A ball in flight slows down very rapidly due 
to air resistance. The radar beam must be 
aimed carefully to get the top speed.

Check for interference by holding down 
the radar main button and scanning the 
area when there are no balls in flight. 

Keep the radar behind the screen to 
prevent damage.

Minimum 15 to 20 feet from Release

Minimum 15 to 20 feet from Release

Carefully aim the radar beam directly 
toward the ball release point. Tilt it 
according to the flight of the ball.

Release the ball at least 15-20 feet from 
the net (6 bat lengths), this allows the ball 
to be in flight long enough for the radar to 
find the ball moving in a straight line.

Have the radar at least 15-20 feet behind 
the net. This allows the spot size of the 
radar beam to spread out.
