• This PetSafe®Wireless Pet Containment
System™is NOT a solid barrier. The system is
designed to act as a deterrent to remind pets
by Static Correction to remain in the boundary
established. 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 within the established
boundary. Not all pets can be trained to avoid
crossing the boundary! Therefore, if you have
reason to believe that your pet may pose a
danger to others or harm himself if he is not

kept from crossing the boundaries, you should
NOT rely solely upon the PetSafe®Wireless
Pet Containment System™to confine your pet.
Radio Systems®Corporation shall NOT be
liable for any property damage, economic loss
or any consequential damages, sustained as a
result of any animal crossing the boundary.
• 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.
