Adjusting the Eyepiece

The device features an adjustable eyepiece (+/- 4 diopter adjustment). This allows you to focus the screen for your eyesight.
Rotate the eyepiece to focus the screen.

Playing Golf

Select Play Golf.
The device locates satellites and calculates your location.
The nearest course is selected, and the hole closest to your current location is displayed automatically.
NOTE: You can select a course from the list if there is more than one course near your current location.

Measuring the Distance to the Pin

You can use the flag finder feature to target the flag and measure the distance from your current position to the pin. This feature helps get an accurate distance to the pin by filtering out other objects in the background.

1. Start playing a round of golf.

2. Align the rangefinder reticle with the flag.
   NOTE: For best results, you should hold the device steady, and align the reticle with the flag instead of the pin.

3. PressΘ.
   The measured range to the pin appears. A red arc appears on the map at the laser-ranged distance. If the device is able to target the flag, a flag icon appears, the distance arc is yellow, and the hole view map automatically transitions to a close-up of the green.
   TIP: You can return to the hole view by pointing the device away from the green and pressing Θ.

Hole View

The device shows the current hole you are playing, and automatically transitions when you move to a new hole.

1.| Displays distances to the beginning of the fairway, and the front and back of hazards.
---|---
2.| Displays the current hole number.
3.| Displays the par for the current hole.
4.| Displays distances to the front, center, and back of the green.
5.| Displays layup distances to the center of the green.
The colors indicate distance in meters or yards: red is 100, white is 150, blue is 200, and yellow is 250.
6.| Displays your driver’s distance when you are on the tee box.

   An icon appears next to each distance.| Distance plays longer than expected due to a change in elevation.
   ---|---
   | Distance plays as expected.
   | Distance plays shorter than expected due to a change in elevation.

Viewing the Direction to the Pin
The PinPointer feature is a compass that provides directional assistance when you are unable to see the green. This feature can help you line up a shot even if you are in the woods or in a deep sand trap.
NOTE: Do not use the PinPointer feature while in a golf cart. Interference from the golf cart can affect the accuracy of the compass.

Customizing Your Device

Settings
Select Settings.
Tournament Mode: Disables the PinPointer and PlaysLike distance features. These features are not allowed during sanctioned tournaments (Enabling Tournament Mode,
page 2).
Driver Distance: Sets the average distance the ball travels on your drive. This distance appears as an arc on the hole view screen when you are on the tee box.
Compass Calibration: This allows you to manually calibrate the compass sensor (Calibrating the Compass, page 3).
System: Sets system settings, such as the text language on the device, the units of measure, and time format (System Settings, page 3).
About: Displays device information, such as the unit ID, software version, regulatory information, and license agreement (Viewing E-label Regulatory and Compliance Information, page 3).

Calibrating the Compass

NOTE: You must calibrate the electronic compass outdoors. Do not stand near objects that influence magnetic fields, such as cars, buildings, or overhead power lines.
Your device was already calibrated at the factory, and the device uses automatic calibration by default. If the PinPointer feature is not working properly, for example, after moving long distances or after extreme temperature changes, you can manually calibrate the compass.

1. Select Settings > Compass Calibration.
2. Follow the on-screen instructions.

System Settings
Select Settings > System.
Language: Sets the text language on the device.
NOTE: Changing the text language does not change the language of user- entered data or map data.
Units: Sets the unit of measure for distance.
Time Format: Sets the device to show time in a 12-hour or 24hour format.
Restore Defaults: Resets all of the device settings to the factory default values (Restoring All Default Settings, page 4).

Device Information

1. Select Settings.
2. Select About.

Troubleshooting

Ranging Accuracy
External factors may affect ranging accuracies, such as ambient light, weather conditions, target reflectivity, and target size.

• The device can target longer ranges in lower light conditions, such as on overcast days. Bright sunlight minimizes ranging ability.
  ¹The device withstands incidental exposure to water of up to 1 m for up to 30 min. For more information, go to www.garmin.com/waterrating.

•  Rain minimizes ranging ability.

• The device can target longer ranges when measuring the distance to brightly colored, reflective, or shiny objects. Black objects are less reflective and can be targeted at shorter ranges.

• Larger objects are easier to target than smaller objects. For example, you should target the flag instead of the pin.

• The device can target longer ranges when the angle to the target is closer to 90 degrees. A smaller angle to the target limits ranging ability.

Acquiring Satellite Signals

The device may need a clear view of the sky to acquire satellite signals. The time and date are set automatically based on the GPS position.

1. Go outdoors to an open area.
   The top of the device should be oriented toward the sky.

2. Wait while the device locates satellites.
   It may take 30–60 seconds to locate satellite signals.

My device cannot find nearby golf courses

If a course update is interrupted or canceled before it completes, your device may be missing course data. To repair missing course data, you must update the courses again.
1 Download and install course updates from the Garmin Express™ application (Product Updates, page 4).
2 Safely disconnect your device (Disconnecting the USB Cable, page 4).
3 Go outside and start a test round of golf to verify the device finds nearby courses.
Disconnecting the USB Cable
If your device is connected to your computer as a removable drive or volume, you must safely disconnect your device from your computer to avoid data loss. If your device is connected to your Windows® computer as a portable device, it is not necessary to safely disconnect the device.

1. Complete an action:
   • For Windows computers, select the Safely Remove Hardware icon in the system tray, and select your device.
   • For Apple® computers, select the device, and select File >Eject.

2. Disconnect the cable from your computer.

Restoring All Default Settings

NOTE: This deletes all user-entered information.
You can reset all of the device settings to the factory default values. Select Settings > System > Restore Defaults.
