Using the Dog Tracking Widget on a fenix 3
The fenix 3 series devices have a Dog Tracking widget. The device software version does have to be up to date in order for the dog tracking widget to be available. Please see related content for updating the software on your device. The dog tracking widget is only functional when used with the Alpha 100, Astro 320 Astro 430, and Pro 550 Plus dog tracking handhelds.
In order for the widget to receive information from the dog tracking handheld Broadcast Mode must be enabled on the handheld*.
To enable Broadcast Mode on the transmitting handheld:
- Go To Main Menu
- Select Setup
- Select Dogs
- Select Broadcast Dog Data
- Select On
*Pro 550 Plus has Broadcast mode enable at all times.
To enable the widget on the wearable:
- Select Settings
- Select Widgets
- Select DogTrack
- Select Status to Show
Once the dog tracking handheld is set to Broadcast Mode and tracking a compatible dog tracking collar the wearable widget will show the dogs names, status, distance and direction from the handheld.
The widget will also alert the user when the Dog has treed or is on point just like the transmitting handheld does. In order for these alerts to show on the watch the user needs to be on the widget screen. The notifications will not occur on the watch if the user is on the watch screen or another widget screen.
