Petsafe UltraSmart® In-Ground Fence™ Receiver Collar - Manual (Page 7)

How the System Works
A radio signal is sent by the transmitter of your UltraSmart ® In-Ground Fence ™
to a receiver located on your dog’s collar. The signal is transmitted through a
wire which is placed along the boundaries you want to establish. The wire is
an antenna that carries the signal. The receiver, attached to your dog’s collar,
provides a warning beep when he approaches the wire. If your pet continues
into the Static Correction Zone, a safe Static Correction will be delivered
through the Contact Points to get his attention until he returns to the Pet Area.
Although harmless, this will discourage him from continuing further. Three
adjustable levels of correction allow you to choose the one that is appropriate
for your dog’s temperament. The PetSafe ® UltraSmart ® In-Ground Fence ™ has
been proven safe, comfortable and effective for dogs over 8 pounds.
Prepare the Receiver Collar
Your Receiver Collar comes with short Contact
Points installed. Use the long Contact Points for pets
with long or thick hair. Tighten the Contact Points
using the Contact Point Wrench included in your In-
Ground Fence ™ (A). Check the tightness weekly.
