Installation and Setup
Setting up the PetSafe Stay and Play Wireless Fence is straightforward․ Begin by determining your desired containment area and placing the base unit in the center․ Plug in the base unit and ensure it’s at least 5 feet away from metal objects․ Use the provided Test Light Tool to check boundary coverage and adjust settings as needed for optimal performance․
Placing the Base Unit
Proper placement of the base unit is crucial for the effective operation of the PetSafe Stay and Play Wireless Fence․ Begin by determining the desired containment area for your pet․ The base unit should be positioned in the center of this area to ensure a consistent circular signal․ Avoid placing it near metal objects, appliances, or surfaces, as these can interfere with the signal strength and coverage․ Ideally, the base unit should be at least 5 feet away from any metal objects to maintain optimal performance․
Once the location is chosen, plug the power cord into the base unit and connect it to a standard wall outlet․ Ensure the base unit is level and stable to prevent any signal disruptions․ Power on the unit by switching the mode from 0 to I․ The base unit will emit a circular signal, creating the wireless fence around your pet’s play area․ For further guidance, refer to the Fence Planning Tool provided by PetSafe to ensure the best placement and coverage for your specific yard layout․
Inserting the Battery
To ensure your PetSafe Stay and Play Wireless Fence operates correctly, proper battery insertion is essential․ Begin by locating the battery compartment on the collar․ Use the provided Test Light Tool or a coin to open the compartment, as this helps prevent damage to the battery or collar․
Align the arrow on the battery with the arrow on the collar․ Gently insert the battery and turn it until it clicks into place, ensuring the lock symbol on the collar aligns with the battery․ This secure placement guarantees proper functionality․ The battery typically lasts 1 to 2 months, depending on usage and settings․
After insertion, power on the collar by pressing and holding the power button for 5 seconds․ The light will flash green, followed by a red flash indicating the correction level, and return to green once active․ Always turn off the collar when not in use to conserve battery life․ Replace the battery when the low-battery indicator alerts you, ensuring uninterrupted protection for your pet․
Training Your Pet
Training your pet to use the PetSafe Stay and Play Wireless Fence is a crucial step to ensure their safety and understanding of the system․ The process requires patience and consistency, with a recommended minimum of 14 days of training․ Begin by introducing your pet to the boundary flags, which mark the edge of the safe zone․ Place these flags every 5 feet around the perimeter to create a clear visual guide for your pet․
Start by allowing your pet to explore the area while wearing the collar but with the correction level set to tone-only mode․ This helps them associate the sound with the boundary․ Gradually increase the correction level as needed, ensuring your pet responds appropriately․ Use positive reinforcement, such as treats and praise, to encourage good behavior․
After your pet is comfortable with the boundary, remove the flags to test their understanding․ Monitor their movements closely and adjust the correction level if necessary․ Remember, consistency is key to successful training․ If your pet experiences discomfort or resistance, consult the manual or contact customer support for guidance․
Training should be done in short sessions to keep your pet focused and avoid stress․ Always ensure the collar fits properly and is not causing discomfort․ With time and patience, your pet will learn to stay within the safe zone, enjoying freedom while remaining secure․
