How the System Works
A radio signal travels from the Fence Transmitter through a buried wire, marking the boundaries you wish to set for your
dog. Your dog wears a Receiver Collar that detects the signal at the boundary. As your dog approaches the boundary, the
receiver issues a warning tone. If he proceeds further, he receives a safe but startling Static Correction. While harmless, the
correction will persuade him to stay in the containment area you’ve established. Boundary fl ags are a temporary visual aid
for your pet; remove them after training. This PetSafe
®
In-Ground Fence
™
has been proven safe, comfortable, and effective
for pets over 3.6 kg (8 lbs).
Key Definitions

Outer edge of the Pet Area where your pet’s Receiver Collar begins to beep, warning him not to go into the
Static Correction Zone.
Static Correction Zone:
Zone beyond the Warning Zone where your pet’s Receiver Collar will emit a Static Correction,
signaling him to return to the Pet Area.
Boundary Width:
Combination of the Warning Zone and the Static Correction Zone.
Receiver Collar:
Receives the radio signal from the Boundary Wire.
Contact Points:
Delivers the safe Static Correction when your pet moves into the Static Correction Zone.
Power Jack:
Where the Power Adapter plugs into the Fence Transmitter. The Fence Transmitter is powered by a
standard outlet.
Boundary Control Switch:
Switch located on the Fence Transmitter to adjust according to the length of Boundary Wire used.
Boundary Wire Terminals:
Where the Boundary Wires connect to the Fence Transmitter in order to complete a
continuous loop.
Loop Indicator Light:
Indicates that the Boundary Wire makes a complete loop, enabling the signal to be transmitted.
