Using the Dog Tracking Widget on a MARQ Series Watch

The MARQ series has a Dog Tracking widget. The dog tracking widget is only functional when used with the Alpha 100, Alpha 200i, Astro 320, Astro 430 and Astro 900 dog tracking handhelds.

In order for the widget to receive information from the dog tracking handheld, Broadcast Mode must be enabled on the handheld.

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 watch needs to be displaying the DogTrack widget. Alerts will not display on the time screen or other widgets on the watch.
