Operating Guide
Set Up the Transmitter
Important: You may need to move the Transmitter several times before determining the final location.
The Transmitter is located at the exact center of the Pet Area. Place the Transmitter:
• At least 2 feet above the floor located on the ground floor of your home.
• In a dry, well ventilated, protected area.
• In an area where temperatures do not fall below freezing (e.g., garage, shed, closet).
• On a non-metal table or mount on a wall (1A). A mounting template is included on the back of
this guide.
• At least 3 feet from large metal objects, as these items may reduce the size and shape of your
Pet Area (1B).
To maximize your Pet Area, make
sure the Boundary Switch is on
“High” and the Boundary Control
Dial is set to “8” (1C). Plug Power
Adapter into Power Jack and
standard 120-volt outlet. Turn the
Transmitter on.

To Insert and Remove the Receiver Collar Battery

protection.
To insert the battery, align the symbols on the battery (arrow) and Receiver
Collar (triangle) (2B). Use the edge of the Test Light Tool (2B) 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 (2C). DO NOT attempt to cut into or pry open the battery.
Be sure to discard the used battery properly.
A replacement PetSafe
® battery (RFA-67) can be found at many retailers.
