This System is NOT a solid barrier. The system is designed to

act as a deterrent, using

static correction

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 correction

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.

To prevent an unintended correction, do not perform set up

procedures while the receiver collar is on your pet.

- If you are using a collar and leash for training, be sure the

extra collar does not put pressure on the contact points

of the receiver collar.

To avoid damage to the transmitter do not use on wet

surfaces, in damp or wet locations or around swimming

pools. This product is designed for indoor use only. Do not

expose to rain or snow.

How the System Works

The PetSafe®Indoor Radio Fence®can keep your pet out of a certain room,

away from a trash can or o of a piece of furniture. Just place the barrier

transmitter near the area that your pet should avoid. The barrier transmitter

sends a spherical radio signal that covers a radius between 2 and 10 ft.

Your pet wears a receiver collar (not included) with contact points that

touch his neck. When your pet enters the barrier area, he will hear a series of

audible tones from the receiver collar, and he will feel a safe static correction,

delivered through the contact points on his neck. The static correction will

get his attention, but will not cause harm. The correction continues until your

pet leaves the barrier area. If your pet doesn’t leave, the collar will continue to

correct until the collar times out.

Operating Guide

STEP 1

Install the Barrier Transmitter

The barrier transmitter emits a radio signal from all sides in a spherical

pattern. The signal will transmit through a wall or the ceiling/oor. The barrier

transmitter is designed to be placed laying at on a surface.

Do not:

• Place the barrier transmitter on metal surfaces.

• Place the barrier transmitter near large metal objects such as refrigerators,

washing machines, etc.

• Place the barrier transmitter near audio speakers.

To avoid damage to the transmitter do not use on wet surfaces, in damp

or wet locations or around swimming pools. This product is designed for

indoor use only. Do not expose to rain or snow.

STEP 2

Set Up the Barrier Transmitter

To prevent an unintended correction, never perform setup

procedures while your pet is wearing the receiver collar.

1. Plug the power adapter into the power jack and a standard 120 volt outlet.

2. Adjust the dial clockwise from 2 to 8. The power light will turn red

indicating that the unit is turned on.

3. You can create a barrier area from 2 ft. in radius up to 10 ft. in radius by

adjusting the dial from 2 (minimum range) to 8 (maximum range).

STEP 3

Test the Barrier Area

1. Refer to your receiver collar operating

guide for setup instructions and proper

use of the test light tool.

2. Place the test light tool that came

with your In-Ground Fence™system

on the contact points of the receiver

collar. Hold the receiver collar at the

approximate height of your dog’s

neck (3A). 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

static correction is being delivered. The receiver collar’s tone is easily

heard by dogs, but may be difficult for us humans to hear.

3. Check the range of the barrier area from multiple angles to ensure that

you are getting the desired coverage.

10 1-800-732-2677

Note: If you ﬁnd that you are not getting the desired range at the maximum

setting, move the barrier transmitter a few feet. 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, like a 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.
