.

On the T5 I have seen this problem and it could be a couple different things. If your using a splitter cable then take it off and plug it direct to the one cable. If nothing changes try swapping form house charger to car charger or a different house charger if you have more than one. Last but not least you may want to look at the contacts on the collar and see if one is discolored. Clean all of them with alcohol. Even if they look clean then clean them again. Light rubbing would help.

On the DC 50, if you have more than one. You could swap batteries around and see if it is the battery. My guess with it would be to send it back to Garmin for exchange collar.

Hello Mr, Conkey. Got a replacement alpha 100 when the original got dropped and messed up the screen.

My husband used it for a night and the map was fuzzy, I tried to mess with the settings and now I can't get maps to show, have huntview and another one enabled. He thinks I've totally messed this up.

There is no map option "declutter screen" and found out that in my 2018 update they changed declutter to "map on/off.

Well I can't find the map on/option off either! Not anywhere in any of the menus. I'm really tired of messing with this and really don't want to have to do a master reset and my husband is very unhappy.

Can anyone tell me exactly where I should find map on/off.

The other weird thing is that I had the unit completely charged last night and he only hunted an hour and yet when I tried to fix it today it said the battery was low.

Is it user error, wife of user error or did they send me a refurbished unit that is messed up?

I appreciate everyone's help on this.

I think the wording your looking for is
Hide maps or show maps. Find that and toggle back and forth and naps should appear and then go away. Is it possible the screen saver came on and the unit appeared off and you left it on to run down battery

There is another feature not associated the the declutter change. That has been on all systems. It is under map menu then setup. It shows all the maps installed and each map has an Enable and Disable function. Just not sure what function your looking for of think you changer. If you cant fix it. Have someone have it in their hand and call 904-692-1568 abter 10 and ask for corey.

Web updater

Updated my hunting buddys alpha 100 and tt15. Then updated my alpha 100 and tried to update my tt15 and t5 and wouldn't recognize either collar. Do I need to send the collars in. Used same cords for buddys collar. Put his collar back hooked to web updater and recognized his again.

Did you use a MAC Compute for the collars. IF so that is the problem. Find a window computer and redo them..
Lot of times it is just a matter of stopping and starting over again. Even turning the computer off and starting off helps. But remember the Collars don't like to be upgraded on MACs.

make sure the contacts on your collar are clean , might scuff them a little with scuff pad just to make sure oxidation can inhibit the connection even though they look ok,

T5

Bruce,

Got a T5 collar I have had for a while. The other night in a comp hunt the collar showed the dog was 600 yards away and he was right beside me. It didn't show a question mark. 15 minutes later it still showed him in the same spot. Still no question mark. Took the collar home and charged it. Turned it on and it will not link up with my alpha. I deleted it out and readded it by selecting that collar is near the alpha and it adds it but show a question mark and no info. How can it add it but yet it cannot communicate? Have you seen this before?

Thanks,

Nathan

Doesnt sound good for your T5. About the only thing you can try and probably wont work but may. Is to master reset it and then update it. Instructions for doing both can be found by googling it. Sending it back to Garmin would cost just over a hundred bucks. Might be the best ootion.

Just sharing info. Not trying to make a sale as many dealers have this same offer now. Garmin has rebates on the Alpha now along with the Drive Track and purchase both you ger a Two hundred dollar rebate. See your favorite dealer for details.

Interference

Last night while hunting I had one collar that my Garmin alpha kept saying I had interference with. My son was hunting with me tracking the same collars with his Alpha. He had no problems. I was paired to him but he wasn't paired to me. I unpaired him and the problem continued. Why? What do I do about this?

Change your ID number as you have 100 to choose from.

The 320 probably needs to be upgraded. It came out long before the cards did and they need the new upgrades for the card to be functional.

not clear zoomed out is normal.
The loss of communication is something totally different and could be a number of things. Also the range for turning on the lights varies but in most cases they need to be close but not right next to one another. You can play around with changing ID numbers on your collar and see if that helps. Best thing is to test your T5 against another T5 and see if the problem is in the collar. Then see what a buddies handheld does to see if the problem is in the handheld.

Not sure about the issue with your contacts.
