Operating Guide

How the System Works

The system works by producing a radio signal from the Fence Transmitter through up to 2800 feet of Boundary Wire. The Boundar y Wire is buried or attached to a ﬁ xed object to enclose the Pet Area. You temporarily deﬁ ne this 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 Warning Zone, the Receiver Collar gives a warning beep and vibrates. If your pet continues into the Static Correction Zone, a safe Static Correction will be delivered through the Contact Points to get his attention until he returns to the Pet Area. This PetSafe for pets over 8 pounds.

The Receiver Collar will emit a Warning Tone and vibrate whenever your pet enters the Warning Zone, no matter what correction level the Receiver is set to. If your pet continues into the Correction Zone, and the Receiver Collar is set to level 2 or above, he will receive a Static Correction. The Receiver Collar is equipped to automatically increase the level of Static Correction the longer your pet remains in the Static Correction Zone if the Receiver is set at level 2 or above.

The Receiver Indicator Light acts as a low battery indicator, ﬂ ashing every 5 seconds when battery replacement is required. Test your Receiver Collar at least once a month to verify that it is functioning properly and that it activates at the Boundary Wire.

Over Correction Protection

In the unlikely event that your pet “freezes” in the Static Correction Zone, this feature limits the static correction duration to a maximum of 30 seconds. While the system locks out further static correction, the warning tone will continue until the pet leaves the Static Correction Zone.
