This System is NOT a solid barrier. The system is designed to
act as a deterrent, using
static correction
to condition pets to
remain outside of the established barrier area. It is important that
you reinforce training with your pet on a regular basis. Since the
tolerance level to
static correction
varies from pet to pet, Radio
Systems Corporation CANNOT guarantee that the system will in
all cases keep a pet outside of the established barrier area. Not all
pets can be trained to avoid entering the barrier area. Therefore, if
you have reason to believe that your pet may harm himself or pose
a danger to others if he is not kept from entering the barrier area,
you should NOT rely solely upon this system to restrict your pet.
Radio Systems Corporation shall NOT be liable for any personal
injuries, property damage, injury to or death of your pet, economic
loss or any consequential damages sustained as a result of any
animal entering the barrier area.
To prevent an unintended correction, do not perform set up
procedures while the receiver collar is on your pet.
- If you are using a collar and leash for training, be sure the
extra collar does not put pressure on the contact points
of the receiver collar.

To avoid damage to the transmitter do not use on wet
surfaces, in damp or wet locations or around swimming
pools. This product is designed for indoor use only. Do not
expose to rain or snow.

How the System Works
The PetSafe® Indoor Radio Fence® can keep your pet out of a certain room,
away from a trash can or o of a piece of furniture. Just place the barrier
transmitter near the area that your pet should avoid. The barrier transmitter
sends a spherical radio signal that covers a radius between 2 and 10 ft.
Your pet wears a receiver collar (not included) with contact points that
touch his neck. When your pet enters the barrier area, he will hear a series of
audible tones from the receiver collar, and he will feel a safe static correction,
delivered through the contact points on his neck. The static correction will
get his attention, but will not cause harm. The correction continues until your
pet leaves the barrier area. If your pet doesn’t leave, the collar will continue to
correct until the collar times out.

Operating Guide
STEP 1
Install the Barrier Transmitter
The barrier transmitter emits a radio signal from all sides in a spherical
pattern. The signal will transmit through a wall or the ceiling/oor. The barrier
transmitter is designed to be placed laying at on a surface.
Do not:
• Place the barrier transmitter on metal surfaces.
• Place the barrier transmitter near large metal objects such as refrigerators,
washing machines, etc.
• Place the barrier transmitter near audio speakers.
To avoid damage to the transmitter do not use on wet surfaces, in damp
or wet locations or around swimming pools. This product is designed for
indoor use only. Do not expose to rain or snow.

Set Up the Barrier Transmitter
To prevent an unintended correction, never perform setup
procedures while your pet is wearing the receiver collar.
1. Plug the power adapter into the power jack and a standard 120 volt outlet.
2. Adjust the dial clockwise from 2 to 8. The power light will turn red
indicating that the unit is turned on.
3. You can create a barrier area from 2 ft. in radius up to 10 ft. in radius by
adjusting the dial from 2 (minimum range) to 8 (maximum range).
