If the strap is too long, cut off the excess, leaving at least
8 cm (3 in.) to spare.

future reference.
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 or multiple
dogs, using the tracking compass or map. The map displays

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 to the Alpha Handheld Using

Dog Tracking Compass
To open the dog tracking compass, select .
You can use the dog tracking compass to view the direction and
distance to your dog, your vehicle, and any paired devices. The
dog tracking compass also shows the dog's status, such as
running or on point ( Dog Status Icons , page 5 ). The color of the
pointer corresponds to the color of the track.
The dog tracking compass is most accurate when the dog,
vehicle, or paired device is more than 9.1 m (30 ft.) away. When
the dog, vehicle, or paired device is less than 9.1 m (30 ft.)
away, "Near" appears.
TIP: You can open an alternative view of the compass by

Changing the Length of the Dog's Track
You can adjust the length of time the dog track appears on the
map. Reducing the duration of the track can reduce the clutter
on the map. Changing the map does not affect the tracks stored
in the handheld device.
