CHANGE COMMUNICATION SETTINGS
The COMMUNICATION screen allows you to set the User ID, GPS channel, and E-Collar channel (optional). The User ID
is a unique identifier used by the Handheld Device and shared with the GPS Collar. The GPS channel is the radio channel
used for communication between the GPS Collar and the Handheld Device. The E-Collar channel is the radio channel
used for communication between the optional E-Collar module and the Handheld Device. The collar learns the User ID
and GPS channel during the pairing process.
The Handheld Device uses an ID value to distinguish it from other Handheld Devices. This ID is factory set and for most
users will never need attention. The ID value can be viewed on either the STATUS or ABOUT screens.
If the factory-set User ID on your Handheld Device conflicts with another Handheld Device, you should change the User
ID to eliminate the conflict. Alternately, if two users want to have the ability to monitor the same dog(s) with each user
operating his own Handheld Device, they can choose to set their User IDs to match.
The only reason to change the GPS channel is if there is outside interference (other radios in the area) causing
communications problems.
TO CHANGE THE USER ID:
1. From the main menu, select
SETTINGS > COMMUNICATION > USER ID
.
2. Press the up or down arrows to select a user ID number from 0 – 100.
Note: The User ID value is a number from 0 to 100 that is used to alter the actual ID value that the Handheld Device uses
for communication. A value of 0 is used to revert back to the factory set ID.
3. Press the right arrow to confirm your selection.
4. At the prompt,
“ARE YOU SURE YOU WANT TO CONTINUE?”
select
YES
