• This system is NOT a solid barrier. The system is designed to act as
a deterrent by using Static Correction to condition pets to remain
outside established off-limits areas. 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 out
of the established off-limits area. Not all pets can be trained not to
cross the boundary. 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 crossing the boundary, 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, economic
loss or any consequential damages sustained as a result of any
animal crossing the boundary.
• This product is not a toy. Keep it away from children. Use it only to
deter pets from particular areas.
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.

These steps will help keep your pet secure 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.
