• This PetSafe® Wireless Mapping 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®
Wireless Mapping 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.
• Proper fit of the collar is important. A collar worn for too long or made too tight on the pet’s neck may
cause skin damage. Ranging from redness to pressure ulcers; this condition is commonly known as
bed sores.
–
Avoid leaving the collar on the dog for more than 12 hours per day.
–
When possible reposition the collar on the pet’s neck every 1 to 2 hours.
–
Check the fit to prevent excessive pressure; follow the instructions in this manual.
–
Never connect a lead to the electronic collar; it will cause excessive pressure on the contacts.
–
When using a separate collar for a lead, don’t put pressure on the electronic collar.
–
Wash the dog’s neck area and the contacts of the collar weekly with a damp cloth.
–
Examine the contact area daily for signs of a rash or a sore.
–
If a rash or sore is found, discontinue use of the collar until the skin has healed.
–
If the condition persists beyond 48 hours, see your veterinarian.
–

These steps will help keep your pet protected and comfortable. Millions of pets are comfortable while
they wear stainless steel contacts. Some pets are sensitive to contact pressure. You may find after
some time that your pet is very tolerant of the collar. If so, you may relax some of these precautions. It
is important to continue daily checks of the contact area. If redness or sores are found, discontinue use
until the skin has fully healed.
