Transmitter Rechargeable Battery Pack
• The rechargeable Nickel Metal Hydride (NiMH) battery pack in the Transmitter is not memory
sensitive and does not require depletion before charging.
• The Transmitter comes partially charged from the factory, but will require a full charge (24
hours) before the fi rst use.
• Remember - Always keep the Transmitter away from fl ame.
• When storing the unit for long periods, remember to regularly give the Transmitter a full charge
(12 hours). This should be done once every 4 to 6 weeks.
• Excessive overcharging can shorten battery life. After initial charge, never leave the Transmitter
charging for more than 12 hours.
• If your equipment has not been charged for an extended period, you may experience a decrease
in battery life the fi rst few uses. Afterwards, the battery life will return to previous capacity levels.
• You should expect hundreds of recharge cycles from your battery pack. However, all
rechargeable batteries lose capacity over time relative to the number of recharge cycles they
experience. This is normal. If your operating time drops to half of the original life, contact the
Customer Care Centre to purchase a new battery pack.
• The battery pack should last for a period of 3-5 years. When a battery pack needs replacement,
you can order a new pack by contacting our Customer Care Centre or visiting our website
at www.petsafe.net. Please do not open the Remote Transmitter until you have received the
replacement.
