About Collar Lock You can use the collar lock feature to protect your dog's ID signal using a PIN. Other users with handheld devices must enter the PIN in order to track your dog. Other users with handheld devices can still add your dog by physically touching their handheld device to the dog collar device. Activating Collar Lock Before you can activate collar lock, you must turn on the dog collar device and bring it within 10 feet (3 m) of the handheld device. NOTE: If you forget the PIN, you can override the collar lock feature by physically touching the handheld device to the dog collar device. 1 Select DOG > ENTER > MENU. 2 Select Change PIN. 3 Enter a unique PIN. Communication with the Collar You should keep an unobstructed line of sight between your handheld device and the dog collar device to produce the best communication 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).
