Petsafe Pawz Away® Mini Pet Barrier - Manual (Page 8)

8 Customer Care Center 1-800-732-2677
*All Mini Pet Barriers and Receiver Collars are preset to mode A. The A and B mode feature is designed to be used in
multiple pet households where you may want one pet to be able to access an area while preventing access by another
pet. For single pet households, you will not need to operate the Barrier Transmitter in any mode other than A. Please
see the Additional Features section of this operating and training guide (beginning on page 12) for instructions on how
to utilize mode A and B.
Test the Barrier Area
1. Keeping your hands away from the Contact Points, use the edge of the Test Light
Tool to turn the receiver battery door to the ON position.
2. Hold the Receiver Collar with the Contact Points facing up. Place the Test Light Tool
on the Contact Points so that the wire in the Test Light Tool touches the Contact
Points (3A). The PetSafe ® logo on the Receiver Collar should face the Transmitter.
3. Hold the Receiver Collar at the approximate height of your pet’s neck (3B). Start
outside of the range and walk slowly toward the Barrier Transmitter. As you reach
the Barrier Area, the Receiver Collar emits a series of high-pitched tones. For each
tone you hear, you should notice the Test Light flashing which indicates that a
Progressive Static Correction is being delivered. The Receiver Collar’s tone is easily
heard by pets but may be at a volume level difficult for some humans to hear.
4. Check the range of the Barrier Area from multiple angles to ensure you are getting
the desired coverage.
Note: Should you find that you are not getting the desired range at the maximum setting,
move the Barrier Transmitter a foot, or change from its standing-on-end position to
laying flat. Metal objects can alter the magnetic field and change the transmitting signal
range. The effect on the range depends on the size and shape of the objects. Signal
range can be reduced if the Barrier Transmitter is placed on a concrete floor, due to steel
reinforcement in the concrete. For best range results, place the Barrier Transmitter
on a nonconductive surface, i.e., wood floor or table. Placing the Barrier Transmitter
beneath sofas and beds can reduce the range due to the metal springs altering the
magnetic field.
