Adding a Dog to the Astro 900 Handheld
The handheld device can track up to 20 dogs with dog collar
devices. If you purchase additional dog collar devices, you can
add them to the handheld device.
NOTE: You can only add a dog collar device of the same
communication protocol to your handheld device. Go to
support.garmin.com/collars for compatibility information.
1
Bring your dog collar device within range of the handheld
device.
NOTE: The devices should be close enough to touch.
2
Select DOG.
3
Select Add Dog.
4
Follow the on-screen instructions.
NOTE: An error message could appear if there is a conflict
with the ID number of another dog.
After pairing is complete, you can add the dog collar device to
additional handheld devices using the dog collar device track
code or control code.
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.

When asked if you are near the collar, select No.

When asked if you know the track and control codes, select
Yes.

The dog’s track code allows you to track the dog. The dog’s
control code allows you to both track the dog and access the
collar settings.

Enter the name of the dog, and select Done > OK.
Finding the Dog ID and Track and Control Codes
You can share a dog’s track code so another person can track
your dog. Also, you can share a dog's control code so another

Assigning a Dog ID Manually
Before you can assign a dog ID manually, you must turn on the
dog collar device and bring it within 3 m (10 ft.) of the handheld

Changing the Update Rate
You can select a longer duration for the update rate to conserve
battery power. The 30-second and 2-minute rates reduce battery
drain, but they record less-detailed dog tracks and statistics.

device.

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).
