Caution

The PetSafe

®

 Deluxe In-Ground Cat Fence

 is NOT a solid barrier. The system is designed to 

act as a deterrent to remind pets by Static Correction to remain in the boundary established. 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 within the established boundary. Not all pets can be 
trained to avoid crossing the boundary! Therefore, if you have reason to believe that your pet 
may pose a danger to others or harm himself if he is not kept from crossing the boundaries, you 
should NOT rely solely upon the PetSafe Deluxe In-Ground Cat Fence to confine your pet. 
Radio Systems Corporation shall NOT be liable for any property damage, economic loss or any 
consequential damages, sustained as a result of any animal crossing the boundary.
