Congratulations!

You have chosen the World’s best selling pet containment system. Our mission is to 
ensure your pet’s safety by providing you the tools and techniques to successfully 
train your pet. If this is your 

fi

 rst pet containment system, there are just a few 

important things you need to know: 

• Use the system with healthy pets only. 
• This system may not be effective for vicious or aggressive pets. If your pet poses a 

threat to others, DO NOT USE THE SYSTEM.

• The system is for residential use only.
• You can contain several pets within the Pet Area, but each one must wear a 

Receiver Collar.

Setup and Ongoing Operation

Your PetSafe Professional will perform all the setup steps 
for you. 
1. Bury the Wire at the Boundary you specify.
2. Install the Transmitter in a dry location.
3. Install the batteries in the Receiver Collar and Remote 

Transmitter.

4. Set the Correction Level and test the Receiver Collar.
5. Place the Receiver Collar on your pet.

For the system to operate properly, you must 

fi

 rst

• 

Train your pet to the containment system.

 (See the 

training plan enclosed.) After you’ve completed training, 
you can begin using the Remote Transmitter portion of 
the ProTx

®

-Plus System. (See Training Guide enclosed)

• 

Regularly

 

check and clean your pet’s neck.

 If the 

Receiver Collar is too tight or your pet wears it too long, it 
can cause Pressure Necrosis, a condition where the skin 
deteriorates. If a rash or sore forms, remove the Receiver 

Collar for a few days. When replacing the Receiver Collar, 
make sure the Contact Posts and the pet’s neck are clean. 
Consult a veterinarian if needed.

• 

Every month,

 

check that the Receiver Collar beeps 

near the Boundary.

 If not, check the Troubleshooting 

Guide. 

• 

Battery life depends upon how often your pet tests 

the Boundary.

 The SafeLight™ acts as a low battery 

indicator, 

fl

 ashing every 4 to 5 seconds when replacement 

is required.

• 

Always

 

be careful when using a weed eater or shovel

 

near the Boundary to prevent damage to the Wire.

ProTx

®

Plus Transmitter

The Transmitter is the control center for the fence. 
It plugs into a standard outlet. It is not waterproof 
and must be installed in a dry location. 

Ask your PetSafe Professional 

about our Gentle LiteTouch

When your pet reaches the Warning Zone, the Receiver
