Do not incinerate the DC30 or the battery. When storing the unit for a limited length of time, store within the following temperature range: from -4F to 104F (from -20 to 40C). When storing the unit for an extended time, store within the following temperature range: from 32F to 77F (from 0 to 25C). Do not operate the unit outside of the following temperature range: from -4 to 140F (from -20 to 60C). Recharge the unit within the following temperature range: from 32F to 113F (from 0 to 45C). The DC 30 contains a replaceable, rechargeable lithium-ion battery, the following warnings also apply: Do not recharge the battery outside of the unit or disassemble the battery. Keep the used battery away from children. Do not disassemble, puncture, or damage the battery. Replace the battery with a Garmin lithium-ion battery pack. Using another battery presents a risk of fire or explosion. To purchase a replacement battery, see your Garmin dealer or the Garmin Web site (www.garmin.com). Do not leave the DC 30 where a dog may attempt to chew on it. If the battery cell is punctured, electrolyte can be released that can be harmful to the dog. Astro Dog Tracking System Owners Manual

DC30 Battery Warnings

If these guidelines are not followed, the internal lithium-ion battery may experience a shortened life span or may present a risk of damage to the DC30, fire, chemical burn, electrolyte leak, or injury.

Using the Status Bar

The status bar at the top of each Astro220 page provides status information.

Status Bar

Dog Tracking
This section describes communications between the DC30 and the Astro, tracking dogs on the map, and adding dogs to the Dog List.
When communicating with the DC30, the Dog Tracker page indicates the direction of the dog, the distance away from you, and the status of the dog. The Astro220 can keep track of ten dogs. Use the Rocker to scroll through the list of dogs.
Dog pointer (direction to the dog)
Communicating with the DC30
The DC30 that was packaged with your Astro220 System was linked with the Astro220 at the factory. If you are using a DC30 that you ordered separately, follow the instructions for adding a new dog on page 12 to establish communications with the Astro220.

To view the Dog Tracker page: Press DOG.
The dog you are tracking is identified and the dog pointer indicates its direction from you. The dog pointer is most accurate when you are holding the Astro220 level and the dog is farther than 30 feet (9.1 meters) away. At less than that distance, a NEAR message appears, and the dog pointer is shortened. When you are close to the dog, the dog pointer may be inaccurate. To change the color of your dogs pointer, see page 31.
Dog Status Icons Sitting Running On point Treed Unknown
The Map page indicates the following: The location of the dog, its name, and a track showing its movements Your location and track
Marked locations on map Dog status icon Dog track
Accuracy circle Your position is indicated by the position pointer
The Unknown status symbol [?], indicates that the DC30 has not acquired a satellite signal and that the Astro220 cannot determine the location of the dog.
To track a dog on the Map page: Press MAP.
Note: When the Map page is in the Track Up orientation mode, objects on the map appear to rotate around your position. As you move, the entire map reorients in the direction you are facing. To stabilize the objects, set the orientation to North Up (page 47).
For more information about the Map page features and custom settings, refer to page 46.
Astro Dog Tracking System Owners Manual11
Dog Tracker Page Options Menu
To open the Dog Tracker page Options menu: On the Dog Tracker page, press MENU. Show Infoopens the Dog Information page for the selected dog. Pause (or Resume) All Trackingpauses tracking of all dogs. Calibrate Compasscalibrates the compass (page 6). View Dog Listopens the Dog List to add or remove dogs. Small Numbers (or Big Numbers)changes the size of the dog descriptions on the Dog Tracker page. Press the left or right arrows on the Rocker to scroll through multiple dogs in the Big Numbers mode.
To add a new dog to the list: 1. On the Dog Tracker page, press MENU > Dog List > <Add New> > ENTER to open the setup wizard. 2. Use the Rocker and ENTER to select and confirm options. By default, the new dog is named Dog and an ID number is randomly assigned. Note: The setup wizard may indicate that there is a conflict with the ID number of another dog. To resolve the conflict, follow the instructions in the setup wizard and in Conflicting Dog Signals.

Conflicting Dog Signals

Adding Dogs to the Dog List
Each dog you track has its own ID number. If two dogs within range of the Astro220 have the same ID, the Astro220 warns you of a conflicting ID signal. It then opens a setup wizard to guide you through the process of resolving the conflict. If necessary, you can manually assign a new ID number to a dog. When possible, you should allow the Astro220 to automatically assign IDs.

If you purchase additional DC30 units, you can link them to the Astro220 using the setup wizard in the Dog List. To link, the Astro220 must be close enough to the DC30 to touch it, or you must know the DC30 ID number.
To assign a new ID number to a dog and change the update rate: 1. On the Dog Information page, press MENU > Change Comm. Settings. 2. Select an unassigned and nonconflicting ID > OK. 3. Change the update rate, if desired. Both 10-second and 30-second updates reduce battery drain, but they create a less-detailed dog track and collected statistics. 4. Ensure that the Astro220 is within a few feet of the DC30. 5. Complete the setup wizard instructions.
between you and your dogs DC30 produces the best communication signal. Obstructed radio waves result in a poor signal. To achieve the best line-of-sight conditions, move to the highest elevation point in your area (for example, on the top of a hill).
Tips for Successful Tracking
Use a fully charged DC30. A fully charged DC30 operates for approximately 17 hours when using 5second interval reporting. Use line-of-sight radio communication. The Astro220 and DC30 use radio signals to communicate. Objects in the path of radio signals degrade the quality of the signals. Keeping an unobstructed line of sight
POOR Line-of-Sight Radio Communication
