Go to garmins website and download the update wizard, it's called webupdater. Plug the handheld into your computer, turn it on and go to the collar options for the collar you wanna update and go to upgrade dog unit. Turn collar on and keep it close to the handheld. Make sure your collar is fully charged or it can be damaged if the battery is drained during updating.

To update the software for your collar:

1.Connect the Astro 220 to a computer via the USB cable
2.Power on the Astro
3.Power on the desired dog collar and place it within close proximity of the device
4.Ensure your Astro 220 and dog collar are paired
5.Press the DOG
6.Press the MENU
7.Select Dog List and press ENT
8.Select the dog collar you wish to update and press ENT
9.Select Show Info and press ENT
10.Press the MENU
11.Select Upgrade Dog Unit and press ENT
12.Launch WebUpdater and locate your dog collar within the Device drop down menu
13.Select Next and follow the on screen prompts


During the WebUpdater process, a banner will appear on your Astro 220 stating Upgrading dog unit software... Once this process is complete, you can then begin using your Astro 220 and corresponding dog collar.
