Each dog you are tracking has its own ID number. If two 

dogs within range of the Astro 220 have the same ID the 

Astro 220 warns you of a conflicting ID signal. It then 

opens a setup wizard to guide you through the process 

of ignoring the conflict. If necessary, you can assign new 

ID numbers to each dog. Also, because you can track 10 

dogs at once, certain IDs cannot be used together. For, 

example: 12, 22, 32, and 42 cannot be used together. For 

this reason, we recommend you allow the Astro 220 to 

automatically assign IDs, unless you are an advanced 

user.

1.  With the Dog Tracker page open, press

MENU > 

select

 Change Comm. Settings.

2.  Follow the on-screen instructions.
3.  Select an unassigned and non-conflicting ID >

 OK.

4. Change the update rate, if desired. Both 10 and 30

second updates reduce battery drain, but create

a less detailed dog track and collected statistics.

(See

for downloading.)

5.  Follow the on-screen instructions to finish the setup 

wizard.

  NOTE: You must be able to touch the Astro 220 to 

the DC 20 to change the ID.

Observe the Dog Info page to determine the battery 

capacity of the DC 20. A fully charged DC 20 operates for 

approximately 17 hours with 5 second interval reporting. 

The Astro 220 and DC 20 use radio signals to 

communicate with each other. Objects in the path of radio 

signals degrade the quality of signal that reaches your 

Astro 220. Keeping an unobstructed “line-of-sight” 

between you and your dog’s DC 20 produces the best 

communication signal. Partially or fully obstructed radio 

waves result in a poor signal.
