Helpful Hints
• DO turn the SGX
W
on outside, away from buildings and other obstructions.
The SGX
W
needs to warm
up approximately 5-10 minutes prior to play. For optimal performance while playing, ensure that the
SGX
W
has a clear view of the sky at all times. While the omni-directional, high-performance GPS
antenna has been designed to lock quickly to more satellites and stay locked to maintain performance
in all terrains, it is still a good idea to avoid being around buildings, obstructions, heavy foliage, low
areas with adjacent obstructions, or reflective objects (such as metal/glass structures) while using
the SGX
W
.
• DO sync your SGX
W
regularly.
Syncing regularly allows the SGX
W
to keep running at peak performance.
Syncing allows you to check alerts for new features and software updates; automatically upload your
latest scorecard to ClubSG; and download new courses and change your Favorites list.
• DO perform a Soft Reset if the SGX
W
appears to be unresponsive.
To perform a soft reset on the SGX
W
,
press and hold the Mark button and the Power button until the SGX
W
shuts off.
• DO watch your signal strength indicator.
The higher the signal strength, the more accurate the system
will be. The best signal strength is obtained in open areas, with the antenna pointing toward the sky at
a 45° to 90° angle. Holding the SGX
W
away from your body may improve signal strength in weak areas.
It is normal for the satellite signal strength indicator to fluctuate as you move around the golf course.
• DO make sure
that the SGX
W
’s battery is fully-charged before play.
• DO NOT press the Trackpad when you want to move the on-screen cursor or crosshairs.
The Trackpad
on the SGX
W
is multi-directional and sensitive to the slightest finger movements. Gently sliding your
finger across the Trackpad up, down, right left, etc. will move the on-screen cursor or crosshairs. You
do not need to press down on the Trackpad to move it.
• DO NOT use
AC chargers or USB cables that did not come with or are not authorized for use with
your SGX
W
. The wrong adapters or cables may damage the SGX
W
.
• DO NOT turn the SGX
W
on and off during play.
The SGX
W
is a “smart system” that continues to
download data from satellites to adjust to your environment during play. It is designed to stay on
continuously during a round of golf. Turning it on and off will interrupt satellite communication and
slow down play. If you take a long break at the turn, you may turn the SkyCaddie off to conserve
battery power, but allow 5-10 minutes for it to return to optimal accuracy.
• DO NOT make
any sudden or jerking movements with the SGX
W
.
• DO NOT expose your SGX
W
to extreme temperatures.
Treat it like you would your cell phone. Do not
leave your SGX
W
in a super-heated vehicle when not in use.
• DO NOT drop the SGX
W
in water or leave exposed in a hard rain.
The SGX
W
is water-resistant but
NOT waterproof!
