How Does Dynamic Update Mode Work?
Dynamic update mode utilizes several factors to help keep an accurate dog track while increasing battery life.- Dynamic update leverages the dog's motion to maximize battery life by only sending track information when needed. The structure of the dog's track line is not impacted by dynamic update, as the update rate changes to 2.5 seconds when the dog is moving.
- When the collar is not moving, the update rate is set to 30 seconds. When the collars start moving, the update changes to 2.5 seconds.
- If the last position is equal to current position, the collar does not send an update. If it has been more than 30 seconds, the collar will send an update.
- If last position isn't equal to current position, the collar will send an update every 2.5 seconds.
- The dog's status (On Point/Treed/Sitting/Running) has changed from the last transmitted status.
NOTE: This option is only for the Alpha TT 25 and Alpha T20 series.
Rescue Mode
You can turn on rescue mode to conserve battery power at the end of the a long hunt or if your dog might get out of range. After you turn rescue mode on, it stays on until you turn it off. When the collar battery power falls below 25%, the collar data updates only once every 2 minutes.On the handheld:
