Adding Dogs to the Dog List
If you purchase additional DC 30 units, you can link them
to the Astro 220 using the setup wizard in the Dog List.
To link, the Astro 220 must be close enough to the DC 30
to touch it, or you must know the DC 30 ID number.
To add a new dog to the list:
1. On the Dog Tracker page, press MENU > Dog List >
<Add New> > ENTER to open the setup wizard.
2. Use the Rocker and ENTER to select and conrm
options. By default, the new dog is named “Dog” and
an ID number is randomly assigned.
NOTE: The setup wizard may indicate that there is a
conict with the ID number of another dog. To resolve
the conict, follow the instructions in the setup wizard
and in “Conicting Dog Signals.”
Conicting Dog Signals
Each dog you track has its own ID number. If two dogs
within range of the Astro 220 have the same ID, the
Astro 220 warns you of a conicting ID signal. It then
opens a setup wizard to guide you through the process of
resolving the conict.
If necessary, you can manually assign a new ID number
to a dog. When possible, you should allow the Astro 220
to automatically assign IDs.
12 Astro Dog Tracking System Owner’s Manual
To assign a new ID number to a dog and change
the update rate:
1. On the Dog Information page, press MENU > Change
Comm. Settings.
2. Select an unassigned and nonconicting ID > OK.
3. Change the update rate, if desired. Both 10-second
and 30-second updates reduce battery drain, but
they create a less-detailed dog track and collected
statistics.
4. Ensure that the Astro 220 is within a few feet of the
DC 30.
5. Complete the setup wizard instructions.
Tips for Successful Tracking
Use a fully charged DC 30. A fully charged DC 30
•
operates for approximately 17 hours when using
5-second interval reporting.
•
Use line-of-sight radio communication. The Astro 220
and DC 30 use radio signals to communicate. Objects
in the path of radio signals degrade the quality of
the signals. Keeping an unobstructed line of sight
Dog Tracking
between you and your dog’s DC 30 produces the best
communication signal. Obstructed radio waves result
in a poor signal. To achieve the best line-of-sight
conditions, move to the highest elevation point in your
area (for example, on the top of a hill).

Основная информация
Создать план тренировок и загрузить определенные упражнения на свои часы — это довольно простой процесс. Для начала потребуется завести учетную запись в приложении Garmin Connect, а после этого провести сопряжение гаджета с совестимым смартфоном.
Затем потребуется выполнить ряд действий:
1. Открыть приложение, найти строку «Занятие» в левом вертикальном меню.
2. Нажать на пункт «Тренировки».
3. Выбрать желаемый тип занятий и нажать на кнопку «Создать тренировку».
4. Когда откроется новое окно, создать свою личную тренировку и дать ей имя, после чего сохранить.
5. Отправить созданный план упражнений в «Календарь тренировок», нажав на иконку , расположенную справа от названия новой тренировки.
6. Отправить готовый список упражнений на свой гаджет (часы), воспользовавшись иконкой .
Теперь после очередной синхронизации часов с приложением каждая тренировка будет в них загружаться.
Где найти упражнения
После того как созданная тренировка была загружена в смарт-часы, ее нужно найти. Для этого потребуется сделать следующее (данный алгоритм прописан на основе часов Garmin Fenix 5X, но он примерно одинаковый для всех моделей):
1. Нажать на кнопку START.
2. С помощью кнопок DOWN и UP выбрать нужный вид спорта.
3. Зажать кнопку Menu (средняя левая).
4. Пролистать до пункта «Тренировка», выбрать его при помощи кнопки START.
5. Пролистать до раздела «Календарь тренировок» и снова выбрать его кнопкой START — здесь и будут сохранены созданные упражнения.
Для начала занятий потребуется еще раз нажать на START.
Как провести синхронизацию Garmin Connect и Google Fit
Чтобы синхронизировать «Гармин Коннект» с Google Fit, необходимо сначала скачать на смартфон с ОС Android приложения MyFitnessPal и Strava.
После этого:
1. Запустить Garmin Connect и создать новую учетную запись, указав свое имя, адрес электронной почты и пароль.
2. Открыть приложение MyFitnessPal и здесь тоже создать новую учетную запись.
3. В MyFitnessPal нажать на пункт «Установить на телефоны» и добавить источники с названием Garmin, используя приложение «Гармин», а затем нажать кнопку «Включено».
4. Начнется процесс аутентификации. Для его завершения нужно подключить Garmin, войдя в свою учетную запись этого приложения.
5. Добавить пункт назначения с именем Google Fit и нажать на кнопку «Включить».
6. Нажать на значок вверху и завершить процесс аутентификации с адресом электронной почты, который синхронизируется в течение нескольких секунд.
7. Перейти к настройкам приложения Strava, нажать на пункт «Другие услуги» и подключить его к Google Fit и MyFitnessPal.
8. В веб-браузере войти в аккаунт Strava и нажать на знак «+» в правом верхнем углу.
9. Найти ссылку, заявленную Garmin, и поле с надписью «Начать» — нажать на него и следовать дальнейшим инструкциям. После этого появится всплывающее окно Gamin, где будет разрешение на синхронизацию со Strava.
На этом синхронизация Garmin Connect и Google Fit завершена.
Как создать цель
Функция цели занятия задействуется совместно с Virtual Partner, что дает возможность пользователям ставить перед собой конкретную задачу по времени, расстоянию и дистанции, скорости или темпу.
Чтобы создать цель в «Гармин Коннект», необходимо (на примере часов MARQ Drive):
1. Нажать кнопку START в режиме отображения времени.
2. Найти и выбрать подходящее занятие.
3. Зажать кнопку Menu.
4. Выбрать пункт «Тренировка», а затем «Задать цель».
5. Нажать на один из представленных вариантов: «Только расстояние» (для выбора одной из дистанций в списке или постановки целевого значения), «Расстояние и время», «Расстояние и скорость» или «Расстояние и темп». После этого откроется экран цели тренировки, где будет указано расчетное время финиша.
6. Нажать на кнопку Start, чтобы запустить таймер тренировки.
Теперь во время занятий часы в реальном времени будут отображать прогресс в достижении поставленной цели.
Где посмотреть личные рекорды
Рекорды в Garmin Connect устанавливаются как автоматически при помощи проведения устройством измерения и отслеживания определенных этапов занятий, так и вручную самим пользователем. Просмотреть свои личные достижения можно в смарт-часах после тренировки.
Для этого следует (на примере часов Venu, но подходит и для других моделей):
1. Нажать и удерживать кнопку Menu в режиме отображения времени.
2. Выбрать пункт «Архив», затем «Рекорды».
3. Выбрать вид спорта.
4. Найти и нажать на нужный рекорд.
5. Нажать пункт «Просмотреть рекорд».
Если есть желание посмотреть свою статистику занятий на смартфоне или ПК, то необходимо в приложении Garmin Connect зайти в «Календарь тренировок», где под самим календарем выводится быстрая статистика за месяц или неделю как по всем видам занятий, так и по каждому отдельно.
Как остановить функцию «Статус тренировки»
Каждый владелец умных часов Garmin может приостановить свой статус тренировки. Чтобы это сделать, необходимо последовать одному из двух алгоритмов:
1. После открытия меню статуса тренировки на часах зажать кнопку Menu, после чего выбрать пункт «Опции», а затем «Приост. «Статус тренировки»».
2. В настройках приложения Garmin Connect выбрать пункт «Статистика показателей» → «Статус тренировки» → «Приостановить действие функции «Статус тренировки»».
При этом пользователь может продолжать записывать занятия, однако на время приостановки статуса рекомендации по выполнению упражнений и отзыв о восстановлении будут отключены.
Как удалить и добавить тренировку
Чтобы изменить список тренировок, удалив ненужный комплекс занятий, необходимо (на примере часов Instinct):
1. В режиме отображения циферблата нажать и удерживать кнопку Menu.
2. Выбрать поочередно пункты: «Настройки» → «Занятия и приложения».
3. Найти нужное занятие.
4. Удалить его, используя один из следующих вариантов:
- выбрать пункт «Удалить из Избранного», чтобы тренировка не отображалась в списке избранных;
- выбрать пункт «Убрать», чтобы удалить занятие из общего списка.
Теперь список занятий изменен, и можно добавлять новые, актуальные тренировки.
Как изменить расписание
Если есть желание пропустить, перенести, обрезать занятие, то в Garmin Connect это возможно. Причем программа сама изменит расписание по факту пропущенной тренировки.
Если планируется пропустить занятие, то сообщить об этом Garmin Coach можно при помощи часов.
Если же выполнение упражнений нужно перенести на другой день, тогда потребуется:
- Зайти в приложение Garmin Connect.
- Перейти к личному тренеру (Garmin Coach).
- Выбрать предстоящую тренировку.
- Выбрать другую дату занятия при помощи меню в верхнем правом углу.
В случае слишком частого переноса тренировок программа Garmin Coach может предложить пользователю на время приостановить занятия.
Что такое Garmin Coach
Garmin Coach — бесплатная тренинг-платформа, которая подготавливает пользователей к пяти- и десятикилометровым забегам и полумарафонам.
Такой компьютерный «тренер» может определить уровень подготовки пользователя, составить индивидуальный план занятий с учетом возможностей владельца часов, задавать цели.
При этом Garmin Coach следит за тем, как выполняются упражнения. Если пользователь справился с заданием быстро и легко, программа может предложить дополнительные занятия и увеличит нагрузку (например, в часах Garmin Fenix 6 предусмотрена силовая тренировка).
Кроме того, что пользователь получит план тренировок, ему будут предоставлены и анимированные упражнения к каждому занятию, а также полезные статьи о подготовке к длительным забегам, о правильном питании.
Такая программа подходит как тренерам, профессиональным спортсменам, так и новичкам в области пробежек — для каждого занятия подбираются отдельно (так, во многих часах предусмотрен обычный, кроссовый, маховый бег).
Что такое «Шкала подв сбр» Garmin?
Владельцы смарт-часов Garmin, разбираясь с функционалом гаджета, нередко могут заметить всплывающее уведомление «Шкала подв. сбр.», появляющееся на экране одновременно с короткой вибрацией.
Данное сообщение связано с функцией трекера активности. На английском языке она звучит так: «Move bar cleared», что можно перевести на русский как «Шкала подвижности сброшена».
Дело в том, что если пользователь в течение одного часа остается на одном месте, часы начинают вибрировать, а на экране высвечивается надпись «Вперед!». После этого шкала подвижности, имеющая вид полоски, начинает постепенно заполняться — по одному сегменту каждые 15 мин. Когда пользователь встает и передвигается, она сбрасывается и высвечивается соответствующее уведомление: «Шкала подв. сбр.».
Эта функция выступает в качестве напоминания о необходимости быть активным.
Используемые в часах Garmin программы для тренировок
В большинство моделей смарт-часов Garmin встроено несколько различных программ, необходимых для занятий спортом:
1. Training Center. Это программа для работы со спортивными навигаторами «Гармин». Основными ее возможностями являются составление тренировок, таблица результатов показаний, просмотр пройденного трека на карте, отображение графиков показателей высоты, скорости, темпа, пульса, уровня стресса и т.п.
2. UltraTrac. Данный режим выступает настройкой GPS, которая обеспечивает периодическое отключение навигатора для экономии заряда аккумулятора. В таком случае для расчета расстояния и скорости используется акселерометр.
3. Run Walk Run. Это особая стратегия Garmin, представляющая собой чередование бега и ходьбы, что позволяет добиться значительных результатов в подготовке к забегу на дальние дистанции.
Теперь разобраться с созданием тренировок, изменением расписания, синхронизацией устройств и просмотром личных рекордов станет гораздо проще. В целом, интерфейс у большинства часов Garmin довольно простой. Если внимательно прочитать инструкцию, настройка занятий не вызовет затруднений.
