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.
• 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.
• The PetSafe®350 m & 900 m Deluxe Remote Trainers are not toys. Keep
away from the reach of children. Use it only for its training purpose.
• Safety during on-lead training. It is vitally important that you and your dog remain
safe while learning during on-lead training. Your dog should be on a strong lead, long
enough for him to attempt to chase an object, but short enough for him not to reach a
road or other unsafe area. You must also be physically strong enough to restrain your dog
when he tries to chase.

Risk of skin damage. 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.
PetSafe®Remote Trainers must be used only on healthy dogs. We recommend that you take
your dog to a veterinarian before using the collar if he is not in good health.

How the System Works
Now you can experience the difference a Remote Trainer can make. The PetSafe®350 m & 900 m
Deluxe Remote Trainers are comfortable for your pet and easy to use with an advanced digital
display that tells you exactly what level of stimulation you are using.
The Remote Trainer assists you in controlling your pet without a lead in a range of either 350 metres
or 900 metres. The Handheld Remote sends a signal activating your dog’s Receiver Collar. He
receives a safe but annoying stimulation. He’ll quickly learn the association between his behaviour
and your training; in no time, you’ll have a better-behaved pet. The PetSafe®350 m & 900 m
Deluxe Remote Trainers have been proven safe, comfortable, and effective for both small and large
dog breeds.
Important: The 350 m & 900 m Deluxe Remote Trainers have a range
of up to 350 metres or 900 metres. Depending on the way you hold
the Handheld Remote, the maximum range may vary. Terrain, weather,
vegetation, transmission from other radio devices, and other factors will
affect the maximum range.
Key Definitions
Handheld Remote: Transmits the signal to the Receiver Collar. It is waterproof.
Digital Display
Level of Stimulation: Shows Dog 1 or Dog 2 level of stimulation
(Low-1 to High-15). Also indicates +2 Boost.
Dog 1: The active Receiver Collar symbol will display to indicate
Dog 1.
Dog 2: Dog 1 and Dog 2 symbols will be displayed (additional
purchase required for 2-Dog system).
