Description

The Dogtra 282C Transmitter is the replacement remote for the 282C, the two-dog version of the 280C. It controls both collars from one handset.

Will the Dogtra 282C Transmitter work with my collar?

It’s for the 282C system. Check the model name on your collar before ordering. If it’s worn off, send us a photo and we’ll tell you.

Why replace just the remote?

Remotes take more punishment than collars. They get dropped on rocks, left on truck roofs and soaked in creeks. If the collar still works fine, replacing only the transmitter gets you back in business for a fraction of the price of a full system.

Pairing your new transmitter

Out of the box, the transmitter won’t know your collar. Pair them following the steps in your model’s manual on Dogtra’s website, which usually takes a minute or two. Then check it works on the lowest level before training.

Charging

There’s no charger in the box. Your existing charger will work, or see the matching charger below.

Before your first session

Before you train, spend a few minutes at the kitchen table with the new remote and the collar. Check the screen, the dial, every button and the level lock if it has one. Then find your dog’s working level again, starting low, because a new remote can feel slightly different in the hand.

Keeping a spare remote

If your system allows it, a second paired remote lets a family member or training partner handle the dog without passing one handset back and forth.

Matching parts

The 280C remote runs on the BP37T3P battery and charges with the BC5VAUTO. It uses the #4 belt clip, the #4 dial knob and the ANT 2 antenna.

Looking after the remote

Don’t carry the remote loose in a pocket with keys, and don’t hang it by the antenna. A clip, a lanyard and a dry place to store it go a long way.

Why genuine

No copies here. Everything is original Dogtra. That matters with small parts too, because a part that’s slightly the wrong size can affect fit, waterproofing or contact.
