2. Use the Rocker and ENTER to
select and confirm options. By
default, the new dog is named
"Dog" and an ID number is
randomly assigned.
NOTE: The setup wizard may indicate
that there is a conflict with the ID
number of another dog. To resolve the
conflict, follow the instructions in the
setup wizard and in "Conflicting Dog
Signals."
Conflicting Dog Signals
Each dog you track has its own ID
number. If two dogs within range of
the Astro have the same ID, the Astro
warns you of a conflicting ID signal. It
then opens a setup wizard to guide you
through the process of resolving the
conflict.
If necessary, you can manually assign
a new ID number to a dog. When
possible, you should allow the Astro to
automatically assign IDs.

resolving the Dog Signal
Conflict.
You must assign a new ID number to
the 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 is within a
few feet of the DC 40.
5. Complete the setup wizard
instructions.
