To assign a new ID number to a dog and change the update rate: 1. On the Dog Information page, press MENU > Change Comm. Settings. 2. Select an unassigned and nonconflicting ID > OK. 3. Change the update rate, if desired. Both 10-second and 30-second updates reduce battery drain, but they create a less-detailed dog track and collected statistics. 4. Ensure that the Astro 220 is within a few feet of the DC 30. 5. Complete the setup wizard instructions. Tips for Successful Tracking • Use a fully charged DC 30. A fully charged DC 30 operates for approximately 17 hours when using 5‑second interval reporting. • Use line-of-sight radio communication. The Astro 220 and DC 30 use radio signals to communicate. Objects in the path of radio signals degrade the quality of the signals. Keeping an unobstructed line of sight Dog Tracking between you and your dog's DC 30 produces the best communication signal. Obstructed radio waves result in a poor signal. To achieve the best line-of-sight conditions, move to the highest elevation point in your area (for example, on the top of a hill).
