Go to garmins website and download the update wizard for it. All you gotta do is plug your garmin into your computer and update it. Update the collar as well, if this doesn't help there may be a more serious problem.

its your antenna on your collar....ive put 3 or 4 different ones on my collars over the last few years and usually when they would lose signal at 200 yds. thats a sign the antenna is junk.
