How the System Works
The PetSafe® 250 m Remote Trainer has been proven safe, comfortable, and effective for all pets
greater than 3.6 kg and at least 6 months old. This system assists you in controlling your pet
without a lead in a range up to 250 metres. At the push of a button, the Remote Transmitter sends
a signal, activating the Receiver Collar. Using the Remote Trainer consistently and correctly, many
misbehaviours that your pet exhibits can be corrected or any basic obedience commands can be
taught. PetSafe® Remote Trainers should not be used by persons under 16 years of age.
Important: The Remote Trainer has a range of up to 250 metres.
Depending on the way you hold the Remote Transmitter, the maximum
range may vary. For consistent results at longer ranges, hold the Remote
Transmitter in a vertical position away from your body and above your head.
Terrain, weather, vegetation, transmission from other radio devices, and
other factors will affect the maximum range.

Key Defi nitions
Remote Transmitter: Transmits the radio signal to the Receiver Collar. It is waterproof.
Transmitter Indicator Light: Indicates that a button is pressed and also serves as a
low-battery indicator.
Green LED: Indicates when tone is being delivered.
Red LED: Indicates when stimulation is being delivered and serves as a low battery indicator.
Intensity Dial: Provides multiple levels of Stimulation so you can match the correction to your
pet’s temperament.
Upper Button: This button is factory-set to deliver Tone for 1 second then Continuous Stimulation set by
the Intensity Dial.
Lower Button: This button is factory-set to deliver Tone for 1 second then Continuous Stimulation two
levels higher than Intensity Dial setting. Note: This button will not deliver Stimulation higher than level 8. For
example, if the Intensity Dial is set to 8, pushing the Lower Button will not deliver a higher level of Stimulation.
Side Button: This button is factory-set to deliver an Audible Tone only.
Receiver Collar: Receives the radio signal from the Remote Transmitter. It is waterproof.
On/Off Button: Momentarily pressing and holding this button turns the Receiver Collar on and off.
Contact Points: The contacts through which the Receiver Collar delivers Stimulation.
Receiver Indicator Light: Indicates when the Receiver Collar has been turned on or off and also serves
as a low-battery indicator.
Green LED: Indicates when tone is being delivered and serves as a good battery indicator.
Red LED: Indicates when stimulation is being delivered and serves as a low battery indicator.
Charging Jacks:
For connecting the charger. Although the Remote Transmitter and Receiver Collar are
waterproof without the charger covers, keep the covers in place when not charging to keep debris out of
the openings.
Continuous Stimulation: You control when and how long Stimulation is delivered to your dog through
the Receiver Collar’s Contact Points. When a Continuous Stimulation button is pressed for 8 seconds
or more, the Remote Transmitter will “time-out.” The button will need to be released and pressed again
before additional Stimulation can be delivered.
Audible Tone: Use an Audible Tone with a Stimulation to stop unwanted behaviours. Timing is critical.
The Audible Tone followed by the Stimulation should occur during or immediately after the unwanted
behaviour. Once your dog associates the Audible Tone with the Stimulation, you will only need to use the
Audible Tone.
