OVERVIEW
The Dogtra E-Fence 3500 system gives you the ability to allow your dog the freedom he
wants within your specified boundaries. Dogtra’s containment system contains your dog without
the use of conventional fencing that can be chewed through, jumped over or dug under.
The width of the signal field can easily be adjusted at the wall-mount transmitter. The strength of the
electrical stimulation can be adjusted on each separate receiver with the intensity selection dial. In the
“Stimulation Only”mode, your dog will receive stimulation only. In the “Pager +
Stimulation”mode, your dog will receive a silent pager/vibration, followed by stimulation
when he approaches the boundary area. In the “Pager Only”mode, you dog will receive and
non-stimulating pager/vibration only.
Once your dog consistently avoids the signal boundary, the stainless steel contact points
can be replaced with the plastic training probes. With the plastic training probes, your dog
will be able to respond to the vibration warning without receiving any electrical stimulation.
Accessories for the system such as additional wire, flags, lightning/surge protector, and the
European 220-volt battery charger, are available by calling Dogtra Company at 1-888-811-
9111.

Description Of Transmitter Parts

ON/OFF & Function Selection Switch
The On/Off & function selection switch has three functions. When the toggle switch is in the
up position, the unit will give the dog a pager/vibration followed by stimulation correction.
When the toggle switch is in the down position, only a pager/vibration occurs (no
stimulation). The power is off when the toggle switch is set to the middle position.
Field Width Adjustment Knob
This knob controls the width of the signal field (the approximate distance from the
boundary wire to the location where the receiver/collar first activates). Turning the knob
clockwise increases the field width, giving your dog a wider area before the activation
begins. Turning it counter-clockwise decreases the signal field, thus giving the dog a shorter

area prior to activation.
ON/OFF Indicator Light
When the On/Off & function selection switch is either in the up or down position the
On/Off indicator light will be on, indicating that the power is on. When the switch is in the
middle position the light goes off, indicating that the power is off. The indicator light stays
on even if a fuse is blown.
Boundary Wire Indicator Light
When the wires are connected properly, the boundary wire continuity light will be on. In the
event that the E-Fence 3500 wire becomes damaged or disconnected, the light will
automatically turn off and the warning beep will sound.

Wire Connectors For Splicing
The easy-to-use push-release wire connectors let you instantly connect or disconnect the
boundary wire leads. Wires should be stripped approximately a half-inch before being
inserted intothe red connectors on the bottom of the wall mount transmitter.
The system comes with a ground wire to protect the unit in the event of lightning/power
surge. Strip about a half-inch on each end of the ground wire and insert one end into the
black connector on the bottom of the wall transmitter. The other end should be buried into
the ground or wrapped around a water pipe and secured with electrical tape.
Option : A lightning/surge protector can be purchased if there are no grounding options
near the wall transmitter.

Adaptor Jack Connector
Plug the 120-volt adaptor into a 120-volt wall outlet and insert the adaptor plug into the
adaptor receptacle of the transmitter.
Wall-Mount Transmitter
Use the (2) included screws to mount the transmitter to a wall securely near an outlet. The
unit will withstand freezing temperatures, but it is not waterproof. Therefore, we recommend
mounting the transmitter in a safe, dry sheltered area such as a shed, garage or carport.

Plastic anchors have been provided to secure mounting onto drywall. Use a 1/4“drill bit to
make holes into the drywall. Insert the anchors into the holes so that the open end faces
out and mount the transmitter by inserting the screws into
the open end of the anchors.
To power the wall transmitter, plug the AC daptor into the standard 120-volt outlet and
connect it to the adaptor receptacle of the transmitter.

Intensity Selection Dial
The stimulation level is adjustable from each individual dog’s receiver/collar so that it is easy
accommodate each dog’s different personality and temperament.
The stimulation levels range from level 1 to level 8, level 1 being the lowest.
In order to select the proper intensity level for each dog, we recommend that you begin at
level 1 and continue to increase the level slowly until you are able to notice a reaction from
your dog. This ensures that you select a level that is appropriate for your dog.
When you place the knob at the OFF position, the collar is completely shut off. In order to
maintain full use of the batteries in the collar, please turn off the receiver/collar when your
E-Fence 3500 system is not being utilized.
Receiver Indicator Light (LED)
When first activating the E-Fence 3500, the LED light on the receiver/collar will illuminate for
approximately 1 second to indicate that the power is on. 2 seconds after the initial light, a
