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.

NOTICE is used to address safe use practices not related to personal injury.

Not for use with aggressive dogs. Do not use this product if your dog is prone to aggressive behavior. Aggressive dogs can cause severe injury or death to their owners and others. If you are not sure that this product is right for your dog, please talk to your veterinarian or a certiﬁed trainer. This System is NOT a solid barrier. The system is designed to act as a deterrent, using Static Correction to condition pets to remain outside of the established barrier area. 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 outside of the established barrier area. Not all pets can be trained to avoid entering the barrier area. Therefore, if you have reason to believe that your pet may harm himself or pose a danger to others if he is not kept from entering the barrier area, you should NOT rely solely upon this system to restrict your pet. Radio Systems NOT be liable for any personal injuries, property damage, injury to or death of your pet, economic loss or any consequential damages sustained as a result of any animal entering the barrier area.

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. When your pet enters the Barrier Area, he’ll hear a series of audible tones from the Receiver Collar and he will feel a safe Progressive Static Correction, delivered through the Contact Points on his neck. The Progressive Static Correction will get his attention, but will not cause harm. The correction continues until your pet leaves the Barrier Area. The PetSafe safe, comfortable, and effective for pets at least 6 months old and 5 pounds or more.

Install the Barrier Transmitter

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.

Do not:

• Hang unit on a metal wall

• Place Barrier Transmitter on metal surfaces

• Place Barrier Transmitter near large metal objects such as refrigerators, washers, etc.

• Place Barrier Transmitter near audio speakers
