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.
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.

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.
Key Definitions
Barrier Transmitter: Transmits the wireless radio signal
Barrier Area: Area that you want to prevent your pet from accessing
Contact Points: Deliver the safe Progressive Static Stimulation when your pet enters the Barrier Area
Progressive Static Stimulation: Static Stimulation begins at the lowest level and automatically increases to
maximum within 3 seconds of first detection in the Barrier Area. From 3 seconds until the 15 second time-out, the
collar will continue to correct at the maximum level until your pet leaves the Barrier Area.

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
Mode Features
Time Out Feature
For your pet’s safety, the Receiver Collar has a built in Time Out feature. If your pet stays in the Barrier Area for longer
than 15 seconds the Receiver Collar will stop delivering the Progressive Static Stimulation. The Receiver Collar will
then administer a random single Static Stimulation every 5 to 10 seconds at the maximum level until the pet leaves the
Barrier Area. Once your pet leaves the Barrier Area, the Receiver Collar resets itself and will deliver a Progressive
Static Stimulation the next time your pet enters the Barrier Area.
Mode A, B, and AB Feature
For multiple pet households, additional PetSafe®Pawz Away™Receiver
Collars can be purchased to work with one or more PetSafe®Pawz
Away™Mini Barrier Transmitters. You can set up an unlimited number of
Barrier Transmitters in your home and an unlimited number of Receiver
Collars can be used with one or more Barrier Transmitters. If you have
multiple pets, you may want to allow one pet access to an area while
denying access to another pet. With the purchase of additional Receiver
Collars and Barrier Transmitters, you can accomplish this by using the
Mode A and Mode B functions.
All PetSafe®Pawz Away™Mini Barrier Transmitters and Receiver Collars come preset to mode A. Each Receiver
Collar can operate in one of two different modes—A or B. Each Barrier Transmitter may be set to either A, B, or AB
mode to allow for multiple configurations.

When the Barrier Transmitter and Receiver Collar are set to mode A,
the Barrier Transmitter denies access to pets wearing a Receiver Collar
programmed to mode A. Receiver Collars set to mode B will not pick up the
signal from a Barrier Transmitter set to mode A.
When the Barrier Transmitter and Receiver Collar are set to mode B,
the Barrier Transmitter denies access to pets wearing a Receiver Collar
programmed to mode B. Receiver Collars set to mode A will not pick up the
signal from a Barrier Transmitter set to mode B.
When the Barrier Transmitter is set to mode AB, the Barrier Transmitter
denies access to all pets wearing Receiver Collars.
Programming the Mode Settings
All programming is done through the Barrier Transmitter and the programming is synchronised with the Receiver
Collar. The Receiver Collar cannot be programmed separately from the Barrier Transmitter.
You may synchronise multiple Receiver Collars to a single Barrier Transmitter at one time. However, make sure any
Receiver Collar you do not wish to synchronise is turned OFF (O) during the programming procedure. Any collar that
is within 75 cm of the Barrier Transmitter and turned ON (l) may be reprogrammed. Familiarize yourself with the steps
outlined before attempting to program the Barrier Transmitter and Receiver Collar.
To prevent an unintended stimulation, do not perform set up procedures while the Receiver Collar is
on your pet.
1. Gather the Receiver Collar(s) you wish to synchronise with the Barrier Transmitter. Turn the Receiver Collar(s) ON
(l) and place less than 30 cm from the Barrier Transmitter.
2. Turn the Barrier Transmitter OFF by pressing the (-) button until there are no bars
displayed in the LCD window. Remove the back cover.
3. The mode switch is located inside the transmitter and is preset to mode A.
Move the switch to the centre position for mode B or to the right position for
mode AB (4A). Once you have selected the desired mode, replace the
back cover.
Note: If you have selected mode AB you do not need to proceed with
programming the receiver in the next steps. Receiver Collars set to mode A
or mode B will each receive the radio signal from a Barrier Transmitter set
to mode AB.
4. To program the Receiver Collar to either mode A or mode B, press and hold the (-) button and then press the (+)
button for approximately 5 seconds. Programming is complete when you hear a series of three beeps from the
Receiver Collar.
5. Once the Receiver Collar has been programmed, press the (+) button to turn the Barrier Transmitter ON. Check
to make sure the black bar(s) appear on the LCD screen indicating the mode you have selected (4B) and reset
the Barrier Transmitter to the desired range.

TRAINING GUIDE
The PetSafe®Pawz Away™Mini Pet Barrier operates on the principle of positive and negative reinforcement.
Your pet will learn to avoid the Barrier Areas you have set after receiving a Progressive Static Stimulation
(negative reinforcement) and your pet will learn that he is more comfortable when he avoids the Barrier Areas
(positive reinforcement).
In some cases, it may not be necessary to train your pet. You can let your pet wander freely to determine the new
boundaries. Monitor your pet during his first session. Pets learn at different rates and it may take several
times for your pet to successfully understand and honor the Barrier Areas.
Begin Your Pet’s First Session
1. Move your pet away from the Barrier Area.
2. Turn the Receiver Collar ON (l). Place the Receiver Collar around your pet’s neck. Be sure that the Receiver is
directly under your pet’s neck.
3. Allow your pet to wander freely to learn the new boundaries.
Further Training
If your pet is confused or unsure how to avoid the Barrier Areas then you may need to teach your pet how to do so by
following these easy training steps:
1. Place a second non metallic collar on your pet BELOW the Receiver Collar and attach a long lead.
Be sure the extra collar does not put pressure on the Contact Points of the Receiver Collar.
2. Walk your pet toward the Barrier Area. As soon as you hear the tone or you see that your pet is receiving a Static
Stimulation, gently pull him away from the Barrier Area and back into the safe zone.
3. Reward your pet with praise each time he leaves the Barrier Area.
4. Practice this technique a few times until you feel that your pet is mastering avoidance of the Barrier Areas.
Be sure to never force or entice your pet to enter the Barrier Areas.
Additional Information
• The system should only be used with healthy pets. Contact your veterinarian if you have concerns about the
medical condition of your pet (medication, pregnant, heart conditions, etc).
• This system is not for use with aggressive pets. If your pet may pose a threat to others, DO NOT USE THIS
SYSTEM. If you are unsure if your dog is aggressive, please consult your veterinarian or a certified trainer.
