***RESCUE MODE***
BUBBA'S HOG DOG'Z SUPPLY Sun Aug 05, 2012 7:14 am
New: RESCUE MODE
When the battery on a tracking collar dies, finding a missing a dog gets a lot more difficult. When the collar battery drops to 25% life, RESCUE MODE changes the update rate to a 2-minute ping to extend battery life which gives you up to 12 hours to find a lost dog.
Rescue mode is not the default setting. You have to turn it on under SETTINGS.
I can't think of a good reason NOT to run your collar in rescue mode because there's no downside to running in rescue mode. If you know where your dogs are with 25% battery life left, you can manually switch to a faster update rate from the ALPHA handheld and keep on hunting.
Garmin has added two new location alerts to the Alpha: Geofences (from the GTU tracker background) and a new Radius option that tells you when your dogs get a certain distance away from you.
