Tracking a DC 50 with an Alpha 100

It is not possible to directly pair a DC™ 50 dog tracking collar to an Alpha® 100 handheld. It is, however, possible to transfer a DC 50 collar to an Alpha 100 handheld from an Astro 430 handheld using the track/control codes or sharing wirelessly.1 It is important to make sure that all devices have the latest software version to ensure the pairing and transfer process goes smoothly. 


Pairing a DC 50 Collar to an Astro 430 Handheld

  1. Press Dog
  2. Select Add Dog
  3. Select Yes
  4. Follow the on-screen instructions

After pairing is complete, you can add the dog collar device to the Alpha 100 handheld using the dog collar device track code.


Transferring a DC 50 Collar to an Alpha 100 Handheld

  1. Touch Dog List
  2. Touch Add Dog
  3. When asked if you are near the collar, touch No
  4. When asked if you know the track and train codes, touch Yes
  5. Enter the track or train code for the collar, and touch Check Mark
  6. If desired, enter a name for the dog, and touch OK

The DC 50 collar will now be paired to the Alpha 100 handheld.


1Although the collar can be transferred to the Alpha for tracking purposes, the Bark Detection mode will not transfer over. If Bark Detection mode is needed a different collar, such as a TT™ 15 or TT™ 15 mini, should be used instead.
