Dog Tracking Dog Tracking This section describes communications between the DC 30 and the Astro, tracking dogs on the map, and adding dogs to the Dog List. Communicating with the DC 30 The DC 30 that was packaged with your Astro 220 System was linked with the Astro 220 at the factory. If you are using a DC 30 that you ordered separately, follow the instructions for adding a new dog on page 12 to establish communications with the Astro 220.
Dog Tracking Dog status fields Position update rate and dog communication ID number (page 13) DC 30 GPS signal strength Dog Information Page Dog name field DC 30 battery capacity DC 30 communication signal strength The Dog Information page displays the status of the dog (Running, Sitting, Treed, On point, or Unknown?), the distance from your location, the distance traveled, and the average speed.

Dog Tracking To view the Dog Tracker page: Press DOG. The dog you are tracking is identified and the dog pointer indicates its direction from you. The dog pointer is most accurate when you are holding the Astro 220 level and the dog is farther than 30 feet (9.1 meters) away.
