hazards. Obey all safety messages that follow this symbol to avoid possible injury
or death.

NOTICE is used to address safe use practices not related to personal injury.
• Not for use with aggressive dogs. Do not use this product if your dog is prone to aggressive
behaviour. Aggressive dogs can cause severe injury or death to their owners and others. If you are
not sure that this product is right for your dog, please talk to your veterinarian or a certifi ed trainer.
• Risk of electric shock. Use the Fence Transmitter indoors in dry location only.
• This PetSafe ® Wireless Pet Containment System ™ is NOT a solid barrier. The system is designed to
act as a deterrent to remind pets by Static Stimulation to remain in the boundary established. It is
important that you reinforce training with your pet on a regular basis. Since the tolerance level to
Static Stimulation varies from pet to pet, Radio Systems Corporation CANNOT guarantee that the
system will, in all cases, keep a pet within the established boundary. Not all pets can be trained
to avoid crossing the boundary! Therefore, if you have reason to believe that your pet may pose a
danger to others or harm himself if he is not kept from crossing the boundaries, you should NOT
rely solely upon the PetSafe
® Wireless Pet Containment System ™ to confi ne your pet. Radio Systems
Corporation shall NOT be liable for any property damage, economic loss or any consequential
damages, sustained as a result of any animal crossing the boundary.
• Proper fi t of the collar is important. A collar worn for too long or made too tight on the pet’s neck
may cause skin damage. Ranging from redness to pressure ulcers; this condition is commonly
known as bed sores.
- Avoid leaving the collar on the dog for more than 12 hours per day.
- When possible reposition the collar on the pet’s neck every 1 to 2 hours.
- Check the fi t to prevent excessive pressure; follow the instructions in this manual.
- Never connect a lead to the electronic collar; it will cause excessive pressure on
the contacts.
- When using a separate collar for a lead, don’t put pressure on the electronic collar.
- Wash the dog’s neck area and the contacts of the collar weekly with a damp cloth.
- Examine the contact area daily for signs of a rash or a sore.
- If a rash or sore is found, discontinue use of the collar until the skin has healed.
- If the condition persists beyond 48 hours, see your veterinarian.
