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.

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.
