Alpha compass is freezing up when tracking dog. I am only tracking one dog, only have one collar. I can recalculate compass and it usually fixes issue but it happens when I am tracking dog, the yardage continues to work. Anyone know how to solve this problem.

Update the unit. That was a common problem when they first came out.

Do you have any magnets on any of your clothing? Magnets will screw up the compass reading.

mine was doing the same thing. Update ur unit and collars and fixes it.

mine wouldnt just lock up it would b sitting there spinning in all directions lol. id have to reset mine 4-5 times a evening when running. Since updating ive not had a single issue

Thanks I will try updating the hand held and collar.
