How the SystemWorks
The PetSafe
®
100 mTrainer has been proven safe, comfortable, and effective for all pets at least 6
months old.This system assists you in controlling your pet without a lead in a range up to 100 metres.
At the push of a button, the RemoteTransmitter sends a signal, activating the Receiver Collar. Using
the RemoteTrainer consistently and correctly, many misbehaviours that your
pet exhibits can be corrected or any basic obedience commands can be taught.
PetSafe
®
Trainers should not be used by persons under 16 years of age.
Important:The 100 mTrainer has a range of up to 100 metres.
Depending on the way you hold the RemoteTransmitter, the
maximum range may vary. For consistent results at longer ranges,
hold the RemoteTransmitter 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 Definitions
RemoteTransmitter:Transmits the radio signal to the Receiver 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 Stimulation Levels so you can match the correction to your pet’s
temperament.
Upper Button: Delivers an AudibleTone for one second then Continuous Stimulation at the level set by
the Intensity Dial.
Lower Button: Delivers an AudibleTone for one second then Continuous Stimulation at a level slightly
higher than the Intensity Dial. Note:This button will not deliver Stimulation higher than level 8. For example,if
the Intensity Dial is set to 8,pushing the Lower Button will not deliver a higher Stimulation Level.
Side Button:Delivers an AudibleTone only.
Charging Jack: For connecting the charger.Although the RemoteTransmitter is waterproof without the
charger cover, keep the cover in place when not charging to keep debris out of the opening.
Receiver Collar:Receives the radio signal from the RemoteTransmitter. It is waterproof.
On/Off Button: Momentarily pressing and releasing 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 Receiver Collar has been turned on or off and also serves as
a low-battery indicator.
Continuous Stimulation:You control when and how long Stimulation is delivered to your pet through
the Receiver Collar’s Contact Points. Before the Stimulation, your pet will hear an AudibleTone. For safety,
when the Upper or Lower Button is pressed for 8 seconds or more, the RemoteTransmitter will “time-out.”
The button will need to be released and pressed again before additional Stimulation can be delivered.
AudibleTone: Use the Side Button to send anAudibleTone to your pet without Stimulation.

Transmitter Rechargeable Battery Pack
•The rechargeable Nickel Metal Hydride (NiMH) battery pack in theTransmitter is not
memory sensitive and does not require depletion before charging.
•TheTransmitter comes partially charged from the factory, but will require a full charge
(24 hours) before the first use.
• Remember - Always keep theTransmitter away from flame.
•When storing the unit for long periods, remember to regularly give theTransmitter 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
Transmitter charging 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 first few uses.Afterwards, the battery life will return to
previous capacity levels.
•You should expect hundreds of recharge cycles from your battery pack. 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 Centre to purchase a new battery pack.
• The battery pack should last for a period of 3-5 years.When a battery pack needs replacement,
you can order a new pack by contacting our Customer Care Centre or visit our website at www.
petsafe.net. Please do not open the RemoteTransmitter until you have received the replacement.

ToTurn the Receiver Collar On:
1. Press and hold the On/Off Button until the Receiver Indicator Light comes on and
the Receiver Collar beeps 5 times.
2. Release the On/Off Button.
Once the Receiver Collar has been turned on, press the Side Button of the Remote
Transmitter.The Receiver Collar should beep for as long as the Side Button is pressed.
If it does not, see the “Reset the Receiver Collar” section.
The Receiver Indicator Light will flash once every 4 to 5 seconds if the batteries are low.
ToTurn the Receiver Collar Off:
1. Press and hold the On/Off Button until the Receiver Indicator Light comes on and
the Receiver Collar beeps 2 times.

_____________________________________________________________
Fit the Receiver Collar
Important:The proper fit and placement of your Receiver Collar is important
for effective training.The Contact Points must have direct contact with your
pet’s skin on the underside of his neck.
To assure a proper fit, please follow these steps:
1. Have your pet standing comfortably (3A).
2. Centre the Contact Points underneath your pet’s neck, touching
the skin (3B). If your pet has a long or thick coat, use the enclosed
long Contact Points to reach through the hair. Note:It is sometimes
necessary to trim the hair around the Contact Points to make sure that
contact is consistent.
3A
3.The Receiver Collar should fit snugly, yet
loose enough to allow one finger to fit
between the collar and your pet’s neck (3C).
4.Allow your pet to wear the collar for several
minutes then recheck the fit. Check the fit
again as your pet becomes more comfortable
with the Receiver Collar. If your pet’s neck is
less than 300 mm around, you will need to
thread the part of the collar which includes
the antenna through the buckle. It will be a
tight fit.
5.Trim the collar as follows (3D):
a. Mark the desired length of the collar with a
pen.Allow for growth if your pet is young
or grows a thick winter coat.
3B
3C

b. Remove the Receiver Collar from your pet
and cut off the excess. Important: Do not
cut the part of the collar containing the
Antenna.
c. Before placing the Receiver Collar back
onto your pet,seal the edge of the cut collar
by applying a flame along the frayed edge.
Care and Cleaning
For comfort, safety, and effectiveness of this
product, please ensure that you check the fit of
3D
your pet’s collar frequently.This Guide describes proper collar fitting. If any skin
irritation is observed, discontinue the 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 pet’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.
To Re-Thread the Collar
Slide Buckle
Ridges
The slide buckle prevents the collar from
becoming loose around your pet’s neck.
The ridges must be facing up; the collar will
slip if it is not properly threaded.

Find the Best Stimulation Level
forYour Pet
Important: Always start at the lowest Stimulation Level and work your way up.
The RemoteTrainer has 8 different Stimulation Levels.This allows you to choose the
Stimulation that is best for your pet.
Once you have placed the Receiver Collar on your pet, it is time to find the Stimulation
Level that is best for him.This is called the Recognition Level.
A slight change in your pet’s behaviour, such as looking around in curiosity,scratching
at his collar, or flicking his ears, indicates the Recognition Level that is best for him.
Follow the steps below to find your pet’s Recognition Level:
1. Starting at Level 1 on the Intensity Dial,press the Upper Button continuously for 1
to 2 seconds.
2. If your pet shows no reaction,repeat the Stimulation Level several times before
moving up to the next level.
3. Repeat each Stimulation Level several times before moving to the next level.
4. Move up through the Stimulation Levels until your pet reliably responds to the
Stimulation.
5. If your pet continues to show no response at Level 8, check the fit of the Receiver
Collar. If your pet has long or thick hair, replace the Contact Points with the longer
set.Then go back to #1 and repeat the process. If this still does not yield any results,
your pet’s hair will need to be trimmed around the Contact Points.
If all of these steps have been done and your pet continues to show no reaction to the
Stimulation, see the “Test Light Instructions” section.
If after completing all of these steps your pet still does not indicate he is feeling the
Stimulation, please contact Customer Care Centre or visit our website at
www.petsafe.net.
_____________________________________________________________
Reset the Receiver Collar
To reset the Receiver Collar to work with a new RemoteTransmitter or to reprogram a
new Receiver Collar to work with your existing RemoteTransmitter:
1.Turn the Receiver Collar off.
2. Press and hold the On/Off Button until the Receiver Indicator Light comes on and
the Receiver Collar beeps 5 times.
3. Continue to hold the On/Off button until the Receiver Indicator Light has turned off.
4. Press and hold the Upper Button on the RemoteTransmitter until the Receiver
Indicator Light flashes 5 times.You may need to hold both units 2-3 feet from each
other before this occurs. Once the Receiver Indicator Light has flashed five (5) times,
the Receiver Collar has been reset. If the Receiver Indicator Light does not flash 5
times, start again and repeat the process.

Training Guide
GeneralTips
• Eliminate one misbehaviour or teach one obedience command at a time. If you move too fast
with the training, your pet may become confused.
• Be consistent. Give your pet an AudibleTone or Stimulation with each misbehaviour.
• Do not over-correct your pet. Use as few Stimulations as possible to train your pet.
• Unless you can supervise him, it is recommended that you restrict your pet from situations in
which he has a history of misbehaving. However, setting up a situation as a training session can
dramatically improve your chances of success.
• If your pet reacts to the training by hiding or acting fearful, redirect his attention to a simple and
appropriate behaviour such as the “Sit” command.
•The Lower Button can be used to deliver a slightly higher Stimulation Level on occasions when
your pet ignores his Recognition Level. Using this button is a quicker alternative than adjusting
the Intensity Dial.
• Never use the RemoteTrainer to correct or eliminate any form of aggressive behaviour. If you
are unsure if your pet is aggressive, please consult your veterinarian or a certified trainer.
•The objective is to train your pet to respond to your spoken command and theAudibleTone
from the receiver in normal circumstances.After proper training, the use of Stimulation should
only be necessary if your pet repeats unwanted behaviour.
____________________________________________________________________
Teaching Basic Obedience
Note:Keep your pet close to you while teaching the“Sit”command.
The “Sit” Command
1. Put a separate, non-metallic collar on your pet’s neck ABOVE the Receiver Collar, and attach a
3 metre lead. Note:Be sure the extra collar does not put pressure on the Contact Points.
2. Hold your lead and RemoteTransmitter in one hand. Press and hold the Side Button to send
an AudibleTone to your pet while saying “Sit” and if necessary using your free hand to guide
your pet into a “Sit” position. Release the Side Button immediately when your pet sits. Repeat
this several times.
3. If your pet sits reliably on receiving the AudibleTone and the spoken “Sit” command, then
training is complete. Release your pet from the “Sit” position and praise him. If not, move on to
Step 4.
