How the System Works

A radio signal is sent by the transmitter to a receiver located on your dog’s collar.

The signal is transmitted through a wire which is placed along the boundaries

you want to establish.The wire is an antenna that carries the signal.The receiver,

attached to your dog’s collar, provides a warning beep when he approaches

the wire. 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. Although harmless, this will discourage him from

continuing further.Three adjustable levels of correction allow you to choose the

one that is appropriate for your dog’s temperament. The PetSafe®UltraSmart®

In-Ground Fence™has been proven safe, comfortable and effective for dogs over

8 pounds.

Prepare the Receiver Collar

Your Receiver Collar comes with short Contact Points installed. Use

the long Contact Points for pets with long or thick hair.Tighten the

Contact Points using the Contact Point Wrench included in your

In-Ground Fence™(A). Check the tightness weekly.

Charge the Receiver Collar

Before you can begin using the Receiver Collar, you will need

to charge it for 2-3 hours using the Receiver Collar Charger

included with the UltraSmart®In-Ground Fence™. Additional

Receiver Collar Chargers (part #IUA-005) can also be

purchased from the Customer Care Center.The Receiver

Collar ﬁts on top of the charger with the Contact Points facing

down through the holes (B).The Receiver Collar light will

glow red when the collar is properly seated and charging.The

light will turn green when charging is complete. A built in

safety circuit prevents the Receiver Collar from overcharging.

The Receiver Collar will achieve a full charge in 2-3 hours. Each charge can last up to three

months depending on frequency of use.

Caution: Do not charge your Receiver Collar every night. Frequent charging can have a

negative effect on the battery. We recommend that the Receiver Collar be used until the

Receiver Indicator Light blinks yellow or red.

The Fence Transmitter includes a Collar Charge Reminder Switch that you can set

to alert you when it is time to charge your dog’s Receiver Collar.The “A” Setting will

alert after 60 days and the “B” setting will alert after 30 days.To set the reminder, turn

the switch to the OFF position, then move to either the A or B setting. After the 30 or

60 days has passed, the Fence Transmitter will sound three short reminder tones every

minute.To reset the switch, turn it to the OFF position and move back to either setting

A or B, or you can choose to turn the switch OFF to disable this feature.

ReadyTest™Feature

ReadyTest™gives you added conﬁdence that the Receiver Collar is working and

ready to use.When you remove the Receiver Collar from the charger, the receiver will

automatically go into self-test mode for approximately 8 seconds.The receiver’s internal

diagnostics will check that the battery charge is full and that all circuits are working

correctly. Do not touch the Contact Points while the receiver is in test mode.

When the collar is removed from the charger, the indicator light will go off and then

come back on.The light will ﬁrst glow red for three seconds, then go off.The indicator

light will come back on for ﬁve seconds to indicate the status of the battery (green,

yellow or red).The ReadyTest™is complete once you see the battery indicator status.

If the Receiver Collar beeps and the indicator light glows solid red for 20 seconds, the

ReadyTest™self-test has failed. Replace the Receiver Collar in the charger for 5 seconds

and then remove. Do not touch the Contact Points. If the Receiver Collar continues to

fail the ReadyTest™, call the Customer Care Center.

PerfectFit™Test for Collar Fit

This test is an added feature to verify ﬁt but is not required for the system to function.

After the ReadyTest™, the Receiver Collar will go into PerfectFit™test mode. This mode

begins with a ﬂashing yellow light.To use this feature, you must place the Receiver Collar

on your dog within 90 seconds of removing it from the Collar Charger.The Receiver Collar

will emit a chime tone as the Contact Points touch your dog’s skin.You will know you

have the proper ﬁt when the collar chimes and ﬂashes green 5 consecutive times. After 90

seconds, the Receiver Collar moves into normal operation mode.

The Receiver Collar will still function normally if you are unable to place the Receiver Collar

on your dog within 90 seconds of removing it from the Collar Charger. If you wish to use the

PerfectFit™test after 90 seconds have passed, place the Receiver Collar back on the charger for 5

seconds. Remove the collar and allow it to complete the ReadyTest™before placing it on your dog.

To Set the Correction Level

The Static Correction Level can be set to three different levels depending on

the temperament of your dog: Low, Medium, or High.The Static Correction Level is

set using the Stimulation Level Switch located on the Fence Transmitter.

On each of the Stimulation Level settings, the Receiver Collar will emit a 2 second

Warning Tone whenever your pet enters the Warning Zone. If your pet continues into

the Static Correction Zone, he will receive a Static Correction.

Receiver Collar Status Indicators

The Receiver Collar Status Indicator Light along with the Receiver Collar Alarm Tone

are used to determine the operational mode, the battery status, and the correction type.

lights and tones for the Receiver Collar. During normal operation, the Receiver Collar

Indicator Light will ﬂash every 3 seconds to indicate the battery status as shown in the

Anti –Linger Prevention

The Anti-Linger Prevention feature keeps your dog from staying in the Warning

Zone for long periods of time and draining the Receiver Collar battery.Your dog

will hear a two second warning tone when he reaches the Warning Zone. If your

dog does not return to the Pet Area after two seconds, he will receive a continuous

Static Correction until he returns to the Pet Area.

Run Through Prevention

This system includes a unique “run-through” prevention so that your dog cannot

escape the Pet Area without receiving an increased level of Static Correction.

The Receiver Collar automatically increases the Static Correction when your

10 Customer Care Center 1-800-732-2677

dog continues more than 1⁄3of the way through the pet fencing Field Width. For

example, if the signal is detected 12 feet from the wire and your dog enters the Static

Correction Zone, this feature is activated when he is approximately 8 feet from the

Boundary Wire.Your dog will then receive a Static Correction that is at an increased

level corresponding to the Static Correction level setting on the Fence Transmitter.

Over Correction Protection

In the unlikely event that your pet “freezes” in the Static Correction Zone, this

feature limits the Static Correction duration to 10 seconds.While the system locks

out further Static Correction, the green light will remain on for 10 seconds before

resuming the correction with tone for another 10 seconds.This pattern will repeat

for a maximum of three cycles, a duration of 60 seconds, or until the pet leaves the

Static Correction Zone.
