If you are experiencing interference from other collars or
handheld devices in the area, you might need to change the ID
for the dog.

remove the dog from the device, and use the track and train
codes (Adding a Dog Using the Track and Train Codes, page 3)
or share wirelessly over ANT+ (Sharing a Dog Wirelessly,
page 3) to add the dog again.

Fitting the Collar on Your Dog
CAUTION
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 laminate.
Before you can put the collar on the dog, you must pair the
handheld device and collar (Adding a Dog Using Wireless
Pairing, page 3), and acquire satellite signals (Acquiring Satellite
Signals, page 2).
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 the collar is not too tight.
4
If the strap is too long, cut off the excess, leaving at least
3 in. (7.62 cm) to spare.
Enabling Bark Detection
NOTE: This feature is not available in all areas.
Select Setup > Dogs > Bark Detection.
A barking icon appears on the dog tracking page and the map
page.
When the dog collar device is active and properly fitted on the
dog (Fitting the Collar on Your Dog, page 4), it detects barks
automatically. After bark detection is enabled, you can set up a
bark alert (Setting Dog Alerts, page 4).
Communication with the Collar
You should keep an unobstructed line of sight between your
handheld device and the dog collar device to produce the best
communication 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).

Dog Tracking
The handheld device allows you to track your dog, using the
tracking compass or map. The map displays your location and
your dog's location and tracks. The compass pointer indicates
the direction of the dog's current location.
Tracking Your Dog on the Map
Before you can track a dog on the map, you must add it to the
handheld device (Adding a Dog Using Wireless Pairing, page 3).
You can view the dog's location on the map.
