Astro and DC 40 Tips

• Turn on the DC 40 and allow it to
acquire satellites before you put the
DC 40 on your dog. This allows the
DC 40 to acquire satellite signals
much faster.
• Bring extra AA batteries for your
Astro (page 58).
• Use a fully charged DC 40. A
fully charged DC 40 operates for
approximately 17 hours when using
five-second interval reporting.
• Use line-of-sight radio
communication
• The Astro can track up to 10 dogs
with DC 40 collars. Only three dogs
can be viewed at one time on the
Dog Tracker page. To reduce the
text size, press MENU, and select
Small Numbers.
