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.

How the System Works

The PetSafe® Pawz Away® Indoor Pet Barrier keeps your pet away from a
certain room, away from trash, off of furniture, etc. Just place the Barrier
Transmitter near the area your pet should avoid. The Barrier Transmitter
sends a spherical radio signal, reaching up to 12 feet in diameter or a 6 foot
radius. Your pet wears a Receiver Collar (not included) with Contact Points
that touch his neck. When your pet enters the Barrier Area, he’ll hear a series
of audible tones from the Receiver Collar and he will feel a safe Progressive
Static Correction, delivered through the Contac t Points on his neck. The
Progressive Static Correction will get his attention, but will not cause harm.
The correction continues until your pet leaves the Barrier Area. The PetSafe
Pawz Away
effective for pets at least 6 months old and over 5 pounds.

Operating Guide

Step

Install the Barrier Transmitter

The Barrier Transmitter emits a radio signal from all sides in a spherical
pattern. The signal may transmit through a wall or the ceiling/floor. The

1

Barrier Transmitter can be placed laying flat on a surface or hung on a
wall. If you choose to hang the Barrier Transmitter, note that the signal
becomes very directional—the signal will be strongest directly in front
of and behind the unit. The signal is weakest to the side of the unit.

Do not:

• Hang unit on a metal wall

• Place Barrier Transmitter on metal surfaces

• Place Barrier Transmitter near large metal objects such as

refrigerators, washers, etc.

• Place Barrier Transmitter near audio speakers
To keep the Barrier Transmitter in place on smooth surfaces, place the

four grip pads to the bottom of the unit.

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.
