How the System Works

The PetSafe® Yard & Park Trainer has been proven safe, comfortable, and effectiv e for all pets greater than 8 lb and at least 6 months old. This system assists you in controlling your pet without a leash in a range up to 400 yards. At the push of a button, the Handheld Transmitter sends a signal, activating the Receiver Collar. Using the Remote Trainer consistently and correctly, many misbehaviors that your pet exhibits can be corrected or any basic obedience commands can be taught.

Important: The Yard & Park Trainer has a range of up to 400 yards. Depending on the way you hold the Handheld Transmitter, the maximum range may vary. For consistent results at longer ranges, hold the Handheld Transmitter in a vertical position away from your body and above your head. Terrain, weather, vegetation, transmission from other radio devices, and other factors will affect the maximum range.

Key Deﬁ nitions

Handheld Transmitter: T ransmits the radio signal to the Receiv er Collar . It is waterproof. Transmitter Indicator Light: Indicates that a button is pressed and also serves as a low-battery

indicator. Intensity Dial: Provides multiple lev els of Stimula tion so y ou can match the correction to your pet’s

temperament.

Upper Button: This button is factory-set to deliver a Negativ e Tone only. Lower Button: This button is factory-set to deliver a Negativ e Tone for 1 second then Continuous

Stimulation set by the Intensity Dial.

Side Button: This button is factory-set to deliver a Positiv e Tone only . Receiver Collar: Receives the radio signal from the Handheld Transmitter. It is waterproof. On/Off Button: Momentarily pressing and holding this button turns the Receiver Collar on and off. Contact Points: The contacts through which the Receiver Collar delivers Stimulation. Receiver Indicator Light: Indicates when the Receiv er Collar has been turned on or off and also serves

as a low-battery indicator. Charging Jacks:

For connecting the charger. Although the Handheld T ransmitter and Receiv er Collar are waterproof without the charger covers, keep the cov ers in place when not charging to keep debris out of the openings.

Continuous Stimulation: You control when and how long Stimulation is delivered to your dog through the Receiver Collar’ s Contact Points. When a Continuous Stimulation button is pressed for 8 seconds or more, the Handheld Transmitter will “time-out.” The button will need to be released and pressed again before additional Stimulation can be delivered.

Negative T one: Use a Negativ e Tone with a Stimulation to stop unwanted behaviors. Timing is critical. The Negative Tone followed by the Stimulation should occur during or immediately after the unwanted behavior. Once y our dog associa tes the Negativ e Tone with the Stimulation, you will only need to use the Negative T one.

Positive T one: Use the Positive Tone as a marker to reinforce positive behavior. Again, timing is critical. Praise or treat the dog immediately following the P ositiv e Tone.

Rechargeable Batteries

• The rechargeable Nickel Metal Hydride (NiMH) batteries are not memory sensitive

and do not require depletion before charging.

• The batteries come partially charged from the factory, but will require a full charge

(24 hours) before the ﬁ rst use.

• Remember - Always keep batteries away from ﬂ ame.

• When storing the unit for long periods, remember to regularly give batteries a full

charge (12 hours). This should be done once every 4 to 6 weeks.

• Excessive overcharging can shorten battery life. After initial charge, never leave the

battery plugged in for more than 12 hours.

• If your equipment has not been charged for an extended period, you may experience

a decrease in battery life the ﬁ rst few uses. Afterwards, the battery life will return to previous capacity levels.

• You should expect hundreds of recharge cycles from your batteries. However, all

rechargeable batteries lose capacity over time relative to the number of recharge cycles they experience. This is normal. If your operating time drops to half of the original life, contact the Customer Care Center to purchase a new battery.

• The batteries should last for a period of 3-5 years. When a battery needs replacement,

you can order a new pack by contacting our Customer Care Center or visit our website at www.petsafe.net. Please do not open the Receiver Collar or Handheld Transmitter until you have received the replacement.

Fit the Receiver Collar

Important: The proper ﬁ t and placement of your Receiver Collar is important for effective operation. The Contact Points must have direct contact with your dog’s skin on the underside of his neck.

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

1. Make sure that the Receiver Collar is turned off.

2. Start with your dog standing comfortably (3A).

3. Place the Receiver Collar high on your dog’s neck close to the ears. Center the Contact Points underneath your dog’s neck, touching the skin (3B). Note: It is sometimes necessary to trim the

hair around the Contact Points to make sure that contact is consistent.

4. Check the tightness of the Receiver Collar

by inserting one ﬁ nger between the collar and your dog’s neck (3C). The ﬁ t should be snug but not constricting.

5. Allow your dog to wear the Receiver Collar for several minutes then recheck the ﬁ t. Check the ﬁ t again as your dog becomes more comfortable with the Receiver Collar.

Care and Cleaning

To ensure the effectiveness of this product and the comfort and safety of your dog, check the ﬁ t of his collar frequently. This Guide describes proper collar ﬁ tting. If you notice that your dog is experiencing skin irritation, discontinue use of the collar for a few days. If the condition persists beyond 48 hours, see your veterinarian.

To prevent skin irritation from occurring:

• The Receiver Collar should not be worn for more than 8 hours out of every 24-hour

period.

• Your dog’s neck and the Contact Points must be washed weekly with a washcloth and

mild hand soap, then rinsed thoroughly.

• Be sure that your pet’s neck is thoroughly dry before placing the Receiver Collar back

on his neck.
