How the Pawz Away™ Outdoor Pet Barrier Works

The Barrier Transmitter, disguised as a rock in your landscape, sends a spherical radio signal up to
16 feet in diameter or an 8 foot radius. 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. It is designed to startle, not to punish. The progressive Static Correction will
get your pet’s attention, but will not cause harm. The correction continues until your pet leaves
the Barrier Area. The system has been proven safe, comfortable and effective for pets at least 6
months old and over 5 pounds.

You also have the option to create a custom shaped barrier using Boundary Wire. Create a barrier
loop up to 150 feet.

Warning: This is a deterrence system designed to keep pets away from areas in your
landscape you want to protect. THIS IS NOT A CONTAINMENT SYSTEM. Do not use
this system to keep your pet contained in your yard. The static correction is not intended
to keep your pet contained.

Under normal conditions, the batteries will operate the transmitter for up to one year. Test
the system every few months to ensure it is working properly.

Step

Set Up the Barrier Transmitter

Important: Never perform set-up procedures while your pet is wearing the
Receiver Collar.

Turn the Barrier Transmitter upright and open the lid 1.
exposing the LCD display and range buttons.
Press the up (+) button once to turn ON the Barrier 2.
Transmitter. A black segment in the bottom of the
LCD display indicates the unit is set to the lowest
range (1A).
Each segment represents approximately two feet of 3.
diameter. You can create a Barrier Area up to 16 feet
in diameter. Using the up (+) and down (-) buttons,
adjust the range to fi t the desired pet Barrier Area.

Step

Test the Barrier Area

Place the Test Light Tool that came with your system on 1.
the Receiver Collar Contact Points. Hold the Receiver
Collar at the approximate height of your dog’s neck and
with the Contact Points facing up (2A). 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 y ou hear, you
should notice the Test Light fl ashing which indicates that
a progressive Static Correction is being delivered. The
Receiver Collar’s tone is easily heard by dogs but may be
at a volume level diffi cult for some humans to hear.
Check the range of the Barrier Area from multiple angles 2.
to ensure you are getting the desired coverage.

If you place the Barrier Transmitter close to your house,
the signal may transmit through a wall. Be sure to test
the receiver collar inside your home.

Important: Should you fi nd that you are not getting the desired range at the
maximum setting, move the Barrier Transmitter a few feet. A variety of factors
can affect the magnetic fi eld. For best results, place the Barrier Transmitter on a
non-conductive surface, i.e., lawn or landscape bed. Metal objects may distort
the Barrier Area size.

Do not:

Place Barrier Transmitter on metal surfaces.•
Place Barrier Transmitter near large metal objects such as heating and air •
conditioning units, metal outbuildings, metal trash cans, etc.
Place the Barrier Transmitter in a location where it may become submerged in •
water. The transmitter is designed to be water resistant and is not waterproof.
For the longest battery life, avoid exposing the transmitter to extreme •
temperatures for any extended time.
