Setup and Installation
The PetSafe Stay & Play Wireless Fence is designed for quick and easy setup, typically within 1-2 hours. The system creates a circular boundary without the need for digging or burying wires.
- Transmitter Placement: Place the transmitter indoors in a central location to establish the circular boundary. Ensure it is near an electrical outlet.

Operating Your PetSafe Stay & Play Wireless Fence
The system operates by emitting a radio signal from the transmitter, creating an invisible boundary. When your pet approaches this boundary, the receiver collar delivers a warning tone, followed by a static correction if they continue to move closer to the edge.
- Correction Levels: The collar features 5 adjustable static correction levels, allowing you to customize the intensity to suit your pet's temperament.
- Tone-Only Mode: A tone-only training mode is available for initial training, providing an audible warning without static correction.
- Static-Free Re-entry: The system allows your pet to return to the safe area without receiving a correction if they cross the boundary.
- Multi-Pet Customization: Additional collars can be added to the system to contain multiple pets, each with their own customized settings.

Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and effectiveness of your PetSafe Stay & Play Wireless Fence system.
- Battery Replacement: The receiver collar uses a replaceable 6-Volt battery (RFA-67). Battery life typically lasts 1-3 months depending on usage. A low battery indicator will alert you when replacement is needed.
- Collar Cleaning: Periodically clean the receiver collar and contact points to ensure proper function and prevent skin irritation for your pet.
- Transmitter Check: Ensure the transmitter remains plugged in and powered on for continuous operation.

Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your PetSafe Stay & Play Wireless Fence, consider the following:
- Inconsistent Boundary: Wireless systems can sometimes experience signal inconsistencies due to environmental factors or interference. Try repositioning the transmitter to a more central location or away from large metal objects.
- Collar Not Correcting: Check the collar's battery. Ensure the contact points are making proper contact with your pet's skin. Test the collar using the provided test light tool.
- Power Outages: In areas with frequent power outages, an Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) is advised for the transmitter to prevent unintended activation of the receiver collar when power is restored.
- Pet Not Responding: Review the training steps. Ensure the correction level is appropriate for your pet. Some pets may require a higher correction level or more consistent training sessions.
