Activating the Device

 WARNING

Before you can use the inReach features of your Alpha 200i 

device, you must activate it (

inReach Features

, page 7

).

1

Create an account, and select a satellite subscription at 

explore.garmin.com

.

2

Turn on the device.

3

Select 

Activate

.

4

Follow the on-screen instructions.

NOTE: 

You must enter the device IMEI number and 

authorization code to complete the online portion of activation 

before you go outdoors.

5

Go outdoors to an open area with a clear view of the sky, and 

point the antenna on the device toward the sky for optimal 

performance.

6

Wait while the device communicates with the Iridium satellite 

network.

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 250 dog collar devices to one 

handheld device by using MURS/VHF, entering the track and 

control codes, or by sharing wirelessly using ANT+

®

 technology. 

Up to 20 devices can be active at one time.

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 to the Alpha Handheld Using Wireless Pairing

page 3

).

Entering the track and control 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 control 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 Control Codes

, page 3

).

NOTE: 

This feature varies based on dog collar device type 

and feature availability in your area. You may see track 

codes only or track and control codes.

Sharing wirelessly using ANT+ wireless technology

: 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 

does not require the dog's owner to find and communicate 

the codes to the person adding the dog collar device. This 

method also adds dog information, such as the dog's name, 

communication settings, and initial position, from the sending 

handheld device to your device. The two handheld devices 

must be within range 3 m (10 ft.) to share data wirelessly.

This method is helpful when you want to add a dog collar 

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

example, the dogs have already been let loose, and you are 

near the dog owner, who can share the dog wirelessly 

(

Sharing a Dog Wirelessly

, page 3

).

Adding a Dog to the Alpha Handheld Using Wireless 

Pairing

1

If the dog collar device is on, turn off the dog collar device 

(

Turning Off the Device

, page 2

).

2

Hold the power key on the dog collar device until the device 

emits two series of beeps (about 2 seconds), and then 

release the power button.
The status LED flashes rapidly in green. The dog collar 

device is now ready to be linked, or paired, with a handheld 

device.

3

On the handheld device, select 

Dog List

 > 

Add Dog

.

4

Select an option:
• If you are near the dog collar device, select 

Pair Collar

and follow the on-screen instructions.

• To pair a dog collar device by receiving the information 

from another handheld device, select 

Receive from 

Handheld

.

NOTE: 

To successfully pair the device, the other handheld 

device must be wirelessly sharing the dog collar device 

information (

Sharing a Dog Wirelessly

, page 3

).

5

After successfully adding the dog collar device, enter the 

name of the dog, and select  .

Sharing a Dog Wirelessly

Before you can share data wirelessly over ANT+, you must bring 

your Alpha handheld device within 3 m (10 ft.) of the other 

handheld device.

1

Select 

Dog List

.

2

Select the dog to share.

3

Select   > 

Share Wirelessly

.

4

Select an option:
• To allow the other person to track your dog's location with 

the map and dog tracking compass, select 

Track Only

.

• To allow the other person to track your dog and correct 

your dog's behavior, select 

Track and Train

.

To successfully share the dog collar device, the other 

handheld device must be receiving the device information 

(

Adding a Dog to the Alpha Handheld Using Wireless Pairing

page 3

).

Adding a Dog Using the Track and Control Codes

NOTE: 

This feature varies based on dog collar device type and 

feature availability in your area.
Before you can add a dog using the track and control codes, the 

dog owner must find the track and control codes (

Finding the 

Dog ID and Track and Control Codes

, page 4

) and tell them 

to you.
You can use track and control codes to authorize a handheld 

device to interact with your dog collar device. If you are not near 

the dog you want to add or you cannot put the collar into pairing 

mode, you can add the dog using the track and control codes.

1

Select 

Dog List

 > 

Add Dog

.

2

Select 

Enter Track or Control Code

.

3

Enter the track or control code for the collar, and select  .
The dog’s track code allows you to track the dog. The dog’s 

control code allows you to both track and train the dog.

4

Enter the name of the dog, and select  .
