How the SystemWorks

The PetSafe

Yard & ParkTrainer has been proven safe, comfortable, and effective for all pets greater

than 8 lb and at least 6 months old.This system assists you in controlling your pet without a leash in a

range up to 400 yards.At the push of a button, the HandheldTransmitter sends a signal, activating the

Receiver Collar. Using the RemoteTrainer consistently and correctly, many misbehaviors that your pet

exhibits can be corrected or any basic obedience commands can be taught.

Important:TheYard & ParkTrainer has a range of up to 400 yards.

Depending on the way you hold the HandheldTransmitter, the

maximum range may vary. For consistent results at longer ranges, hold

the HandheldTransmitter in a vertical position away from your body

and above your head.Terrain, weather, vegetation, transmission from

other radio devices, and other factors will affect the maximum range.

Key Deﬁnitions

HandheldTransmitter:Transmits the radio signal to the Receiver Collar. It is waterproof.

Transmitter Indicator Light: Indicates that a button is pressed and also serves as a low-battery

indicator.

Intensity Dial: Provides multiple levels of Stimulation so you can match the correction to your pet’s

temperament.

Upper Button:This button is factory-set to deliver a NegativeTone only.

Lower Button:This button is factory-set to deliver a NegativeTone for 1 second then Continuous

Stimulation set by the Intensity Dial.

Side Button:This button is factory-set to deliver a PositiveTone only.

Receiver Collar:Receives the radio signal from the HandheldTransmitter. It is waterproof.

On/Off Button: Momentarily pressing and holding this button turns the Receiver Collar on and off.

Contact Points:The contacts through which the Receiver Collar delivers Stimulation.

Receiver Indicator Light: Indicates when the Receiver Collar has been turned on or off and also serves

as a low-battery indicator.

Charging Jacks:

For connecting the charger.Although the HandheldTransmitter and Receiver Collar are

waterproof without the charger covers, keep the covers in place when not charging to keep debris out of the

openings.

Continuous Stimulation:You control when and how long Stimulation is delivered to your dog through

the Receiver Collar’s Contact Points.When a Continuous Stimulation button is pressed for 8 seconds or

more, the HandheldTransmitter will “time-out.”The button will need to be released and pressed again

before additional Stimulation can be delivered.

NegativeTone: Use a NegativeTone with a Stimulation to stop unwanted behaviors.Timing is critical.

The NegativeTone followed by the Stimulation should occur during or immediately after the unwanted

behavior. Once your dog associates the NegativeTone with the Stimulation,you will only need to use the

NegativeTone.

PositiveTone: Use the PositiveTone as a marker to reinforce positive behavior.Again, timing is critical.

Praise or treat the dog immediately following the PositiveTone.

Rechargeable Batteries

•The rechargeable Nickel Metal Hydride (NiMH) batteries are not memory sensitive

and do not require depletion before charging.

•The batteries come partially charged from the factory, but will require a full charge

(24 hours) before the ﬁrst use.

• Remember - Always keep batteries away from ﬂame.

•When storing the unit for long periods, remember to regularly give batteries a full

charge (12 hours).This should be done once every 4 to 6 weeks.

• Excessive overcharging can shorten battery life.After initial charge, never leave the

battery plugged in for more than 12 hours.

• If your equipment has not been charged for an extended period, you may experience

a decrease in battery life the ﬁrst few uses.Afterwards, the battery life will return to

previous capacity levels.

•You should expect hundreds of recharge cycles from your batteries. However, all

rechargeable batteries lose capacity over time relative to the number of recharge cycles

they experience.This is normal. If your operating time drops to half of the original life,

contact the Customer Care Center to purchase a new battery.

•The batteries should last for a period of 3-5 years.When a battery needs replacement,

you can order a new pack by contacting our Customer Care Center or visit our website

at www.petsafe.net. Please do not open the Receiver Collar or HandheldTransmitter

until you have received the replacement.

Fit the Receiver Collar

Important:The proper ﬁt and placement of your Receiver Collar is important

for effective operation.The Contact Points must have direct contact with your

dog’s skin on the underside of his neck.

To assure a proper ﬁt, please follow these steps:

1. Make sure that the Receiver Collar is turned off.

2. Start with your dog standing comfortably (3A).

3. Place the Receiver Collar high on your dog’s neck close to the

ears. Center the Contact Points underneath your dog’s neck,

touching the skin (3B). Note:It is sometimes necessary to trim the

hair around the Contact Points to make sure that contact is consistent.

4. Check the tightness of the Receiver Collar

by inserting one ﬁnger between the collar

and your dog’s neck (3C).The ﬁt should be

snug but not constricting.

5.Allow your dog to wear the Receiver Collar

for several minutes then recheck the ﬁt.

Check the ﬁt again as your dog becomes

more comfortable with the Receiver Collar.

Care and Cleaning

To ensure the effectiveness of this product

and the comfort and safety of your dog, check

the ﬁt of his collar frequently.This Guide

describes proper collar ﬁtting. If you notice

that your dog is experiencing skin irritation,

discontinue use of the collar for a few days. If

the condition persists beyond 48 hours, see

your veterinarian.

To prevent skin irritation from occurring:

•The Receiver Collar should not be worn for more than 8 hours out of every 24-hour

period.

•Your dog’s neck and the Contact Points must be washed weekly with a washcloth and

mild hand soap, then rinsed thoroughly.

• Be sure that your pet’s neck is thoroughly dry before placing the Receiver Collar back

on his neck.
