How the System Works The PetSafe® Pawz Away® Mini Pet Barrier keeps your pet away from a certain room, away from trash, off of furniture, etc. Just place the Barrier Transmitter near the area your pet should avoid. The Mini Pet Barrier transmits an elliptical radio signal adjustable up to 5 feet. Your pet wears a Receiver Collar with Contact Points that touch his neck.
Key Definitions Barrier Transmitter: Transmits the wireless radio signal. Barrier Area: Area that you want to prevent your pet from gaining access to. Contact Points: Deliver the safe Progressive Static Correction when your pet enters the Barrier Area. Progressive Static Correction: Static Correction begins at the lowest level and automatically increases to maximum within 3 seconds of first detection in the Barrier Area.
Operating Guide Step Install the Barrier Transmitter 1 The Barrier Transmitter emits a radio signal from all sides in an elliptical pattern. The signal may transmit through a wall or the ceiling/floor. The Barrier Transmitter can be placed laying flat on a surface or hung on a wall. If you choose to hang the Barrier Transmitter, note that the signal becomes very directional—the signal will be strongest directly in front of and behind the unit. The signal is weakest to the side of the unit.
Step Set Up the Barrier Transmitter 2 To prevent an unintended correction, never perform set-up procedures while your pet is wearing the Receiver Collar. 1. 2. 3. 10 Turn over the Barrier Transmitter and rotate 2A back cover counter-clockwise, removing the back cover. Install three AAA alkaline batteries and replace the back cover. Turn clockwise to secure cover. Turn the Barrier Transmitter right side up and press the (+) button once to turn ON the Barrier Transmitter.
*All Mini Pet Barriers and Receiver Collars are preset to mode A. The A and B mode feature is designed to be used in multiple pet households where you may want one pet to be able to access an area while preventing access by another pet. For single pet households, you will not need to operate the Barrier Transmitter in any mode other than A. Please see the Additional Features section of this operating and training guide (beginning on page 13) for instructions on how to utilize mode A and B.
3. 4. Hold the Receiver Collar at the 3B approximate height of your pet’s neck (3B). Start outside of the range and walk slowly toward the Barrier Transmitter. As you reach the Barrier Area, the Receiver Collar emits a series of high-pitched tones. For each tone you hear, you should notice the Test Light flashing which indicates that a Progressive Static Correction is being delivered. The Receiver Collar’s tone is easily heard by pets but may be at a volume level difficult for some humans to hear.
Step Mode Features 4 Mode A, B, and AB Feature For multiple pet households, additional PetSafe® Pawz Away® Receiver Collars can be purchased to work with one or more PetSafe® Pawz Away® Barrier Transmitters. You can set up an unlimited number of Barrier Transmitters in your home and an unlimited number of Receiver Collars can be used with one or more Barrier Transmitters. If you have multiple pets, you may want to allow one pet access to an area while denying access to another pet.
When the Barrier Transmitter and Receiver Collar are set to mode A, the Barrier Transmitter denies access to pets wearing a Receiver Collar programmed to mode A. Receiver Collars set to mode B will not pick up the signal from a Barrier Transmitter set to mode A. When the Barrier Transmitter and Receiver Collar are set to mode B, the Barrier Transmitter denies access to pets wearing a Receiver Collar programmed to mode B.
Time Out Feature For your pet’s safety, the Receiver Collar has a built in Time Out feature. If your pet stays in the Barrier Area for longer than 15 seconds the Receiver Collar will stop delivering the Progressive Static Correction. The Receiver Collar will then administer a random single Static Correction every 5 to 10 seconds at the maximum level until the pet leaves the Barrier Area.
To prevent an unintended correction, do not perform set up procedures while the Receiver Collar is on your pet. 1. 2. 3. Gather the Receiver Collar(s) you wish to synchronize with the Barrier Transmitter. Turn the Receiver Collar(s) ON and place less than one foot from the Barrier Transmitter. Turn the Barrier Transmitter OFF by pressing the (-) button until there are no bars displayed in the LCD window. Remove the back cover. The mode switch is located inside the transmitter and is preset to mode A.
4. 5. To program the Receiver Collar to either mode A or mode B, press and hold the (-) button and then press the (+) button for approximately 5 seconds. Programming is complete when you hear a series of three beeps from the Receiver Collar. If the YardMax® Rechargeable Receiver Collar does not respond, wake it up from sleep mode by rotating or shaking the Receiver Collar and program within 20 seconds. Once the Receiver Collar has been programmed, press the (+) button to turn the Barrier Transmitter ON.
Training Guide The PetSafe® Pawz Away® Mini Pet Barrier operates on the principle of positive and negative reinforcement. Your pet will learn to avoid the Barrier Areas you have set after receiving a Progressive Static Correction (negative reinforcement) and your pet will learn that he is more comfortable when he avoids the Barrier Areas (positive reinforcement). In some cases, it may not be necessary to train your pet. You can let your pet wander freely to determine the new boundaries.
Further Training If your pet is confused or unsure how to avoid the Barrier Areas then you may need to teach your pet how to do so by following these easy training steps: 1. Place a second non metallic collar on your pet ABOVE the Receiver Collar and attach a long leash. Be sure the extra collar does not put pressure on the Contact Points of the Receiver Collar. 2. 3. 4. Walk your pet toward the Barrier Area.
Troubleshooting Barrier Transmitter • Check segment indicator on Barrier Transmitter. does not appear • Check/replace batteries in Barrier Transmitter. to work. • Increase the Barrier Area range on the Barrier Transmitter. • Check that the Barrier Transmitter setting corresponds to the Receiver Collar setting. (i.e. Barrier Transmitter is set to mode A and Receiver Collar is synchronized to pick up mode A)—refer to Additional Features section beginning on page 13 for instructions.
