Prepare the Receiver Collar
Your Receiver Collar comes with short Contact Points. Long Contact Points for pets with
long or thick hair are available through our Customer Care Center at 1-800-732-2677.
Tighten the Contact Points using Test Light Tool (5A) one-half turn beyond finger tight.
Check the tightness weekly.
To Insert and Remove the Battery
Note: Do not install the battery while the Receiver Collar is on your pet.
This Receiver Collar utilizes a replaceable PetSafe ® battery (RFA-67). This unique battery is
designed to make battery replacement easier and increase water protection.
To insert the battery, align the symbols on the battery (arrow) and Receiver Collar (triangle)
(5B). Use the edge of the Test Light Tool to turn the battery clockwise until the arrow lines up
with the lock symbol on the housing.
To remove the battery, turn the battery counter-clockwise using the edge of the Test Light
Tool (5C). DO NOT attempt to cut into or pry open the battery. Be sure to discard the used
battery properly.
Battery life will vary depending on how often your pet tests the system and receives a Static
Correction. Check the Receiver Collar every month to ensure the battery is working properly.
A replacement PetSafe ® battery (RFA-67) can be found at many retailers. Contact the
Customer Care Center at 1-800-732-2677 or visit our web site at www.petsafe.net to locate
a retailer near you.
