How the SystemWorks
The PetSafe
®
In-Ground Fence
™
has been proven safe, comfortable, and effective
for all pets over 6 months of age and those weighing up to 25 kg (55 lbs) with
neck sizes 15-66 cm (6”-26”).The system works by producing a radio signal from
the FenceTransmitter through up to 1200 m (4000 feet) of Boundary Wire.The
Boundary Wire is buried or attached to a fixed object to enclose the Pet Area.You
temporarily define the Pet Area with Boundary Flags for a visual aid in training
your pet.Your pet wears a Receiver Collar with Contact Points that touch his neck,
and, once trained, is allowed to roam freely in the Pet Area.When your pet reaches
the Warning Zone, the Receiver Collar gives a warning tone. If your pet continues
into the Static Correction Zone, a safe Static Correction will be delivered through
the Contact Points to get his attention until he returns to the Pet Area.

Prepare the Receiver Collar
To Insert and Remove
the Battery
Note: Do not install the battery
while the Receiver Collar is on
your pet.
This Receiver Collar utilizes
a replaceable PetSafe
®
battery
(RFA-188).This unique battery
is designed to make battery
replacement easier and increase
water protection.
To activate the collar, insert the
battery module (A). Using the
edge of the Test LightTool as
shown, turn the battery clockwise
until the vertical line on the
battery is pointed to the “ON”
position (B). If the PetSafe
®
Receiver Collar is not going to
be used on the pet immediately,
leave it in the “OFF” position.
AB
D
C
To remove the battery, turn the battery counter-clockwise using the edge of the Test
Light Tool as shown (C, D). DO NOT attempt to cut into or pry open the battery. Be
sure to discard the used battery properly.
A replacement PetSafe®battery can be found at many retailers. Contact the Customer
Care Centre or visit our website at www.petsafe.net to locate a retailer near you.

Two Colour LED
The two colour LED indicator shows good or
low battery. Good battery equals 1 flash every
60 seconds with Green LED. Low battery
equals 3 flashes every 60 seconds with the
Red LED. If there are no LED lights it is time
to change the battery.
To Set the Static Correction Level
Read all steps before attempting to set the
Static Correction Level.
1.With the battery installed, press the
Correction Level Button and release when
the Receiver Indicator Light lights
red (E).
2.The Receiver Indicator Light will emit a
E
F
number of red flashes representing the Static Correction Level (F).
3. Increase the Static Correction Level by pressing and releasing the
Correction Level Button within 5 seconds of the previous flashes.
The Static Correction Levels increase from 1 to 5. Pushing the Correction 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
Correction level that best fits your pet.
The Receiver Collar is equipped to automatically increase the level of Static
Correction the longer your pet remains in the Static Correction Zone if the
collar is set at level 2 or above.
The Receiver Indicator Light acts as a low battery indicator, flashing every 60
seconds when battery replacement is required.Test your Receiver Collar at least
once a month to verify that it is functioning properly. Check that it activates at the
Boundary Wire.
Over Correction Protection
In the unlikely event that your pet “freezes” in the Static Correction Zone, this
feature limits the static correction duration to 30 seconds.The system locks out
further static correction until the pet leaves the Static Correction Zone.

Fit the Receiver Collar
Important:The proper fit and placement
of your Receiver Collar is important for
effective operation.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. Make sure that the battery is not installed in
the Receiver Collar.
2. Have your pet standing comfortably (G).
YES
NO
G
3. Center the Contact Points underneath
your pet’s neck, touching the
skin (H).
Note: It is sometimes necessary to trim the
hair around the Contact Points to make
sure that contact is consistent.

4.The PetSafe®QuickFit™Collar is designed so you can quickly attach and
remove the Receiver Collar from your pet while maintaining the desired fit.
a.With the Snap Buckle
fastened (I), thread the
collar through the Metal
Buckle (J).
b. Slide the excess collar
through the “C” Loop
on top of the Snap
Buckle.This will hold
the excess collar in place.
IJ
c. Once the collar fit is determined, use the Snap
Buckle to remove and replace the collar.
5.The Receiver Collar should fit snugly, yet loose
enough to allow one finger to fit between a Contact
Point and your pet’s neck (K). 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. Trim the collar as follows:
K
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.
b. Remove the Receiver Collar from your pet and cut off excess.
Important: Do not attach a lead to the collar.This can result in pulling
the Contact Points too tightly against your pet’s neck. Attach a lead to
a separate, non-metallic collar or harness, making sure the extra collar
does not put pressure on the Contact Points.
Important: For comfort, safety and effectiveness of product, please
ensure the following:
• During the first 2 weeks of training, do not use the training device on
your pet without direct supervision.
• Check the fit of the Receiver Collar to prevent excessive pressure.You
should be able to insert one finger between the Contact Point and your
pet’s skin.
• Never leave the Receiver Collar on your pet for more than 12
consecutive hours.
• Your pet must be carefully examined daily for any signs of a rash or sore.
• If a rash or sore is observed, discontinue the use of the Receiver Collar
for a few days.
• If the condition persists beyond 48 hours, see your veterinarian.

www.petsafe.net 7
• Your pet’s neck and the Contact Points must be washed weekly with a
wash cloth and mild hand soap, then rinsed thoroughly.
A condition called Pressure Necrosis, which is a devitalization of
the skin due to excessive and prolonged contact against the Contact
Points, may occur if the steps above are not followed.
___________________________________________________________________
Taking Your Pet Out of the Pet Area
Important: Remove the Receiver Collar and leave it in the Pet Area.
Once your pet learns the Boundary Zone,
he will be reluctant to cross it for walks or
car rides.
Option 1: Replace the Receiver Collar with
a regular collar. Put your pet in a car that is
within the Pet Area and drive him out of the
Pet Area.
Option 2: Replace the Receiver Collar with
a regular collar and lead.Walk your pet out
of the Pet Area while giving a command such
as “OK” at a specific place of the Boundary
Zone (the end of your driveway, sidewalk,
etc.). Always leave the Pet Area with a lead at
this place and your pet will associate leaving
the Pet Area only on a lead, only at
this place, and only with a person.You may initially need to convince your pet
to leave the Pet Area with a food treat and lots of praise.
Note:You may also carry your pet out of the Pet Area.

• Repeat training steps to reinforce training.
• Purchase a stronger Receiver Collar by contacting the
Customer Care Centre.

Caution
The PetSafe®In-Ground Fence™is NOT a solid barrier. The system is
designed to act as a deterrent to remind pets by electric stimulation 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
electrical 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
boundaries, you should NOT rely solely upon the PetSafe®In-Ground Fence
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.
