   • Batteries are not included. Please use four commercially sold AAA alkaline batteries.

Names and Functions of Parts

[Remaining Battery Power Display]
The LCD screen displays the remaining battery power and informs users when battery replacement is necessary.

• Sufficient battery power remains.
• Replace batteries soon.

Using non-alkaline batteries such as rechargeable nickel–metal hydride batteries may result in the remaining battery power not being displayed correctly.

InsertiAng Batteries

1. Open the battery compartment cover.
2. Insert the batteries.
3. Close the cover.

Regarding Batteries

• We recommended the use of commercially sold AAA alkaline batteries.
• Although rechargeable nickel–metal hydride batteries can also be used, doing so may result in decreased operating time.
• When not using the device for long periods, store it after first removing the batteries.

Estimated Battery Life

• When using AAA alkaline batteries, the estimated battery life when used 1 hr. per day is approximately 3 Weeks.
• Battery life will depend upon usage conditions and usage environment factors such as temperature.

Turning On the Power

Press and hold the ON/OFF button for approximately 2 seconds.
You will hear two electronic beeps, meaning the power is on.

Auto Power-Off

• The power will automatically turn off after 10 minutes if no swings are measured and no buttons are pressed.
• The Auto Power-Off feature can be disabled by holding the ON/OFF button down for 2 seconds while pressing the MODE button. In this case, “OFF” will be shown on the screen for approximately 1 second, after which it will return to the normal screen.

Turning Off the Power

• Press and hold the ON/OFF button for approximately 2 seconds.
• You will hear one electronic beep, meaning the power is off.

Measuring

The swing speed immediately before impact, and the ball speed after impact (or smash factor), are measured simultaneously, after which they are displayed along with estimated carry distance on the LCD screen.

1. Turning on the power
   See “Turning On the Power”.

2. Selecting the club number to be used

   • Quickly press the ENTER button.

   1.     1. The club selection displayed at the top-right of the screen will blink.

   • Use the Scroll buttons to switch club numbers.
     ( W1:Driver , W3-9:Fairway , H3-6:Hybrid , I3-LW: Irons )

   • Complete the selection by pressing the ENTER button.

   • The W1 setting has a minimum threshold, which prevents the radar from triggering if a golfer has a very fast backswing.

   • The threshold value can be changed, please refer to page 9.

3. • To enhance the estimated carry distance the club selection should closely match the club being used by the golfer
4. • If using for an approach shot, select between “PW,” “AW,” “SW “or “LW.” Using other settings may result in measurements not being performed correctly.

5. Setting up the device
   Set up the device as shown below.

   • Set the device on a flat surface and make sure there are no obstructions between the device and the ball.
   • Correct measurement will not be possible if the device is set up in a different direction from the launch direction, or if set up at the incorrect height.
   • The same setup method can be used for left-handed players.

6. Swinging
   After the swing, the results will be shown on the LCD screen.

   • When data updates, the display on the LCD screen will blink.
   • Measurements will not be possible while the display is blinking. Wait until the display stops blinking before swinging again.

Description of Screen Displays

[Display Screen]
Swing speed, ball speed, and estimated carry distance are all displayed simultaneously.

• Swing speed will be measured during practice swings (swings without ball contact).
• On occasion, ball speed and carry distance may be reported on swings without ball contact.
  These are measurement artifacts and should be disregarded

Toggling between Ball speed and Smash factor display
The display can be switched between “Ball speed” and “Smash factor” by quickly pressing the MODE button.

• The selected mode can be confirmed by looking for the icons shown to the left of the display.

Checking History Data

This device enables up to 500 instances of measurement data to be saved in the history. Use the following procedure to display history data.

• Press the Up Scroll button .
  • The most previous measurement results will be displayed.
• You can continue to scroll by continuously pressing the Scroll buttons.
• When the total number of data reaches 500, the oldest data will be automatically overwritten

Deleting History Data
The history data in can be deleted by continuously pressing the Up and Down Scroll buttons simultaneously for 2 or more seconds .

Switching units of measurement
The units of measurement displayed on this device can be switched between imperial andmetric. Use the following procedure to switch the displayed units of measurement

Setting the minimum threshold

Troubleshooting

• Power doesn’t turn on
  • Check whether the orientation of the batteries is correct.
  • Take the batteries out before putting them back in. When doing so, check to make sure proper contact is being made between metal portions.
  • Check the remaining battery power and replace with new batteries if necessary.
• Measurements are not being reported (display does not change after a swing)
  • Check whether the device is set up correctly or try setting up the device again using the methods described in this manual.
  • When a ball is launched at a extremely high trajectory angle (as could be expected when using lob wedge), ball speed may be slower and measurement may not be possible due to the specified smash factor threshold not being met. (This is due to the specifications of the device and is not a malfunction.)
• Measurements seem incorrect
  •  The swing speeds displayed by this device are those measured using our company’s unique criteria. For that reason, measurements may differ from those displayed by measurement devices from other manufacturers.
  • Check whether the device is set up correctly or try setting up the device again using the methods described in this manual.
  • Correct ball speeds may not be displayed depending on the type of ball used. Also, the speeds of plastic practice balls and sponge balls cannot be measured.
  • In rare cases, ball speed and carry distance may be displayed during practice swings. This is due to noise interference and such measurement results are not accurate.

Specifications
