Test the Barrier Area
For proper operation, the Receiver Collar maximum operating height is 36 inches from the
Threshold Transmitter.
If you have more than 1 pet, set up the Threshold Pet Barrier for your tallest pet.
Place the Threshold Transmitter in the desired location. If planning to mount on a stair, lean
it up against the back of the stair and test for proper operation before mounting. If using
on stairs, set the system so that the Receiver Collar starts activating while your pet is still
on the floor and not on the stairs.
1. Keeping your hands away from the Contact Points, use the edge of the Test Light Tool to
turn the receiver battery door to the ON position.
2. Hold the Receiver Collar with the Contact Points facing up. Place the Test Light Tool on the
Contact Points so that the wire in the Test Light Tool touches the Contact Points (3A). The
PetSafe
®
logo on the Receiver Collar should face the Transmitter.

3. Hold the Receiver Collar at the approximate height of your pet’s neck (3B). Start outside of the range and walk slowly toward the Threshold
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.
4. Check the range of the Barrier Area from multiple angles to ensure you are getting the desired coverage. If the setting is too low, increase by 1
level and test. If the coverage area is too great and the collar is activating in areas you don’t want, decrease the level so it activates reliably at the
height of your dog’s neck. Refer to the Transmitter Range Chart as a guide.
