Using the Golf Simulator
Features

2. Select Golf Sim.

4. Follow the on-screen instructions.

Preparing for a Shot

1.  Place the ball at the desired tee location.
   NOTE: The tee location must be at least 8 ft. (2.4 m) away from the net when playing indoors.

2. Attach the device to the tripod mount (page 5).

3. Place the device on the ground between 6 ft. and 8 ft. (1.8 m and 2.4 m) behind the tee location.
   NOTE: If you are using a golf mat, make sure the bottom edge of the device sits above the mat.

4. Adjust the device so the red alignment line is aligned with the tee location and the target of the shot.
   TIP: You can lay a golf club on the ground between the alignment line and tee location to confirm they are lined up.

5.  If necessary, you can move the tee location up to 1 ft. (0.3 m) on either side of the target line, within a 2 x 2 ft. (0.6 x 0.6 m) hitting area that begins 6 ft. (1.8 m) from the device.
   This may be helpful if your tee location becomes worn during a golf simulator game mode session.
   NOTE: The ball and club angles are measured parallel to the target line.
   

6.  Press the button to turn on the device.

7. Start a golf simulator game mode (page 4).

Troubleshooting

My device is tipped too far
If an error message appears in the Garmin Golf app indicating your device is tipped too far, you can try these tips.

• Verify the tripod mount is properly installed on the device.
• Move the device to a more level surface.
• Move the device to a more stable surface.
•  Move the device to a surface that is more in line with the ball.

Adjusting the Device Alignment
If the device is misaligned, your swing metrics while using the golf simulator features will not be accurate. For example, if the alignment is off by several degrees, the metrics will also be off by several degrees. If your swing metrics seem to be inaccurate, you can adjust the alignment.

1.  Hit a short, straight shot using a high loft club, such as a sand wedge.

2.  Compare the shot to the ball launch direction in the Garmin Golf app.
   If the device is misaligned, the ball launch direction in the app will not match your shot. For example, if the device is facing too far to the left of your target line, the launch direction shown in the app will be farther right than your shot.

3.  Adjust the alignment of the device as needed.

4.  Repeat this process until the ball launch direction in the app matches your shot.

Tips for Using the Carrying Case

•  Place the device in the carrying case with its front facing down to avoid pressing the button.
•  Leave the bag clip and phone mount attached when placing them in the carrying case.

Resetting the Device
If the device stops responding, you may need to reset it. This does not erase any of your data.

Hold the button until the status LED turns off.
The device resets.
