• This PetSafe® Wireless Mapping Fence is NOT a solid barrier. The system is designed to act as a
deterrent to remind pets by Static Correction to remain in the boundary established. 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 within the established boundary. Not all pets can be trained to avoid crossing the
boundary! Therefore, if you have reason to believe that your pet may pose a danger to others or harm
himself if he is not kept from crossing the boundaries, you should NOT rely solely upon the PetSafe®
Wireless Mapping Fence to confine your pet. Radio Systems® Corporation shall NOT be liable for any
property damage, economic loss or any consequential damages, sustained as a result of any animal
crossing the boundary.
• 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 dog 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 dog’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 protected 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 dog’s neck; this may
lead to a rash or infection.
• Always remove your dog’s Receiver Collar before performing any Transmitter testing.
• Turn off power before changing Mode Selection Switch setting on Transmitter.
• The Receiver Collar should not be on your dog when the system is tested. Your pet may receive an
unintended correction.
• To prevent unintended corrections to your pet, test the system whenever making any adjustments to
the distance of your Warning Zone.
• If you use a collar and leash for training, be sure the extra collar does not put pressure on the contact
points.
• Never remove power from the system when the collar is on the pet. This may activate the Receiver
Collar.
• Radio Systems
®
Corporation recommends the use of an Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) for use
with your wireless fence. Should the power go out at your home, your pet will be unprotected. Power
outages can be unpredictable, and the use of a UPS will provide you with some time to properly
restrain your pet.
• To prevent an unintended correction, after the Boundary Flags have been placed, be sure to set the
static correction on the Receiver Collar back to level 1 tone only.
• Do not charge your Receiver Collar every night. Charging too often can reduce battery life. Charge
your Receiver Collar when the Receiver Indicator Light blinks red/green; or when the light blinks red.

How the System Works
The Wireless Mapping Fence allows you to set custom boundaries for your dog by programming the shape and location
of the Pet Area. After positioning Boundary Flags to define the Pet Area, the Boundary Programming Unit (BPU) is used
to collec t boundary data and program the Receiver Collar. The Receiver Collar offers 5 levels of correction plus toneonly, adjustable to your dog’s temperament. If you have multiple dogs, you can easily download boundary data into
multiple Receiver Collars.
The Fence Transmitter is centrally located and transmits a radio signal up to 90 feet in all directions. The Receiver Collar
monitors your dog’s location and issues a warning tone if your dog approaches the Warning Zone. If your dog continues
into the Static Correction Area, the Receiver Collar issues a harmless but startling correc tion through the Contact
Points until your dog returns to the Pet Area.
The Wireless Mapping Fence may be used with a privacy fence if you have problems with your dog digging under the
fence.
The PetSafe
®
Wireless Mapping Fence has been proven safe, comfortable, and ef fective for pets over 15 pounds.

Operating Guide
Step
Charge the Receiver Collar
Do not charge your Receiver Collar every night. Frequent charging can have a negative
effect on the battery life. We recommend that the Receiver Collar be used until the
Receiver Indicator Light blinks red/green or red.

To Charge the Receiver Collar
1. Lift the rubber cover protecting the Receiver Charging Jack.
2. Connect the Receiver Collar Charger connec tor to the Receiver
Charging Jack. Note: The connector only fits one way, do not force it
into the charging jack.
3. Plug the Receiver Collar Charger into a standard AC wall outlet. The
Receiver Collar light will glow red when the charger is properly seated
and charging.
4. Charge the Receiver Collar for 2-3 hours. The light will turn green
when charging is complete. A built in safety circuit prevents the
Receiver Collar from overcharging.
5. After charging, replace the rubber cover to protect the Receiving Charging Jack. The Receiver Collar
must be fully charged prior to programming a Boundary. Each charge can last from approximately 10 to
14 days depending upon frequency of use.
