Dog Collar Device Setup

Methods to Add a Dog Collar Device to a 

Handheld Device

If you purchased the dog collar device and the handheld device 

separately, you must add the dog collar device to the handheld 

device. You can add up to 20 dog collar devices to one 

handheld device.

Using MURS/VHF

: Allows you to add a dog collar device after 

you have placed the dog collar device into pairing mode by 

pressing the power key.
This method is helpful when you are adding a new accessory 

collar to the system prior to leaving for the hunt (

Adding a 

Dog Using Wireless Pairing

, page 3

).

Entering the track and train codes

: Allows you to add a dog 

collar device that you do not own and that is not in the area. 

The dog's owner must determine if you can only track the dog 

or can track and train the dog. This method requires the dog's 

owner to find and communicate the codes to the person 

adding the dog collar device.
This method is helpful when you would like to add a dog 

collar device during a hunt, but you are not near the dog. For 

example, you are adding another member of your hunting 

party's dog collar device to your handheld device, but you do 

not own the dog collar device (

Adding a Dog Using the Track 

and Train Codes

, page 3

).
