How the PetSafe® Birdhouse UltraSonic Unit Works
When the Birdhouse UltraSonic Unit is within range of a barking dog, an internal microphone picks up the sound and the unit is automatically activated. The PetSafe Birdhouse UltraSonic Unit emits an ultrasonic sound. The ultrasonic sound can be heard by dogs but is silent to humans. Startled by the high-pitched sound that is safe and effective, the dog should stop barking, as he will associate his bark with this unpleasant noise. When the dog stops barking the ultrasonic sound also stops. The PetSafe Birdhouse UltraSonic Unit has 3 sensitivity levels to choose from that indicates what barking level activates the unit and a test mode. It is effective up to 50 feet. Note: If the dog is deaf or hearing impaired, he may not react to the Birdhouse UltraSonic Unit.
Caution: Humans cannot hear the ultrasonic sound; however, precautions should be taken when preparing the Birdhouse UltraSonic Unit for use.

    * Keep at arm's length away from the human ear to avoid hearing damage if a dog begins barking while you are setting up, mounting or hanging the Birdhouse UltraSonic Unit
    * Humans should also avoid standing very close to the Birdhouse UltraSonic Unit when it is on.
    * Not for use by children.
    * This device is intended for use only with dogs. Never attempt to use it for any purpose not described.
