Disabling Dog Data Broadcast
By default, the handheld device broadcasts dog data to
compatible devices. You can disable data broadcasting to keep
your data from being seen on other compatible devices. See the
owner's manual for your compatible device for more information.

Enabling Rescue Mode
Before you can enable rescue mode, you must turn on the dog
collar device and bring it within 3 m (10 ft.) of the handheld
device.
If you are concerned about your dog becoming lost and running
down the battery life of the collar, you can enable rescue mode.
Rescue mode extends the battery life of the collar to allow you
more time to locate the dog. You can preserve the battery life of
your dog collar device by enabling a low power, battery-saving
mode from your handheld device. This reduces how frequently
the collar sends position updates to the handheld device when
the dog collar device battery is low.
