Instructions

observe the signal strength readings on the locator (don’t stand in the

window holding the locator, that is not the same!) When the signal level

drops to consistently below 60%, that is the Near boundary, below 40%

is the Med boundary, below 20% is the Far boundary and when the pet

is so far away from the locator that you see “No Signal” on the display

that is the Max boundary. Choose and program the setting that is best

for your situation.

7. Verify the alarm activation in Monitor mode. Now that you have

established where the boundary is, place the locator into monitor mode

with the pet beyond the boundary. Within 80 seconds the alarm will

sound on the locator. If the alarm is not loud enough for your needs or if

you wish to receive notifications when you are away from home, there

are two accessories available that you can add to your Marco Polo

system. One is a very loud external alarm and the other is a phone dialer

that will call up to 4 phone numbers using a land-line connection (the

dialed numbers may be cell phones) and deliver a voice message. You

can see these products at www.eurekaproducts.com, go to

Shop/Accessories.

8. Adjust as necessary for false alarms. If false alarms occur, try to take

note of where the pet is at the time. It may be possible to move the

locator to produce a higher signal from that portion of the house or yard

that is causing the problem. If that doesn’t work then you may need to

bump up to the next higher boundary setting.

9. Be realistic. Marco Polo isn’t intended to be a containment system, such

as a buried-wire fence system. It is designed to give prompt notification

that a pet has left the area you want them to be within. In most cases

when a pet escapes its safe area it is moving pretty fast. The time

required for your pet to move from a boundary line that is right at your

property line to one that is 40 feet beyond the property line is probably

only a few seconds. Very likely, the alarm on the locator will sound at

exactly the same 40-second interval check with either boundary.
