Operating Guide

Features

• Automatically deters excessive barking
- No collar needed
• Detects barks up to 8 metres away
- Low battery indicator

• Freestanding or can be adhered to door frames, window frames, etc.

How It Works

When the PetSafe ^® Indoor Bark Control is within range of a barking dog, an internal microphone picks up the sound. The unit automatically emits an ultrasonic tone that can be heard by dogs but is silent to most humans. Startled by the high-pitched tone, the dog should stop barking. In time it will associate its bark with this unpleasant noise. When the dog stops barking, the ultrasonic tone also stops. It is effective up to 8 metres. Note: If the dog is deaf or hearing impaired, he may not react to the PetSafe ^® Indoor Bark Control.

Key Definitions

Microphone: Detects barking.

Two-Colour LED: Lights whenever the Indoor Bark Control is activated. Also blinks to show battery status.

On/Off Switch: Turns the Indoor Bark Control on ( | ) and off ( O ).

Speaker: Produces the ultrasonic tone.

Battery Tray: Used to hold the 3-Volt lithium CR2032 batteries.

Mounting Strip Area: Provision for wall mounting with provided Mounting Strips.

1. Holding the grooved edges, slide the Battery Tray out (A).
2. Install two (2), 3-Volt (CR2032) batteries positive (+) side up (B).
3. Slide the Battery Tray back in place (C).

To Verify the Batteries are Inserted Correctly

2. The LED should flash green once and there will be an audible beep. Then the LED will flash green once every 5 seconds (E).

3. If the LED does not flash, you may have inserted the batteries backwards. Try taking them out and turning them over, ensuring that the (+) side is up.

4. If the LED still does not flash, contact the Customer Care Centre.

⚠ WARNING

Risk of explosion if battery is replaced by an incorrect type. Do not short circuit, mix old and new batteries, dispose of in fire, or expose to water. When batteries are stored or disposed, they must be protected from shorting. Dispose of used batteries properly.

Battery Life

Average battery life is 2 months, depending on how often your dog barks. However, due to your dog's learning process, your first batteries may not last as long as replacement batteries. To conserve battery life, turn unit off when not in use.

Function and Response Table

Function LED Response
Unit is on	Green LED flashes once, followed by an audible beep, then the green LED will flash once every 5 seconds
Emitting ultrasonic tone Red LED	D on
Low battery condition Red LED	flashes 3 times every 5 seconds

Setup

The Indoor Bark Control should be placed facing the dog and at a level equal to the dog's height to be most effective.

The unit includes provisions for hanging or can be adhered using the Self-Adhesive Hook and Loop Mounting Strip. The Indoor Bark Control can also stand alone. For best results, the area between the unit and your dog should be free of any large obstacles.

Using the Mounting Strip

1. The Indoor Bark Control includes a provision on the back to adhere the Mounting Strip.
2. Gently pull the two pieces of Mounting Strips apart.
3. Peel the tape from one side of the Mounting Strip and press firmly in place on the back of the Indoor Bark Control.
4. When adhering to the wall, door frame, etc., clean and dry the surface before application.
5. Peel tape from the second side of the Mounting Strip and press firmly in place.
6. Simply press the two Mounting Strips together.
7. Adhesive reaches maximum strength after 24 hours.

What to Expect During Use of the Indoor Bark Control

Place the Indoor Bark Control within range of the dog with the unit turned on. Most dogs will understand very quickly that the Indoor Bark Control is disrupting their urge to bark and will relax and stop barking. You should notice a reduction in the dog's barking within the first two weeks that the Indoor Bark Control is in use. Please note this product may not work on deaf or hearing impaired dogs.

Excessive barking can cause a real strain on your relationship with your pet, as well as cause disruptions in your neighbourhood. In some situations this product may become an aid to barking cessation, and not necessarily a cure. Please visit www.petsafe.net to view other customised solutions to the problem of too much barking.

Tips and Maintenance

• Before playing with your dog, turn the unit off. The activity may cause your dog to bark, which could lead to him associating the play with the ultrasonic tone.
• Turn OFF the unit while not in use.
• The Indoor Bark Control should only be used with pets that are over 6 months of age.
• If your pet is injured or its mobility is otherwise impaired, contact your veterinarian or professional trainer before use.
• Do not leave the unit unattended where your dog could accidentally damage it through chewing.
• Do not attempt to repair the unit yourself. This will invalidate the warranty and make repairs more difficult.
• For indoor use only.
• Remove the batteries before cleaning.
• Clean the Indoor Bark Control with a damp cloth. Do not use any kind of spray chemicals or solvent to clean.
• Do not immerse unit in water or any other liquid.

Note: The Indoor Bark Control is weather resistant, not waterproof. However, if water enters into the microphone it may disrupt the unit's operation. After the microphone dries, it may resume to working properly.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Is the Indoor Bark Control effective on all dogs?	The product may not work on deaf or hearing impaired dogs.
Will the ultrasonic tone work for multiple dogs?	Yes, it is effective on all dogs within the 8 metre range.
Can a dog become desensitised to the ultrasonic tone?	There are some situations where dogs become desensitised. To avoid this, only use the Indoor Bark Control during periods of unwanted barking. Turn the unit off when not in use.
Can humans hear the ultrasonic tone?	The ultrasonic tone cannot be heard by most humans. Occasionally the speaker may vibrate which can make a sound.
