Re: lost astro collar
I get couple days out of my astro probably 12 or 14 hours. Should still be on. That's on the fastest update time, I think 3 seconds. Think there is also a recovery mode you can switch on that slows down update when it gets lower maybe the last 20%. I have tt10 and tt15 collars

Re: lost astro collar
I would definitely slow the update rate and it should be working. Good luck!

Ya. Did you find it
Re: lost astro collar
had my astro on the counter to run the batteries up and down so they stayed good while I await actually being able to use it in the future. (no dog right now)
I finally turned it off after 2 days of it blinking. When they are not connected to the handheld they must not use much energy at all.
curious if he found it!

Re: lost astro collar
I lost a handheld once which I found the next day. My wife accused me of leaving it intentionally so I could skip work the next day to hunt. But that's crazy. I've got a lot of less expensive things I could leave in the field for a valid excuse to hunt an extra day than that.

Re: lost astro collar
No. Just the e-collar controller. Although I was with a guy who did lose a wedding ring while deer hunting, likely during the field dressing process. We looked unsuccessfully and his unhappy little wife made him get a tattoo on his left ring finger.
