I upgraded my unit and collars the other night, the collars are blinking three times. I took it out last night and it won't keep reception on the collars. It will pick up a collar for a minute or so, then lose it for a long time... showing a "?" for that dog. I added one of Mandi's collars and it tracked hers just fine. Any ideas before I go to Garmin?  ? |

Mike,
Reload the upgraded software. My Astro did have issues 1 time, I reloaded it, and it worked fine. The triple blinks means it has great reception. Let us know what happens.

Should I reload the unit and the collars or just the collars? |

I updated my collars and unit again three different times last night... same problem. The collars will pick for a minute or two... then it will drop them. Every now and then they will pop up, then drop again. They worked fine before the upgrade... I contacted Garmin, we'll see what they say. |

When Curr Dog and I updated my collars it was doing something like that. We were standing close to a metal building we think was causing the problem so we moved away from the building and it seems to be working fine now. I think that was the same collar that we picked up for 2 miles... |

-First you will have to install the webupdater off the Garmin web site onto your pc.
-second you will plug your astro into your computer via. USB
-third you will have to follow the directions on the webupdater, choose astro and download the new software
-Fourth you will have to turn your collars on and choose dc40, dc30 etc. and update them individually while your astro is still plugged in
The collars update through the hand held while it is attached to the computer

They had me send all my collars back to them... hopefully i'll get them back next week. Give them a call or send them an e-mail, looks like a lot of folks are having issues with the collar upgrade. |

Mike I have sent several collars back to them and believe it or not it has never taken over 5 days to get it back |
