How the System Works The PetSafe® Stay & Play™ Compact Wireless Fence system has been proven safe, comfortable, and effective for pets over 5 pounds. The system works by transmitting a radio signal up to 105 feet in all directions. You temporarily define the pet area with boundary flags for a visual aid in training your pet. Your pet wears a receiver collar with contact points that touch his neck, and, once trained, is allowed to roam freely in the pet area.
Operating Guide Step 1: Set Up the Transmitter Important: You may need to move the transmitter several times before determining the final location. The transmitter is located at the exact center of the pet area. Alarm Disable Button HI LO GH W Power Jack Power Light ALARM Boundary Control Dial Boundary Switch Place the Transmitter: • • • • • At least 2 feet above the floor located on the ground floor of your home. In a dry, well ventilated, protected area.
Transmitter Alarms The transmitter has three built-in warning alarms: • Power loss alarm • Metal interference alarm • Transmission failure alarm Power Loss Alarm The power loss alarm sounds an intermittent single tone alarm indicating power has been removed from the transmitter. The power loss alarm will last up to 30 minutes. In the event of a power loss, your pet is no longer contained. There are three ways to turn off the power loss alarm. 1. Plug the adaptor into a functional 120 volt outlet. 2.
Charge the Receiver Collar Lift and slide the receiver collar strap away from the front of the unit (2A). Lift the rubber plug to allow access to the receiver charge jack. The rubber plug needs to remain attached to the receiver collar. Plug the receiver charger into the receiver charge jack on the receiver collar. The receiver charge jack and receiver charger are keyed to fit one way. Do not force it in backwards.
Receiver Collar Status Indicators The receiver collar status indicator light along with the receiver collar alarm tone are used to determine the battery status, and the correction type. Refer to the receiver collar status indicator table below to understand the status lights and tones for the receiver collar. During normal operation, the receiver collar indicator light will flash every 4–5 seconds to indicate the battery status as shown in the table below.
Set the Static Correction Level Read all steps before attempting to set the static correction level. 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. The static correction levels increase in strength from 1 to 6.
Step 4: Adjust the Pet Area to Desired Size Make sure the entire pet area lies within your property boundaries (4A). Always start determining the boundary zone at the shortest distance from transmitter. Place the boundary switch on “Low” if the boundary zone will be less than 45 feet from the transmitter. Test Light Instructions 1. Make sure the receiver collar battery is properly charged. 2. Set the correction level to 2 or above. 3. Hold the test light contacts to the contact points. (4B) 4.

Step 5: Place the Boundary Flags The boundary flags are visual reminders for your pet of where the boundary zone is located. The receiver collar will activate within 2 to 3 feet of the boundary flags. 1. Using the test light, with the static correction level set at 2 or greater, hold the receiver collar at your pet’s neck height with logo side facing away from the transmitter. 2. Walk towards the boundary zone until the receiver collar beeps and the test light flashes (5A). 3.
To assure a proper fit, please follow these steps: 6A 1. Make sure transmitter is not plugged in, and the receiver is turned off. 2. Start with your pet standing comfortably (6A). 3. To make it easier to hear the warning beep, place the receiver collar on your pet with the logo side of receiver facing your pet’s chin. 4. Center the contact points underneath your pet’s neck, touching the skin. You may need to trim the hair in the area of the contact points.
Training • Remember that this system is not a solid barrier. Using it successfully requires that you spend some time training your pet. • Finish each training session on a positive note with lots of praise and play. Remove the collar after each training session. • While your pet is still learning the boundary, contain him by another means, such as with a pen or a leash. • Put a separate non-metallic collar on your pet’s neck and attach a leash.
Days 5–8 On days 5 through 8, retain the collar settings from the last training session, but stage some distractions to test your dog’s reliability. The goal is to have your pet stay within the boundary even with new temptations. Start with simple temptations and work your way up. Some examples are: • Have a family member cross from inside the boundary and exit it. • Place a toy outside the boundary. • Have a friend or neighbor walk another pet outside the boundary area.
Wireless-to-Go Your PetSafe® Stay & Play™ Compact Wireless Fence system is completely portable. Follow the setup procedures (Steps 1 through 4) wherever you wish to have containment of your pet. Reestablish the pet area and mark it with boundary flags so your pet knows his boundary zone. Place the transmitter indoors at least 3 feet from large metal objects. Note: If setting up in a metal building or vehicle, the maximum size of the pet area may be reduced.
