How do I set up and use the PetSafe ZPD00-17036 Electric Display Scat Mat?

To set up and use your PetSafe ScatMat (ZPD00-17036), follow these general steps:

• Powering the Mat: Open the battery compartment on the Power Transmitter and insert a 9-volt alkaline battery. Alternatively, use a PetSafe AC Power Adaptor if your model supports it.
• Placement: Unroll the mat and place it in the area you wish to protect (e.g., on a countertop, sofa, or in a doorway). Ensure the mat is flat and the copper wires are facing up.
• Connecting the Transmitter: Snap the Power Transmitter onto the two metal snaps located on the mat.
• Turning On and Adjusting Levels: Press the Power/Mode button to turn the unit on. Continue pressing the button to cycle through the correction levels: Low (for kittens/small cats), Medium (for average cats/small dogs), and High (for large dogs or stubborn pets).
• Testing: The LCD screen will display the current level and a battery indicator. When the mat is touched, the activity indicator (usually a lightning bolt icon) will flash, showing that a correction is being delivered.
• Training: Allow your pet to discover the mat on their own. The harmless static pulse will startle them, teaching them to avoid the area.

Note: If the display shows an error or the mat does not seem to trigger, ensure the snaps are securely fastened and the battery is fresh. For safety, do not use this product on pets that are pregnant, under 6 months old, or have health issues.
