IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

ENFRES

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 certi ed trainer.

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

• 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 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® Wireless Pet Containment System™ to con ne 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  t 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  t 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

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  nd 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  eld 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 30 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 speci cations the following are typical examples to guide your choice of UPS:

• Using a 400 VA UPS a consumer should expect 3 hours of backup time.

• Using a 900 VA UPS a consumer could expect 8 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 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 con ned, unventilated area.

How the System Works

ENFRES

The PetSafe® Wireless Pet Containment System™ has been proven safe, comfortable, and effective for all pets over 3.6 kg (8 lb). The system works by transmitting a radio signal up to 27.5 m (90 ft) in all directions. You temporarily de ne 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 De nitions

Transmitter: Transmits the radio signal and

is the centre of the Pet Area. Pet Area: The area around the Transmitter

where your pet can roam freely.

Boundary Zone: A 0.6 m to 1 m (2 ft to 3 ft)

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 30 seconds if your pet remains outside the Pet Area.

Transmitter

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

PET AREA

Maximum 27.5m

(90 ft) range

(45 average steps)

Receiver Collar: Receives the radio signal from the Transmitter.

Stimulation Level Button: Adjusts the level of Static Stimulation your pet receives outside the Pet Area.

Receiver Indicator Light: Indicates the level of stimulation at which the Receiver Collar is set. This light also serves as a low battery indicator.

Contact Points: Deliver the safe Static Stimulation when your pet moves into the Boundary Zone.

Power Jack: Where the Power Adapter plugs into the Transmitter. The Transmitter is powered by a standard outlet.

Boundary Switch: Adjusts the size according to the size of the Pet Area desired. Power Light: Indicates when the Transmitter is on. Boundary Control Dial: Adjusts the distance from the Transmitter to the Boundary Zone. Note:

Adjusting the dial does not change the level of Static Stimulation on the Receiver Collar.

Set Up the Transmitter

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

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

• On the ground  oor of your home and at least 60 cm (2 ft) above the  oor.

• 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.

• At least 1 m (3 ft) from large metal objects, as these items may reduce the size and shape of your Pet Area (1B).

To maximize your Pet Area, make sure the Boundary Switch is on “High” and the Boundary Control Dial is set to “8” (1C). Plug Power Adapter into Power Jack and standard outlet. Turn the Transmitter on.

STEP 2

ENFRES

Prepare the Receiver Collar

Your Receiver Collar comes with short Contact Points installed. Use the long Contact Points for pets with long or thick hair. Remove and retighten the Contact Points using the Test Light Tool (2A). The Contact Points should be tightened one-half turn beyond  nger tight. Check the tightness weekly.

To Insert and Remove the Battery

Note: Do not install the battery while the Receiver Collar is on your pet.

This process should be carried out within 1.5 m (5 ft) of the Transmitter. The Receiver Collar utilizes a replaceable PetSafe® battery (RFA-67D-11). This

unique battery is designed to make battery replacement easier and increase water protection.

To insert the battery, align the symbols on the battery (arrow) and Receiver Collar (triangle) (2B). Use the edge of the Test Light Tool (2B) to turn the

battery clockwise until the arrow lines up with the lock symbol on the housing.

To remove the battery, turn the battery anti-clockwise using the edge of the Test Light Tool (2C). DO NOT attempt to cut into or pry open the battery. Be

sure to discard the used battery properly.

If the Receiver Indicator Light is  ashing every 4 to 5 seconds, battery replacement is required. Remove the old battery from the Receiver Collar. Discharge all power by holding the Stimulation Level Button down until the light is no longer illuminated. Replace with a new battery.

A replacement PetSafe® battery (RFA-67D-11) can be found at many retailers. Contact the Customer Care Centre or visit our web site at www.petsafe.net to locate a retailer near you.

To Set the Static Stimulation Level

Read all the steps below before attempting to set the Static Stimulation Level. Refer to the Function and Response Table below for advice on setting the Static Stimulation Level that best suits your pet.

1. Remove the clear plastic cover with the edge of the Test Light Tool to expose the Stimulation Level Button (2D).

2. With the battery installed, press the Stimulation Level Button and release when the Receiver LED Indicator Light lights up (2E).

2D 2E

3. The Receiver LED Indicator Light will emit a series of  ashes corresponding to the Static Stimulation Level.

www.petsafe.net

4. Increase the Static Stimulation Level by pressing and releasing the Stimulation Level Button within 5 seconds of the previous series of  ashes.

5. After setting the Static Stimulation Level, replace the cover to protect the Stimulation Level Button.

The Static Stimulation levels increase in strength from 1 to 6. Pushing the Stimulation Level Button while the Receiver Collar is on level 6 will cause the Receiver Collar to revert to level 1. Refer to the Function and Response Table to choose the Static Stimulation level that best  ts your pet.

The Receiver LED Indicator Light acts as a low battery indicator,  ashing every 4 to 5 seconds when replacement is required.

Battery Contact Veri cation

Remove Receiver Collar from your pet. Press the button and verify that the LED light illuminates. If the LED light does not come on remove the battery. Locate the metal tabs in the battery well. Gently lift the tabs to ensure that the battery will make good contact. Replace the battery into the Receiver Collar. Press the button and check that the LED light illuminates.

STEP 3

ENFRES

Adjust the Pet Area to Desired Size

Make sure the entire Pet Area lies within your property boundaries (3A). Always start determining the Boundary Zone at the shortest distance from Transmitter. Place the Boundary Switch on “High” for Boundary Zones more than 13.5 m (45 ft) from the Transmitter. For Boundary Zones below this distance place the Boundary Switch on “Low.”

Make sure the Receiver Collar battery is properly installed, the Static Stimulation level is set at 2 or greater, and the Test Light Contacts are touching the Contact Points (3B).

Note: If your next-door neighbor has an In-Ground containment system, see Troubleshooting section page 20.

1. Set the Stimulation Level to 2 or above.

2. Hold the Test Light Contacts to the Contact Points.

3. Walk toward the Boundary Zone holding the Receiver collar at your pet’s neck level until the Test Light  ashes.

Save Test Light for future testing.

Note: If the Test Light does not  ash, install a new battery and re-test. If Test Light still does not  ash, contact the Customer Care Centre or visit our website at www.petsafe.net.

To maximize your Pet Area, make sure the Boundary Switch is on “High” and the Boundary Control Dial is set to “8”. Plug Power Adapter into Power Jack and standard outlet.

STREET

Two-Person Method

Hold the Receiver Collar at your pet’s neck height (3C) with the Petsafe logo facing away from the Transmitter. Walk to the edge of the desired Pet Area. Facing away from the Transmitter, hold the Receiver Collar at the edge of the desired Pet Area (3D).

Starting with the Boundary Control Dial set to “8”, have a second person turn the dial down SLOWLY. When the Receiver Collar starts to beep, tell the person to stop turning the Boundary Control Dial. Record your settings below for future reference.

One-Person Method

Measure the shortest distance from the desired Boundary Zone to the Transmitter. Find the distance on the Transmitter Range Chart on page 11 and set the Boundary Switch and Boundary Control Dial. Hold the Test Light Contacts to the Contact Points (3B). Take the Receiver Collar to the Boundary Zone with the logo side facing away from the Transmitter and Contact Points facing upwards (3C). Hold the Receiver Collar at your pet’s neck level (3D) until the Receiver Collar beeps and the Test Light  ashes. If the Receiver Collar beeps before or after the desired Boundary Zone, return to the Transmitter and adjust the Boundary Control Dial. Repeat this process until the Receiver Collar is beeping at the desired location. Record your settings on page 11 for future reference.

www.petsafe.net

The Boundary Flags may be in different parts of the Boundary Zone and may not be in a line. The Boundary Zone is 0.6 m to 1 m (2 ft to 3 ft) wide.

ENFRES

STEP 5

Fit the Receiver Collar

Important: The proper  t 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.

To assure a proper  t, please follow these steps:

1. Make sure that the battery is not installed in the Receiver Collar.

2. Start with your pet standing comfortably (5A).

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 up.

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.

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

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

7. Trim the collar as follows (5C): 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  ame along the frayed edge.

8. Put battery in Receiver Collar.

To Re-Thread the Collar

Slide Buckle

The slide buckle prevents the collar from becoming loose around your pet’s neck.

Ridges

The ridges must be facing up; the collar will slip if it is not properly threaded.

TRAINING GUIDE

Be Patient With Your Pet

Important: Proper training of your pet is essential to the success of the

PetSafe® Wireless Pet Containment System™. Read this section completely before beginning to train your pet. Remember that the PetSafe® Wireless Pet Containment System™ is not a solid barrier.

• Have fun with your pet throughout the training process. Training should be fun, fair,  rm 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.

min.

• 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 (10 ft) 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.

www.petsafe.net

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

ENFRES

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!

PHASE 1

Day 1 - Boundary Awareness

Perform three sessions on day 1, each training session lasting 10 to15 minutes.

Goal:

To have your pet learn that the Boundary Flags and warning beep from the Receiver Collar de ne the new Pet Area.

Setup:

• Program the static stimulation level on the Receiver Collar to level 1, tone only training mode.

• Put a separate non-metallic collar on your pet’s neck ABOVE the Receiver Collar and attach a lead.

Be sure the extra collar does not put pressure on the Contact Points.

• Have tiny pieces of treats that your pet will  nd desirable available.

• Have your pet’s favourite play toy available.

Steps:

1. Begin by walking your pet on a lead in the Pet Area. Calmly praise and talk to your pet.

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

3. With full control of your pet on a lead, walk to the  ags. 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.

1A 1B 1C

www.petsafe.net

PHASE 2

Days 2 thru 4 - Continue Boundary Awareness

Perform three sessions per day, each lasting 10 to15 minutes.

Goal:

To train your pet to stay in the Pet Area and respect the boundary while you are outside of it.

Setup:

• Program the static stimulation level on the Receiver Collar to level 2.

• Put a separate non-metallic collar on your pet’s neck ABOVE the Receiver Collar and attach a lead.

Be sure the extra collar does not put pressure on the Contact Points.

• Have tiny pieces of treats available.

• Have your pet’s favourite play toy available. Steps:

1. Repeat steps 1through 5 in Phase One.

2. If your pet does not respond to the Static Stimulation, con rm that the Receiver Collar is  tting properly according to Step 5 on page 12.

3. If the Receiver Collar is  tted properly and your pet does not respond to the Static Stimulation, increase the Static Stimulation Level by 1. Watch for slight reactions at  rst such as ears up, head turned, looking at the ground.

4. Stay at the same  ag until your pet resists going into the Boundary Zone.

PHASE 3

Days 5 thru 8 - Distraction Phase

Perform three training sessions per day, each lasting 10 to 15 minutes.

Goal:

To train your pet to stay within the Pet Area with distractions outside of the Pet Area.

Setup:

• Program the static stimulation level on the Receiver Collar to level 2 or higher depending on your

pet’s response to days 2 through 4.

• Put a separate non-metallic collar on your pet’s neck ABOVE the Receiver Collar and attach a lead.

Be sure the extra collar does not put pressure on the Contact Points.

• Have tiny pieces of treats available.

www.petsafe.net

• Have your pet’s favourite play toy available.

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

ENFRES

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

- Throw a ball outside of the Pet Area.

- Have a neighbor 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.

7. If your pet does not respond to the Static Stimulation, con rm that the Receiver Collar is  tting

properly according to Step 5 on page 12.

8. If the Receiver Collar is  tted 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.

4. Should your pet escape, take the Receiver Collar off or turn the system off at the Fence Transmitter and lead him back into the Pet Area.

www.petsafe.net

PHASE 5

Days 15 thru 30 - Pet Monitoring

Your pet is ready to run! Check in on your pet at regular intervals. Note: After you are satis ed your pet’s training is complete, remove every other Boundary Flag every

4 days until all  ags 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 speci c 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® Wireless Pet Containment System™ 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.

• Yes. When changing the battery, be sure to keep the battery area dry and free from dirt and debris.

• You can use another Wireless Transmitter with overlapping boundaries of at least 2 m to 3 m (5 ft to 10 ft) to get a larger Pet Area.

• The Transmitter signal extends 27.5 m (90 ft) 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 Wireless System. 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.

Will the Wireless System keep other pets out of my garden?

Is there a hand-held remote Transmitter that will work with the Wireless System Receiver Collar?

Is there a smaller Receiver Collar or another compatible Receiver Collar that I can use with the Wireless Transmitter?

If I have a question about my Wireless System or need replacement parts, where can I get answers or service?

Can I use the Wireless System on an aggressive pet?

Can I use the Wireless System on a cat?

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

• No. You would need to purchase a separate Remote Training System. Contact the Customer Care Centre or visit our website at www.petsafe.net to locate a retailer near you.

• No. Contact the Customer Care Centre or visit our website at www.petsafe.net for additional ideas or solutions.

• Contact the Customer Care Centre or visit our web site at www.petsafe.net.

• We do not recommend using any electronic training devices on aggressive pets. If you are unsure if your dog is aggressive, please consult your veterinarian or a certi ed trainer.

• The Wireless System can be used as long as the cat can comfortably wear the Receiver Collar.

www.petsafe.net

What happens if the power goes out?

• The Wireless System 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. To lessen this chance, you may consider a battery back-up device for the Transmitter if your area experiences frequent power cuts.

What can happen if I turn off or unplug the Transmitter power?

What if I lose the clear plastic cover for the Stimulation Level Button?

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

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

Can I place the Receiver on another collar?

• If your dog is wearing the Receiver Collar, he may receive an unintended stimulation. Always remove your dog’s Receiver Collar before removing power from the Transmitter or before performing any Transmitter testing.

• The clear plastic cover prohibits the Static Stimulation Level from accidentally being changed and also helps keep the Receiver waterproof. Contact the Customer Care Centre for a replacement.

• Your pet will receive Static Stimulation as long as he is outside the Pet Area, for up to 30 seconds. The Receiver Collar has a safety time-out to stop correcting and beeping after 30 seconds until it is returned to 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,  ashing every 4 to 5 seconds when replacement is required.

• Yes, any non-metallic collar. Make 2 holes in the collar to attach the Receiver. Use the collar in the kit as a template to locate the holes on the new collar.

Do I need to perform maintenance on my Wireless System?

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 Wireless System?

• 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  t of the Receiver Collar weekly.

• The Receiver Indicator Light acts as a low battery indicator,  ashing every 4 to 5 seconds when replacement is required.

• Take the Receiver Collar off your pet and walk into the Boundary Zone. The Receiver Collar should beep. If not, replace the battery.

• 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.

www.petsafe.net

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

ENFRES

• 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.

Can I attach a lead to the Receiver Collar?

Why does my Receiver Collar have a beep only mode?

The Receiver Collar is not

beeping when setting up the Boundary Zone.

The Receiver Collar is not beeping or administering a Static Stimulation.

• 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.

• 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.

Troubleshooting

• The beep may be dif cult to hear in a noisy environment.

• Install the Test Light as explained in the “Test Light Instructions” section, and use it to determine the location of Boundary Zone.

• Check that the Transmitter is set up according to directions and install a new Receiver Collar battery within 1.5 m to 3 m (5 ft to 10 ft) of the Transmitter.

• Re-Synchronize the System (page 22).

• Check that the Transmitter is plugged into a working outlet, turned on, the Power Light is on, and the Transmitter controls are set at your desired settings.

The Receiver Collar is beeping everywhere.

The Receiver Collar is beeping inside the house.

• Check Receiver battery to make sure it is installed properly.

• When replacing the Receiver Collar battery, do so within

1.5 m to 3 m (5 ft to 10 ft) of the Transmitter.

• Re-Synchronize the System (page 22).

• Check that the Transmitter is plugged into a working standard outlet, turned on, the Power Light is on, and the Transmitter controls are set at your desired settings.

• Bring Receiver Collar within 1.5 m to 3 m (5 ft to 10 ft) of the Transmitter to reset.

• Re-Synchronize the System (page 22).

• Make sure the Transmitter is on 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 turning the Transmitter off.

www.petsafe.net

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

• 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.

The Boundary Zone seems to  uctuate.

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.

• This is normal for the electro magnetic  eld of the Wireless System. The  eld may be affected by surrounding “electronic noise,” which can cause it to  uctuate up to 5%.

• Where the Receiver Collar activates is in uenced 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.

• Re-Synchronize the System (page 22).

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

• Test the Receiver Collar with the Test Light.

• If the Test Light  ashes, check the  t 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.

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

The Power Light is not on. • Make sure the Transmitter On/Off Switch is on and the

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.

• Lower the Static Stimulation Level.

• Make sure you are in control of the situation when your pet receives his  rst 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.

Power Adapter is plugged into the Transmitter and a working standard outlet.

• 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 1.5 m to 3 m (5 ft to 10 ft) of the Transmitter, turn the Boundary Control Dial to “8” and reset the Boundary Zone, making sure to turn the dial down slowly.

www.petsafe.net

My next-door neighbor has an In-Ground Containment

ENFRES

System and the Receiver Collar does not activate near their property.

The Receiver Collar has injured my pet’s neck.

• Your neighbor’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 InGround Fence System.

• Adjust the Pet Area so that the Receiver Collar activates for at least 1.5 m (5 ft) beyond the reduced Boundary setting when walking towards the In-Ground Fence.

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 RFA-67D-11 battery is sealed when installed in the Receiver Collar housing. 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 5 under the heading “Fit the Receiver Collar”.

Re-synchronize the System

1. Remove the Receiver Collar from your pet.

2. Remove the battery from the Receiver Collar. Discharge all power by holding the Stimulation Level Button down until the LED is no longer illuminated.

3. At the transmitter, move the Boundary Switch from the low to the high position.

4. Slowly adjust the Boundary Control Dial up to 8, down to 1 and then back to the #4 position.

5. Standing within 1.5 m to 3 m (5 ft to 10 ft) of the Transmitter, reinsert the battery into the Receiver Collar.

6. Test the Boundary and verify operation by walking out into the Pet Area until your Receiver Collar responds. With the Transmitter set to 4, it should activate approximately 12 m to 15 m (40 ft to 50 ft) away.

Once you are con dent that the system is working, reset the Transmitter controls to the original setting.

CONSIGNES DE SÉCURITÉ IMPORTANTES

Description des termes et symboles utilisés dans ce manuel

Ce symbole est une alerte de sécurité. Il est utilisé pour vous alerter des risques de blessures. Veuillez respecter tous les messages de sécurité qui suivent ce symbole pour éviter tout risque de blessure ou de décès.

AVERTISSEMENT indique une situation dangereuse qui, si elle n’est pas évitée, pourrait entraîner la mort ou des blessures graves.

ATTENTION, utilisé sans le symbole d’alerte de sécurité, indique une situation dangereuse qui, si elle n’est pas évitée, pourrait blesser votre animal.

AVIS, indique les pratiques qui ne sont pas relatives aux blessures corporelles.

• Ne pas utiliser avec les chiens agressifs. Ne pas utiliser ce produit si votre chien est agressif ou s’il a tendance à l’être. Les chiens agressifs peuvent provoquer chez leur maîtres ou autrui des blessures graves ou la mort. Si vous n’êtes pas certain que ce produit convient pour votre chien, veuillez demander l’avis de votre vétérinaire ou d’un dresseur quali é.

• Risque d’électrocution. Utilisez l’émetteur de clôture uniquement à l’intérieur dans un endroit sec.

• Ce système n’est PAS une barrière matérielle. Ce système est conçu pour rappeler à votre chien qu’il doit rester dans le périmètre autorisé via stimulations électrostatiques. Il est important d’entretenir régulièrement le dressage de votre chien. Étant donné que le niveau de tolérance de la stimulation électrostatique varie d’un animal à l’autre, Radio Systems Corporation NE PEUT PAS garantir que le système permettra de garder votre animal dans le périmètre dans toutes les situations. Cette tâche est parfois impossible suivant le chien ! Dès lors, si vous avez des raisons de penser que votre animal peut représenter un danger pour autrui ou se blesser lui-même s’il parvient à s’échapper, il est déconseillé de compter uniquement sur ce système pour con ner l’animal. Radio Systems Corporation NE PEUT PAS être tenu responsable de dommages matériels, de pertes commerciales ou de dommages accidentels causés par un animal s’étant échappé du dispositif.

• Il est important que le collier soit bien ajusté. Un collier porté de façon excessive 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 pendant plus de 12 heures par jour.

• Si possible, repositionnez le collier toutes les 1 à 2 heures.

• Véri ez que le collier est bien ajusté pour éviter toute pression excessive ; suivez les

consignes de ce manuel.

• Ne jamais attacher une laisse au collier électronique car cela provoquerait une pression

excessive sur les contacts.

• Lorsque vous utilisez un autre collier avec une laisse, veillez à ce qu’il ne fasse pas

pression sur le collier électronique.

• Lavez le cou du chien et les contacts du collier une fois par semaine, avec un

tissu 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 l’irritation persiste après 48 heures, consultez un vétérinaire.

• Pour des informations supplémentaires sur les escarres et les nécroses cutanées, veuillez

consulter notre site interne.

www.petsafe.net

Ces mesures vous permettront de garantir la sécurité et le confort de votre animal. Des millions d’animaux n’ont aucun problème à porter les contacts en acier inoxydable. Certains sont sensibles à la pression des contacts. 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 continuer à contrôler les zones de contact. En cas de rougeur ou de plaie, arrêtez d’utiliser le collier jusqu’à la guérison complète de la peau.

• Il est possible que vous deviez couper le poil dans la zone des contacteurs. Ne rasez jamais le cou du chien, ceci pourrait causer une éruption ou une infection.

• Toujours retirer 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 a n 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  l. 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 30 secondes. Ceci est dû au fonctionnement du collier : le collier s’active en l’absence de signal de con nement.

Même si les résultats peuvent variés selon les spéci cations 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 3 heures d’autonomie.

• En utilisant un UPS de 900 kVa, le consommateur peut espérer obtenir 8 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.

• A n d’éviter toute stimulation involontaire, une fois les fanions de délimitation en place, veillez à régler le niveau de stimulation électrostatique du collier-récepteur sur 1 (Signal sonore seulement).

• Ne rien poser sur le transmetteur et ne pas couvrir les aérations. Ceci pourrait provoquer une surchauffe du transmetteur et causer une défaillance prématurée de celui-ci.

• Ne pas placer le transmetteur dans un placard ou dans d’autres endroits con nés et non aérés.

Fonctionnement

ENFRES

Le système de retenue sans  l pour animaux domestiques le Système anti-fugue sans  l Wireless Pet Containment System™ est un système sûr, confortable et ef cace qui convient pour tous les animaux domestiques de plus de 3,6 kg. Son fonctionnement est simple: il envoie un signal radio dans toutes les directions avec une portée maximale de 27,5 mètres. Vous déterminez provisoirement la zone réservée à l’animal domestique à l’aide des fanions de délimitation qui constituent un support visuel au dressage de votre animal. Ce dernier porte un collier récepteur muni de points de contact qui touchent son cou. Une fois l’animal dressé, il peut se promener librement dans la zone qui lui est réservée. Lorsque votre animal arrive au niveau des limites prédéterminées, le collier récepteur émet

un signal d’avertissement avant d’administrer une stimulation statique inoffensive pour attirer son attention et le faire retourner dans la zone qui lui est réservée.

Dé nitions principales
