•This PetSafe® Wireless Pet Containment System® 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 Pet Containment System® 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 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 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.
•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.

How the System Works
The PetSafe® Wireless Pet Containment System® has been proven safe, comfortable, and effective for pets over 8 pounds. The system works by transmitting a radio signal up to 90 feet 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 in the Pet Area. When your pet reaches the Boundary Zone, the Receiver Collar gives a warning beep before delivering
a safe Static Correction through the Contact Points to get his attention until he returns to the Pet Area.
