Using Tracking Mode

The DOG TRACKING screen allows you to view your location and track the location of your dog(s).
NOTE: You must have a clear view of the sky in order for the GPS to acquire a signal. The “Waiting for Lock” message will display until a good GPS fix is acquired. The Handheld Device will beep once and move to the tracking window when GPS lock is acquired.

From the main menu, select DOG TRACKING. The tracking screen displays.

Your location is marked by a black crosshair (+) in the center of the display. Dogs are marked by a direction arrow showing their direction of travel or an octagon if the dog is stationary. If you have set a start point, it appears as an X on the tracking display. Any active way points are marked by their respective number. The upper portion of the screen also displays your respective status, current map scale, and compass direction.

A table on the lower portion of the screen shows the status of the first three dogs being tracked as follows:

• The name of each dog is displayed in the colour of its assigned collar.
• The type and level of stimulation assigned to STIM button 1 for each dog: C1 = continuous stimulation on level 1, T = tone, V = vibration, M= momentary (nick), R= rising stimulation, P1= user programmable level 1, P2= user programmable level 2.
• The distance of each dog from your location is displayed.

TO ADJUST THE SCALE:
On the DOG TRACKING screen, press the left or right arrow on the Menu Selection Pad to manually adjust the scale from 100 m to 75 km or set the scale to AUTO which will automatically adjust to keep your dog(s) on the display. The current scale is displayed just below the tracking area.
