Pairing a Dog Tracking Collar to the Alpha 200 Plus or Alpha 300 Series
Up to 250 compatible dog tracking collars can be paired to the Alpha® 200 Plus, Alpha® 300, or Alpha® 300i dog tracking handheld wirelessly using MURS/VHF, by entering the track and control codes, or by sharing wirelessly from another handheld using ANT+ technology. Up to 20 collars can be actively tracked at one time.
Adding a Dog Collar Wirelessly
To pair wirelessly, the collar should be within close proximity (approx. 10 feet) to the handheld and away from sources of interference.
NOTE: You must have the removable VHF antenna installed on your handheld for pairing to complete.

Using Track and Control Codes to Add a Dog Collar
Dog collars can be paired to an Alpha 200 Plus, Alpha 300, or Alpha 300i handheld using track and control codes if the collar has already been paired to a different handheld. Track codes allow the handheld to track the collar; Control codes allow the handheld to both track and use training functions of the collar.

Once the newly shared dog collar device is turned on and within range of the new handheld, allow up to 1 minute of actively tracking that dog in range before the training commands are automatically added and the new collar is fully connected and trackable. If the handheld is turned off before this occurs, you may have to remove the newly shared dog and redo these steps.
