Changing the Update Rate While on a Hunt

While on a hunt, it is possible to change the update rate of the Astro® dog tracking collars. The handheld will need to be no more than 10 feet away from the dog collar device to have the change take place. In contrast, the Alpha® dog tracking systems can change the update rate collar at the full range capability of the system.
