Important Safety Information
Explanation of Attention Words and Symbols used in this guide
This is the safety alert symbol. It is used to alert you to potential personal injury hazards. Obey all safety
messages that follow this symbol to avoid possible injury or death.
WARNING indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in death or
serious injury.
CAUTION, used without the safety alert symbol, indicates a hazardous situation which, if not
avoided, could result in harm to your pet.
NOTICE is used to address safe use practices not related to personal injury.
• Not for use with aggressive dogs. Do not use this product if your dog is prone to aggressive
behavior. Aggressive dogs can cause severe injury or death to their owners and others.
If you are not sure that this product is right for your dog, please talk to your veterinarian
or a certified trainer.
• Risk of electric shock. Use the Fence Transmitter indoors in dry location only.
• This PetSafe® Stay + Play Wireless Fence® system is NOT a solid barrier. The system is
designed to act as a deterrent to remind pets by Static Correction to remain in the boundary
established. It is important that you reinforce training with your pet on a regular basis. Since
the tolerance level to Static Correction varies from pet to pet, Radio Systems Corporation
CANNOT guarantee that the system will, in all cases, keep a pet within the established
boundary. Not all pets can be trained to avoid crossing the boundary! Therefore, if you have
reason to believe that your pet may pose a danger to others or harm himself if he is not kept
from crossing the boundaries, you should NOT rely solely upon the PetSafe Stay + Play
Wireless Fence system to confine your pet. Radio Systems Corporation shall NOT be liable
for any property damage, economic loss or any consequential damages, sustained as a
result of any animal crossing the boundary.
• 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.
- For additional information on bed sores and pressure necrosis,
please visit our website.
www.petsafe.net 3
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.
• You may need to trim the hair in the area of the Contact Points. Never shave the dog’s neck;
this may lead to a rash or infection.
• Always remove your dog’s Receiver Collar before performing any Transmitter testing.
• The Receiver Collar should not be on your dog when the system is tested. Your pet may
receive an unintended correction.
• The Boundary Width of the system must be tested whenever an adjustment is made to the
containment field to prevent unintended corrections to your pet.
• Remove the Receiver Collar from your pet when indoors to avoid activation of
the Receiver Collar.
• If you use a collar and leash for training, be sure the extra collar does not put
pressure on the contact points.
• Never remove power from the system when the collar is on the pet.
This may activate the Receiver Collar.
• Radio Systems® Corporation recommends the use of an Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS)
for use with your wireless fence. Should the power go out at your home, your pet will be
unprotected. Power outages can be unpredictable, and the use of a UPS will provide you
with some time to properly restrain your pet.
In rare instances, if your pet is near the boundary at the time when the power fails, it is possible
that your pet will receive a correction. This correction will stop after a 15 second timeout period
has been reached. This is due to the operation of the collar: the collar is activated by the
absence of the containment signal.
While results will vary depending on the UPS manufacturer’s specifications the following are
typical examples to guide your choice of UPS:
• Using a 400 VA UPS a consumer should expect 1 hour of backup time.
• Using a 900 VA UPS a consumer could expect 4 hours of backup time.
If settings below maximum fence size are used, additional backup time will result. At minimum
fence size settings backup time may be more than two times the backup time estimated at
maximum fence size.
• To prevent an unintended correction, after the Boundary Flags have been placed, be sure to
set the static correction on the Receiver Collar back to level 1 tone only.
• Do not charge your Receiver Collar every night. Charging too often can reduce battery life.
Charge your Receiver Collar when the Receiver Indicator Light blinks yellow; or when the
light blinks red.
• Do not place anything on the top of the Transmitter or cover any ventilation holes.
This may overheat the Transmitter and cause early transmit failure.
• Do not place Transmitter in a closet or any other confined, unventilated area.
• Do not place Transmitter on or near a metal surface.

Transmitter
How the System Works
The PetSafe® Stay + Play 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. When your pet reaches the Boundary Zone, the Receiver Collar gives a warning tone
before delivering a safe Static Correction through the Contact Points to get his attention until he returns
to the Pet Area.
Key Definitions
Transmitter: Transmits the radio signal and is the center of the Pet Area.
Pet Area: Distance from the Transmitter where your pet can roam freely.
Boundary Zone: 2 to 3 foot wide area outside the Pet Area
where your pet’s Receiver Collar will begin to tone and then
begin to deliver a Static Correction. The correction will start
in the Boundary Zone and continue anywhere beyond
the Pet Area. Note: The Receiver Collar is equipped with
a safety time-out feature that will stop correcting after
15 seconds if your pet remains outside the Pet Area.
Receiver Collar: Receives the radio signal from the Transmitter.
Receiver Indicator Light: Indicates the level of
correction at which the Receiver Collar is set.
This light also indicates battery status.
Contact Points: Deliver the safe Static Correction
when your pet moves into the Boundary Zone.
Mode Button: Turns Receiver on/off and adjusts
the level of Static Correction your pet receives
outside the Pet Area.
Receiver Charger: Charges the batteries inside the Receiver Collar
Receiver Charge Jack: Connection point for charging Receiver battery.
Power Light: Indicates when the Transmitter is on.
Power Jack: Where the Power Adapter plugs into the Transmitter.
The Transmitter is powered by a standard 120-volt outlet.
Boundary Switch: Adjust according to the size of the Pet Area desired.
Note: Adjusting the switch does not change the level of Static Correction on the Receiver Collar.
Boundary Control Dial: Adjusts the distance from the Transmitter to the Boundary Zone.
Note: Adjusting the dial does not change the level of Static Correction on the Receiver Collar.
Alarm Disable Button: Silences Power Loss Alarm and re-initiates the Transmitter radio signal after
Metal Interference Alarm activates.
Metal Interference Alarm: Disables the Transmitter radio signal to protect the Transmitter from
damage if placed too close to metal objects.

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. 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.
• In an area where temperatures do not fall below -10° F.
• On a non-metal table or other hard surface to ensure proper ventilation (1A).
• Do not place anything on top of Transmitter or cover any
ventilation holes. This may overheat the Transmitter and cause
early transmit failure.
• Do not place Transmitter in a closet or any other confined,
unventilated area.
• Do not place Transmitter on or near a metal surface.
• At least 3 feet from large metal objects, as these items may reduce the size and
shape of your Pet Area (1B). Placing the Transmitter inside a metal building or shed
can reduce the maximum range of the Stay + Play Wireless Fence® system.
You can mount on a wall (1A). A mounting template is included on the back of this guide.
The Transmitter has three built in warning alarms: a Power Loss Alarm,
a Metal Interference Alarm, and a Transmission Failure Alarm.
• The Transmitter 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 3 ways to turn off the Power Loss Alarm.
1. Plug adapter into a functional 120-volt outlet.
2. Unplug Transmitter power Adapter from the Power Jack located on the bottom of the Transmitter.
3. Press the Alarm Disable button for 5 seconds then release. Three short tones will sound to signify
the alarm has been turned off.
• The Metal Interference Alarm sounds an intermittent double tone alarm indicating that the Transmitter
has been set towards the maximum range and placed on or close to a metal surface. If the Metal
Interference Alarm sounds, your pet is no longer contained. You must relocate the Transmitter
away from metal or the alarm will continue to sound and the transmission from the Transmitter
will remain disabled.
There are 2 ways to turn off the Metal Interference Alarm and re-initiate the Transmitter radio signal.
1. Unplug Transmitter Power Adapter from the Power Jack located on the bottom of the Transmitter.
2. Press the Alarm Disable Button for 5 seconds then release.
• The Transmission Failure Alarm makes a continuous tone indicating a Transmitter problem.
In this situation, your pet can no longer be contained. Contact the Customer Care Center
for a replacement at 1-800-732-2677.

Step 2 Charge the Receiver Collar
The Receiver Collar Charger is designed to plug into a standard AC wall outlet.
The Receiver Collar light will glow red when the Receiver Charger is properly
seated into the Receiver Charge Jack. The light will turn green when charging is
complete. A built in safety circuit prevents the Receiver Collar from overcharging.
The Receiver Collar will achieve a full charge in 2-3 hours. Each charge can
last up to 3 weeks depending upon frequency of use.
• Do not charge your Receiver Collar every night. Frequent
charging can have a negative effect on the battery. We
recommend that the Receiver Collar be used until the Receiver
Indicator Light blinks yellow or red.
To 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.
Step 3 - Prepare the Receiver Collar
Your Receiver Collar comes with Short Contact Points. Use the Long Contact
Points for pets with long or thick hair. Tighten the Contact Points using the
Contact Point Wrench (3A). Check tightness weekly.
Turning the Receiver Collar ON
Press and hold the Mode Button continuously for 5 seconds (3B). The green or
yellow or red Receiver Indicator Light will turn ON for 5 seconds (3C) to indicate
battery status, followed by the red Receiver Indicator Light flashing the Static
Correction Level Settings.
Turning the Receiver Collar OFF
Press and hold the Mode Button continuously for 5 seconds.
The red Receiver Indicator Light will be ON during this time.
The red Receiver Indicator Light will then turn OFF and all Receiver Indicator
Lights will stay OFF indicating that the unit is turned OFF.
To extend the time between charging the Receiver Collar, consider turning
OFF the Receiver Collar when it is not in use.

To 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. Pushing the Correction Level Button while
the Receiver Collar is on level 6 will cause the Receiver Collar to revert to level 1. Refer to the Function
and Response Table to choose the Static Correction level that best fits your pet.

Over Correction Protection
If your pet enters the Boundary Zone or continues anywhere beyond the Pet Area, this feature limits the
Static Correction duration to 15 seconds. While the system locks out further Static Correction, the green
light will remain on for 10 seconds.
In the unlikely event that your pet leaves the Pet Area, he will not receive a Static Correction
upon return to the Pet Area.
www.petsafe.net 11
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. Set the Correction
Level to 2 or above.
2. Hold the Test Light Contacts to the Contact Points. (4B)
3. Walk toward the Boundary Zone holding the Receiver Collar at your pet’s
neck level
(4E)
until the Test Light flashes (4F).
Save Test Light for future testing.
Note: If your next-door neighbor has an In-Ground Containment System, see
Troubleshooting section page 24.
To maximize your Pet Area, make sure the Boundary Switch is on “High” and the
Boundary Control Dial is set to “8” (4C & 4D). Plug Power Adapter into Power Jack
and standard 120-volt outlet.
Two-Person Method
Hold the Receiver Collar at your pet’s neck height (4E) with logo side facing away
from the Transmitter and Contact Points facing upwards. Walk to the
edge of the desired Pet Area. Facing away from the Transmitter, hold
the Receiver Collar at the edge of the desired
Pet Area (4F).
Starting with the Boundary Control Dial set to “8”, have a second
person turn the dial down SLOWLY. When the Receiver Collar starts
to beep, tell the person to stop turning the Boundary Control Dial.
Record your settings on the next page for future reference.
One-Person Method
Measure the shortest distance from the desired Boundary Zone to the Transmitter. Find the distance on the
Transmitter Range Chart on the next page and set the Boundary Switch and Boundary Control Dial. Hold
the Test Light Contacts to the Contact Points (4B). Take the Receiver Collar to the Boundary Zone with the
logo side facing away from the Transmitter and Contact Points
facing upwards (4E). Hold the Receiver Collar at your pet’s
neck level (4F) until the Receiver Collar beeps and the Test
Light flashes. If the Receiver Collar beeps before or after the
desired Boundary Zone, return to the Transmitter and adjust
the Boundary Control Dial. Repeat this process until
the Receiver Collar is beeping at the desired location.
Record your settings on the next page for future reference.

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. Place a Boundary Flag in the ground (5B).
4. Walk back into the Pet Area until the beeping stops.
5. Repeat this process around the Boundary Zone until it is marked with
Boundary Flags every 10 feet.
The Boundary Flags may be in different parts of the Boundary Zone
and may not be in a line. The Boundary Zone is 2 to 3 feet wide.
5A

www.petsafe.net 13
Step 6 - 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.
• For additional information on bed sores and pressure necrosis, please visit our website.
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.
You may need to trim the hair in the area of the Contact Points. Never shave the dog’s neck;
this may lead to a rash or infection.
To assure a proper fit, please follow these steps:
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. Never shave the dog’s
neck; this may lead to a rash or infection.
6A
14 1-800-732-2677 www.petsafe.net 15
1. Check the tightness of the Receiver Collar by
inserting one finger between the end of a Contact
Point and your pet’s neck. The fit should be snug but
not constricting (6B).
2. Allow your pet to wear the collar for several minutes
then recheck the fit. Check the fit again as your pet
becomes more comfortable with the Receiver Collar.
3. Trim the collar as follows (6C):
a. Mark the desired length of the Receiver Collar
with a pen. Allow for growth if your pet is young
or grows a thick winter coat.
6B
b. Remove the Receiver Collar from your pet and
cut off the excess.
c. Before placing the Receiver Collar back onto
your pet, seal the edge of the cut collar by
applying a flame along the frayed edge.
6C
To Re-Thread the Collar
Slide Buckle
Ridges
The slide buckle prevents the collar from becoming loose
around your pet’s neck.
The ridges must be facing up; the collar will slip if it is not
properly threaded.

Training Guide
Be Patient With Your Pet
Important: Proper training of your pet is essential to the success of the PetSafe® Stay + Play
Wireless Fence® system. Read this section completely before beginning to train your pet.
Remember that the PetSafe® Stay + Play Wireless Fence® system is not a solid barrier.
• Have fun with your pet throughout the training process. Training should be
fun, fair, firm and consistent.
• Train for 10 to 15 minutes at a time. Don’t try to do too much too
quickly. More-frequent short sessions are better than less-frequent
longer sessions.
• We suggest a minimum of 14 days of training. Depending on your pet
and how he learns, the training could take more or less time.
• If your pet shows signs of stress, slow down the training schedule, add
additional days of training, or increase the amount of play time with your
pet in the Pet Area. Common stress signals include:
-Pet pulling on leash toward the house
-Ears tucked
-Tail down
-Body lowered
-Nervous / frantic movement or stiffening of pet’s body
• Your pet must be completely comfortable near the Boundary Flags at the end of every
training session. Spend at least 5 minutes of “play time” at the completion of each session within
10 feet of the Boundary Flags.
• Finish each training session on a positive note with lots of praise and play.
• Remove the Receiver Collar after each training session.
• Be sure to contain your pet by another means during the training period (e.g. pen, tie-out, leash, etc.).
• During training, if you need to take your pet out of the Pet Area, remove the Receiver Collar and either
pick your pet up or put him in the car to pass out of the Pet Area.
• Even if you think your pet is responding well to the training, complete the entire training.
Reinforcement is important!

Phase 1
Day 1 - Boundary Awareness
Tone Only Training Mode
Perform three sessions on day 1, each training session lasting 10-15 minutes.
Goal:
To have your pet learn that the Boundary Flags and warning beep from the Receiver Collar
define the new Pet Area.
Setup:
• Program the Static Correction Level on the Receiver Collar to Level 1 Tone Only training mode.
• Put a separate non-metallic collar on your pet’s neck ABOVE the Receiver Collar and attach a leash.
Be sure the extra collar does not put pressure on the Contact Points.
• Have tiny pieces of treats that your pet will find desirable available
(hot dogs or lunch meat work well).
• Have your pet’s favorite play toy available.
Steps:
1. Begin by walking your pet on a leash in the Pet Area. Calmly praise and talk to your pet.
2. Move toward the Boundary Flags (1A). Keep your mood happy.
3. With full control of your pet on a leash, walk to the flags. As your pet enters the Boundary Zone, the
Receiver Collar will begin to beep (1B). Allow your pet to stay in the Boundary Zone for up to 2 seconds
then gently help him back into the Pet Area (1C). Immediately praise and offer your pet a treat as he
enters the Pet Area, even if you have helped with the leash.
4. Repeat this process at the same Boundary Flag until your pet resists going into the Boundary Zone.
5. Aim to master 3-4 Boundary Flags per session. Make this FUN! Praise if your pet quickly retreats or
resists going into the Boundary Zone.

Phase 2
Days 2 thru 4 - Continue Boundary Awareness
Introduction to Static Correction
Perform three sessions per day, each lasting 10-15 minutes.
Goal:
To train your pet to stay in the Pet Area and respect the boundary.
Setup:
• Program the Static Correction Level on the Receiver Collar to Level 2.
• Put a separate non-metallic collar on your pet’s neck ABOVE the Receiver Collar and attach a leash.
Be sure the extra collar does not put pressure on the Contact Points.
• Have tiny pieces of treats available (hot dogs or lunch meat work well).
• Have your pet’s favorite play toy available.
Steps:
1. Repeat steps 1-5 in Phase One.
2. If your pet does not respond to the Static Correction, confirm that the Receiver Collar is fitting
properly according to Step 6 on page 13.
3. If the Receiver Collar is fitted properly and your pet does not respond to the Static Correction,
increase the Static Correction Level by 1. Watch for slight reactions at first such as ears up, head
turned, looking at the ground.
4. Stay at the same flag until your pet resists going into the Boundary Zone.
Phase 3
Days 5 thru 8 - Distraction Phase
Perform three training sessions per day, each lasting 10 to 15 minutes.
Goal:
To train your pet to stay within the Pet Area with distractions outside of the Pet Area.
Setup:
• Program the Static Correction Level on the Receiver Collar to level 2 or higher depending on the
reaction results from days 2 thru 4.
• Put a separate non-metallic collar on your pet’s neck ABOVE the Receiver Collar and attach a leash.
Be sure the extra collar does not put pressure on the Contact Points.
• Have tiny pieces of treats available (hot dogs or lunch meat work well).
• Have your pet’s favorite play toy available.
• Create distractions to tempt your pet to enter the Boundary Zone, such as:
-Have a family member cross from inside the Pet Area to outside of it.
-Throw a ball or treat outside of the Pet Area.
-Have a neighbor walk their pet outside of the Pet Area.
• Gradually increase distraction level. Never coax or call your pet out of the Pet Area.
18 1-800-732-2677 www.petsafe.net 19
Steps:
1. With full control of your pet on a leash, have the distraction presented.
2. If your pet does not move toward the distraction, praise and offer a treat.
3. If your pet does react to the distraction, allow him to go into the Boundary Zone.
4. Help your pet back into the Pet Area if he does not turn back after 2 seconds.
5. Treat and praise your pet anytime he comes back into the Pet Area with or without help.
6. Repeat this process with other distractions. Use other family members during this process.
7. If your pet does not respond to the Static Correction, confirm that the Receiver Collar is fitting
properly according to Step 6 on page 13.
8. If the Receiver Collar is fitted properly and if your pet does not respond to the Static Correction,
increase the Static Correction Level by 1.
Phase 4
Days 9 thru 14 - Unleashed Supervision
Training sessions should start at 10-15 minutes, gradually increasing to
over an hour.
Your pet is ready for this step only when he clearly avoids the entire
Boundary Zone, regardless of any distractions or temptations.
During this step, do not leave your pet unattended.
Goal:
To give your pet free run of the Pet Area off the leash.
Setup:
Adjust the Receiver Collar to the permanent setting appropriate
for your pet.
Steps:
1. Enter the Pet Area with your pet wearing the Receiver Collar.
2. Walk around the yard and play with your pet, staying within the Pet Area at all times.
3. Preoccupy yourself with another task in the yard while watching your pet.
www.petsafe.net 19
Phase 5
Days 15 thru 30 - Pet Monitoring
Your pet is ready to run! Check in on your pet at regular intervals.
Note: After you are satisfied your pet’s training is complete, remove every other Boundary Flag
every 4 days until all flags are removed. Save Boundary Flags for future use.
Taking Your Pet Out of the Pet Area
Important: Remove the Receiver Collar and leave it in the Pet Area.
Once your pet learns the Boundary Zone, he will be reluctant to cross it for walks
or car rides.
Option 1: Replace the Receiver Collar with a regular collar. Put your pet in a
car that is within the Pet Area and drive him out of the Pet Area.
Option 2: Replace the Receiver Collar with a regular collar and leash. Walk
your pet out of the Pet Area while giving a command such as “OK” at a specific
place of the Boundary Zone (the end of your driveway, sidewalk, etc.). Always
leave the Pet Area with a leash at this place and your pet will associate leaving
the Pet Area only on a leash, only at this place, and only with a person. You
may initially need to convince your pet to leave the Pet Area with a food treat
and lots of praise.
Note: You may also carry your pet out of the Pet Area.
Congratulations!
You have now
successfully completed
the training program.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Receiver Collar
waterproof?
• Yes.
Will the PetSafe® Stay + Play
Wireless Fence® system
cover a larger circle than
210 feet across?
• You can use another Wireless Transmitter with overlapping
boundaries of at least 5-10 feet to increase the size of
the Pet Area.
Will a sloping yard or hills affect
the Pet Area?
• The Transmitter signal extends up to 105 feet in all directions.
A sloping yard or a yard with hills can cause the Pet Area to
appear less or more than expected. Consider repositioning the
Transmitter to maximize your Pet Area.
Can I use more than one
Receiver Collar with the
Stay + Play Wireless Fence?
• Yes. There is no limit to the number of pets you can contain with
the Stay + Play Wireless Fence. You must purchase an additional
Wireless Pet Fence Receiver Collar for each pet. Contact the
Customer Care Center at 1-800-732-2677 or visit our website at
www.petsafe.net to locate a retailer near you.
Will the Stay + Play Wireless
Fence® keep other pets out
of my yard?
• No. The Stay + Play Wireless Fence is only effective on pets who
wear the Receiver Collar.
Is there a hand-held remote
Transmitter that will work
with the Wireless System
Receiver Collar?
• No. You would need to purchase a separate Remote
Training System. Contact the Customer Care Center at
1-800-732-2677 or visit our website at www.petsafe.net
to locate a retailer near you.
If I have a question about my
Stay + Play Wireless Fence or
need replacement parts, where
can I get answers or service?
• Contact the Customer Care Center at 1-800-732-2677 or visit
our web site at www.petsafe.net.
Can I use the Stay + Play
Wireless Fence on an
aggressive pet?
• This product is not for use with aggressive pets. If you are unsure
if your dog is aggressive, please consult your veterinarian or a
certified trainer.
Can I use the Stay + Play
Wireless Fence on a cat?
• The Stay + Play Wireless Fence can be used as long as the cat
can comfortably wear the Receiver Collar.
What happens if the power
goes out?
• The Stay + Play Wireless Fence is designed to recognize power
outages and shuts down without activating the Receiver Collar.
However, if your pet is near the Boundary Zone during the power
failure, he may receive a Static Correction. The Transmitter will
sound an intermittent alarm for up to 30 minutes to alert you
to the power failure.
If my pet leaves the Pet Area,
how long will he be corrected?
• Your pet will receive Static Correction for up to 15 seconds as
long as he is outside the Pet Area.
How often do I need to charge
the Receiver Collar battery?
• Each charge can last up to 3 weeks depending upon frequency
of use. The Receiver Indicator Light acts as a low battery
indicator, flashing red every 4 to 5 seconds when battery
charging is required.
Can I place the Receiver on
another collar?
• Yes. You may use any 3/4 inch, non-metallic collar strap that will
thread through the Receiver.
22 1-800-732-2677 www.petsafe.net 23
Do I need to perform maintenance
on my Stay + Play Wireless Fence?
• Check your pet’s neck daily for irritation from the
Contact Points.
• Check the Contact Points on the Receiver Collar weekly
to make sure they are clean.
• Use the Contact Point Wrench to make sure the Contact
Points are secure. Do not over tighten.
• Check the fit of the Receiver Collar weekly.
• The Receiver Indicator Light acts as a Battery Status
Indicator, flashing red every 4 to 5 seconds when battery
charging is required.
How do I know the battery in the
Receiver Collar is still working?
• Check Battery Status Indicator Lights.
Will vehicles, buildings and
landscape features (trees, shrubs,
etc.) affect the performance of the
Stay + Play Wireless Fence
?
• Yes. Placing the Transmitter inside a metal building
can reduce the maximum range of the Stay + Play
Wireless Fence.
• Parking a vehicle within the Pet Area, can reduce the range of
the system and cause your pet to receive a Static Correction
where it otherwise would not if the vehicle was not there.
• Fixed large metal objects such as metal sheds can affect the
signal by reducing the maximum range of the system at the
location of the object. As a result, your pet may receive
a Static Correction.
What do I do if my pet’s neck
becomes red and irritated?
• This condition is due to the Contact Points irritating the skin.
Discontinue use of the Receiver Collar for a few days. If the
condition persists beyond 48 hours, see your veterinarian.
Once the skin returns to normal, replace the Receiver Collar
and monitor the skin condition closely.
Can I attach a leash to the
Receiver Collar?
• No. This can result in pulling the Contact Points too tightly
against your pet’s neck or the collar may break. Attach a
leash to a separate, non-metallic collar positioned above
the Receiver Collar.
Why does my Receiver Collar have
a tone only mode?
• The tone only mode can be used in training your pet to
his boundary or for well-trained pets that no longer require
Static Correction.
www.petsafe.net 23
Troubleshooting
The Transmitter is sounding
an intermittent double
tone alarm.
• The intermittent double tone is the Metal Interference Alarm.
This alarm sounds if the Transmitter is placed too close to a metal
surface. When this alarm sounds, the transmission output is disabled
and your pet is no longer being contained. Relocate the Transmitter
and either unplug the Power Adapter from the Power Jack or press
the Alarm Disable Button for 5 seconds then release.
The Transmitter is sounding
a intermittent single tone
when I unplug the Power
Adapter from the
wall outlet.
• The Power Loss Alarm in the Transmitter is activated to alert you
that power has been removed from the Transmitter and your pet
is no longer being contained. To turn off the Power Loss Alarm,
unplug the Power Adapter from the Power Jack located on the
bottom of the Transmitter or press the Alarm Disable Button
for 5 seconds then release.
The Transmitter is
generating a loud
continuous tone.
• The Transmitter has a built in Transmission Failure Alarm that
continuously monitors the Transmitter output. If a transmission
failure ever occurs the alarm warns you that your pet is no longer
being contained. Contact the Customer Care Center at
1-800-732-2677 for a replacement Transmitter.
The Receiver Collar is not
beeping when setting up
the Boundary Zone.
• Make sure Receiver Collar is turned on and Battery Status Lights are
flashing every 4-5 seconds
• Charge Receiver Collar
• For some people, the tone may be difficult to hear.
• Use Test Light as explained in the “Test Light Instructions” section,
and use it to determine the location of Boundary Zone.
• Check that the Transmitter is set up according to directions.
The Receiver Collar is not
beeping or administering a
Static Correction.
• Make sure Receiver Collar is turned on and Battery Status Lights
are flashing every 4-5 seconds
• Charge Receiver Collar
• Check that the Transmitter is plugged into a working 120-volt outlet,
the Power Light is on, and the Transmitter controls are set at your
desired settings.
The Receiver Collar is
beeping everywhere.
• Check that the Transmitter is plugged into a working standard
120-volt outlet, the Power Light is on, and the Transmitter controls
are set at your desired settings.
• Bring Receiver Collar within 10 feet of the Transmitter to reset.
• Make sure no continuous alarm is sounding on the Transmitter.
The Receiver Collar is
beeping inside the house.
• It is recommended to remove the Receiver Collar from your pet
when indoors to avoid activation of the Receiver Collar.
• Make sure the Transmitter is
plugged in
and set up according
to the directions.
• Ensure the entire house is within the Pet Area. The Transmitter may
need to be moved to adjust the Pet Area to include the entire house.
• If relocating the Transmitter, remove the Receiver Collar from your pet
before removing power from the Transmitter.
My pet is receiving a
Static Correction in his
metal crate.
• The Receiver Collar activates when it loses the Transmitter signal.
The metal crate may block the Transmitter signal which causes the
Receiver Collar to activate.
• Remove the Receiver Collar from your pet when placing him
in his metal crate.
The Boundary Zone seems
to fluctuate.
• This is normal for the electro magnetic field of the Stay + Play Wireless
Fence. The field may be affected by surrounding “electronic noise,”
which can cause it to fluctuate up to 5%.
• Where the Receiver Collar activates is influenced by the speed
and orientation of the Receiver Collar as your pet enters the
Boundary Zone.
24 1-800-732-2677 www.petsafe.net 25
The Receiver Collar activates in
the middle of the yard.
• The Receiver Collar activates when it loses the Transmitter signal.
This sometimes occurs if a large metal object is between the
Receiver Collar and Transmitter, if the orientation of the Receiver
Collar changes near the Boundary Zone, or if the surrounding
“electronic noise” interferes with the signal. If this continues to occur,
consider relocating the Transmitter and resetting the Pet Area.
The Receiver Collar is beeping
but my pet is not responding to
the Static Correction.
• Make sure the Static Correction Level is set at 2 or above.
• Test the Receiver Collar with the Test Light.
• If the Test Light flashes, check the fit of the Receiver Collar.
• Trim your pet’s fur where the Contact Points touch the neck and/or
switch to the longer Contact Points.
• Contact Points must be in contact with dog’s skin.
• Increase the Static Correction Level.
• Repeat training steps to reinforce training.
My pet reacts strongly to the
Static Correction and has
become fearful.
• Lower the Static Correction Level.
• Make sure you are in control of the situation when your pet receives
his first Static Corrections (have him on a leash attached to a
separate, non-metallic collar) and lead him into the Pet Area and
praise him. If your pet remains fearful, suspend training and start
again the next day. Make sure to end all training sessions on a
positive note with lots of praise and play.
The Transmitter Power Light
is not on.
• Make sure the Power Light on the Power Adapter is on when
plugged into a working 120 volt wall outlet.
• If Power Adapter Light is not on, contact the Customer Care Center
for a replacement Power Adapter.
I was setting up the Pet Area
and after I turned down the
Boundary Control Dial, the
Receiver Collar would no longer
beep or correct.
• You may have turned the Boundary Control Dial down too quickly,
causing the Receiver Collar to go into power-fail mode. This is a
safety feature designed to protect your pet when power to the
Transmitter goes out. With the Receiver Collar within 10 feet of
the Transmitter, readjust the Boundary Control Dial as shown
in Step 4 and reset the Boundary Zone, making sure to turn
the dial down slowly.
My next-door neighbor has an
In-Ground Containment System
and the Receiver Collar does
not activate near their property.
• Your neighbor’s In-Ground FenceTM System signal may interfere
with the operation of the Receiver Collar preventing activation
close to their fence. To minimize the interference, reduce the size
of the Pet Area or move the Transmitter away from the In-Ground
Fence System.
• Adjust the Pet Area so that the Receiver Collar activates at least
5 feet beyond the reduced Boundary setting when walking towards
the In-Ground Fence System.
The Receiver Collar has injured
my pet’s neck.
• Failing to follow the important safety information at the front of the
Operating and Training Guide has caused pressure ulcers. Some
descriptions of advanced pressure ulcers describe the sores as
looking like burns on the dog’s neck. Be assured that electronic
collars do not use enough energy to create electrical burns. The
energy in an output pulse is only a few thousandths of a Joule; it is
similar in nature to the static pulse that you may feel when getting
out of your car. In some cases, pressure ulcers are described as
chemical burns. The battery in your Receiver Collar is sealed, in
addition, your collar’s housing is also sealed. This redundant sealing
makes it virtually impossible, without misuse or abuse, for your
Receiver Collar battery to leak onto your pet’s neck. Please review
and follow the important safety information on page 2, and the
instructions in Step 6 under the heading “Fit the Receiver Collar”
on pages 13 and 14.
