Petsafe YardMax™ Rechargeable In-Ground Fence™ - Manual (Page 11)

If the Receiver Collar fails the ReadyTest ® , the collar is automatically turned OFF. Your pet will not be contained.
When the collar is removed from the charger, or turned on, the indicator light will go off for 1 second. The indicator
light will come back on for five seconds to indicate the status of the battery (green, yellow or red). The ReadyTest ®
is complete once you see the battery indicator status. You may place the Receiver Collar on your pet after the
ReadyTest ® is complete.
If the Receiver Collar beeps and the indicator light glows solid red for 20 seconds, the ReadyTest ® has detected a
problem, and the Receiver Collar turns OFF automatically. Your pet will not be contained. Turn the Receiver Collar
on and repeat the test. If the Receiver Collar continues to fail the ReadyTest ® , call the Customer Care Center.
PerfectFit ™ Test for Collar Fit
This test is an added feature to verify fit but is not required for the system to function. After the ReadyTest ® , the
Receiver Collar will go into PerfectFit ™ test mode. This mode begins with flashing simultaneous red and green
lights. To use this feature, you must place the Receiver Collar on your dog within 90 seconds of disconnecting the
charger from the Receiver Charging Jack or turning the Receiver Collar ON. The Receiver Collar will emit an alarm
tone as the Contact Points touch your dog’s skin. You will know you have the proper fit when the collar tones and
flashes green 5 consecutive times. After 90 seconds, the Receiver Collar moves into normal operation mode.
Set the Static Correction Level
The Static Correction levels increase in strength from 1 to 6. Refer to the table below to choose the Static
Correction that best fits your dog. The Receiver Collar will emit a Warning Tone whenever your dog enters the
Warning Zone, no matter what correction level is selected. If your dog continues into the Static Correction Zone,
and the Receiver Collar is set to level 2 or above, your dog will receive a correction.
1. Press the Mode Button and release (3B) when the Receiver Indicator Light illuminates Red (3C).
2. The Receiver Indicator Light will emit a series of Red Flashes representing the Static Correction Level.
3. Increase the Static Correction Level by pressing and releasing the Mode Button within 5 seconds of the previous
series of flashes. Pushing the Mode Button while the Receiver Collar is on Static Correction Level 6 will cause the
Receiver Collar to revert to Static Correction Level 1.

Anti–Linger Prevention
The Anti-Linger Prevention feature keeps your dog from staying in the Warning Zone for long periods of time and
draining the Receiver Collar rechargeable battery. Your dog will hear a two second warning tone when he reaches
the Warning Zone. If your dog does not return to the Pet Area after two seconds, he will receive a continuous Static
Correction until he returns to the Pet Area or until the Over Correction Protection is enabled.
Run Through Prevention
This system includes a unique “run-through” prevention so that your dog cannot escape the Pet Area without
receiving an increased level of Static Correction.
In YardMax
™ mode when your dog crosses over the wire and passes the Warning Zone, Static Correction is activated
at a variable distance dependent on the height of the dog and the height of the Receiver activation distance
setting. The ideal Warning Zone distance is where the Receiver Collar activates between 1 to 1 1/2 feet above the
dog’s neck height.
If you have a very timid dog, you may increase the Warning Zone distance to allow more distance before the higher
level Run Through Prevention Static Correction is generated. You can accomplish this by increasing the height of the
Receiver Collar activation.
In Traditional Mode, the Receiver Collar automatically increases the Static Correction when your dog continues
more than 20% of the way through the Boundary Width.
For example, if the signal is detected 10 feet from the wire and your dog enters the Static Correction Zone, this
feature is activated when he is approximately 8 feet from the Boundary Wire. Your dog will then receive a Static
Correction that is at an increased level corresponding to the Static Correction level setting on the Receiver Collar.
