Updating the Software
WARNING
Before you can update the handheld device or collar software,
you must connect the handheld device (Connecting the
Collar to a Computer) to the computer.
This product contains a lithium-ion battery. To prevent the
possibility of personal injury or product damage caused by
battery exposure to extreme heat, store the device out of direct
sunlight.
You must update the software on the handheld device and
collar separately.
Do not use a sharp object to remove batteries.
NOTE: Updating the software does not erase any of your data

Long-Term Storage
NOTICE
Device Care
The normal long-term decrease in the charging capacity of
lithium-ion batteries can be accelerated by exposure to elevated
temperatures. Storing a fully charged device in a location with a
temperature outside the long-term storage temperature range
can significantly reduce its recharging capacity.
NOTICE
Do not store the device where prolonged exposure to extreme
temperatures can occur, because it can cause permanent
damage.
Never use a hard or sharp object to operate the touch screen,
or damage may result.
When you do not plan to use the handheld device for several
months, the battery should be removed. Stored data is not lost
when the battery is removed.
Avoid chemical cleaners and solvents that can damage plastic
components.
When you do not plan to use the collar for several months, the
battery should be charged to about 50%. The device should be
stored in a cool, dry place with temperatures around the typical
household level. After storage, the collar should be fully
recharged before use.
Secure the weather cap tightly to prevent damage to the USB
port.

tempe™
NOTICE
The tempe is an ANT+ wireless temperature sensor. You can
attach the sensor to a secure strap or loop where it is exposed
to ambient air, and therefore, provides a consistent source of
accurate temperature data. You must pair the tempe with your
device to display temperature data from the tempe.
To prevent corrosion, you should dry the contacts on the collar
and the surrounding area before connecting the charging clip.
You can connect the collar to your computer to use with
programs like BaseCamp. The collar is not a mass storage
device.

recognizes the ANT+ accessory each time it is activated.
This process occurs automatically when you turn on the
Garmin device and only takes a few seconds when the
accessories are activated and functioning correctly.
NOTICE
If you do not know the purpose of a file, do not delete it. Your
device memory contains important system files that should not
be deleted.
•
When paired, your Garmin device receives data from only
your accessory, and you can go near other accessories.
