Important Safety Information

Explanation of Attention Words and Symbols used in this guide

This is the safety alert symbol. It is used to alert you to potential personal injury hazards. Obey all safety messages that follow this symbol to avoid possible injury or death.

WARNING indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in death or serious injury.

CAUTION, used without the safety alert symbol, indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in harm to your pet.

NOTICE is used to address safe use practices not related to personal injury.

Not for use with aggressive dogs. Do not use this product if your dog is prone to aggressive behavior. Aggressive dogs can cause severe injury or death to their owners and others. If you are not sure that this product is right for your dog, please talk to your veterinarian or a certiﬁed trainer.

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.

Proper ﬁt of the collar is important. A collar worn for too long or made too tight on the pet’s neck may cause skin damage. Ranging from redness to pressure ulcers; this condition is commonly known as bed sores.

- Avoid leaving the collar on the dog for more than 12 hours per day.

- When possible reposition the collar on the pet’s neck every 1 to 2 hours.

- Check the ﬁt to prevent excessive pressure; follow the instructions in this manual.

- Never connect a lead to the electronic collar; it will cause excessive pressure on the contacts.

- When using a separate collar for a lead, don’t put pressure on the electronic collar.

- Wash the dog’s neck area and the contacts of the collar weekly with a damp cloth.

- Examine the contact area daily for signs of a rash or a sore.

- If a rash or sore is found, discontinue use of the collar until the skin has healed.

- If the condition persists beyond 48 hours, see your veterinarian.

- For additional information on bed sores and pressure necrosis, please visit our website.

These steps will help keep your pet safe and comfortable. Millions of pets are comfortable while they wear stainless steel contacts. Some pets are sensitive to contact pressure. You may ﬁnd after some time that your pet is very tolerant of the collar. If so, you may relax some of these precautions. It is important to continue daily checks of the contact area. If redness or sores are found, discontinue use until the skin has fully healed.

You may need to trim the hair in the area of the Contact Points. Never shave the dog’s neck; this may lead to a rash or infection.

• 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.

Operating and Training Guide

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 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 Contact 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® Indoor Pet Barrier has been proven safe, comfortable, and effective for pets at least 6 months old and 5 pounds or more.

Key Definitions

Barrier Transmitter: Transmits the wireless radio signal. Barrier Area: Area that you want to prevent your pet from gaining access to. Receiver Collar: Receives the radio signal from the Barrier Transmitter. Contact Points: Deliver the safe Progressive Static Correction when your pet enters the Barrier

Area. Progressive Static Correction: Static correction begins at the lowest level and automatically increases to maximum within 3 seconds of ﬁrst detection in the Barrier Area.
