2. Enable dog broadcasting from Garmin Astro 430 or Alpha 300/300i handheld device
3. Keep the DriveTrack 72 within 3 metres range of the Garmin handheld device. The DriveTrack 72 can only be connected to one Garmin handheld device each time so please keep other Garmin handheld device at least 5 metres away from the DriveTrack
4. The DriveTrack should automatically sync with the nearby Garmin handheld and the Dog icon should have a Green Tick under it when it is connected successfully.

Please note: Always have all the Garmin devices firmware update to latest version for “Problem free” use.
