Adding a Dog The handheld device can track up to 10 dogs with dog collar devices. If you purchase additional dog collar devices, you can link them to the handheld device.

Fitting the Collar on Your Dog Before you put the collar on the dog, pair the handheld device and collar (page 6), and acquire satellite signals (page 6). 1 Position the collar with the VHF whip antenna pointing up, the GPS antenna facing up, and the LEDs facing forward. 2 Place the collar around the middle of the dog's neck. 3 Tighten the strap so it is snug around the dog's neck. 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 that the collar is not too tight. 4 If the strap is too long, cut off the excess, leaving at least 3 inches (7.62 cm) to spare. Marking Your Vehicle Location You can mark the location of your vehicle so you can navigate back to your vehicle after a hunt. 1 From the main menu, select Start New Hunt. 2 Follow the on-screen instructions. Communication with the Collar The handheld device and dog collar 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 your handheld device and your dog’s dog collar device produces the best communication signal. Obstructed radio waves result in a poor signal. To achieve the best line-of-sight conditions, you should move to the highest elevation point in your area (for example, on the top of a hill). Best The device has a 3-axis electronic compass. You should calibrate the compass after moving long distances, experiencing temperature changes, or changing the batteries. 1 Select DOG > MENU. 2 Select Calibrate Compass > Start. 3 Follow the on-screen instructions. Garmin BaseCamp™ BaseStation Good Poor Calibrating the Compass NOTE: You must calibrate the electronic compass outdoors. Do not stand near objects that influence magnetic fields, such as cars, buildings, or overhead power lines. To get the most from your Garmin device, you can download BaseCamp software. Go to www.garmin.com/basecamp. You can view and organize your maps, waypoints, routes, and tracks and send them to your device. You can also use the BaseStation feature to view the location of your dogs on your computer in real time. Tips • • Turn on the dog collar device and allow it to acquire satellites before you put the dog collar device on your dog. This allows the dog collar device to acquire satellite signals much faster. Bring extra AA batteries for your handheld device. • • • Use a fully charged dog collar device. A fully charged dog collar device operates for approximately 21 hours when using five‑second interval reporting. Use line-of-sight radio communication (page 7). From the dog tracking page, select MENU > Small Numbers to reduce the text size. This allows you to view more dogs at one time on the dog tracking page. My dog collar devices have conflicting IDs Each dog you track has its own ID number. If two dogs within range of the handheld device have the same ID, the handheld device warns you of a conflicting ID signal. Follow the on-screen instructions to resolve the conflict. When possible, you should allow the handheld device to automatically assign IDs. If necessary, you can manually assign a new ID number to a dog. Optional Accessories Optional accessories, such as mounts, maps, fitness accessories, and replacement parts, are available at http://buy.garmin.com or from your Garmin dealer. Troubleshooting 2 Reinstall the batteries (page 4). My handheld device is not responding If your handheld device stops responding, you can reset the device. NOTE: This does not erase any of your data or settings. 1 Remove the batteries.
