How to Adjust Petsafe Wireless Fence Collar: A Comprehensive Guide
Introducing the Petsafe Wireless Fence Collar, a revolutionary device designed to keep your furry friend safe and secure in your yard. Adjusting the collar is a crucial step in ensuring that your pet can enjoy the freedom of your outdoor space without the risk of wandering off. In this article, we will provide you with a comprehensive guide on how to adjust the Petsafe Wireless Fence Collar, ensuring that both you and your pet have a peace of mind.
First and foremost, it is essential to familiarize yourself with the components of the Petsafe Wireless Fence Collar. The collar consists of a receiver and a transmitter. The transmitter emits a radio signal that defines the boundary of your yard, while the receiver is attached to your pet’s collar. When your pet approaches the boundary, the receiver emits a warning tone followed by a static correction to deter them from crossing the boundary.
Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to adjust the Petsafe Wireless Fence Collar:
1. Charge the Collar: Before adjusting the collar, ensure that it is fully charged. You can do this by plugging the collar into the included charging dock.
2. Set the Boundary Width: The Petsafe Wireless Fence Collar allows you to adjust the width of the boundary. To do this, locate the Boundary Width Adjustment screw on the transmitter. Turn the screw counterclockwise to increase the boundary width and clockwise to decrease it. The recommended boundary width is between 10 to 30 feet.
3. Adjust the Correction Levels: The collar offers three correction levels (Low, Medium, and High) to accommodate different pets. To adjust the correction level, press and hold the “Correction Level” button on the transmitter for 3 seconds. The LED indicator will light up to indicate the current correction level. Press the button again to cycle through the levels.
4. Test the Boundary: Once you have adjusted the boundary width and correction level, it is essential to test the collar to ensure it is functioning correctly. Take your pet to the boundary area and observe their reaction when they approach the fence. If they do not respond to the warning tone and static correction, you may need to adjust the collar further.
5. Fine-tune the Boundary: If your pet is still having trouble staying within the boundary, you may need to fine-tune the collar settings. Adjust the Boundary Width Adjustment screw slightly and test again. Repeat this process until your pet consistently responds to the warning tone and static correction.
6. Regular Maintenance: To ensure the longevity and effectiveness of your Petsafe Wireless Fence Collar, it is essential to perform regular maintenance. This includes checking the battery level, cleaning the collar, and inspecting the transmitter for any damage.
By following these steps, you can easily adjust the Petsafe Wireless Fence Collar to meet your pet’s needs. Remember that it may take some time for your pet to get accustomed to the collar, so be patient and consistent in your training. With the right adjustments, your pet will enjoy the freedom of your yard while remaining safe and secure.
