Methods to Add a Dog Collar Device to a Handheld Device

If you purchased the dog collar device and the handheld device separately, you must add the dog collar device

to the handheld device. You can add up to 250 devices to one handheld device by using MURS/VHF, entering the

track and control codes, or by sharing wirelessly using ANT+

time.

Using MURS/VHF: Allows you to add a dog collar device after you have placed the dog collar device into pairing

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

Entering the track and control codes: 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 control the dog.

This method requires the dog's owner to find and communicate the codes to the person adding the dog collar

device.

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

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 control 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
