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
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
shall 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.

Proper fit of the collar is important. A collar worn for too long or made too tight on the pet’s neck
may cause skin damage. Ranging from redness to pressure ulcers; this condition is commonly
known as bed sores.
• - Avoid leaving the collar on the pet for more than 12 hours per day.
• - When possible reposition the collar on the pet’s neck every 1 to 2 hours.
• - 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 pet’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.
• - If the condition persists beyond 48 hours, see your veterinarian.
• - For additional information on bed sores and pressure necrosis, please visit our website.
These steps will help keep your pet safe and comfortable. Millions of pets are comfortable while
they wear stainless steel contacts. Some pets are sensitive to contact pressure. You may find
after some time that your pet is very tolerant of the collar. If so, you may relax some of these
precautions. It is important to continue daily checks of the contact area. If redness or sores are
found, discontinue use until the skin has fully healed.
You may need to trim the hair in the area of the Contact Points. Never shave the pet’s neck; this
may lead to a rash or infection.
To prevent an unintended correction, do not perform set up procedures while the Receiver Collar
is on your pet.
If you are using a collar and leash for training, be sure the extra collar does not put pressure on
the Contact Points of the Receiver Collar.

How the System Works
The PetSafe® Pawz Away® Pet Barrier keeps your pet away from a certain room, away from
trash, off of furniture, etc. Just place the Barrier Transmitter (not included) near the area your
pet should avoid. The Barrier Transmitter sends a spherical or elliptical radio signal, depending
upon which Barrier Transmitter is used. 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
for pets at least 6 months old and over 5 pounds.
