Charge the Collar
Open the rubber cap on the back of the receiver collar and plug the
adaptor into your collar to begin charging (
2A
). The collar light is red
while charging and green when fully charged. The first charge will take
about 2 or 3 hours. Each charge can last up to 3 months depending on
the frequency of use. Only recharge the collar when the indicator light
begins to blink red.
Have Your Utilities Marked
1. Call your utility company to have your utility lines marked. If you have
neighbors using an in-ground pet containment system, you will want to
ask them where the boundary is located. Place your wire at least 10 ft.
away from it.
2. Large metal objects and wires can cause interference in unpredictable
ways. Make a plan for how you will work around any large metal
objects, like sheds or existing wires. You can cross utility lines at a 90°
angle (
3A
).
Choose a Location
For outside use, the ideal location of the transmitter is along the outer
perimeter of your property, ideally mounted to a post or placed under
a tree (
4A
). However, the transmitter can be placed indoors or on the
side of your home. There are a few things to consider when choosing
a location:
• Place the transmitter in a shaded area to avoid direct sunlight. Extreme
temperatures can affect battery life and may cause damage to the
batteries, affecting the system operation. The temperatures in the
placed location should not fall below -25°F / -32°C, or rise above
130°F / 55°C.
• The transmitter should be at least 3 ft. from large metal objects like an
outdoor shed or indoor appliances. These items may interfere with the
signal consistency.
• Place the transmitter in a visible location where you will be able
to hear any alarms and see the alarm lights if your system detects
an issue.
• If you plan to mount the transmitter or decide to place it indoors, keep
in mind that the boundary wire that runs from the transmitter out to the
main boundary wire must be twisted together. Be sure to leave plenty
of extra wire near the transmitter when planning your layout.
• Do not mount the transmitter until the boundary wire is connected to it.
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.

How It Works
The YardMax
®
Cordless In-Ground Fence
™
system allows you to safely keep your pet within the boundary you set. The PetSafe
®
brand has safely used
static correction for decades and have helped millions of pets live happier, healthier and more active lives.
The system works by sending a signal through a buried wire (boundary wire). Your pet wears a receiver collar that picks up the signal. It warns your
pet with a beep when he enters the warning zone. If your pet continues to venture out, the collar will issue a safe but startling correction, similar to the
static you feel if you drag your feet across a carpet and then touch a door handle. Of course, different pets respond to different levels of correction. The
collar has 5 levels of correction plus a tone-only setting to accommodate any pet. The only pets that we do not recommend the system for are aggressive
pets and pets younger than 6 months of age or under 5 lb.
Make sure to go through the training as described on page 20 before leaving your
pet unattended.
Please note that large metal objects and wires can amplify and/or modulate signals in unpredictable ways. Make a plan for how you will work around
any large metal objects like sheds, air conditioning units or existing wires. Call your utility company to have your utility lines marked. You can cross utility
lines but only at 90° angles (see figure
3A ).
Note: If you buy extra wire, the system is expandable up to 1,000 ft.
4 Steps to a Contained Pet
An important thing to note even before you get started, is that you should always remove the receiver collar from your pet while inside or when the
system is not in use. Also, never leave it on your pet for more than 12 consecutive hours, and absolutely never attach a leash to it—use a separate collar
for that. Excessive pressure and continuous use without breaks could hurt your pet’s skin.
Installation time can vary based on the size of your yard and the layout you choose. Training your pet to understand the system typically takes a couple
of weeks. No worries though, we will go through everything you need to know here, and you can always reference our setup videos or give us a call if
you have a question.
Quick tip:
Using a small trenching or lawn edging tool instead of a shovel, can save you a lot of time when burying your wire. These can be found at
your local hardware store.
Insert the Transmitter Batteries
1. The transmitter requires 10 D cell batteries. It does not have an AC port.
2. Remove the magnetic cover from the transmitter and set it aside.
3. Remove the 10 screws to the battery door with a Phillips screwdriver.
4. Insert 4 D cell batteries into the bottom row first, in the direction shown (
1A ).
5. Insert the remaining 6 batteries on the top row.
After you insert the first battery on the top row, the unit will temporarily turn on and go through
a startup cycle. All the icons on the LED will flash, the lights will flash and the transmitter will
emit a tone. The LED display will then disappear and the transmitter will be off.
6. Reattach the battery door and magnetic cover to the transmitter
We do not recommended turning on the transmitter at this time. We will explain
later on pages 13 and 14 how to connect the wires and turn on the transmitter.
Note: Battery life typically lasts 9 to 12 months. Check the battery status monthly. Replace the batteries when the battery icon shows 1 or no bars.
