General Safety Precautions

• Do not use this product if your dog is prone to aggressive behavior. Consult a veterinarian or certified trainer if unsure.
• ⚠️ Battery Hazard: Risk of explosion if battery is replaced by an incorrect type. Do not short circuit, mix old/new batteries, dispose of in fire, or expose to water. Protect batteries from shorting during storage or disposal. Dispose of used batteries properly.
• This Premier Pet™ Wireless Fence is NOT a solid barrier. It acts as a deterrent using static correction. Reinforce training regularly. Radio Systems Corporation cannot guarantee all pets will stay within the boundary. Do not rely solely on this system if your pet poses a danger to others or itself.
• This product is not a toy. Keep away from children.

Collar Fit and Wear

• Proper collar fit is crucial. A collar worn too long or too tight can cause skin damage, including redness or pressure ulcers (bed sores).
• Avoid leaving the collar on a pet for more than 12 hours per day.
• Reposition the collar on the pet's neck every 1 to 2 hours when possible.
• Regularly recheck the fit to prevent excessive pressure.
• You may need to trim hair around the contact points for consistent contact. Never shave the dog's neck, as this may lead to rash or infection.
• Never connect a leash to the receiver collar; this causes excessive pressure on the contact points.
• When connecting a leash to a separate collar, ensure it does not put pressure on the receiver collar.
• Wash the dog's neck area and collar contact points weekly with a damp cloth.
• Examine the contact area daily for signs of rash or sores. Discontinue use if a rash or sore is found until the skin heals. Consult a veterinarian if the condition persists beyond 48 hours.
• For more information on bed sores and pressure necrosis, visit the website.

Training and System Use

• Proper training is essential. During the first 2 weeks, do not use the system without direct supervision of your pet.
• Always remove your pet's receiver collar before performing any transmitter testing or adjustments to prevent unintended corrections.
• The boundary zone must be tested whenever the fence transmitter setting is adjusted to prevent unintended corrections.
• Do not use an outlet protected with a residual current device (RCD) or ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI). While the fence system will function, RCDs/GFCIs may trip during lightning strikes, causing system power loss and potential escape. You will need to reset the RCD/GFCI to restore power.

Fit the Collar

Important: Proper fit and placement are essential for effective operation.

1. Start with the collar turned off and your dog standing comfortably.
2. Place the collar on your pet with the Premier Pet™ logo right side up, directly under the dog's chin. Center the contact points on the neck, touching the skin. NOTE: Hair around contact points may need trimming for consistent contact.
3. Check tightness by inserting one finger between the end of a contact point and your dog's neck. The fit should be snug but not constricting.
4. Allow your dog to wear the collar for several minutes, then recheck the fit. Recheck again as your dog becomes more comfortable.

CAUTION: Do not shave the pet's neck as this may increase the risk of skin irritation. The collar should not be worn for more than 12 hours out of every 24-hour period. Leaving the collar on too long could lead to skin irritation.

Insert and Remove the Receiver Collar Battery

CAUTION: Do not install the battery while the receiver collar is on your pet.

This receiver collar uses a replaceable battery (GAC11-16351), designed for easier replacement and increased water protection.

1. To insert: Align symbols on the battery (arrow) and receiver collar (triangle). Use the edge of the test light tool to turn the battery clockwise until the arrow aligns with the lock symbol.
2. To remove or replace: Turn the battery counter-clockwise using the edge of the test light tool. DO NOT attempt to cut into or pry open the battery.
3. Discard used batteries properly.
4. Before removing the old battery, discharge all power by holding the static level button down until the light is no longer illuminated. Replace with a new battery.

⚠️ WARNING: Risk of explosion if batteries are replaced by an incorrect type. Do not short circuit, mix old and new batteries, dispose of in fire, or expose to water. Protect batteries from shorting during storage or disposal. Dispose of used batteries properly.

Replacement batteries (GAC11-16351) are available at many retailers. Contact Customer Care or visit premierpet.com to find a retailer.

Set the Static Correction Level

Read all steps before setting the static correction level.

1. Remove the clear plastic cover using the edge of the test light tool to expose the correction level button.
2. With the battery installed, press and release the correction level button when the receiver LED indicator light lights up.
3. The receiver LED indicator light will flash, representing the static correction level.
4. Increase the static correction level by pressing and releasing the correction level button within 5 seconds of the previous series of flashes.
5. After setting the level, replace the cover to protect the button.

Static correction levels increase from 1 to 6. Pressing the button at level 6 reverts to level 1. Refer to the operating guide's table to choose the best level for your pet.

The receiver indicator light also acts as a low battery indicator, flashing every 4 to 5 seconds when battery replacement is required.

Battery Contact Verification

Remove the receiver collar from your pet. Press the button and verify that the LED light illuminates. If the LED light does not come on, remove the battery. Locate the metal tabs in the battery compartment. Gently lift the tabs to ensure the battery makes good contact. Replace the battery and press the button again to check that the LED light illuminates.
