Receiver Collar Batteries
The PetSafe
®
Outdoor Pet Barrier Receiver Collar uses two 3-volt Lithium coin cell batteries,
size CR2032 (RFA-35-11). Replacement batteries can be found at many retailers or directly
through PetSafe
®
. Contact the Customer Care Center at 1-800-732-2677 or visit our website at
www.petsafe.net to locate a retailer near you.
To replace the batteries:
1. Using the Test Light Tool, turn the battery door to the OPEN position.
2. Lift the battery door out and turn the door over. The two 3-volt Lithium coin cell batteries
are stored inside the door.
3. Remove the old batteries and insert new batteries with the positive (+) side facing the
battery door lid.
4. Insert battery door back into the Receiver Collar and turn to either the OFF or ON position
to lock the door in place.
Battery life will vary depending on how often your pet tests the system and receives a Static
Correction. Check the Receiver Collar and Barrier Transmitter every month to ensure the
system is working properly. To prolong battery life, it is recommended that you turn the
Receiver Collar and Barrier Transmitter OFF when not in use.
Operating Guide - Wire Option
You can customize the size and shape of your barrier. This section discusses laying an
external wire which attaches to the Barrier Transmitter. The signal will transmit through
the wire, instead of through the Barrier Transmitter, at a range up to 12 feet from the
outside of the wire.
You can create a barrier using up to 150 feet of Boundary Wire. Use wire that is rated
for direct burial. PetSafe

Boundary Wire can be purchased in 150 foot spools through
the Customer Care Center.
Determine Placement of Barrier
Transmitter & Wire Layout
Basic Planning Tips
Underground cables can carry high voltage. Have all underground
cables marked before you dig to bury your wire. In most areas this is
a free service. Avoid these cables when you dig.
When determining your wire layout it is important to remember
that you will need to set the range to a minimum of 3 segments
(
5A
) when using the wire option. The segments indicate the
barrier range. If the range is set to 1 or 2 segments, the signal
will not be great enough to be picked up by the Receiver
Collar. Refer to the chart below for the approximate range of
the signal from the outside of the wire for each segment.
