Tracking Your Dog

The Dog Tracker page shows the direction and distance of the dog 

from the Astro 220 and the status of the dog.
To view the Dog Tracker page press DOG.
The dog you are tracking is identified, and the dog pointer 

indicates the dog’s direction from you. The dog pointer is most 

accurate when you are holding the Astro 220 level and the dog is 

farther than 30 feet (9.1 meters) away. At less than that distance, a 

NEAR message appears, and the dog pointer is shortened. When 

you are close to the dog, the dog pointer may be inaccurate.
