The Precision GPS Customizable Fence uses GPS technology to keep your dog within a boundary you design. The system consists of three main parts: the My PetSafe® app, the base unit and the collar.
To set up the system, you will download the My PetSafe® app on your phone, connect the base unit to your home’s Wi-Fi network and create a custom boundary by placing digital fence posts on a map of your property. You can place up to 32 digital fence posts to create the boundary, which will be saved to the collar.
Your dog will wear the collar, and once trained, will be allowed to roam freely inside the boundary or pet area. If your dog tries to leave the pet area, the collar will sound a warning tone and then deliver a safe static correction through contact points
touching your dog’s neck. The static correction is designed to get your dog’s attention and prompt him to return to the pet area.
The base unit is the hub for communication with your dog’s collar. The base unit and collar communicate through a twoway radio frequency (RF) link. While the collar is within range of the base unit (about 300 feet), you can use the My PetSafe® app to:
· Monitor the collar’s battery life
· Change the collar correction settings
If there is a power outage or your home Wi-Fi network goes out, the collar will continue to operate and will correct your dog if he approaches the boundary.

After you have set up and tested your fence using the app, finish your fence setup by wall-mounting the base unit.
First, slide the mounting bracket out of the slot on the back of the base unit.
With the flat side of the mounting bracket facing you, position the mounting bracket on the wall, at least 5 feet above the floor and near an electrical outlet.
Make sure the bracket is level, then fasten it to the wall using the provided mounting hardware. Use both screws and anchors for installation in drywall; otherwise, use screws only.
Place the base unit on the mounting bracket and then slide it down to secure it.

Fit the collar
5
With your dog standing comfortably, place the collar high on his neck, just behind his ears. The collar’s antenna should be centered at the back of your pet’s neck. Make sure the contact points are touching your dog’s skin. If your dog has long or thick hair, it may be necessary to switch to the long contact points provided or trim (not shave) the hair around the contact points. Important: Check the tightness of the collar by inserting one finger between the end of a contact point and your dog’s skin. The fit should be snug but not constricting. Once you are satisfied with the fit of the collar, remove it from your dog and trim the excess strap, making sure to allow room for growth or a thicker winter coat.
Important: Remove the collar from your dog when he comes inside. Avoid leaving the collar on your dog for more than 12 hours a day, and never attach a leash or ID tag to it — use a separate collar for that. Please read the customer care guide for more important safety information about how to fit and use the collar. 6
Train your pet

Remove the collar from your dog. With the collar powered on and close to the base unit, open your dog’s pet profile in the app and choose the desired correction level: tone only or static correction levels 1 through 10. Take care to choose the best correction level for your dog’s temperament. Follow the steps in the provided training guide to train your dog to understand and respect the boundary. Your dog should be old enough to recognize basic obedience commands such as “sit” and “stay” (approximately 6 months or older). Whether your pet loves rolling on his back in the grass or playing a game of fetch, the PetSafe® Precision GPS Customizable Fence will help keep him safe while he enjoys the great outdoors.
We’ll help keep your dog safe in your wide-open space.
