STEP 8

Place the Boundary Flags

The Boundary Flags are visual reminders for your pet of
where the Warning Zone is located.
1. Place the Test Light contacts on the Contact Points and
hold the Receiver Collar at your pet's neck height with
the PetSafe logo facing the Boundary Wire.
®
2. Walk towards the Warning Zone until the Receiver
Collar beeps (8A).
3. Place a Boundary Flag in the ground (8B).
4. Walk back into the Pet Area until the beeping stops.
5. Repeat this process around the Warning Zone until it is
marked with Boundary Flags every 3 m.
Note: If you cannot hear the beep, repeat the process
using the flashing light as an indicator. See Step 6 for
more information.
To prevent an unintended stimulation, after the Boundary Flags have been placed, be sure to set the Static
Stimulation on the Receiver Collar back to level 1 tone only.
STEP 9

Fit the Receiver Collar

Important: The proper fit and placement of your Receiver Collar is important for effective training. The Contact Points must have
direct contact with your pet's skin on the underside of his neck.
Please read and follow the instructions in this manual. Proper fit 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 fit 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.

These steps will help keep your pet secure and comfortable. Millions of pets are comfortable while they wear stainless steel
contacts. Some pets are sensitive to contact pressure. You may find after some time that your pet is very tolerant of the collar. If
so, you may relax some of these precautions. It is important to continue daily checks of the contact area. If redness or sores are
found, discontinue use until the skin has fully healed.
