Dog Collar Device Setup
Methods to Add a Dog to a Handheld Device
If you purchased the collar and the handheld device separately,
you must add the collar to the handheld device. You can add up
to 20 collars to one handheld device.
There are three different methods to add (or pair) the collar to
the handheld device: using MURS/VHF, using the track/train
code, or using ANT+™.
Adding over MURS/VHF
: Allows you to pair after you have
placed the collar into paring mode by pressing the
Power
key.
This method is helpful when you are adding a new accessory
collar to the system prior to leaving for the hunt. See
page 3
.
Entering the track and train codes
: Allows you to add a dog
that you do not own and that is not in the area. The dog's
owner must determine if people can only track the dog or can
track and train the dog. This method requires the dog's
owner to find and communicate the codes to the person
adding the dog.
This method is helpful when you would like to add a dog
during a hunt, but you are not near the dog. For example,
you are adding another member of your hunting party's dog
to your handheld device, but you do not own the dog. See
page 3
.
Sharing wirelessly over ANT+
: Allows you to add a dog that
you do not own and that is not in the area. The dog's owner
must determine if people 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. 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 (10 ft.) to
share data wirelessly.
This method is helpful when you would like to add a dog
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. See
page 3
.
Adding a Dog Over MURS/VHF
1
If the collar is on, turn off the collar (
page 2
).
2
Hold the
Power
key until the collar emits two series of
beeps, about 2 seconds, and then release the
Power
key.
The status LED begins blinking rapidly in green. The collar is
now ready to be linked, or paired, with a handheld device.

Dog List

Add Dog
.
4
Bring the collar near the handheld device, and select
Yes
.
5

OK
.
Adding a Dog Using the Track and Train Codes
Before you can add a dog using the track and train codes, you
must have the dog owner find the track and train codes
(
page 3
) and tell them to you.
If you are not near the dog you want to add or you cannot put
the collar into pairing mode, you can add the dog using the track
and train codes.

train code allows you to both track and train the dog.
5

>
OK
.
Finding the Dog ID and Track and Train Codes
You can share a dog’s track code so another person can view
your dog’s location with the map and dog tracking compass.
Also, you can share a dog’s train code so another person can
track your dog and train (correct) your dog.
