The Power and Loop Indicator Lights
are off. • Check that the Power Adapter is plugged into the Fence Transmitter.
• Try plugging into another outlet.
• If the lights still do not come on, the Fence Transmitter and/or Power
Adapter needs to be replaced. Contact the Customer Care Centre.
The Power Light is on, the Loop
Indicator Light is off, and the Fence
Transmitter loop alarm is sounding. • Make sure both ends of the Boundary Wire are plugged into Boundary
Wire Terminals and that 1.3 cm (1/2 in) of the insulation is stripped so
that the copper wire is exposed.
• Perform the “Short Loop Test” to determine if the Fence Transmitter needs
to be replaced or if the Boundary Wire is broken.
• If the Fence Transmitter is functioning properly, you have a break in
your Boundary Wire. See the “To Locate a Break in the Boundary Wire”
section in this guide.
Additional Information
• The Boundary Wire is buried so that it is not accidentally tripped over or cut. Use care when trimming grass or digging
near the Boundary Wire to prevent damage.
• The system should only be used with healthy pets. Contact your veterinarian if you have concerns about the medical
condition of your pet (medication, pregnant, heart conditions, etc.).
• This system is not for vicious or aggressive pets. If your pet may pose a threat to others, DO NOT USE THIS SYSTEM.
If you are unsure if your pet is aggressive, please consult your veterinarian or a certifi ed trainer.
• The PetSafe In-Ground Cat Fence ™ is for residential use only.
• The Static Correction will get your pet’s attention, but will not cause harm. It is designed to startle, not to punish.

Short Loop Test
The Short Loop Test is a simple test to determine if each component (Fence Transmitter, Receiver Collar and Boundary
Wire) is functioning properly.
1. Disconnect the Boundary Wire.
2. Cut approximately 3 m (10 ft) of unused Boundary Wire and connect it to the Boundary Wire Terminals.
3. Attach the Test Light to the Receiver Collar.
4. Spread the Boundary Wire out into a circle. Set the Boundary Control Switch to B.
5. Set the Boundary Width Control knob to 10 and the Correction Level to 2 or above.
6. If the Loop Indicator Light is not lit, then your Fence Transmitter is not functioning properly. Contact the Customer
Care Centre.
7. If the Loop Indicator Light is lit, disconnect one end of the Boundary Wire from the Boundary Wire Terminal.
8. If the loop alarm does not sound, the Fence Transmitter needs to be replaced. Contact the Customer Care Centre.
9. If the loop alarm does sound, plug the Boundary Wire back into the Boundary Wire Terminal.
10. Hold the Receiver Collar next to the 3 m (10 ft) length of Boundary Wire. The Receiver Collar should beep about
0.3 m (1 ft) away from the Boundary Wire. The Test Light should then fl ash as you hold the Receiver Collar closer to the
Boundary Wire.
11. If Receiver Collar does not beep and the Test Light does not fl ash, replace the batteries in the Receiver Collar. If it still
does not beep and the Test Light does not fl ash, contact the Customer Care Centre.
12. If the Receiver Collar beeps, there may be a complete or partial break in the Boundary Wire. See the “To Locate a Break
in the Boundary Wire” section.

To Locate a Break in the Boundary Wire
Please follow these steps in determining where you have a break in your Boundary Wire:
1. Locate your original splice(s) and verify they have a good, solid connection.
2. Check your garden to determine any possible damage to the Boundary Wire (e.g. recent digging, aerating, rodent
burrowing, or any other noticeable disturbance in your garden next to the Boundary Wire).
