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. The 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. Since the tolerance level to Static Correction varies from pet to pet, Radio Systems® Corporation CANNOT guarantee that the system will, in all cases, keep a pet within the established boundary.
- Check the fit to prevent excessive pressure; follow the instructions in this manual. - Never connect a lead to the electronic collar; it will cause excessive pressure on the contacts. - When using a separate collar for a lead, don’t put pressure on the electronic collar. - Wash the dog’s neck area and the contacts of the collar weekly with a damp cloth. - Examine the contact area daily for signs of a rash or a sore. - If a rash or sore is found, discontinue use of the collar until the skin has healed.
You may need to trim the hair in the area of the Contact Points. Never shave the dog’s neck; this may lead to a rash or infection. To prevent an unintended correction: • The Receiver Collar should not be on your dog when the system is tested. • Remove the Receiver Collar before making any changes to your system. • Before placing the Receiver Collar on your pet, test the boundary location and width after any change. • Do not charge your Receiver Collar every night. Charging too often can reduce battery life.

How the System Works A radio signal is sent by the transmitter of your UltraSmart® In-Ground Fence™ to a receiver located on your dog’s collar. The signal is transmitted through a wire which is placed along the boundaries you want to establish. The wire is an antenna that carries the signal. The receiver, attached to your dog’s collar, provides a warning beep when he approaches the wire.
Charge the Receiver Collar B Before you can begin using the Receiver Collar, you will need to charge it for 2-3 hours using the Receiver Collar Charger included with the UltraSmart® In-Ground Fence™. Additional Receiver Collar Chargers (part #IUA-005) can also be purchased from the Customer Care Center. The Receiver Collar fits on top of the charger with the Contact Points facing down through the holes (B). The Receiver Collar light will glow red when the collar is properly seated and charging.
To set the reminder, turn the switch to the OFF position, then move to either the A or B setting. After the 30 or 60 days has passed, the Fence Transmitter will sound three short reminder tones every minute. To reset the switch, turn it to the OFF position and move back to either setting A or B, or you can choose to turn the switch OFF to disable this feature. ReadyTest® Feature ReadyTest® gives you added confidence that the Receiver Collar is working and ready to use.
PerfectFit™ Test for Collar Fit This test is an added feature to verify fit but is not required for the system to function. After the ReadyTest®, the Receiver Collar will go into PerfectFit™ test mode. This mode begins with a flashing yellow light. To use this feature, you must place the Receiver Collar on your dog within 90 seconds of removing it from the Collar Charger. The Receiver Collar will emit a chime tone as the Contact Points touch your dog’s skin.

Run Through Prevention This system includes a unique “run-through” prevention so that your dog cannot escape the Pet Area without receiving an increased level of Static Correction. The Receiver Collar automatically increases the Static Correction when your dog continues more than 1⁄3 of the way through the pet fencing Field Width.
To Set the Correction Level The Static Correction Level can be set to three different levels depending on the temperament of your dog: Low, Medium, or High. The Static Correction Level is set using the Stimulation Level Switch located on the Fence Transmitter. On each of the Stimulation Level settings, the Receiver Collar will emit a 2 second Warning Tone whenever your pet enters the Warning Zone. If your pet continues into the Static Correction Zone, he will receive a Static Correction.

Check the Fit using PerfectFit™ Test To check the fit of the Receiver Collar using the PerfectFit™ test, place the collar on the Collar Charger for 5 seconds. Remove the Receiver Collar and wait approximately 8 seconds for the collar to go through the ReadyTest ®. Do not touch the Contact Points during the ReadyTest ®. Place the collar on your pet and adjust the tightness until you hear the 5 consecutive chimes, indicating a good fit.
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.
Working with PetSafe® Pawz Away® Pet Barriers Your UltraSmart® Receiver Collar also works with our Pawz Away® deterrence products to keep your pet away from areas inside or outside your home. The Pawz Away® Indoor Pet Barrier (part number ZND-1000) protects areas inside your home and can teach your pet to stay off of furniture, away from trash or out of certain rooms. The small, battery operated Indoor Barrier fits discreetly inside your home and protects a circular area up to 12 feet in diameter.
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® UltraSmart® In-Ground Fence™ is for residential use only. • The Static Correction will get your pet’s attention, but will not cause harm.
