How the System Works
This PetSafe
®
In-Ground Radio Fence
™
has been proven safe, comfortable, and effective for pets over 8 pounds. The system
works by producing a radio signal from the Fence Transmitter through up to 2800 feet of Boundary Wire. The Boundary
Wire is buried or attached to a fi xed object to enclose the Pet Area. You temporarily defi ne this 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. When your pet reaches the Warning Zone, the Receiver Collar gives a
warning beep and vibrates. If your pet continues into the Static Correction Zone, a safe Static Correction will be delivered
through the Contact Points to get his attention until he returns to the Pet Area.
