This method is helpful when you would like to add a dog collar device during a hunt, but you are not near the dog. For example, you are adding another member of your hunting party's dog collar device to your handheld device, but you do not own the dog collar device (Adding a Dog Using the Track and Train Codes, page 3). NOTE: This feature varies based on dog collar device type and feature availability in your area. You may see track codes only or track and train codes. Sharing wirelessly using ANT+® wireless technology: Allows you to add a dog collar device that you do not own and that is not in the area. The dog's owner must determine if you can only track the dog or can track and train the dog. This method does not require the dog's owner to find and communicate the codes to the person adding the dog collar device. This method also adds dog information, such as the dog's name, communication settings, and initial position, from the sending handheld device to your device. The two handheld devices must be within range 3 m (10 ft.) to share data wirelessly. This method is helpful when you want to add a dog collar device during a hunt, but you are not near the dog. For example, the dogs have already been let loose, and you are near the dog owner, who can share the dog wirelessly (Sharing a Dog Wirelessly, page 3).
