Caution

This PetSafe

 In-Ground Radio Fence

 is NOT a solid barrier. The system is designed to act as a deterrent to remind 

pets by electric stimulation 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 electrical stimulation 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 In-Ground 
Radio 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.
