Plug in the charging base. As you go through setup, the charging base may light up different colors. Refer to the chart above for more information.
Open the PetSafe App. You can scan the QR code on the back of the charger base to go to the app store if you don’t already have it downloaded.
Add product. To do so, you must allow the app to use Bluetooth. If you already had the app and you used the QR code, it may have automatically added your product.
