what is DC™ 40 Dog Tracking Collar

DC 40 dog tracking collar is an older model

The DC 40 collar is designed to be used in conjunction with compatible Garmin handheld devices, such as the Garmin Astro series. It is primarily used for tracking the location of dogs during hunting or outdoor activities. Here are some key features and details about the Garmin DC 40 dog tracking collar:

1. GPS Tracking: The DC 40 collar utilizes GPS technology to track the location of your dog. It provides real-time information about your dog’s whereabouts, allowing you to see their position on the handheld device’s map display.

2. Range: The collar has a range of several miles, which can vary depending on the terrain and environmental conditions. This extended range enables you to track your dog even when they are far away.

3. Durability: The DC 40 collar is designed to be durable and withstand outdoor conditions. It is typically water-resistant and built to endure rough terrain and rugged use.

4. Battery Life: The collar is powered by a replaceable battery that provides a certain amount of usage time. The battery life can vary depending on factors such as tracking frequency and environmental conditions.

This rugged, all-weather collar combines a high-sensitivity GPS receiver and VHF antenna into an all-in-one transmitter that works with the Astro® 320 and Astro® 220 to safeguard against your dog getting lost. Astro DC 40 sports a durable 1″ orange polyurethane collar that fits most e-collar receivers — eliminating the need to put two separate collars on a dog. Plus, Collar Lock uses a 4-digit PIN number that helps prevent others from seeing your dog’s whereabouts.

Attach Collar and Go

When teamed up with the Astro 320 and 220, this system will have you hunting in no time. The DC 40, in combination with the Astro 320 and 220 pinpoints your dog’s position every 5 seconds. An innovative charging connection with a flashing LED-charging indicator lets you know when the battery is ready to go. You can extend the battery life of the DC 40 by changing the position transmit rate from 5 to 10, 30, or 120 seconds, enabling the DC 40 to work from 17-48 hours in the field on one charge. You will know if your dog is pointing, sitting, moving or treeing. Where your dog is. Where it’s been. How fast it’s moving and how far it’s gone.
