Additional Information
• The Boundary Wire is buried so that it is not accidentally tripped over or cut. Use care when
using a weed killer eater or when digging near the Boundary Wire to prevent damage.
• The system should only be used with healthy pets. Contact your veterinarian if you have
concerns about the medical condition of your pet (medication, pregnant, heart conditions, etc.).
• This system is not for vicious or aggressive pets. If your pet may pose a threat to others,
DO NOT USE THIS SYSTEM. If you are unsure if your dog is aggressive, please consult
your veterinarian or a certifi ed trainer.
• The PetSafe In-Ground Fence™ is for residential use only.
• The Static Correction will get your pet’s attention, but will not cause harm. It is designed
to startle, not to punish.
• Test the Receiver Collar every 3 to 6 months. Battery life depends upon how often
the Receiver Collar is activated.

Short Loop Test
The Short Loop Test is a simple test to determine if each component (Fence Transmitter, Receiver
Collar and Boundary Wire) is functioning properly.
1. Disconnect the Boundary Wire.
2. Cut approximately 3 m (10 ft) of unused Boundary Wire and connect it to the
Boundary Wire Terminals.
3. Attach the Test Light to the Receiver Collar.
4. Spread the Boundary Wire out into a circle. Set the Boundary Control Switch to B.
5. Set the Boundary Width Control knob to 10 and the Mode to 1-3.
6. If the Loop Indicator Light is not lit, then your Fence Transmitter is not functioning properly.
Contact the Customer Care Centre.
7. If the Loop Indicator Light is lit, disconnect one end of the Boundary Wire from the
Boundary Wire Terminal.
8. If the loop alarm does not sound, the Fence Transmitter needs to be replaced. Contact
the Customer Care Centre.
9. If the loop alarm does sound, plug the Boundary Wire back into the Boundary Wire Terminal.
10. Hold the Receiver Collar next to the 3 m (10 ft) length of Boundary Wire. The Receiver Collar
should beep about 0.3 m (1 ft) away from the Boundary Wire. The Test Light should then fl ash as
you hold the Receiver Collar closer to the Boundary Wire.
11. If the Receiver Collar does not beep and the Test Light does not fl ash, replace the batteries
in the Receiver Collar. If it still does not beep and the Test Light does not fl ash, contact the
Customer Care Centre.
12. If the Receiver Collar beeps, there may be a complete or partial break in the Boundary Wire.
See the “Locating a Break in the Boundary Wire” section.
