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™ 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
®
Stay + Play Wireless Fence™ 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 secure 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.
• Do not place Transmitter on or near a metal surface.

How the System Works
The PetSafe® Stay + Play Wireless Fence™ system 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.

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 -12 °C (e.g., garage, basement, shed, cupboard).
• On a non-metal table or other hard surface to ensure proper ventilation (1A).
• 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.
• Do not place Transmitter on or near a metal surface.
• 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™ system.
The Transmitter has three built in warning alarms: a Power Loss Alarm, a Metal Interference Alarm, and a Transmission Failure Alarm.
• The Transmitter Power Loss Alarm sounds an intermittent single tone alarm indicating power has been removed from the Transmitter. The Power Loss Alarm will last up to 30 minutes. In the event of a power loss, your pet is no longer contained.
There are three ways to turn off the Power Loss Alarm:
1. Plug Power Adaptor into a functional standard AC outlet.
2. Unplug Transmitter Power Adaptor 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 turned off.
• The Metal Interference Alarm sounds an intermittent double tone alarm indicating that the Transmitter has been set towards the maximum range and placed on or close to a metal surface. If the Metal Interference Alarm sounds, your pet is no longer contained. You must relocate the Transmitter away from metal or the alarm will continue to sound and the transmission from the Transmitter will remain disabled.

There are two ways to turn off the Metal Interference Alarm and re-initiate the Transmitter radio signal.
1. Unplug Transmitter Power Adaptor from the Power Jack located on the bottom of the Transmitter.
2. Press the Alarm Disable Button for 5 seconds then release.
• The Transmission Failure Alarm makes a continuous tone indicating a Transmitter problem. In this situation, your pet can no longer be contained. Contact the Customer Care Centre or visit our website at www.petsafe.net for a replacement Transmitter.
STEP 2
Charge the Receiver Collar
The Receiver Collar Charger is designed to plug into a standard AC wall outlet. The Receiver Collar light will glow red when the Receiver Charger is properly seated into the Receiver Charge Jack. The light will turn green when charging is complete. A built in safety circuit prevents the Receiver Collar from overcharging.
The Receiver Collar will achieve a full charge in 2 to 3 hours. Each charge can last up to 3 weeks depending upon frequency of use.
• Do not charge your Receiver Collar every night. Frequent charging can have a negative effect on the battery. We recommend that the Receiver Collar be used until the Receiver Indicator Light blinks yellow or red.
To charge the Receiver Collar, lift and slide the Receiver Collar strap away from the front of the unit (2A). Lift the rubber plug to allow access to the Receiver Charge Jack. The rubber plug needs to remain attached to the Receiver Collar. Plug the Receiver Charger into the Receiver Charge Jack on the Receiver Collar. The Receiver Charge Jack and Receiver Charger are keyed to fit one way. Do not force it in backwards.

STEP 4
Adjust the Pet Area to Desired Size
Make sure the entire Pet Area lies within your property boundaries (4A). 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 from the Transmitter. For Boundary Zones below this distance place the Boundary Switch on “Low.”
Test Light Instructions
1. Make sure the Receiver Collar Battery is properly charged. Set the Stimulation Level to 2 or above.
2. Hold the Test Light Contacts to the Contact Points (4B).
3. Walk toward the Boundary Zone holding the Receiver collar at your pet’s neck level (4E) until the Test Light flashes (4F).
Save Test Light for future testing.
Note: If your next-door neighbour has an In-Ground Containment system, see Troubleshooting section page 23.
To maximize your Pet Area, make sure the Boundary Switch is on “High” and the Boundary Control Dial is set to “8” (4C & 4D). Plug Power Adaptor into Power Jack and standard AC outlet.
Two-Person Method
Hold the Receiver Collar at your pet’s neck height (4E) 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 (4F).
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 13 and set the Boundary Switch and Boundary Control Dial. Hold the Test Light Contacts to the Contact Points (4B). Take the Receiver Collar to the Boundary Zone with the logo side facing away from the Transmitter and Contact Points facing upwards (4E). Hold the Receiver Collar at your pet’s neck level (4F) until the Receiver Collar beeps and the Test Light flashes. 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 13 for future reference.

STEP 6
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 secure 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.

www.petsafe.net 17 16 www.petsafe.net
ENES FRIT NLDE
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.
To Re-Thread the Collar
Slide Buckle
Ridges
The slide buckle prevents the collar from becoming loose around your pet’s neck.
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® Stay + Play Wireless Fence™
system. Read this section completely before beginning to train your pet. Remember that the PetSafe® Stay + Play Wireless Fence™ system 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!

PHASE 1
Day 1 - Boundary Awareness
Tone Only Training Mode
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 define 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 find 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 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.

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.
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, confirm that the Receiver Collar is fitting properly according to Step 6 on page 14.
3. If the Receiver Collar is fitted properly and your pet does not respond to the Static Stimulation, increase the Static Stimulation Level by 1. Watch for slight reactions at first such as ears up, head turned, looking at the ground.
4. Stay at the same Boundary Flags 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.
• 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.
7. If your pet does not respond to the Static Stimulation, confirm that the Receiver Collar is fitting properly 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.

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 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™ 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.

Frequently Asked Questions
How old does my pet have to be before starting training on the PetSafe® Stay + Play Wireless Fencesystem?
• 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.
Is the Receiver Collar waterproof? • Yes. Will the PetSafe
®
Wireless Pet Containment System™ cover a larger circle than 64 m across?
• You can use another wireless Transmitter with overlapping boundaries of at least 2 m to 3 m to get a larger Pet Area.
Will a sloping garden affect the 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.
Can I use more than one Receiver Collar with the Stay + Play Wireless Fence?
• 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.
Will the Stay + Play Wireless Fence keep other pets out of my garden?
• No. The Wireless system is only effective on pets who wear the Receiver Collar.
Is there a hand-held remote Transmitter that will work with the Stay + Play Wireless Fence 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.
Is there a smaller Receiver Collar or another compatible Receiver Collar that I can use with the wireless Transmitter?
• No. Contact the Customer Care Centre or visit our website at www.petsafe.net for additional ideas or solutions.
If I have a question about my Stay + Play Wireless Fence or need replacement parts, where can I get answers or service?
• Contact the Customer Care Centre or visit our web site at www.petsafe.net.
Can I use the Stay + Play Wireless Fence on an aggressive pet?
• This product is not for use with aggressive pets. If you are unsure if your dog is aggressive, please consult your veterinarian or a certified trainer.
Can I use the Stay + Play Wireless Fence on a cat?
• The Stay + Play Wireless Fence™ can be used as long as the cat can comfortably wear the Receiver Collar.
www.petsafe.net 23
DENL ITFR ESEN
What happens if the power is cut?
• The Stay + Play Wireless Fence™ is designed to recognize power loss 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.
If my pet leaves the Pet Area, for how long will he be corrected?
• Your pet will receive Static Stimulation for up to 15 seconds as long as he is out of the Pet Area.
How often do I need to charge the Receiver Collar battery?
• 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.
Can I place the Receiver on another collar?
• Yes. You may use any 1.9 cm, non-metallic collar.
Do I need to perform maintenance on my Stay + Play Wireless Fence?
• 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.
How do I know the battery in the Receiver Collar is still working?
• Check Receiver Indicator Light.
Will vehicles, buildings, and landscape features (trees, shrubs, etc.) affect the performance of the Stay + Play Wireless Fence?
• 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.
What do I do if my pet’s neck becomes red and irritated?
• 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?
• 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?
• 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 Transmitter is sounding an intermittent double tone alarm.
• The intermittent double tone is the Metal Interference Alarm. This alarm sounds if the Transmitter is placed too close to a metal surface. When this alarm sounds, the transmission output is disabled and your pet is no longer being contained. Relocate the Transmitter and either unplug the Power Adaptor from the Power Jack or press the Alarm Disable Button for 5 seconds then release.
The Transmitter is sounding an intermittent single tone when I unplug
the Power Adaptor from the wall outlet.
• The Power Loss 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 Loss Alarm, unplug the Power Adaptor from the Power Jack located on the bottom of the Transmitter or press the Alarm Disable Button for 5 seconds then release.
The Transmitter is generating a loud continuous tone.
• 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 for a replacement Transmitter.
The Receiver Collar is not beeping when setting up the Boundary Zone.
• Make sure Receiver Collar is turned on and Battery Status Lights are flashing every 4 to 5 seconds.
• Charge Receiver Collar.
• The beep may be difficult 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.
The Receiver Collar is not beeping or administering a Static Stimulation.
• Make sure Receiver Collar is turned on and Battery Status Lights are flashing every 4 to 5 seconds.
• Charge Receiver Collar.
• Check that the Transmitter is plugged into a working standard AC outlet, the Power Light is on, and the Transmitter controls are set at your desired settings.
The Receiver Collar is beeping everywhere.
• Check that the Transmitter is plugged into a working standard AC outlet, the Power Light is on, and the Transmitter controls are set at your desired settings.
• Bring Receiver Collar within 3 m of the Transmitter to reset.
• Make sure no continuous alarm is sounding on the Transmitter.

The Receiver Collar is beeping inside the house.
• 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.
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 fluctuate.
• 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 in the middle of the garden.
• 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.
The Receiver Collar is beeping but my pet is not responding to the Static Stimulation.
• 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.
My pet reacts strongly to the Static Stimulation and has become fearful.
• 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.
The Transmitter Power Light is not on.
• Make sure the Power Light on the Power Adaptor is on when plugged into a working standard AC wall outlet.
• If Power Adaptor Light is not on, contact the Customer Care Centre for a replacement Power Adaptor.

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.
• 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.
My next-door neighbour has an in-ground containment system and the Receiver Collar does not activate near their property.
• 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.
The Receiver Collar has injured my pet’s neck.
• 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”.

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 d’utilisation sûre qui ne sont pas relatives aux blessures corporelles.
• Ne peut être utilisé avec des chiens dangereux. N’utilisez pas ce produit si votre chien a tendance à être agressif. Les chiens agressifs peuvent provoquer chez leur maîtres ou autrui des blessures graves ou la mort. Si vous doutez de l’opportunité d’utiliser ce produit avec votre chien, veuillez consulter votre vétérinaire ou un dresseur agréé.
• 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
de PetSafe® 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 animal s’étant échappé du dispositif.
• 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.
- Pour obtenir des informations supplémentaires sur les escarres de décubitus et la nécrose
cutanée, consultez notre site Web.
