Product Use

Read all safety warnings and instructions. Failure to follow the warnings and instructions may result in injury to you, your pet, or others, and may result in property damage.

WARNING! The PawOn GPS Fence is a battery operated device. Allowing your dog to chew on the collar or the battery may cause damage to the product, cause a fire hazard or be hazardous for your dog. Inspect the collar for punctures to the battery and/or the plastic cover to the battery before placing it on any dog.

WARNING! The PawOn Collar contains electronic components, including a lithium-ion battery, that are sensitive to extreme temperatures. Do not leave the collar in high temperatures for extended periods of time. Only charge your PawOn Collar with the charger provided. If the battery and/or the plastic cover to the battery appear to be punctured, do not use. Instead, please promptly contact customer service at [email protected].

WARNING!: When creating fences, it is important to pay attention to your surroundings and watch where you are walking. Avoid looking down while walking a fence. Avoid dangerous areas that could result in serious injury or death.

WARNING!: The PawOn GPS Fence is intended for dogs only and should not be used with humans.

CAUTION: Do not dismantle or recreate the PawOn GPS Fence as it will void your warranty.

CAUTION: The PawOn GPS Fence GPS data and accuracy may vary based upon location and is not guaranteed for indoor use.

CAUTION: This containment system cannot prevent predators from entering your fence area.

CAUTION: The PawOn GPS Fence is not rated to act as a primary pet restraint device. Make sure your dog is properly secured and safe at all times.

CAUTION: The PawOn GPS Fence is manufactured and tested to an IP67 standard. This means that the PawOn GPS Fence is dust-proof and water-
resistant. It is protected from dirt, spills, splashes of water, drool, and rain. When the collar is new, it can be submerged in a body of water up to a meter deep for half an hour. Please note that as the collar is used, damage and wear may affect the sealing.

CAUTION: No containment system, including a residential fence or the PawOn GPS Fence, can contain all dogs 100% of the time. Some dogs can escape any containment system. All containment systems can break or malfunction. Monitor your dog regularly while using the system.

NOTICE: The PawOn GPS Fence works best when pet parents take the time to train their dog, as with any basic obedience training program. This is particularly important upon introduction. Spend time helping your dog understand the location of fence boundaries and the corresponding stimuli that alerts them and keeps them safely contained. PawOn GPS Fence, nor its distributors and dealers cannot guarantee the system will keep a customer’s pet within the established boundary. Accordingly, if a customer has reason to believe that their pet may pose a danger to others, or harm itself, the customer should not rely solely upon the PawOn GPS Fence to keep the dog from crossing the boundary.

NOTICE: To clean the PawOn GPS Fence use a damp cloth and mild soap.

NOTICE: Operation of the PawOn GPS Fence is dependent on use of the mobile app, as well as the collar having adequate battery life. The performance of the PawOn GPS Fence’s tracking and notifications may vary depending on the cellular network signal strength in a given location.
