How the System Works
A radio signal travels from the Fence Transmitter through a buried wire, marking the
boundaries you wish to set for your dog. Your dog wears a Receiver Collar that detects
the signal at the boundary. As your dog approaches the boundary, the receiver issues a
warning tone. If he proceeds further, he receives a safe but startling Static Correction.
While harmless, the correction will persuade him to stay in the containment area
you’ve
established. Boundary fl ags are a temporary visual aid for your pet; remove
them after training. This PetSafe® In-Ground Fence™ has been proven safe,
comfortable, and effective for pets over 8 pounds.

Prepare the Receiver Collar

Contact Points for pets with long or

the Contact Points using Test Light Tool (A)

To Insert and Remove the Battery
Note: Do not install the battery while the Receiver Collar is
on your pet.
This Receiver Collar utilizes a replaceable PetSafe
(RFA-67). 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) (B). Use the edge of
the Test Light Tool to turn the battery clockwise until the
arrow lines up with the lock symbol on the housing.
To remove the battery, turn the battery counter-clockwise
using the edge of the Test Light Tool (C). DO NOT attempt
to cut into or pry open the battery. Be sure to discard the
used battery properly.

Battery life will vary depending on how often your pet tests the system and receives a
Static Correction. Test your Receiver Collar at least once a month to verify that it is
functioning properly. Check that it activates at the Boundary Wire.
A replacement PetSafe® battery (RFA-67) can be found at many retailers. Contact the
Customer Care Center at 1-800-732-2677 or visit our web site at www.petsafe.net to
locate a retailer near you.
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.
Fit the Receiver Collar
Important: The proper fi t and placement of your
Receiver Collar is important for effective training.
The Contact Points must have direct contact with
your pet’s skin on the underside of his neck.
To assure a proper fi t, please follow these steps:
Make sure that the battery is not installed in the 1.
Receiver Collar.
Start with your pet standing comfortably (2. D).

Place the Receiver Collar on your pet so that the 3.
“PetSafe” logo is facing your pet’s chin. Center
the Contact Points underneath your pet’s neck,
touching the skin. Note: It is sometimes necessary to
trim the hair around the Contact Points to make sure
that contact is consistent.
Check the tightness of the Receiver Collar 4.
by
inserting one fi nger between the end of
a Contact Point and your pet’s neck. The fi t
should be snug
but not constricting (E).
Allow your pet to wear the collar for several 5.
minutes then recheck the fi t. Check the fi t again
as your pet becomes more comfortable with the
Receiver Collar.
Once you are satisfi ed with the fi t of the Receiver Collar then you may trim any 6.
excess collar strap as follows (F):
Mark the desired length of the Receiver Collar with a pen. Allow for growth if a.
your pet is young or grows a thick winter coat.
Remove the Receiver Collar from your pet and cut off the excess.b.

collar by applying a fl ame along the frayed edge.

Important: For comfort, safety and effectiveness of product, please ensure
the following:
During the first 2 weeks of training, do not use the training device on your •
pet
without direct supervision.
Check the fit of the Receiver Collar to prevent excessive pressure. You should •
be able to insert one finger between the Contact Point and your pet’s skin.
Never leave the Receiver Collar on your pet for more than 12 consecutive hours.•
Your pet must be carefully examined daily for any signs of a rash or sore.•
If a rash or sore is observed, discontinue the use of the Receiver Collar for a •
few days.
If the condition persists beyond 48 hours, see your veterinarian.•
Your dog’s neck and the Contact Points must be washed weekly with a wash •
cloth and mild hand soap, then rinsed thoroughly.
A condition called Pressure Necrosis, which is a devitalization of the skin due
to excessive and prolonged contact against the Contact Points, may occur if
the
steps above are not followed.
