SET-UP INSTRUCTIONS

1. Carefully aim the radar beam directly toward the ball release point. The ball must go directly toward the radar.
2. Release the ball at least 15-20 feet (4-6 meters or 6 bat lengths) from the net. This allows the ball to be in flight long enough for the radar to find the ball moving in a straight line.
3. Have the radar placed low and behind the net, aimed very carefully. In our example, we are only using the universal mount, we are not using a tripod.

IMPORTANT TIPS

1. Radar guns focus radio waves down into a narrow beam, like a flashlight beam. Aim carefully down the beam to get good readings.
2. Check for interference by holding down the radar main button and scanning the area when there are no balls in flight.
3. Keep the radar behind the screen to prevent damage.

CAUSES OF INACCURATE READINGS

1. The radar is too close and not held high enough to get the ball out of the bowler’s hand.
2. The misalignment of the radar is causing the ball to arrive in the radar beam after it has left the bowler’s hand and slowed down significantly in speed.
3. The ball is not in flight long enough for the radar to find the ball moving in a straight line.
4. The body of the bowler can block the view of the ball from the radar.

IMPORTANT TIPS

1. The radar needs to track the ball in flight long enough to locate the ball prior to it hitting the ground.
2. Check for interference by holding down the radar main button and scanning the area when there are no balls in flight.
3. Ensure your set-up is safe to prevent property damage or injury.
