• 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.
- For additional information on bed sores and pressure necrosis, please visit our website.
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.
• You may need to trim the hair in the area of the Contact Points. Never shave the dog’s neck; this may lead
to a rash or infection.
• Always remove your dog’s Receiver Collar before performing any Transmitter testing.
• Turn off power before changing Mode Selection Switch setting on Transmitter.
• The Receiver Collar should not be on your dog when the system is tested. Your pet may receive an
unintended correction.
• To prevent unintended corrections to your pet, test the system whenever making any adjustments to the
distance of your Warning Zone.
• If you use a collar and leash for training, be sure the extra collar does not put pressure on the contact
points.
• Never remove power from the system when the collar is on the pet. This may activate the Receiver Collar.
• Radio Systems
®
Corporation recommends the use of an Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) for use with
your wireless fence. Should the power go out at your home, your pet will be unprotected. Power outages
can be unpredictable, and the use of a UPS will provide you with some time to properly restrain your pet.
• To prevent an unintended correction, after the Boundary Flags have been placed, be sure to set the static
correction on the Receiver Collar back to level 1 tone only.
• Do not charge your Receiver Collar every night. Charging too often can reduce battery life. Charge your
Receiver Collar when the Receiver Indicator Light blinks red/green; or when the light blinks red.
• Do not place anything on the top of the Transmitter or cover any ventilation holes. This may overheat the
Transmitter and cause early transmit failure.
• Do not place Transmitter in a closet or any other confined, unventilated area.
