Adding Dogs to the Dog List
If you purchase additional DC 30 units, you can link them
to the Astro 220 using the setup wizard in the Dog List.
To link, the Astro 220 must be close enough to the DC 30
to touch it, or you must know the DC 30 ID number.

To add a new dog to the list:
1. On the Dog Tracker page, press MENU > Dog List >
<Add New> > ENTER to open the setup wizard.
2. Use the Rocker and ENTER to select and conrm
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
conict with the ID number of another dog. To resolve
the conict, follow the instructions in the setup wizard
and in “Conicting Dog Signals.”
Conicting Dog Signals
Each dog you track has its own ID number. If two dogs
within range of the Astro 220 have the same ID, the
Astro 220 warns you of a conicting ID signal. It then
opens a setup wizard to guide you through the process of
resolving the conict.
If necessary, you can manually assign a new ID number
to a dog. When possible, you should allow the Astro 220
to automatically assign IDs.
