How the System Works
A radio signal travels from the Fence Transmitter through a buried wire, marking the boundaries you wish to set for your dog. 
Your dog wears a Receiver Collar that detects the signal at the boundary. As your dog approaches the boundary, the receiver 
issues a warning tone and vibrates. If he proceeds further, he receives a safe but startling Static Correction. While harmless, 
the correction will persuade him to stay in the containment area you’ve established. Boundary flags are a temporary visual 
aid for your pet; remove them after training. This PetSafe
®
 Stubborn Dog In-Ground Fence
™
 System has been proven safe, 
comfortable, and effective for pets over 8 pounds.

Warning Zone: Outer edge of the Pet Area where your pet’s Receiver Collar begins to 
beep and vibrates for 2 seconds, warning him not to go into the Static Correction Zone.
Static Correction Zone: Zone beyond the Warning Zone where your pet’s Receiver 
Collar will emit a Static Correction, signaling him to return to the Pet Area.
Boundary Width: Combination of the Warning Zone and the Static Correction Zone.
Surge Protector: Installed with the Fence Transmitter to protect it from lightning 
strikes and power surges (USA and Canada only).
Receiver Collar: Receives the radio signal from the Boundary Wire.
Correction Level Button: Adjusts the level of Static Correction your pet receives in 
the Static Correction Zone.
Receiver Indicator Light: Indicates the level of correction at which the Receiver 
Collar is set. This light also serves as a low battery indicator.

Power Jack: Where the Power Adapter plugs into the Fence Transmitter.
Boundary Control Switch: Switch located on the 
Fence Transmitter to adjust according to the length of 
Boundary Wire used.
