Astro 430 and Astro 900 - Starting a New Hunt and Marking the Truck Location

For the Astro® 430 and Astro® 900, the Start New Hunt tool allows you to clear the dogs' previous hunt information. This tool resets the dogs' track lines on the map, prompts you to activate or deactivate dog devices, and resets the Hunt Metrics tool. Other models of dog tracking handhelds (such as the older Astro 320 and new Alpha models) will also offer to Mark your Truck location, however the Astro 430 and 900 instead have a dedicated Mark button on the keypad for you to manually mark the Truck. Please see below for steps on each function.
