Fitting the Collar on Your Dog
Do not spray the device or collar with harsh chemicals including but not limited to flea or tick spray. Always
ensure that any flea or tick spray that is applied to the dog is completely dry before placing the collar on the dog.
Small amounts of harsh chemicals can damage the plastic components and collar strap.
Dog collar straps are sold separately. You can use your own dog collar strap, or purchase one from Garmin
(Purchasing Accessories,
1 Position the collar with the dog collar device on the dog's neck with the LEDs facing forward.
2 Place the collar around the middle of the dog's neck.
3 Tighten the collar so it is snug around the dog's neck, and fasten the collar.
NOTE: The collar should fit tightly and should not be able to rotate or slide on the dog's neck. The dog must
be able to swallow food and water normally. You should observe your dog's behavior to verify the collar is
not too tight.
The Garmin Alpha app and compatible Alpha navigator (optional) allow you to track your dog or multiple dogs.
The map displays your location and your dog's location and tracks. The compass pointer indicates the direction
of the dog's current location.
Viewing the Alpha LTE Dog Collar Device on Your Alpha Navigator
When the Alpha LTE dog collar device and your compatible Alpha navigator are both paired to the Garmin Alpha
app, a compass pointer appears on the Alpha navigator map page, indicating the location of the Alpha LTE dog
collar device. The Alpha LTE dog collar device does not appear on the Alpha navigator Dog List page.
Pairing the Alpha LTE Dog Collar Device to Your Compatible Garmin VHF Dog
Collar Device
If you are using both the Alpha LTE dog collar device and a compatible Garmin VHF dog collar device on your
dog, you can pair the dog collar devices so they are tracked together as one asset on the Alpha navigator Dog
List page. The Alpha LTE dog collar device is displayed as a tab on the VHF dog collar page.
1 Bring your compatible Garmin VHF dog collar device within 10 m (33 ft.) of your Alpha LTE dog collar device.
2 On both dog collar devices, press the power buttons until the status LEDs flash blue.
The dog collar devices enter pairing mode and automatically pair within a few seconds.
