Please read and follow the instructions in this manual. 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 contact points 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 secure 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.
• You should not make the collar any tighter than is required for good contact. A collar that is too
tight will increase the risk of pressure necrosis in the contact area.
• Proper training of your pet is essential to the success of the PetSafe

system. During the first 2 weeks of training, do not use the training device on your pet
without direct supervision.
• To prevent an unintended correction:
- The receiver collar should not be on your dog when the system is tested.
- Remove the receiver collar before making any changes to your system.
- Before placing the receiver collar on your pet, test the boundary location and width after
any change.
• If possible, do not use an outlet protected with a residual current device (RCD) or ground fault
circuit interrupter (GFCI). The fence system will function properly, but in rare cases, nearby
lightning strikes may cause the RCD or GFCI to trip. Without power, your pet may be vulnerable to
escape. You will have to reset the RCD or GFCI to restore power to the system.
• Avoid damage to the insulation of the loop wire during the install; damage may cause areas of weak
signal and lead to early failure of the loop (wire breaks).
• Use care when mowing or trimming your grass not to cut the loop wire.
• For added protection for the Fence Transmitter when unused for long periods of time or prior to
thunderstorms, disconnect the Loop Boundary Wires and unplug the Power Adapter from the outlet.
This will prevent damage to the Transmitter due to surges.
