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 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 safe use practices not related to personal injury.
Not for use with aggressive dogs. Do not use this product if your dog is prone to
aggressive behavior. Aggressive dogs can cause severe injury or death to their owners
and others. If you are not sure that this product is right for your dog, please talk to your
veterinarian or a certified trainer.
This System is NOT a solid barrier. The system is designed to act as a deterrent,
using Static Correction to condition pets to remain outside of the established barrier
area. 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 outside
of the established barrier area. Not all pets can be trained to avoid entering the barrier
area. 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 entering the barrier area, 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, injury to or death of your
pet, economic loss or any consequential damages sustained as a result of any animal
entering the barrier area.

How the System Works
The PetSafe®Pawz Away®Mini Pet Barrier keeps your pet away from a certain room,
away from trash, off of furniture, etc. Just place the Barrier Transmitter near the
area your pet should avoid. The Mini Pet Barrier transmits an elliptical radio signal
adjustable up to 5 feet. Your pet wears a Receiver Collar with Contact Points that
touch his neck. When your pet enters the Barrier Area, he’ll hear a series of audible
tones from the Receiver Collar and he will feel a safe Progressive Static Correction,
delivered through the Contact Points on his neck. The Progressive Static Correction
will get his attention, but will not cause harm. The correction continues until your pet
leaves the Barrier Area. The PetSafe®Pawz Away®Mini Pet Barrier has been proven
safe, comfortable, and effective for pets at least 6 months old and 5 pounds or more.

Operating Guide
Install the Barrier Transmitter
The Barrier Transmitter emits a radio signal from all sides in an elliptical
pattern. The signal may transmit through a wall or the ceiling/floor. The
Barrier Transmitter can be placed laying flat on a surface or hung on a
wall. If you choose to hang the Barrier Transmitter, note that the signal
becomes very directional—the signal will be strongest directly in front of
and behind the unit. The signal is weakest to the side of the unit.
Do not:
• Hang unit on a metal wall
• Place Barrier Transmitter on metal surfaces
• Place Barrier Transmitter near large metal objects such as refrigerators,
washers, etc.
• Place Barrier Transmitter near audio speakers

Set Up the Barrier Transmitter
To prevent an unintended correction, never perform set-up procedures while
your pet is wearing the Receiver Collar.
1. Turn over the Barrier Transmitter and rotate
back cover counter-clockwise, removing
the back cover. Install three AAA alkaline
batteries and replace the back cover. Turn
clockwise to secure cover.
2. Turn the Barrier Transmitter right side up
and press the (+) button once to turn ON
the Barrier Transmitter. A black bar in the
upper right hand corner of the LCD display
window indicates that the Barrier Transmitter
is set to mode A* (2A). A second black bar in
the bottom of the LCD display indicates the
range is set to one segment.
2A
3. Each segment represents approximately 5 inches from the unit. You
can create a Barrier Area of 5 inches to 30 inches from the unit. Using
the (+) and (-) buttons, adjust the range to fit the desired pet Barrier
Area.
