Petsafe In-Ground Fence™ - Manual (Page 6)

6 1-800-732-2677
How the System Works
A radio signal travels from the Fence Transmitter through a buried wire, marking the boundaries you wish to set for your
dog. Your dog wears a Receiver Collar that detects the signal at the boundary. As your dog approaches the boundary, the
receiver issues a warning tone. If he proceeds further, he receives a safe but startling Static Correction. While harmless, the
correction will persuade him to stay in the containment area you’ve established. Boundary flags are a temporary visual aid
for your pet; remove them after training. This PetSafe ® In-Ground Fence ™ has been proven safe, comfortable, and effective
for pets over 8 pounds.
Key Definitions
Fence Transmitter: Transmits the radio signal through the Boundary Wire.
Pet Area: Area within the Warning Zone where your pet can roam freely.
Warning Zone: Outer edge of the Pet Area where your pet’s Receiver Collar begins to
beep, warning him not to go into the Static Correction Zone.
Static Correction Zone: Zone beyond the Warning Zone where your pet’s Receiver Collar
will emit a Static Correction, signaling him to return to the Pet Area.
Boundary Width: Combination of the Warning Zone and the Static Correction Zone.
Surge Protector: Installed with the Fence Transmitter to protect it from lightning strikes
and power surges (USA and Canada only).
Receiver Collar: Receives the radio signal from the Boundary Wire.
Correction Level Button: Adjusts the level of Static Correction your pet receives in the
Static Correction Zone.
Receiver Indicator Light: Indicates the level of correction at which the Receiver Collar is
set. This light also serves as a low battery indicator.

Correction Zone.
Power Jack: Where the Power Adapter plugs into the Fence Transmitter.
Boundary Control Switch: Switch located on the Fence Transmitter to adjust according to
the length of Boundary Wire used.
