Important Safety Information Explanation of Attention Words and Symbols used in this guide This is the safety alert symbol. It is used to alert you to potential personal injury hazards. Obey all safety messages that follow this symbol to avoid possible injury or death. WARNING indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in death or serious injury. CAUTION, used without the safety alert symbol, indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in harm to your pet.
This PetSafe® In-Ground Fence™ is not a solid barrier. This system is designed to act as a deterrent to remind pets by Static Correction to remain in the boundary established. It is important that you reinforce training with your pet on a regular basis. Proper fit of the collar is important. A collar worn for too long or made too tight on the pet’s neck may cause skin damage. Ranging from redness to pressure ulcers; this condition is commonly known as bed sores.
• If a rash or sore is found, discontinue use of the collar until the skin has healed. • If the condition persists beyond 48 hours, see your veterinarian. • For additional information on bed sores and pressure necrosis, please visit our website. These steps will help keep your pet safe and comfortable. Millions of pets are comfortable while they wear stainless steel contacts. Some pets are sensitive to contact pressure. You may find after some time that your pet is very tolerant of the collar.
• The Boundary Width of the system must be tested whenever an adjustment is made to the containment field to prevent unintended corrections to your pet. • If you use a collar and leash for training, be sure the extra collar does not put pressure on the contact points. • Always remove your dog’s Receiver Collar before performing any Transmitter testing. • If possible, DO NOT use an AC circuit protected with a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) or Residual Current Device (RCD).

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. 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.
Operating Guide Prepare the Receiver Collar Your Receiver Collar comes with short Contact Points. Long Contact Points for pets with long or thick hair are available through our Customer Care Center. Tighten the Contact Points using Test Light Tool (A) one-half turn beyond finger tight. Check the tightness weekly. To Insert and Remove the Battery Note: Do not install the battery while the Receiver Collar is on your pet. This Receiver Collar utilizes a replaceable PetSafe® battery (RFA-67).
Use the edge of the Test Light Tool to turn the battery clockwise until the arrow lines up with the lock symbol on the housing. To remove the battery, turn the battery counter-clockwise using the edge of the Test Light Tool (C). DO NOT attempt to cut into or pry open the battery. Be sure to discard the used battery properly. Battery life will vary depending on how often your pet tests the system and receives a Static Correction.
To Set the Static Correction Level Read all steps before attempting to set the Static Correction Level. 1. Remove the clear plastic cover with the Test Light D Tool to expose the Correction Level Button (D). 2. With the battery installed, press the Correction Level Button and release when the Receiver Indicator Light lights up (E). 3. The Receiver Indicator Light will emit a series of flashes representing the Static Correction Level. 4.
The Receiver Collar is equipped to automatically increase the level of Static Correction the longer your pet remains in the Static Correction Zone if the collar is set at level 2 or above. The Receiver LED Indicator Light acts as a low battery indicator, flashing every 4 to 5 seconds when replacement is required. Over Correction Protection In the unlikely event that your pet “freezes” in the Static Correction Zone, this feature limits the static correction duration to a maximum of 30 seconds.

Fit the Receiver Collar Important: The proper fit and placement of your Receiver Collar is important for effective training. The Contact Points must have direct contact with your pet’s skin on the underside of his neck. See important safety information on pages 3-5. To assure a proper fit, please follow these steps: 1. Make sure that the battery is not installed in the Receiver Collar. 2. Start with your pet standing comfortably (F). 3.
4. The Receiver Collar should fit G snugly, yet loose enough to allow one finger to fit between a contact point and your pet’s neck (G). Allow your pet to wear the collar for several minutes then recheck the fit. Check the fit again as your pet becomes more comfortable with the Receiver H Collar. 5. Once you are satisfied with the fit of the Receiver Collar then you may trim any excess collar strap as follows (H): a. Mark the desired length of the Receiver Collar with a pen.
To Re-Thread the Collar Slide Buckle Ridges The slide buckle prevents the collar from becoming loose around your pet’s neck. The ridges must be facing up; the collar will slip if it is not properly threaded. www.petsafe.
Taking Your Pet Out of the Pet Area Important: Remove the Receiver Collar and leave it in the Pet Area. Once your pet learns the Boundary Zone, he will be reluctant to cross it for walks or car rides. Option 1: Replace the Receiver Collar with a regular collar. Put your pet in a car that is within the Pet Area and drive him out of the Pet Area. Option 2: Replace the Receiver Collar with a regular collar and leash.
Please refer to your PetSafe® In-Ground Fence™ Operating and Training Guide for a complete list of Troubleshooting or visit www.petsafe.net. Troubleshooting Receiver Collar is not beeping or correcting. • Check battery to make sure it is installed properly. • Check that both lights are lit on the Fence Transmitter. Refer to In-Ground Fence™ Operating and Training Guide. The Receiver Collar is beeping, but the pet is not responding to the Static Correction.
The Receiver Collar has to be held on top of the Boundary Wire to activate. • Replace battery. • Adjust Boundary Width Control knob clockwise to increase the distance from the Boundary Wire that the Receiver Collar activates. Verify the Boundary Control Switch is placed at the proper setting according to the amount of Boundary Wire used. • If the Receiver Collar still has to be held on top of the Boundary Wire, refer to In-Ground Fence™ Operating and Training Guide.
Additional Information • The system should only be used with healthy pets. Contact your veterinarian if you have concerns about the medical condition of your pet (medication, pregnant, heart conditions, etc.). • The PetSafe® In-Ground Fence™ is for residential use only. • The Static Correction will get your pet’s attention, but will not cause harm. It is designed to startle, not to punish. • Test the Receiver Collar at least once a month to verify that it is functioning properly.
Test Light Instructions 1. Make sure the Receiver Collar battery is properly installed. Set the Correction Level to 2 or above. 2. Hold the Test Light Contacts to the Contact Points (I). 3. Walk toward the Boundary Wire with Contact Points pointing up and holding the Receiver Collar at your pet’s neck level (J) until the Receiver Collar tones and the Test Light flashes (K).
Note: The Receiver Collar is waterproof, which can make the tone hard to hear. Save Test Light for future testing. Note: If the Test Light does not flash, install a new battery and re-test. If Test Light still does not flash, contact the Customer Care Center at 1-800-732-2677. www.petsafe.
