IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

Explanation of Attention Words and Symbols used in this guide

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
behaviour. 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.

•Risk of electric shock. Use the Fence Transmitter indoors in dry location only.

•This PetSafe® Stay + Play Wireless Fence™ is NOT a solid barrier. The system is designed to

act as a deterrent to remind pets by Static Stimulation 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 Stimulation 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® Stay + Play Wireless
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.

www.petsafe.net 3 2 www.petsafe.net

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 dog’s neck;
this may lead to a rash or infection.

•Always remove your dog’s Receiver Collar before performing any Transmitter testing.

•The Receiver Collar should not be on your dog when the system is tested. Your pet may

receive an unintended stimulation.

•The Boundary Width of the system must be tested whenever an adjustment is made to the
containment field to prevent unintended stimulations to your pet.

•If you use a collar and lead 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.

In rare instances, if your pet is near the boundary at the time when the power fails, it is possible
that your pet will receive a stimulation. This stimulation will stop after a 15 second timeout
period has been reached. This is due to the operation of the collar: the collar is activated by the
absence of the containment signal.

While results will vary depending on the UPS manufacturer’s specifications the following are
typical examples to guide your choice of UPS:

•Using a 400 VA UPS a consumer should expect 1 hours of backup time.

•Using a 900 VA UPS a consumer could expect 4 hours of backup time.

If settings below maximum fence size are used, additional backup time will result. At minimum
fence size settings backup time may be more than two times the backup time estimated at
maximum fence size.

•To prevent an unintended stimulation, after the Boundary Flags have been placed, be sure
to set the Static Stimulation 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 yellow; or when the
light blinks red.

•Do not place anything on the top of the Transmitter or cover any ventilation holes. This may
overheat the Transmitter and cause early transmit failure.

•Do not place Transmitter in a closet or any other confined, unventilated area.

How the System Works

ENES FRIT NLDE

The PetSafe® Stay + Play Wireless Fence™ has been proven safe, comfortable, and effective for all pets over

2.3 kg. The system works by transmitting a radio signal up to 32 m in all directions. You temporarily define the
Pet Area with Boundary Flags for a visual aid in training your pet. Your pet wears a Receiver Collar with Contact
Points that touch his neck, and, once trained, is allowed to roam freely within the Pet Area. When your pet reaches
the Boundary Zone, the Receiver Collar gives a warning beep before delivering a safe Static Stimulation through
the Contact Points to get his attention until he returns to the Pet Area.

Key Definitions

Pet Area: The area around the Transmitter where your pet can roam freely.
Boundary Zone: A 0.6 m to 1 m wide ring outside the Pet Area where your pet’s Receiver Collar will begin to

beep and then begin to deliver a Static Stimulation. The stimulation will start in the Boundary Zone and continue
anywhere beyond the Pet Area. Note: The Receiver Collar is equipped with a safety time-out feature that will stop

correcting after 15 seconds if your pet remains outside the Pet Area.

Receiver Collar: Receives the radio signal from the Transmitter.
Receiver Indicator Light: Indicates the level of

stimulation at which the Receiver Collar is set. This
light also indicates battery status.
Contact Points: Deliver the safe Static
Stimulation when your pet moves into the
Boundary Zone.
Mode Button: Turns Receiver on/off
and adjusts the level of Static Stimulation
your pet received outside of Pet Area.
Receiver Charger: Charges the
batteries inside the Receiver Collar.
Receiver Charge Jack: Connection
point for charging Receiver battery.

Note: In many
neighbourhoods, nearby
property lines may limit
how large the Pet Area
can be.

OPERATING GUIDE

STEP 1

Set Up the Transmitter

Important: You may need to move the Transmitter several times before determining the final location.

The Transmitter is located at the exact centre of the desired Pet Area. Place the Transmitter:

•On the ground floor of your home and at least 60 cm above the floor.

•In a dry, well ventilated, protected area.

•In an area where temperatures do not fall below freezing (e.g., garage, basement, shed, cupboard).

•On a non-metal table or mount on a wall (1A). A mounting template is included on the back of this guide.

•Do not place anything on top of Transmitter or cover any ventilation holes. This may

overheat the Transmitter and cause early Transmitter failure.

•Do not place Transmitter in a closet or any other confined, unventilated area.

•At least 1 m from large metal objects, as these items may reduce the size and shape of your Pet Area (1B).

Placing the Transmitter inside a metal building or shed can reduce the maximum range of the Stay + Play
Wireless Fence™.

DENL ITFR ESEN

www.petsafe.net 7

The Transmitter has two built in warning alarms: a Power Cut Alarm and a Transmission Failure Alarm.
The Transmitter Power Cut Alarm sounds an intermittent tone

ENES FRIT NLDE

alarm indicating power has been removed from the Transmitter.
The Power Cut Alarm will last up to 30 minutes. In the event of a
power cut, your pet is no longer contained.

There are 3 ways to turn off the Power Cut Alarm:

1. Plug Power Adapter into a functional standard AC outlet.

2. Unplug Transmitter Power Adapter from the Power Jack
located on the bottom of the Transmitter.

3. Press the Alarm Disable button for 5 seconds then release.
Three short tones will sound to signify the alarm has been

Fit the Receiver Collar

Important: The proper fit and placement of your Receiver Collar is important for effective training and the

Safety of your pet. The Contact Points must have direct contact with your pet’s skin on the underside of his neck.

Please read and follow the instructions in this manual. 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 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 dog’s neck;
this may lead to a rash or infection.

To assure a proper fit, please follow these steps:

1. Make sure Transmitter is not plugged in, and the receiver is turned off.

2. Start with your pet standing comfortably (6A).

3. To make it easier to hear the warning beep, place the Receiver Collar on your pet with
the PetSafe® logo side of the Receiver facing your pet’s chin.

4. Centre the Contact Points underneath your pet’s neck, touching the skin. If your pet has
a long or thick coat, use the enclosed long Contact Points to reach through the hair.

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.

6A

www.petsafe.net 15 14 www.petsafe.net

5. Check the tightness of the Receiver Collar by inserting
one finger between the end of a Contact Point and
your pet’s neck. The fit should be snug but not
constricting (6B).

6. Allow your pet to wear the collar for several minutes
then recheck the fit. Check the fit again as your pet
becomes more comfortable with the Receiver Collar.

7. Trim the collar as follows (6C):
a. Mark the desired length of the Receiver Collar with

a pen. Allow for growth if your pet is young or
grows a thick winter coat.

b. Remove the Receiver Collar from your pet and cut

off the excess.

c. Before placing the Receiver Collar back onto your

pet, seal the edge of the cut collar by applying a
flame along the frayed edge.

TRAINING GUIDE

Be Patient With Your Pet

Important: Proper training of your pet is essential to the success of the PetSafe® Stay + Play Wireless Fence™.

Read this section completely before beginning to train your pet. Remember that the PetSafe® Stay + Play Wireless
Fence™ is not a solid barrier.

•Have fun with your pet throughout the training process. Training should be
fun, fair, firm and consistent.

•Train for 10 to 15 minutes at a time. Don’t try to do too much too quickly.
More-frequent short sessions are better than less-frequent longer sessions.

•We suggest a minimum of 14 days of training. Depending on your pet and
how he learns, the training could take more or less time.

•If your pet shows signs of stress, slow down the training schedule, add
additional days of training, or increase the amount of play time with your
pet in the Pet Area. Common stress signals include:

- Pet pulling on lead toward the house

- Ears tucked

- Tail down

- Body lowered

- Nervous / frantic movement or stiffening of pet’s body

•Your pet must be completely comfortable near the Boundary Flags at the end of every training session. Spend
at least 5 minutes of “play time” at the completion of each session within 3 m of the Boundary Flags.

•Finish each training session on a positive note with lots of praise and play.

•Remove the Receiver Collar after each training session.

•Be sure to contain your pet by another means during the training period.

•During training, if you need to take your pet out of the Pet Area, remove the Receiver Collar and either pick

your pet up or put him in the car to pass out of the Pet Area.

•Even if you think your pet is responding well to the training, complete the entire training. Reinforcement
is important!

2. Move toward the Boundary Flags (1A). Keep your mood happy.

3. With full control of your pet on a lead, walk to the Boundary Flags. As your pet enters the Boundary Zone, the

Receiver Collar will begin to tone (1B). Allow your pet to stay in the Boundary Zone for up to 2 seconds then
gently help him back into the Pet Area (1C). Immediately praise and offer your pet a treat as he enters the Pet
Area, even if you have helped with the lead.

4. Repeat this process at the same Boundary Flag until your pet resists going into the Boundary Zone.

5. Aim to master 3 to 4 Boundary Flags per session. Make this FUN! Praise if your pet quickly retreats or resists
going into the Boundary Zone.

www.petsafe.net 19 18 www.petsafe.net

•Have tiny pieces of treats available.

•Have your pet’s favourite play toy available.

•Create distractions to tempt your pet to enter the Boundary Zone, such as:

- Have a family member cross from inside the Pet Area to outside of it.

- Throw a ball outside of the Pet Area.

- Have a neighbour walk their pet outside of the Pet Area.

•Gradually increase distraction level. Never coax or call your pet out of the Pet Area.
Steps:

1. With full control of your pet on a lead, have the distraction presented.

2. If your pet does not move toward the distraction, praise and offer a treat.

3. If your pet does react to the distraction, allow him to go into the Boundary Zone.

4. Help your pet back into the Pet Area if he does not turn back after 2 seconds.

5. Treat and praise your pet anytime he comes back into the Pet Area with or without help.

6. Repeat this process with other distractions. Use other family members during this process.

according to Step 6 on page 14.

8. If the Receiver Collar is fitted properly and if your pet does not respond to the Static Stimulation, increase the
Static Stimulation Level by 1.

PHASE 4

Days 9 thru 14 - Supervision Off the Lead

Training sessions should start at 10 to 15 minutes, gradually increasing to over an hour.
Your pet is ready for this step only when he clearly avoids the entire Boundary

Zone, regardless of any distractions or temptations. During this step, do not
leave your pet unattended.

Goal:

To give your pet free run of the Pet Area off the lead.

Setup:

Adjust the Receiver Collar to the permanent setting appropriate for your pet
depending on his size and temperament.

Steps:

1. Enter the Pet Area with your pet wearing the Receiver Collar.

2. Walk around the garden and play with your pet, staying within the Pet Area at all times.

3. Preoccupy yourself with another task in the garden while watching your pet.

DENL ITFR ESEN

PHASE 5

ENES FRIT NLDE

Days 15 thru 30 - Pet Monitoring

Your pet is ready to run! Check in on your pet at regular intervals.

Note: After you are satisfied your pet’s training is complete, remove every other Boundary Flag every 4 days until
all flags are removed. Save Boundary Flags for future use.

Taking Your Pet Out of the Pet Area

Important: Remove the Receiver Collar and leave it in the Pet Area.

Once your pet learns the Boundary Zone, he will be reluctant to cross it for walks or
car rides.

Option 1: Replace the Receiver Collar with a regular collar. Put your pet in a car
that is within the Pet Area and drive him out of the Pet Area.

Option 2: Replace the Receiver Collar with a regular collar and lead. Walk your
pet out of the Pet Area while giving a command such as “OK” at a specific place of
the Boundary Zone (the end of your driveway, sidewalk, etc.). Always leave the Pet
Area with a lead at this place and your pet will associate leaving the Pet Area only on
a lead, only at this place, and only with a person. You may initially need to convince
your pet to leave the Pet Area with a food treat and lots of praise.

Note: You may also carry your pet out of the Pet Area.

Wireless-To-Go

Your PetSafe® Stay + Play Wireless Fence™ is completely portable. Follow the set-up procedures (Steps 1 through

4) wherever you wish to have containment of your pet. Reestablish the Pet Area and mark it with Boundary Flags
so your pet knows his Boundary Zone.

Note: If setting up in a metal building or vehicle, the maximum size of the Pet Area may be reduced. Be sure to
remove the Receiver Collar battery before turning off the Transmitter. If you want to power the Transmitter from a

car or other DC source, use an inverter rated for 50 watts or more.

Wireless Pet

•Because all pets are different, training on this system can be
started once your pet can learn basic obedience commands
like “sit” and “stay”. The system should only be used with
pets who are over 6 months of age. If your pet is injured or its
mobility is otherwise impaired, contact your veterinarian or
professional trainer before use.

•You can use another wireless Transmitter with overlapping
boundaries of at least 2 m to 3 m to get a larger Pet Area.

•The Transmitter signal extends 32 m in all directions. A sloping
garden can cause the Pet Area to appear less or more than
expected. Consider repositioning the Transmitter to maximize
your Pet Area.

•Yes. There is no limit to the number of pets you can contain
with the Stay + Play Wireless Fence™. You must purchase an
additional Receiver Collar for each pet. Contact the Customer
Care Centre or visit our website at www.petsafe.net to locate
a retailer near you.

•No. The Wireless System is only effective on pets who wear
the Receiver Collar.

What happens if the power
is cut?

ENES FRIT NLDE

If my pet leaves the Pet Area, for
how long will he be corrected?

How often do I need to charge the
Receiver Collar battery?

Can I place the Receiver on
another collar?

Do I need to perform maintenance
on my Stay + Play Wireless Fence™?

How do I know the battery in the
Receiver Collar is still working?

Will vehicles, buildings, and
landscape features (trees, shrubs,
etc.) affect the performance of the
Stay + Play Wireless Fence™?

What do I do if my pet’s neck
becomes red and irritated?

Can I attach a lead to the
Receiver Collar?

•The Stay + Play Wireless Fence™ is designed to recognize
power cuts and shuts down without activating the Receiver
Collar. However, if your pet is near the Boundary Zone
during the power failure, he may receive a Static Stimulation.
The Transmitter will sound an intermittent alarm for up to 30
minutes to alert you to the power failure.

•Your pet will receive Static Stimulation for up to 15 seconds as
long as he is out of the Pet Area.

•Battery life depends on how frequently your pet tests the
Boundary Zone. The Receiver Indicator Light acts as a
low battery indicator, flashing every 4 to 5 seconds when
replacement is required.

•Yes. You may use any 1.9 cm, non-metallic collar.

•Check your pet’s neck daily for irritation from the

Contact Points.

•Check the Contact Points on the Receiver Collar weekly to
make sure they are tight and clean.

•Check the fit of the Receiver Collar weekly.

•The Receiver Indicator Light acts as a low battery indicator,

flashing every 4 to 5 seconds when replacement is required.

•Check Receiver Indicator Light.

•Yes. Placing the Transmitter inside a metal building can reduce

the maximum range of the Wireless System.

•Parking a vehicle within the Pet Area, can reduce the range of
the system and cause your pet to receive a Static Stimulation
where it otherwise would not if the vehicle was not there.

•Fixed large metal objects such as metal sheds can affect the
signal by reducing the maximum range of the system at the
location of the object. As a result, your pet may receive a
Static Stimulation.

•This condition is due to the Contact Points irritating the skin.
Discontinue use of the Receiver Collar for a few days. If the
condition persists beyond 48 hours, see your veterinarian.
Once the skin returns to normal, replace the Receiver Collar
and monitor the skin condition closely.

•No. This can result in pulling the Contact Points too tightly
against your pet’s neck. Attach a lead to a separate, non­metallic collar positioned above the Receiver Collar.

Why does my Receiver Collar have a
beep only mode?

What if my Transmitter alarm
is sounding?

The Transmitter is beeping
intermittently when I unplug the
Power Adapter from the wall outlet.

The Transmitter is generating a loud
continuous tone.

Troubleshooting

•The beep only mode can be used in training your pet to his
boundary or for well-trained pets that no longer require
Static Stimulation.

•A beeping tone indicates power cut. If the Transmitter fails
to transmit a proper signal, a continuous alarm will sound.
Contact the Customer Care Centre or visit our website at
www.petsafe.net.

•The Power Cut Alarm in the Transmitter is activated to alert you
that power has been removed from the Transmitter and your
pet is no longer being contained. To turn off the Power Cut
Alarm, unplug the Power Adapter from the Power Jack located
on the bottom of the Transmitter or press the Alarm Disable
Button for 5 seconds then release.

•The Transmitter has a built in Transmission Failure Alarm
that continuously monitors the Transmitter output. If a
transmission failure ever occurs the alarm warns you
that your pet is no longer being contained. Contact
the Customer Care Centre or visit our website at
www.petsafe.net for a replacement Transmitter.

My pet is receiving a
Static Stimulation in his
metal crate.

The Boundary Zone
seems to fluctuate.

The Receiver Collar
activates in the middle of
the garden.

The Receiver Collar is
beeping but my pet is
not responding to the
Static Stimulation.

My pet reacts strongly to
the Static Stimulation and
has become fearful.

The Transmitter Power
Light is not on.

•It is recommended to remove the Receiver Collar fram your pet when
indoors to avoid activation of the Receiver Collar.

•Make sure the Transmitter is plugged in and set up according to
the directions.

•Ensure the entire house is within the Pet Area. The Transmitter may need to
be moved to adjust the Pet Area to include the entire house.

•If relocating the Transmitter, remove the Receiver Collar from your pet before
removing power from the Transmitter.

•The Receiver Collar activates when it loses the Transmitter signal. The metal
crate may block the Transmitter signal which causes the Receiver Collar
to activate.

•Remove the Receiver Collar from your pet when placing him in his
metal crate.

•This is normal for the electro magnetic field of the Stay + Play Wireless
Fence™. The field may be affected by surrounding “electronic noise,” which
can cause it to fluctuate up to 5%.

•Where the Receiver Collar activates is influenced by the speed and
orientation of the Receiver Collar as your pet enters the Boundary Zone.

•The Receiver Collar activates when it loses the Transmitter signal. This
sometimes occurs if a large metal object is between the Receiver Collar
and Transmitter, if the orientation of the Receiver Collar changes near the
Boundary Zone, or if the surrounding “electronic noise” interferes with the
signal. If this continues to occur, consider relocating the Transmitter and
resetting the Pet Area.

•Make sure the Static Stimulation Level is set at 2 or above.

•Test the Receiver Collar with the Test Light.

•If the Test Light flashes, check the fit of the Receiver Collar.

•Trim your pet’s fur where the Contact Points touch the neck and/or switch to

the longer Contact Points.

•Increase the Static Stimulation Level.

•Repeat training steps to reinforce training.

•Lower the Static Stimulation Level.

•Make sure you are in control of the situation when your pet receives his first

Static Stimulations (have him on a lead attached to a separate, non-metallic
collar) and lead him into the Pet Area and praise him. If your pet remains
fearful, suspend training and start again the next day. Make sure to end all
training sessions on a positive note with lots of praise and play.

•Make sure the Power Light on the Power Adapter is on when plugged into a
working standard AC wall outlet.

•If Power Adapter Light is not on, contact the Customer Care Centre for a
replacement Power Adapter.

I was setting up the Pet
Area and after I turned
down the Boundary
Control Dial, the Receiver
Collar would no longer
beep or correct.

My next-door neighbour
has an In-Ground
Containment System and
the Receiver Collar does
not activate near
their property.

The Receiver Collar has
injured my pet’s neck.

•You may have turned the Boundary Control Dial down too quickly, causing
the Receiver Collar to go into power-fail mode. This is a safety feature
designed to protect your pet when power to the Transmitter goes out. With
the Receiver Collar within 3 m of the Transmitter, readjust the Boundary
Control Dial as shown in Step 4 and reset the Boundary Zone, making sure
to turn the dial down slowly.

•Your neighbour’s In-Ground Fence signal may interfere with the operation
of the Receiver Collar preventing activation close to their fence. To minimize
the interference, reduce the size of the Pet Area or move the Transmitter
away from the In-Ground Containment System.

•Adjust the Pet Area so that the Receiver Collar activates for at least 1.5 m
beyond the reduced Boundary setting when walking towards the In-Ground
Containment System.

Failing to follow the important safety information at the front of the Operating
and Training Guide has caused pressure ulcers. Some descriptions of
advanced pressure ulcers describe the sores as looking like burns on the dog’s
neck. Be assured that electronic collars do not use enough energy to create
electrical burns. The energy in an output pulse is only a few thousandths of a
Joule; it is similar in nature to the static pulse that you may feel when getting
out of your car. In some cases, pressure ulcers are described as chemical
burns. The battery in your Receiver Collar is sealed, in addition, your collar’s
housing is also sealed. This sealing makes it virtually impossible, without
misuse or abuse, for your Receiver Collar battery to leak onto your pet’s neck.
Please review and follow the important safety information on page 2, and the
instructions in Step 6 under the heading “Fit the Receiver Collar”.

• Risque d’électrocution. Utilisez l’émetteur de clôture à l’intérieur et seulement dans un emplacement sec.

• Le Stay + Play Wireless Fence™ de PetSafe® n’est PAS une barrière solide. Ce système est

conçu pour rappeler à votre chien qu’il doit rester dans le périmètre autorisé via stimulation
électrostatique. Il est important de renforcer le dressage de votre animal domestique de
manière régulière. Étant donné que le niveau de tolérance de la stimulation électrostatique
varie d’un animal à l’autre, Radio Systems Corporation NE PEUT GARANTIR que le système
permettra de garder votre animal dans le périmètre dans toutes les situations. Certains
animaux domestiques ne peuvent pas être dressés à ne pas traverser ces limites! Par
conséquent, si vous avez des raisons de croire que votre animal peut constituer un danger
pour autrui ou pour lui-même, s’il n’est pas gardé à l’intérieur des limites voulues, vous
NE DEVEZ PAS vous fier uniquement au système Stay + Play Wireless Fence

pour l’y confiner. Radio Systems Corporation NE PEUT être tenu responsable en cas de
dommages matériels, de pertes commerciales ou de dommages accidentels causés par un

• Il est important que le collier soit bien ajusté. Un collier porté trop longtemps ou trop

serré peut irriter la peau de l’animal. Les effets peuvent aller d’une rougeur aux ulcères
de pression; cette condition est communément appelée une escarre de décubitus.

- Évitez de laisser le collier sur le chien plus de 12 heures par jour.

- Si possible, réajustez le collier toutes les 1 à 2 heures.

-

Vérifiez l’ajustement pour éviter une pression excessive; suivez les instructions de ce manuel.

- N’attachez jamais de laisse au collier électronique car cela exercerait une pression
excessive sur les contacteurs.

- Lorsque vous utilisez un autre collier avec une laisse, veillez à ce qu’il n’exerce pas de
pression sur le collier électronique.

- Lavez le cou du chien et les contacteurs du collier chaque semaine avec un chiffon humide.

- Examinez quotidiennement la zone de contact pour détecter toute rougeur ou plaie.

- En cas de rougeur ou de plaie, arrêtez d’utiliser le collier jusqu’à la guérison.

- Si les symptômes persistent au-delà de 48 heures, consultez votre vétérinaire.

Ces précautions vous permettront de garantir la sécurité et le confort de votre animal. Des
millions d’animaux n’ont aucun problème à porter les contacteurs en acier inoxydable. Certains
sont sensibles à la pression des contacteurs. Après un certain temps, il se peut que votre chien
tolère très bien le collier. Si c’est le cas, certaines précautions peuvent être assouplies. Il est
important de poursuivre les contrôles quotidiens de la zone de contact. En cas de rougeur ou
de plaie, arrêtez d’utiliser le collier jusqu’à la guérison complète de la peau.

• Il peut s’avérer nécessaire de couper les poils dans la zone située autour des contacteurs. Ne rasez
jamais le cou de votre chien, car cela risquerait de provoquer des irritations ou une infection.

•Retirez toujours le collier-récepteur avant de tester l’émetteur.

•Votre chien ne doit pas porter le collier-récepteur pendant le test du système. Votre animal

risquerait de recevoir une stimulation involontaire.

•La largeur du périmètre du système doit être testée à chaque fois qu’un ajustement
est apporté au champ anti-fugue afin d’éviter que votre animal ne reçoive des
stimulations involontaires.

•Si vous utilisez un collier et une laisse pour le dressage, il faut vous assurer que le collier
supplémentaire n’exerce aucune pression sur les contacteurs.

•Ne jamais désactiver le système quand le collier est sur l’animal. Ceci pourrait activer le
collier-récepteur.

•Radio Systems Corporation recommande l’utilisation d’un système d’alimentation sans
coupure (UPS) pour votre clôture sans fil. Si jamais l’alimentation électrique était coupée
chez vous, votre animal serait sans protection. Les coupures d’électricité ne sont pas toujours
prévisibles et l’utilisation d’un UPS vous donne assez de temps pour contenir votre animal.

En de rares occasions, si votre animal se trouve à proximité des limites du périmètre au moment
de la coupure électrique, il est possible qu’il reçoive une stimulation. Cette stimulation s’arrête
après un délai de 15 secondes. Ceci est dû au fonctionnement du collier: le collier s’active en
l’absence de signal de confinement.

Même si les résultats peuvent variés selon les spécifications du fabricant de l’UPS, voici des
exemples pour vous permettre de faire votre choix parmi les différents systèmes:

•En utilisant un UPS de 400 kVa, le consommateur peut espérer obtenir 1 heure d’autonomie.

•En utilisant un UPS de 900 kVa, le consommateur peut espérer obtenir 4

heures d’autonomie.

Si l’installation a un périmètre inférieur au périmètre maximum de clôture possible, la durée
de l’autonomie n’en sera que plus longue. Avec un périmètre de clôture minimum, la durée de
l’autonomie peut être multipliée par deux par rapport à l’installation la plus grande.

•Afin d’éviter toute stimulation accidentelle, une fois les fanions de délimitation en place,
veillez à régler le niveau de stimulation électrostatique du collier-récepteur sur 1 (signal
sonore seul).

•Ne rechargez pas le collier-récepteur chaque soir. Le fait de recharger les piles trop
souvent réduit leur autonomie. Rechargez le collier-récepteur lorsque le voyant lumineux du
récepteur clignote en jaune ou lorsque le voyant clignote en rouge.

•Ne posez rien sur l’émetteur et ne couvrez pas les aérations. Ceci pourrait provoquer une
surchauffe de l’émetteur et causer une défaillance prématurée de celui-ci.

•Ne placez pas l’émetteur dans un placard ou dans d’autres endroits confinés et non aérés.
