You and your pet were made for each other. Our aim is to help you have the best companionship and the most memorable moments
together. Your new YardMax® Rechargeable In-Ground Fence™ system is designed to give your pet maximum freedom while keeping him
safe. We know that safe pets make happy owners. Before getting started, please have your utilities marked, and take a moment to read
through the important safety information. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact us.
Hereinafter Radio Systems Corporation, Radio Systems PetSafe Europe Ltd., Radio Systems Australia Pty Ltd. and any other affiliate or brand of
Radio Systems Corporation may be referred to collectively as “We” or “Us.”
Important Safety Information
Explanation of attention words and symbols used in this guide:
This is the safety alert symbol. It is used to alert you to potential personal injury hazards. Obey all safety messages that follow this
symbol to avoid possible injury or death.
WARNING indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in death or serious injury.
CAUTION, used with the safety alert symbol, indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in minor
or moderate injury.
CAUTION, used without the safety alert symbol, indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in
harm to your pet.
NOTICE is used to address practices not related to personal injury.
• Not for use with aggressive pets. Do not use this product if your pet is prone to aggressive behavior. Aggressive pets
can cause severe injury or death to their owners and others. If you are not sure that this product is right for your pet,
please talk to your veterinarian or a certified trainer.
• Underground cables can carry high voltage. Have all underground cables marked before you dig to bury your wire.
In most areas this is a free service. Avoid these cables when you dig.
• Follow all safety instructions for your power tools. Be sure to always wear your safety goggles.
• Do not install, connect or remove your system during a lightning storm. If the storm is close enough for you to hear
thunder, it is close enough to create hazardous surges.
• Risk of electric shock. Use the fence transmitter and surge protector indoors in dry location only.
• Turn off the power to the outlet before you install or remove your surge protector.
• Risk of electrical shock or fire. Use the surge protector only with a duplex outlet with a center screw. Attach the unit
using the long screw supplied.
• This device contains Lithium-Ion (Li-Ion) batteries; never incinerate, puncture, deform, short-circuit, or charge with an
inappropriate charger. Fire, explosion, property damage, or bodily harm may occur if this warning is not followed.
• This system is NOT a solid barrier. It is designed to act as a deterrent to remind pets to remain within the established
boundary by use of static correction. It is important that you reinforce training with your pet on a regular basis. Since
the tolerance level to static correction varies from pet to pet, Radio Systems Corporation CANNOT guarantee that the
system will, in all cases, keep a pet within the established boundary. Not all pets can be trained to avoid crossing the
boundary! Therefore, if you have reason to believe that your pet may pose a danger to others or harm himself if he is
not kept from crossing the boundary, you should NOT rely solely upon this system to confine your pet. Radio Systems
Corporation shall NOT be liable for any property damage, economic loss or any consequential damages sustained
as a result of any animal crossing the boundary.
• Risk of injury. Wire on top of the ground may be a trip hazard; use care in how you place your wires.
• This product is not a toy. Keep it away from the reach of children.
• Do not install the surge protector if there is not at least 30 ft. (10 m) or more of wire between the electrical outlet and
electrical service panel.
Proper fit of the receiver collar is important. A receiver collar worn for too long or made too tight on your pet’s neck may
cause skin damage, ranging from redness to pressure ulcers. This condition is commonly known as bed sores.
• Avoid leaving the receiver collar on your pet for more than 12 hours per day.
• When possible reposition the collar on your pet’s neck every 1 to 2 hours.
• Check the fit to prevent excessive pressure; follow the instructions in this manual.
• When using a separate collar for a leash, do not put pressure on the receiver collar.
• Wash your pet’s neck area and the contact points of the receiver collar weekly with a damp cloth.
• Examine the contact area daily for signs of a rash or a sore.
• If a rash or sore is found, discontinue use of the receiver collar until the skin has healed.
• If the condition persists beyond 48 hours, see your veterinarian.
• For additional information on bed sores and pressure necrosis, please visit our website.
• Proper training of your pet is essential to successfully using the system. During the first 2 weeks of training, do not use
the system without direct supervision of your pet.
These steps will help keep your pet secure and comfortable. Millions of pets are comfortable while they wear stainless
steel contact points. Some pets are sensitive to contact pressure. You may find after some time that your pet is very tolerant
of the receiver collar. If so, you may relax some of these precautions. It is important to continue daily checks of the contact
area. If redness or sores are found, discontinue use until the skin has fully healed.
• You may need to trim the hair in the area of the contact points. Never shave your pet’s neck; this may lead to a rash
or infection.
• The receiver collar should not be on your pet when the system is tested. If it is, your pet may receive an
unintended correction.
• The boundary width of the system must be tested whenever an adjustment is made to the pet area to prevent
unintended corrections to your pet.
• Do not change the transmitter setting from Traditional mode (B) to YardMax® mode (A) without verifying that the
receiver collar will still contain your pet.
• If you use a collar and leash for training, be sure the extra collar does not put pressure on the contact points.
• If possible, DO NOT use an AC circuit protected with a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) or Residual Current
Device (RCD). In rare cases, nearby lightning strikes may cause the GFCI or RCD to trip. Without power your pet may
be vulnerable to escape. You will have to reset the GFCI or RCD to restore power to the system.
• If the receiver collar fails the ReadyTest® startup, the receiver collar is automatically turned off. Your pet will not
be contained.
• To prevent an unintended correction, after the boundary flags have been placed, be sure to set the static correction
on the receiver collar back to level 1, which is tone only.
• Plug the surge protector into a grounded (3-prong) outlet that is within 5 ft. of the fence transmitter. ALWAYS use a
grounded (3-prong) outlet to ensure maximum protection.
• Do not remove the ground prong from the surge protector plug. Do not use a 3-prong plug to 2-prong outlet
converter. Doing so will make the surge protector ineffective against surges or spikes.
• Use care when mowing or trimming your grass not to cut the loop wire.
• Verify that the boundary loop and transmitter wires connect to the proper surge protector terminals. Reversed
connections will result in an increased risk of surge related damage.
• For added protection, when unused for long periods of time or prior to thunderstorms, unplug from the wall outlet and
disconnect the loop boundary wires. This will prevent damage to the transmitter due to surges.
• Charge your receiver collar when the receiver indicator light blinks red. Do not charge your receiver collar every night.
Charging too often can reduce battery life.
• Avoid damage to the jacket of the loop wire during the install; damage may cause areas of weak signal and lead to
early failure of the loop (wire breaks).
