exposed to ground out. The unit itself is very simple to run when hooked up correct

I wouldn't buy this unit. I can't get it to work no matter how I hook it up.

You need to buy the adapter Kidde KA-F, there is a two pack that seems to be cheaper than buying the adapter separately. Otherwise, just rewire the unit base.(It isn't hard, just one more step).

Obviously the unit needs to be powered for it to be function. The top left "input" on the unit is for 12v in. The wall power adapter that comes with the unit needs to be plugged in, coax from that right into that port is how you accomplish that. I hope that answers your question.

You use one of the power connectors on your power supply. that should be noted in the installation sheet

Viviane, this model comes with a junction box and cord that will run from the unit to your electrical wiring. The only thing you might need is more electrical line if the junction box is unable to reach your wiring connection.

Use your original cable to connect. The other plug is for charging the unit in the wall connector.

I didn't have any trouble hooking it up. Sorry I don't have a more specific answer to your question.

We just plug it into a regular outlet in the garage. And my husband loves his unit.

just plug it in and its up and running. Mine didn't last a month and quit working. I haven't replaced it.

Use the adapter that comes with it and plug it into a wall outlet OR plug it into the back of your reciever if it comes with an outlet built in.

use the black adapter/wall plug this goes into the front if the unit then leave overnight until indicator turns green

It comes with everything you'll need to hook it up. I'd suggest downloading the manual from the website.

I hook it up through the headphone jack on the ipod. Use the cord with the small computer end into the speaker and the skinny headphone jack into the ipod's headphone input.

Turn unit on. Once the unit is on, push the up arrow beside"z" and the top right button at the same time. The light will come on.
