Issue: Dog Tracking is not working - "Watch Says No Devices Found"

18 November 2024 11:47

When I start the MyHunt Watch app, after a while it shows: "No devices found" on the watch. Why is it not working?

This is a common issue, that often happens, when there is a connection issue between the watch and the Base Station. Here is how you can resolve it:

1. Check if your handheld device has activated broadcasting of dog data

--- activate--->

On your Garmin handheld device, you need to turn on the ‘Broadcast Dog Data’ option. Follow these steps, depending on your Garmin Handheld device:

Alpha 100 & Astro

Select Setup
Select Dogs
Select Broadcast Dog Data & Enable it
Then restart the MyHunt Watch app and try again

Alpha 200/300

Select Setup
Select System
Toggle on Broadcast Dog Data
Then restart the MyHunt Watch app and try again

Alpha 10

Select Setup
Select Remote View
Select Status to turn on
Then restart the MyHunt Watch app and try again

Here is a video that shows the process on a Garmin alpha 200.

2. Deactivate Garmin Dog Track on your Garmin Watch to free up the connection for MyHunt

--- deactivate--->

To deactivate Dog Track and allow a connection with Myhunt:

1. Go to Settings (long press ‘UP’)
2. Go to Sensors & Accessories
3. Scroll down the list, and select “Dog Track”
4. Select Status and Deactivate it (if enabled) 
5. Then restart the MyHunt Watch app and try again

Here is a video showing the process.
