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.
Risk of explosion. 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. Dispose of used batteries properly.
Not for use with aggressive dogs. Do not use this product if your dog is prone to
aggressive behaviour. 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 Stimulation 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 Stimulation 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.

Proper fit of the Receiver Collar is important. A Receiver 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 Receiver Collar on the pet for more than 12 hours per day.
• When possible reposition the Receiver 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 Receiver Collar; it will cause excessive pressure on the
Contact Points.
• When using a separate collar for a lead, don’t put pressure on the Receiver Collar.
• Wash the pet’s neck area and the Contact Points of the Receiver 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 Receiver 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 Receiver
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 pet’s
neck; this may lead to a rash or infection.
To prevent an unintended stimulation, do not perform set up procedures while the
Receiver Collar is on your pet.
If you are using a collar and lead for training, be sure the extra collar does not put
pressure on the Contact Points of the Receiver Collar.

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 a 0.76 metre radius. 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 Stimulation,
delivered through the Contact Points on his neck. The Progressive Static Stimulation will
get his attention, but will not cause harm. The stimulation continues until your pet leaves
the Barrier Area. If your pet doesn’t leave, the collar will continue to stimulate at the
maximum level from 3 seconds until the 15 second time-out. The PetSafe®Pawz Away™
Mini Pet Barrier has been proven safe, comfortable, and effective for pets at least 6
months old and 2.25 kg or more.

OPERATING GUIDE
STEP 1
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 Barrier Transmitter 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 speakers

STEP 2
Set Up the Barrier Transmitter
To prevent an unintended stimulation, never perform set-up procedures
while your pet is wearing the Receiver Collar.
1. With the back of the Barrier Transmitter facing up, rotate
back cover counter-clockwise, removing the back cover.
Install three (3) 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).
3. A second black bar in the bottom of the LCD display
indicates the range is set to one segment. Each segment represents approximately
13 cm from the unit. You can create a Barrier Area of 13 cm to 76 cm from the unit.
Using the (+) and (-) buttons, adjust the range to fit the desired pet Barrier Area.
* All Mini Pet Barriers and Receiver Collars are preset to mode A. For single pet
households, you will not need to operate the Barrier Transmitter in any mode other
than A. The A and B modes are for use in multiple pet households where you may
want one pet to be able to access an area while preventing access by another pet.
Please see the Additional Features section of this operating and training guide for
instructions on how to utilise modes A and B.
STEP 3
Test the Barrier Area
1. Keeping your hands away from the Contact Points,
use the edge of the Test Light Tool to turn the
receiver battery door to the ON (l) position.
2. Hold the Receiver Collar with the Contact Points
facing up and the PetSafe®logo facing the Barrier
Transmitter. Place the Test Light Tool on the Contact
Points so that the wire in the Test Light Tool touches
the Contact Points (3A).

3. Hold the Receiver Collar at the approximate height
of your pet’s neck (3B). Start outside of the range
and walk slowly toward the Barrier Transmitter. As
you reach the Barrier Area, the Receiver Collar
emits a series of high-pitched tones. For each tone
you hear, you should notice the Test Light flashing
which indicates that a Progressive Static Stimulation
is being delivered. The Receiver Collar’s tone is
easily heard by pets but may be at a volume level
difficult for some humans to hear.
4. Check the range of the Barrier Area from
multiple angles to ensure you are getting the
desired coverage.
Note: Should you find that you are not getting the desired range at the maximum setting,
move the Barrier Transmitter 30 cm, or change from its standing-on-end position to
laying flat. Metal objects can alter the magnetic field and change the transmitting signal
range. The effect on the range depends on the size and shape of the objects. Signal
range can be reduced if the Barrier Transmitter is placed on a concrete floor, due to
steel reinforcement in the concrete. For best range results, place the Barrier Transmitter
on a nonconductive surface (i.e., wood floor or table). Placing the Barrier Transmitter
beneath sofas and beds can reduce the range due to the metal springs altering the
magnetic field.
STEP 4
Fit the Receiver Collar on Your Pet
Important: Proper fit and placement of your Receiver Collar is necessary for effective
operation. The Contact Points must have direct contact with your pet’s skin on the
underside of his neck.

Proper fit of the Receiver Collar is important. A Receiver 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 Receiver Collar on the pet for more than 12 hours per day.
• When possible reposition the Receiver 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 Receiver Collar; it will cause excessive pressure on
the Contact Points.
• When using a separate collar for a lead, don’t put pressure on the
Receiver Collar.
• Wash the pet’s neck area and the Contact Points of the Receiver 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 Receiver Collar until the skin
has healed.
• If the condition persists beyond 48 hours, see your veterinarian.

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.
To assure a proper fit, please follow these steps:
1. Using the edge of the Test Light Tool, turn the battery door
to the OFF (O) position.
2. Start with your pet standing comfortably (4A).
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. If your pet
has a long or thick coat then it may be necessary to trim
the hair around the Contact Points to make sure that contact is consistent.
Note: The Receiver Collar comes with Short Contact Points. Long Contact Points are
available and can be purchased through the Customer Care Centre.

4. Adjust the tightness of the Receiver Collar
to fit your pet’s neck. 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 (4B).
5. Allow your pet to wear the Receiver
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 (4C):
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.
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.
