you can link them to the handheld device.
To link, the handheld device must be
close enough to the dog collar device to
touch it, or you must know the dog collar
device ID number.
1Select DOG.
2Select Add Dog.

Fitting the Collar on Your Dog
Before you put the collar on the dog, pair
the handheld device and collar (page 6),
and acquire satellite signals (page 6).
1Position the collar with the VHF whip
antenna pointing up, the GPS antenna
facing up, and the LEDs facing
forward.
2Place the collar around the middle of
the dog's neck.
3Tighten the strap so it is snug around
the dog's neck.
NOTE: The collar should fit tightly and
should not be able to rotate or slide on
the dog's neck. The dog must be able
to swallow food and water normally.
You should observe your dog's
behavior to verify that the collar is not
too tight.
4If the strap is too long, cut off the
excess, leaving at least 3 inches (7.62
cm) to spare.
Marking Your Vehicle Location
You can mark the location of your vehicle
so you can navigate back to your vehicle
after a hunt.
1From the main menu, select Start
New Hunt.
2Follow the on-screen instructions.
Communication with the Collar
The handheld device and dog collar
device use radio signals to communicate.
Objects in the path of radio signals
degrade the quality of the signals.
Keeping an unobstructed line of sight

DRAFT
between your handheld device and your
dog’s dog collar device produces the best
communication signal. Obstructed radio
waves result in a poor signal. To achieve
the best line-of-sight conditions, you
should move to the highest elevation point
in your area (for example, on the top of a
hill).

compass outdoors. Do not stand near
objects that influence magnetic fields,
such as cars, buildings, or overhead
power lines.

compass. You should calibrate the
compass after moving long distances,
experiencing temperature changes, or
changing the batteries.

Tips

put the dog collar device on your dog.
This allows the dog collar device to
acquire satellite signals much faster.
• Bring extra AA batteries for your
handheld device.
8
DRAFT
• Use a fully charged dog collar device.
A fully charged dog collar device
operates for approximately 21 hours
when using five‑second interval
reporting.
• Use line-of-sight radio communication
(page 7).
• From the dog tracking page, select
MENU > Small Numbers to reduce
the text size.

Troubleshooting
My handheld device is not responding
If your handheld device stops responding,
you can reset the device.
NOTE: This does not erase any of your
data or settings.
1Remove the batteries.
2Reinstall the batteries (page 4).
My dog collar devices have conflicting
IDs
Each dog you track has its own ID
number. If two dogs within range of the
handheld device have the same ID, the
handheld device warns you of a
conflicting ID signal. Follow the on-screen
instructions to resolve the conflict.
When possible, you should allow the
handheld device to automatically assign
IDs. If necessary, you can manually
assign a new ID number to a dog.
