How the System Works

The PetSafe® Deluxe In-Ground Cat Fence™ has been proven safe, comfortable, and effective for cats over 6 lbs. and at least 6 months old. The system works by producing a radio signal from the Fence Transmitter through up to 4000 ft. of Boundary Wire. The Boundary Wire is buried or attached to a ﬁ xed object to enclose the Pet Area. You temporarily deﬁ ne this Pet Area with Boundary Flags for a visual aid in training your cat. Your cat wears a Receiver Collar with Contact Points that touch his neck and, once trained, is allowed to roam freely in the Pet Area. When your cat reaches the Warning Zone, the Receiver Collar gives a warning beep. If your cat continues into the Static Correction Zone, a safe Static Correction will be delivered through the Contact Points to get his attention until he returns to the Pet Area.

Prepare the Receiver Collar

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-188). This unique battery is designed to make battery replacement easier and increase water protection.

To activate the collar, insert the battery module (A). Using the edge of the Test Light Tool as shown, turn the battery clockwise until the vertical line on the battery is pointed to the “ON” position (B). If the PetSafe Receiver Collar is not going to be used on the cat immediately, leave it in the “OFF” position.

To remove the battery, turn the battery counter-clockwise using the edge of the Test Light Tool as shown (C, D). DO NOT attempt to cut into or pry open the battery. Be sure to discard the used battery properly.

A replacement PetSafe battery can be found at many retailers. Contact the Customer Care Center at 1-800-732-2677 or visit our website at www.petsafe.net to locate a retailer near you.

Two Color LED

The two color LED indicator shows good or low battery. Good battery equals 1 ﬂ ash every 60 seconds with Green LED. Low battery equals 3 ﬂ ashes every 60 seconds with the Red LED. If there are no LED lights it is time to change the battery.

To Set the Static Correction Level

Read all steps before attempting to set the Static Correction Level.

1. With the battery installed, press the Correction Level Button and release when the Receiver Indicator Light lights red (E).

2. The Receiver Indicator Light will emit a number of red ﬂ ashes representing the Static Correction Level (F).

3. Increase the Static Correction Level by pressing and releasing the Correction Level Button within 5 seconds of the previous ﬂ ashes.

The Static Correction Levels increase from 1 to 5. Pushing the Correction Level Button while the Receiver Collar is on level 5 will cause the Receiver Collar to revert to level 1. Refer to the Function and Response Table to choose the Static Correction level that best ﬁ ts your pet. 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 Indicator Light acts as a low battery indicator, ﬂ ashing every 60 seconds when battery replacement is required.

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 cat’s skin on the underside of his neck.

To assure a proper fit, please follow these steps:

1. Make sure that the batteries are not installed in the Receiver Collar.

2. Start with your cat standing comfortably (G).

3. Center the Contact Points underneath your cat’s neck, touching the skin.

Note: It is sometimes necessary to trim the hair around the Contact Points to make sure that contact is consistent.

4. Check the tightness of the Receiver Collar by inserting one finger between the end of a Contact Point and your cat’s neck. The fit should be snug but not constricting (H).

5. Allow your cat to wear the collar for several minutes then recheck the fit. Check the fit again as your cat becomes more comfortable with the Receiver Collar.

6. Trim the collar as follows (I):

a. Mark the desired length of the

Receiver Collar with a pen. Allow for growth if your cat is young or grows a thick winter coat.

b. Remove the Receiver Collar from your

cat and cut off the excess.

c. Before placing the Receiver Collar

back onto your cat, seal the edge of the cut collar by applying a flame along the frayed edge.

Important: For comfort, safety and effectiveness of product, please ensure the following:

• During the ﬁ rst 2 weeks of training, do not use the training device on your pet

without direct supervision.

• Check the ﬁ t to prevent excessive pressure by being able to insert one ﬁ nger

between the Contact Point and your pet’s skin.

• Your pet must be carefully examined daily for any signs of a rash or sore.

• If a rash or sore is observed, discontinue the use of the Receiver Collar for a few

days.

• If the condition persists beyond 48 hours, see your veterinarian.

• Your pet’s neck and the Contact Points must be washed weekly with a wash cloth

and mild hand soap, then rinsed thoroughly.

A condition called Pressure Necrosis, which is a devitalization of the skin due to excessive and prolonged contact against the Contact Points, may occur if the steps above are not followed. www.petsafe.net 7

To Re-Thread the Collar

Slide Buckle

The slide buckle prevents the collar from becoming loose around your cat’s neck.

If you need to take your cat out of the Pet Area, remove the Receiver Collar and leave it in the Pet Area.
