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 with the safety alert symbol, indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided,
could result in minor or moderate 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 practices not related to personal injury.
• Not for use with aggressive dogs. Do not use this product if your dog is aggressive or if your dog is prone to aggressive
behaviour. Aggressive dogs can cause severe injury. If you are not sure that this product is right for your dog, please talk to
your veterinarian or a certified trainer.
• Underground cables can carry high voltage. Have all underground cables marked before you dig to bury your wire. In most
areas, this is a free service.
• Do not install, connect, or remove your system during a lightning storm. If the storm is close enough for you to hear thunder, it
is close enough to create hazardous surges.
• Follow all safety instructions for your power tools. Be sure to always wear your safety goggles.
• Risk of electric shock. Use the Fence Transmitter indoors in a dry location only.
WARNING: Button or coin cell battery inside.
• Swallowed lithium batteries can cause internal chemical burns quickly (within 2 hours) and can lead to death. Dispose of
spent batteries immediately. Keep ALL batteries away from children. If swallowed, seek immediate medical attention.
• Do not attempt to cut into or pry open the battery. Be sure to discard any used battery properly.
• Never incinerate, puncture, deform, short-circuit or charge with an inappropriate charger. Fire, explosion, property damage
or bodily harm may occur if this warning is not followed.
• There is a risk of explosion if a battery is replaced by an incorrect type. Do not short circuit, mix old and new batteries,
dispose of in fire or expose to water. When batteries are stored or disposed, they must be protected from shorting
• Risk of injury. Wire on top of the ground may be a trip hazard. Use care in how you place your wires.
• This product is not a toy. Keep it out of the reach of children.
• This PetSafe®In-Ground Fence™ System is NOT a solid barrier. It is designed to act as a deterrent to remind pets to remain
within the established boundary by use of static stimulation. It is important that you reinforce training with your pet on a
regular basis. Since the tolerance level to static stimulation 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 boundary, you should NOT rely solely upon this 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.
For additional information on bed sores and pressure necrosis, please visit our website.
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.
• You should not make the collar any tighter than is required for good contact. A collar that is too tight will increase the risk of
pressure necrosis in the contact area.
• Proper training of your pet is essential to the success of the PetSafe®In-Ground Fence™System. During the first 2 weeks of
training, do not use the training device on your pet without direct supervision.
• The Receiver Collar should not be on your dog when the system is tested. Your pet may receive an unintended stimulation.
• The Boundary Width of the system must be tested whenever an adjustment is made to the containment field to prevent
unintended stimulations to your pet.
• Always remove your dog’s Receiver Collar before performing any Transmitter testing.
• If possible, do not use an outlet protected with a residual current device (RCD) or ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI). The
fence system will function properly, but in rare cases, nearby lightning strikes may cause the RCD or GFCI to trip. Without
power, your pet may be vulnerable to escape. You will have to reset the RCD or GFCI to restore power to the system.
• Before you begin installing the Boundary Wire, unplug the Fence Transmitter power adaptor from the outlet.
• Avoid damage to the insulation of the loop wire during the install; damage may cause areas of weak signal and lead to
early failure of the loop (wire breaks).
• Use care when mowing or trimming your grass not to cut the loop wire.
• For added protection for the Fence Transmitter when unused for long periods of time or prior to thunderstorms, disconnect
the Loop Boundary Wires and unplug the Power Adaptor from the outlet. This will prevent damage to the Transmitter due to
surges.

How the System Works
A radio signal travels from the Fence Transmitter through a buried wire, marking the boundaries you wish to set for your dog.
Your dog wears a Receiver Collar that detects the signal at the boundary. As your dog approaches the boundary, the Receiver
Collar issues a warning tone. If he proceeds further, he receives a safe but startling Static Stimulation. While harmless, the
stimulation will persuade him to stay in the containment area you’ve established. Boundary flags are a temporary visual aid for
your pet; remove them after training. This PetSafe®In-Ground Fence™System has been proven safe, comfortable, and effective
for pets over 3.6 kg.
Key Definitions
Fence Transmitter: Transmits the radio signal through the Boundary Wire.
Pet Area: Area within the Warning Zone where your pet can roam freely.
Warning Zone: Outer edge of the Pet Area where your pet’s Receiver Collar begins to beep, warning him not to go into the
Static Stimulation Zone.
Static Stimulation Zone: Zone beyond the Warning Zone where your pet’s Receiver Collar will emit a Static Stimulation,
signalling him to return to the Pet Area.
Boundary Width: Combination of the Warning Zone and the Static Stimulation Zone.
Receiver Collar: Receives the radio signal from the Boundary Wire.
Stimulation Level Button: Adjusts the level of Static Stimulation your pet receives in the Static Stimulation Zone.
Receiver Indicator Light: Indicates the level of stimulation at which the Receiver Collar is set. This light also serves as a low
battery indicator.
Contact Points: Deliver the safe Static Stimulation when your pet moves into the Static Stimulation Zone.
Power Jack: Where the Power Adaptor plugs into the Fence Transmitter.
Boundary Control Switch: Switch located on the Fence Transmitter to adjust according to the length of Boundary Wire used.
Boundary Wire Terminals: Where the Boundary Wires connect to the Fence Transmitter in order to complete a
continuous loop.
Loop Indicator Light: Indicates that the Boundary Wire makes a complete loop, enabling the signal to be transmitted.
Boundary Width Control: Adjusts the width of the Warning and Static Stimulation Zones. Note: Adjusting the knob does not
change the level of Static Stimulation on the Receiver Collar.

Operating Guide
STEP 1
Locate the Fence Transmitter
Place the Fence Transmitter:
• In a dry, well ventilated, protected area (1A, 1B).
• In an area where temperatures do not fall below freezing (e.g., garage, basement, shed).
• Secured to a stationary surface using the mounting hardware (not included). A mounting template is included in the back of
this guide.
• At least 1 m from large metal objects or appliances as these items may interfere with the signal consistency (1C).
Once you have mounted the Fence Transmitter, the Boundary Wire must exit the building. This can be accomplished via a
window or through a hole drilled through the wall. Ensure the drill path is clear of any utilities.
Make sure the Boundary Wire is not cut off or pinched by a window, door, or garage door, as this can damage it over time and
create a wire break. To prevent fires and electrical hazards, install the Fence Transmitter in buildings that are in accordance with
state and local electrical codes.
Risk of Electric Shock. Use the Fence Transmitter indoors in a dry location only.

STEP 2
Lay Out the System
Basic Planning Tips
Underground cables can carry high voltage. Have all underground cables marked before you dig to
bury your wire. In most areas, this is a free service. For information regarding how these underground wires can affect your
system’s operation, see Step 3 “Position the Boundary Wire”.
• The Boundary Wire MUST start at the
Fence Transmitter and make a continuous
loop back (2A).
• Design a layout that is suitable for your
property. Sample layouts are provided in
this section, and a grid for designing your
layout is provided in the back of this guide.
• Twisting two sides of the Boundary Wire
cancels the signal and allows your pet to
cross over that area safely. Plastic or metal
piping will not cancel the signal. Twist
the Boundary Wire 30 times per metre to
cancel the signal (2A).
• Always use gradual turns at the corners
with a minimum 1 m radius, to produce a
more consistent boundary (2B). Do not
use sharp turns, as this will cause gaps in
your boundary.
• To properly contain your pet, we recommend setting a Boundary Width for the Warning and Static Stimulation Zones to
approximately 4 m - 7 m (2.5 m to 3.5 m on each side of the wire).
• Avoid making passageways too narrow for your pet to move about freely (e.g., along the sides of a house).
• The Receiver Collar can be activated inside the house if the Boundary Wire runs along the outside wall of the house. If this
occurs, remove your pet’s Receiver Collar before bringing him inside, decrease the range using the Boundary Width Control
knob or consider an alternative layout.
Sample Layouts
Sample 1: Perimeter Loop (Single Loop) The
Perimeter Loop is the most common layout. This will
allow your pet to freely and safely roam your entire
property (2C). It can also protect flower gardens and
landscaping (2D).

Sample 2 (2E): Perimeter Loop Using Existing Fence (Single Loop)
This layout allows you to include your existing fence as part of your layout and keep your pet
from jumping out or digging under your existing fence. It reduces the amount of wire which
will need to be buried. From the Fence Transmitter, run the wire to A, Ato B, B to C, C to
D, D to E, E to A, twist the wires from Aback to the Fence Transmitter. See the “Install the
Boundary Wire” section for more information on attaching the wire to a fence.
Double Loop
A Double Loop must be used when you are not establishing the Boundary Zone on all sides of your property.
When using a Double Loop, the Boundary Wire must be separated by a minimum of 1.5 m to avoid cancelling the signal.
Remember that a Double Loop will require twice as much wire.
Sample 3 (2F): Front or Back Property Only
(Double Loop)
From the Fence Transmitter, run the wire to A, A to B, B to
C, C to D, D to E, E to F, make a U-turn and follow your
path all the way back to A, keeping the wire separated
1.5 m. Twist the wire from Aback to the Fence Transmitter.
Sample 4 (2G): Front Boundary Only
(Double Loop)
From the Fence Transmitter, run the wire to A, A to B,
B back to Akeeping the wire separated 1.5 m. Twist
the wire from A back to the Fence Transmitter.
Sample 5 (2H): Lake Access (Double Loop)
From the Fence Transmitter, run the wire to A, A to
B, make a U-turn and go to C, C to D, D to E, make
a U-turn and follow your path all the way back to A
keeping wire separated 1.5 m. Twist the wire from A
back to the Fence Transmitter.
Sample 6 (2I): Wire Loop Attached to Existing Fence (Double Loop)
This layout allows you to include your existing fence as part of your layout and keep your
pet from jumping out or digging under your existing fence. It reduces the amount of wire
which will need to be buried. Run the wire from the Fence Transmitter to A, A to B, B to C,
Cto D, D to E, E to F, make a U-turn and follow your path all the way back to A, keeping
the wire separated 1.5 m. Twist the wire from A back to the Fence Transmitter. See the

STEP 3
Position the Boundary Wire
Risk of injury. Wire on top of the ground may be a trip hazard. Use care in how you place your wires.
Lay out the Boundary Wire using your planned boundary and test the system BEFORE burying the wire or
attaching it to an existing fence. This will make any layout changes easier. Work carefully. A nick in the
wire insulation can diminish the signal strength and create a weak area where your pet can escape.
Running the Boundary Wire parallel to and within 3 m of electrical wires, neighbouring
containment systems, telephone wires, television or antenna cables, or satellite dishes may
cause an inconsistent signal. If you must cross any of these, do so at 90-degree angles
(perpendicularly) (3A).
If separating the wire by at least 3 m from a neighbouring containment system’s wire does not
reduce the inconsistent signal, contact the Customer Care Centre.
To Twist the Boundary Wire
Twisting the Boundary Wire cancels the
signal and allows your pet to cross over
that area without receiving a stimulation
(3B). To ensure the signal is cancelled,
it is recommended that you cut and
splice the Boundary Wire between
each twisted section. The signal cannot
be cancelled by running the wire
through plastic or metal piping. Splicing
shielded cable to the Boundary Wire
will also not cancel the signal. Refer to
figure (3C) for the correct method for
twisting the wire. You can twist your
own wire by cutting two equal lengths
of Boundary Wire supplied and twisting
them together. Anchor one end of the
wires to something secure and insert the
other end in a power drill. Pull the wire taut. The drill enables you to twist the wire quickly. Twist the Boundary Wire 30 times per
metre to cancel the signal. Once you have completed your boundary layout, insert the twisted wire into the transmitter.

To Splice or Repair the Boundary Wire
If you need additional Boundary Wire to
expand your wire loop, you will need to splice
the wires together. Note the locations of all
splices for future reference. Most Boundary
Wire breaks occur at splices.
Strip approximately 1 cm of insulation off the
ends of the Boundary Wires to be spliced (3D).
Make sure the copper Boundary Wire is not
corroded. If the Boundary Wire is corroded, cut
it back to expose clean copper wire.
Insert the stripped ends into the wire connector
and twist the wire connector around the wires.
Ensure that there is no copper exposed beyond the end of the wire connector. Tie a knot 7.5 cm - 10 cm from the wire connector
(3E). Ensure that the wire connector is secure on the wire splice.
Once you have securely spliced the wires together, open the lid of the gel-filled splice capsule and insert the wire connector
as deeply as possible into the waterproof gel inside the capsule (3F). Snap the lid of the capsule shut (3G). For proper system
performance, the splice connection must be waterproof.
If your splice pulls loose, the entire system will fail. Make sure your splice is secure. Additional gel-filled splice capsules and wire
connectors are available through the Customer Care Centre.
Additional Boundary Wire
Extra direct burial Boundary Wire can be purchased in 150 m
spools at the store where you purchased the kit or through the
Customer Care Centre.
Note: When adding Boundary Wire, it must act as a continuous loop.
The table at right indicates the approximate length of Boundary Wire
needed for a square, Single Loop layout. Length will vary due to the
amount of twisted wire and layout used. Remember that a Double Loop
will require twice as much wire.

STEP 4
Connect the Wires to the Fence Transmitter
1. Run the Boundary Wire to the Fence Transmitter through a window, under a
door, through a crawl space vent, or any other appropriate available access.
You can also drill a hole through your wall.
2. Strip approximately 1 cm of insulation from the ends of the Boundary Wire.
3. Press the red tabs on the Fence Transmitter and insert the stripped wire ends
into the Boundary Wire Terminals. Make sure the wires do not touch each other
at the terminals.
4. Turn the Boundary Width Control knob to 10. This will set the Warning Zone at
the maximum width.
5. Plug the power jack into the transmitter and the Power Adaptor into a
working outlet.
6. The Power Light and Loop Indicator Lights should come on. If this does not
happen, see the “Troubleshooting” section.
• Do not install, connect, or remove your system during a lightning storm. If the storm is close enough for you to hear thunder,
it is close enough to create hazardous surges.
• Risk of electric shock. Use the fence transmitter indoors in a dry location only.
If possible, DO NOT use an outlet protected with a Residual Current Device (RCD) or Ground Fault Circuit
Interrupter (GFCI). The fence system will function properly, but in rare cases, nearby lightning strikes may cause the RCD or
GFCI to trip. Without power, your pet may be vulnerable to escape. You will have to reset the RCD or GFCI to restore power
to the system.
For added protection for the Fence Transmitter when unused for long periods of time or prior to thunderstorms,
disconnect the Loop Boundary Wires and unplug the Power Adaptor from the outlet. This will prevent damage to the
Transmitter due to surges.

STEP 5
Prepare the Receiver Collar
There are two sets of Contact Points that can be used on your Receiver Collar. Your Receiver
Collar comes with the short Contact Points installed. The longer Contact Points should be used
on dogs with long hair. Tighten the Contact Points using Test Light Tool (5A) one-half turn
beyond finger tight. Check the tightness weekly.
To Insert and Remove the Battery
Note: Do not install the battery while the Receiver Collar is on your pet.
This Receiver Collar utilises a replaceable PetSafe®battery (RFA-67D-11). This unique battery
is designed to make battery replacement easier and increase water protection.
To insert the battery, align the symbols on the battery (arrow) and Receiver Collar (triangle)
(5B). Use the edge of the Test Light Tool to turn the battery clockwise until the arrow lines up
with the lock symbol on the housing.
To remove the battery, turn the battery anti-clockwise using the edge of the Test Light Tool
(5C). DO NOT attempt to cut into or pry open the battery. Be sure to discard the used
battery properly. Battery life will vary depending on how often your pet tests the system and
receives a Static Stimulation. Check the Receiver Collar every month to ensure the battery is
working properly.
If the Receiver Indicator Light is flashing every 4 to 5 seconds, battery replacement is
required. Remove the old battery from the Receiver Collar. Discharge all power by holding
the stimulation level button down until the LED light is no longer illuminated. Replace with a
new battery.
A replacement PetSafe®battery (RFA-67D-11) can be found at many retailers. Contact the Customer Care Centre or visit our
web site at petsafe.com to locate a retailer near you.
To Set the Static Stimulation Level
Read all steps before attempting to set the
Static Stimulation Level.
1. Remove the clear plastic cover with the Test Light Tool
to expose the Stimulation Level Button (5D).
2. With the battery installed, press the Stimulation Level
Button and release when the Receiver Indicator Light
turns on (5E).
3. The Receiver Indicator Light will emit a series of flashes
representing the Static Stimulation Level.
4. Increase the Static Stimulation Level by pressing and
releasing the Stimulation Level Button within 5 seconds
of the previous series of flashes.
5. After setting the Static Stimulation Level, replace the
cover to protect the Stimulation Level Button.
The Static Stimulation levels increase in strength from
1 to 5. Pressing the Stimulation Level Button while the
Receiver Collar is on level 5 will cause the Receiver Collar to revert to Level 1. Refer to the Function and Response Table to
choose the Static Stimulation level that best fits your pet.
The Receiver Collar is equipped to automatically increase the level of Static Stimulation the longer your pet remains in the Static
Stimulation Zone if the collar is set at level 2 or above.
The Receiver Indicator Light acts as a low battery indicator, flashing every 4 to 5 seconds when replacement is required.

Anti-Linger Prevention
The Anti-Linger Prevention feature keeps your dog from staying in the Warning Zone for long periods of time and draining the
Receiver Collar battery. Your dog will hear a warning tone when he reaches the Warning Zone. If your dog does not return to
the Pet Area after two seconds, he will receive a continuous Static Stimulation until he returns to the Pet Area.
Run Through Prevention
This system includes a unique “run-through” prevention so that your dog cannot escape the Pet Area without receiving an
increased level of Static Stimulation. The Receiver Collar automatically increases the Static Stimulation when your dog continues
more than 20% of the way through the pet fencing Boundary Width. For example, if the signal is detected 3 m from the wire
and your dog enters the Static Stimulation Zone, this feature is activated when he is approximately 2.5 m from the Boundary
Wire. Your dog will then receive a Static Stimulation that is at an increased level corresponding to the Static Stimulation level
setting on the Receiver Collar. The Receiver Collar is equipped to automatically increase the level of Static Stimulation the longer
your pet remains in the Static Stimulation Zone if the collar is set at level 2 or above. The Run Through Prevention sound is an
intermittent tone.
Over Stimulation Protection
In the unlikely event that your pet “freezes” in the Static Stimulation Zone, this feature limits the Static Stimulation duration to a
maximum of 30 seconds. While the system locks out further Static Stimulation, the warning tone will continue until the pet leaves
the Static Stimulation Zone.

STEP 6
Set the Boundary Width and Test the
Receiver Collar
With the Boundary Wire in place and properly connected, it is time to set the Pet Boundary Width and test the system.
The Receiver Collar should not be on your dog when the system is tested.
Note: The Receiver Collar is waterproof, which can make the tone hard to hear.
The flashing light indicates the Receiver Collar is delivering Static Stimulation. If you have difficulty
hearing the warning tone, use the flashing light to identify the Boundary Width. To best utilize the
automatic Run-Through Prevention feature, the containment Boundary Width should extend at least
2 m - 3.5 m on each side of the Boundary Wire (total Boundary Width of 4 m - 7 m).
1. Ensure the Supplied Power Adaptor is plugged in to the Fence Transmitter and the power light and
Loop Indicator Light are turned on.
2. Set the Boundary Width Control Switch (located on the side of the Fence Transmitter) (6A) to the
A, B, or C setting based on the total length of
Boundary Wire used. Setting B is used for most
properties. The following table indicates the
proper setting.
3. The Boundary Width is adjusted using the
transmitter’s Boundary Width Control knob. Turn
the knob anti-clockwise until the alarm sounds and
the Loop Indicator Light is no longer lit. Turn the knob clockwise and increase by 2 numbers. The alarm should turn OFF and
the light should turn ON.
The Receiver Collar should not be on your dog when the system is tested. Your pet may receive an
unintended stimulation.
4. Install the battery in the Receiver Collar. To identify the
Warning and Static Stimulation Zones make sure the
Receiver Collar is set at level 5 (see Step 5).
5. Test the Boundary Width of the system by selecting a
section of straight Boundary Wire that is at least 15 m.
Start inside the centre of the Pet Area.
6. Place the Test Light Tool Contacts on the Contact
Points of the Receiver Collar (6B, 6C). Hold the
Receiver Collar at your dog’s neck height with the
Contact Points pointing up (6D) and the PetSafe®
logo facing the Boundary Wire. Slowly walk toward
the Boundary Wire until you hear the warning tone
(6E). When you hear the warning tone, you have
identified the Boundary Width distance (Static
Stimulation Zone). Two seconds after the warning
tone, the Test Light will begin to flash. The flashing
light indicates the Receiver Collar is delivering Static
Stimulation. If you have difficulty hearing the
warning tone, use the flashing light to identify the
Boundary Width. To avoid having the Receiver
Collar go into Over stimulation Protection mode,
walk back into the Pet Area until the toning or
flashing stops. If the Receiver Collar does not tone at
the desired range, adjust the Boundary Width
Control knob to obtain the desired range. Turning
the Boundary Width Control knob clockwise

increases the Boundary Width while turning it
anti-clockwise decreases it (6F). Repeat this process
as needed until the Receiver Collar tones between 2
m - 3.5 m from the Boundary Wire. If using a
Double Loop layout, you may need to increase the
separation of the Boundary Wire and/or increase
the size of the Boundary Width to achieve the
desired range.
7. Test the Boundary Width in a number of different
locations around the Pet Area until you are satisfied
that the system is functioning properly.
8. Next, walk all around the Pet Area to ensure there
are no areas where the Receiver Collar may activate
from signals coupled onto buried wires or cables.
Test the Receiver Collar in and around the inside of
the house as well. As mentioned, cables and wires
from cable TV, electrical or telephone lines may
conduct pet fencing signals inside and outside the house that can activate the Receiver Collar accidentally. While rare, if this
occurs your Boundary Wire is probably too close to these outside lines and should be moved or modified as shown in Figure
3A.
9. To test the run-through prevention feature, walk towards the Boundary Wire. The Receiver Collar should tone and the
Test Light should flash brighter as you enter the run-through area (6G). If you are satisfied that your system is functioning
properly, you are ready to start burying the Boundary Wire. If the Receiver Collar did not tone or the Test Light did not flash,
see the “Troubleshooting” section.
STEP 7
Install the Boundary Wire
Underground cables can carry high voltage. Have all underground cables marked before you dig to
bury your wire. In most areas, this is a free service.
• Avoid damage to the insulation of the loop wire during the install. Damage may cause areas of weak signal and lead to
early failure of the loop (wire breaks).
• Before you begin installing the Boundary Wire, unplug the Fence Transmitter Power Adaptor from the outlet.
To Bury the Boundary Wire
Burying the Boundary Wire is recommended to protect it and prevent disabling the system.
1. Cut a trench 2.5 cm - 7.6 cm deep along your planned boundary.
2. Place the Boundary Wire into the trench maintaining some slack to allow it to expand and contract with
temperature variations.
3. Use a blunt tool such as a wooden paint stick to push the Boundary Wire into the trench. Be careful not to damage the
Boundary Wire insulation.

To Attach the Boundary Wire to an Existing Fence
The Boundary Wire can be attached to a chain link
fence, split rail fence or a wooden privacy fence. The
Boundary Wire can be attached as high as needed.
However, make sure the Boundary Width is set at a
high enough range for the pet to receive the signal.
If using a Double Loop with an existing fence at least
1.5 m tall, run the Boundary Wire on top of the fence
and return it on the bottom of the fence to get the 1.5 m
separation needed.
• Chain Link Fence (7A): Weave the Boundary
Wire through the links or use plastic quick ties.
• Wooden Split Rail or Privacy Fence (7A):
Use staples to attach the Boundary Wire. Avoid
puncturing the insulation of the Boundary Wire.
• Double Loop with an Existing Fence: Run the
Boundary Wire on top of the fence and return it on
the bottom of the fence to get the 1.5 m separation needed.
• Gate (Single Loop) (7B): Bury the Boundary Wire in the ground across the gate opening. Note: The signal is still active
across the gate. Your pet cannot pass through an open gate.
• Gate (Double Loop) (7B): Bury both Boundary Wires across the gate opening while keeping them 1.5 m apart.
To Cross Hard Surfaces (driveways, sidewalks, etc.)
Follow all safety instructions for your power tools. Be sure to always wear your safety goggles.
• Concrete Driveway or Sidewalk (7C):
Place the Boundary Wire in a convenient expansion
joint or create a groove using a circular saw
and masonry blade. Place the Boundary Wire
in the groove and cover with an appropriate
waterproofing compound. For best results, brush
away dirt or other debris before patching.
• Gravel or Dirt Driveway (7D): Place the
Boundary Wire in a PVC pipe or water hose to
protect the Boundary Wire before burying.

STEP 8
Place the Boundary Flags
The Boundary Flags are visual reminders for your pet of
where the Warning Zone is located.
1. Place the Test Light contacts on the Contact Points and
hold the Receiver Collar at your pet’s neck height with
the PetSafe®logo facing the Boundary Wire.
2. Walk towards the Warning Zone until the Receiver
Collar beeps (8A).
3. Place a Boundary Flag in the ground (8B).
4. Walk back into the Pet Area until the beeping stops.
5. Repeat this process around the Warning Zone until it is
marked with Boundary Flags every 3 m.
Note: If you cannot hear the beep, repeat the process
using the flashing light as an indicator. See Step 6 for
more information.
To prevent an unintended stimulation, after the Boundary Flags have been placed, be sure to set the Static
Stimulation on the Receiver Collar back to level 1 tone only.
STEP 9
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.
Please read and follow the instructions in this manual. 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 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.

To assure a proper fit, please follow these steps:
1. Make sure that the battery is not installed in the Receiver Collar.
2. Start with your pet standing comfortably (9A).
3. Place the Receiver Collar on your pet so that the PetSafe®logo is facing your pet’s chin.
Centre the Contact Points underneath your pet’s neck, touching the skin.
You may need to trim the hair in the area of the Contact Probes. Never shave the dog’s neck; this may lead
to a rash or infection.
4. Check the tightness of the Receiver Collar by inserting one finger between the end of
a Contact Point and your pet’s neck. The fit should be snug but not constricting (9B).
You should not make the collar any more tight than is required for good contact. A collar that is too tight will
increase the risk of pressure necrosis in the contact area.
5. 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.
6. Once you are satisfied with the fit of the Receiver Collar then you may trim any excess
collar strap as follows (9C):
a. Mark the desired length of the Receiver Collar with a pen. Allow for growth if your
pet is young or grows a thick winter coat.
b. Remove the Receiver Collar from your pet and cut off the excess.
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.
To Re-Thread the Collar
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.
To loosen: Slide the strap through the Slide and Fasten Buckles and pull down.
To tighten: Slide the strap up through the Fasten Buckle and pull through the
Slide Buckle.

Training Guide
Be Patient With Your Pet
Important: Proper training of your pet is essential to the success of the PetSafe®In-Ground Fence™System.
Read this section completely before beginning to train your pet. Remember that the PetSafe®In-Ground
Fence™System is not a solid barrier.
• Have fun with your pet throughout the training process. Training should be fun, fair, firm and consistent.
• Train for 10 to 15 minutes at a time. Don’t try to do too much too quickly. More-frequent short sessions are better than less-
frequent longer sessions.
• If your pet shows signs of stress, slow down the training schedule, add additional days of training, or increase the amount of
play time with your pet in the Pet Area. Common stress signals include:
• Pet pulling on lead toward the house
• Ears tucked
• Tail down
• Body lowered
• Nervous / frantic movement or stiffening of pet’s body
• Your pet must be completely comfortable near the Boundary Flags at the end of every training session. Spend at least 5
minutes of “play time” at the completion of each session within 3 m of the Boundary Flags.
• Finish each training session on a positive note with lots of praise and play.
• Remove the Receiver Collar after each training session.
• Be sure to contain your pet by another means during the training period (e.g. pen, tie-out, lead, etc.).
• During training, if you need to take your pet out of the Pet Area, remove the Receiver Collar and either pick your pet up or
put him in the car to pass out of the Pet Area.
• Even if you think your pet is responding well to the training, complete the entire training. Reinforcement is important!
PHASE 1
Day 1 - Boundary Awareness
Perform three training sessions per day, each lasting 10-15 minutes.
Goal:
To have your pet learn that the Boundary Flags and warning beep from the Receiver Collar defines the new Pet Area.
Setup:
• Program the Static Stimulation Level on the Receiver Collar to Level 1 Tone Only training mode.
• Put a separate non-metallic collar on your pet’s neck ABOVE the Receiver Collar and attach a lead.
Be sure the extra collar does not put pressure on the Contact Points.
• Have tiny pieces of treats that your pet will find desirable available.
• Have your pet’s favourite play toy available.
