This does not work with just the dog collar. - On the individual dog pages, the arrow turns green when the dog is moving, red when the dog is stopped. - On the group dog page (big circle), there will be a small direction indicator for each dog, using the color configured on the Alpha itself, and the distance of the furthest dog. The name of the furthest dog will be displayed above the distance. - On the group dog page, the big circle will turn green if the furthest dog is moving and red if she is stationary. - On the group dog page, the outline of each of the direction indicators will be thick if the dog is stationary, thin if the dog is moving. -The direction arrow is relative to the direction your watch/device is pointing. For best results your watch/device should be held level in front of you. *Settings through your phone: - In Garmin Connect on your phone, select your "watch device / Connect IQ Apps / Applications / Dog Tracker App / settings" - For the Alpha ID in settings, set it to "-1" to lock in the next Alpha found. Use "0" to have it always use the first Alpha it finds, but without locking it in for next time. Or enter the specific Alpha ID you want to always find. You can determine the Alpha ID by setting it to "-1" when no other Alpha's are around. It will then fill in this setting with the current Alpha ID. - Alerts - Set the distance and tones. If you change one of the enter or exit tones (a number from 0 - 19) and and press save while your watch is connected to your phone, it will play the tone on update. This lets you try out various tones. A value of 0 means no tone. - distance alert of zero turns off the distance alerts
