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 with the safety alert symbol, indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in minor or moderate 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. • 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. • Risk of explosion if battery is replaced by an incorrect type. Do not short circuit, mix old and new batteries, dispose of in fire, or expose to water. When batteries are stored or disposed, they must be protected from shorting. Dispose of used batteries properly. This Premier Pet™ Wireless Fence 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 Premier Pet™ Wireless Fence 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. • This product is not a toy. Keep it away from the reach of children. Proper fit of the receiver collar is important. A receiver 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 receiver collar on the dog for more than 12 hours per day. • When possible reposition the receiver collar on the pet’s neck every 1 to 2 hours. • Check the fit to prevent excessive pressure; follow the instructions in this manual. • 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. • Never connect a leash to the receiver collar; it will cause excessive pressure on the contact points. • When using a separate collar for a leash, don’t put pressure on the receiver collar. • Wash the dog’s neck area and the contact points of the receiver 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 receiver 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. • Proper training of your pet is essential to successfully using the system. During the first 2 weeks of training, do not use the system without direct supervision of your pet. • Always remove your dog’s receiver collar before performing any fence transmitter testing. • The receiver collar should not be on your dog when the system is tested. If it is, your pet may receive an unintended correction. • The boundary zone must be tested whenever an adjustment is made to the fence transmitter setting 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 receiver 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 30 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 3 hours of backup time. • Using a 900 VA UPS a consumer could expect 8 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 place anything on the top of the fence transmitter or cover any ventilation holes. This may overheat the fence transmitter and cause early transmit failure. • Do not place fence transmitter in a closet or any other confined, unventilated area. • Do not place fence transmitter on or near a metal surface. 2 +1 (866) 381-2785

The system works by transmitting a radio signal up to 90 ft. 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 beep before delivering a safe static correction through the contact points to get his attention until he returns to the pet area. 4 +1 (866) 381-2785

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 the front of this guide for Important Safety Information regarding the receiver collar. To assure a proper fit, please follow these steps: 5A 1. Make sure that the battery is not installed in the receiver collar. 2. Start with your pet standing comfortably. 3. Place the receiver collar on your pet so that the Premier Pet™ logo is facing your pet’s chin. 4. Center the contact points underneath your pet’s neck, touching the skin. If your pet has a long or thick coat, use the enclosed long 5B contact points to reach through the hair(5A). • You may need to trim the hair in the area of the contact points. Never shave the pet’s neck; this may lead to a rash or infection. • You should not make the receiver collar any tighter than is required for good contact. A receiver collar that is too tight will increase the risk of pressure necrosis in the contact area. 5. The receiver collar should fit snugly, yet loose enough to allow one finger to fit between a contact point and your pet’s neck (5B). 6. 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. 7. Once you are satisfied with the fit of the receiver collar, then you may trim any excess collar strap as follows: 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. 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. 8. Put battery in receiver collar.

Training Guide • Proper training of your pet is essential to the success of the system. • Remove the collar after each training session. • Be sure to place the collar on your dog’s neck with the Premier Pet™ logo facing up. • 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 the pet pulling on the leash toward the house, ears tucked or pulled back, tail down or tucked between legs, body lowered, nervous/ frantic movement or stiffening of the pet’s body, lip-licking or yawning. Day 1 For the first day, start with the collar set to level 1, tone-only. With your pet on a leash and his favorite treats on hand, allow him to explore the pet area. Let him cross the boundary and hear the tone from the collar, then ask him to come back into the pet area and reward him. Aim to teach your dog that being inside the pet area is rewarding, while being outside it is not. Keep your mood upbeat as dogs can understand when you are happy or upset. Do 2 or 3 training sessions for about 10-15 minutes each. Do not try to do too much too quickly. More frequent short sessions are better than less frequent, longer sessions. Days 2–4 On days 2 through 4, repeat this process but with the collar set to level 2: the mildest level of static correction. Observe whether or not your dog responds to the correction. Indicators of a response are looking around in curiosity, flicking his ears or scratching at the collar. If he does not respond, check the collar fit to make sure the contact points are making contact with his skin. If it fits correctly and your dog does not respond, move up to the next level and repeat the process. Do 2 or 3 training sessions for about 10-15 minutes each. Days 5–8 On days 5 through 8, continue where you left off on day 4, but now add in some staged distractions. The goal is to have your pet stay within the boundary even with these new temptations. Start with lower value temptations and work your way up. Some examples are: • Have a family member cross from inside the boundary out of it. • Place a toy outside the boundary. • Have a friend or neighbor walk another pet outside the boundary area. • Remember, it is important to keep your pet on a leash throughout this process while he is still learning the boundary. Also, never coax your pet to leave the pet area. Days 9–30 Once your pet consistently avoids the boundary regardless of distractions or temptations, he is ready for the next step: unleashed supervision. Stay close by with a leash at hand. Play with your pet for a while during the first few sessions. If your dog does not try to leave the boundary, occupy yourself with another task in the yard, and allow him to freely explore. Continue watching your pet. If he escapes, remove the receiver collar and lead him back into the pet area. Start these sessions at about 15 minutes and gradually work up to an hour or more. When your pet proves trustworthy, you can let him out on his own. Continue to check on him regularly. You can remove every other boundary flag every 4 days until all the flags are removed. Save them in case you move or need to train another pet. Wireless - To - Go Your Premier Pet™ Wireless Fence is completely portable. Follow the set-up procedures wherever you wish to have containment of your pet. Reestablish the pet area and mark it with boundary flags so your pet knows his boundary zone. NOTE: If setting up in a metal building or vehicle, the maximum size of the pet area may be reduced. Be sure to remove the receiver collar battery before turning off the fence transmitter. If you want to power the fence transmitter from a car or other DC source, use an inverter rated for 50 watts or more. premierpet.com 11
