Changing the Dog ID

Before you can change the dog ID, the collar must be turned on and within range of the handheld device.

If you are experiencing interference from other collars or handheld devices in the area, you might need to change the ID for the dog.

If another handheld device is tracking this dog, for best results, remove the dog from the device, and use the track and train codes (page 3) or share wirelessly over ANT+ (page 3) to add the dog again.

Setting Dog Alerts

You can adjust how the handheld device alerts you to certain actions of the dog.

1Select Setup > Dogs > Dog Alerts.

Attaching the Collar on Your Dog

CAUTION

To prevent irritation from the contact points, remove the collar for at least 8 hours out of every 24-hour period.

NOTICE

Remove the charging clip before putting the collar on the dog. If you do not remove the clip, it may become detached from the collar and become lost.

Before you put the collar on the dog, pair the handheld device and collar (page 3), and acquire satellite signals (page 2).

1Select an option:

•If you are training your dog with the collar, select and install the appropriate contact points (page 6).

•If you are not training your dog with the collar, install the cap over the contact point locations (page 6).

2Place the collar in the middle of the dog's neck, directly behind the dog's ears.

3Position the collar with the VHF whip antenna pointing up, the GPS antenna facing up, and the LEDs facing forward.

When using the contact points, they can be positioned anywhere along the dog's neck. The best location for the contact points is in the front of the neck.

4Tighten the strap so that it is snug around the dog's neck.

5If the strap is too long, cut off the excess, leaving at least 3 inches to spare.

Communication with the Collar

If the collar and handheld device came in the same packaging, they were paired at the factory. If you are using a collar or handheld device that you purchased separately, add the collar to the handheld device to establish a communication link between the collar and handheld device (page 3).

The collar and handheld device must be within range to communicate with each other. The MURS/VHF radio communication range is up to 9 miles.

The collar and handheld 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 between the collar and handheld device 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).

Dog Tracking

The Alpha system allows you to track your dog, up to 9 miles away, using the dog tracking compass or map. The map displays your location and your dog's location and tracks. The pointer acts like a compass, pointing in the direction of the dog's current location.

One Alpha handheld device can track up to 20 devices (TT dog collar devices and Alpha handheld devices).

NOTE: Both the collar and the handheld device must have acquired satellites before you can track the dog on the handheld device.
