Pairing a Dog Collar to the Astro Device
Before you can pair devices to the handheld device, the
handheld device must be close enough to the dog collar device
to touch it.
The handheld device can track up to 20 dogs with dog collar
devices. If you purchase additional dog collar devices, you can
link them to the handheld device.

Select DOG.
2
Select Add Dog.
3
Turn off the dog collar device.
4
Follow the on-screen instructions.
By default, the new dog is named “Dog” and an ID number is
randomly assigned.
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.
1
Select DOG > Add Dog.

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.

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

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).
