APPENDIX A
HELPFUL HINTS
•
Never disconnect or turn off your SkyCaddie TOUCH while it is
syncing, either via a USB cable connection to your computer or
via a Bluetooth
®
wireless technology connection to your smart
device. Wait until it is finished communicating before you
disconnect it, power it off, or power off your computer.
•
Turn on your SkyCaddie TOUCH outdoors, with a clear view of
the sky, to receive satellite signals. Give it an initial five minutes to
warm-up before play.
•
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 TOUCH.
•
The higher the strength on the GPS Signal Indicator, the higher
the accuracy. The best signal strength is obtained in open areas,
with the antenna pointing toward the sky at a 45° to 90° angle.
Holding the TOUCH 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.
•
To maintain optimal accuracy during play, ensure that your
SkyCaddie TOUCH is always on, that it is in an upright position
and that it has a clear view of the sky. Do not put the SkyCaddie
TOUCH in your pocket.
•
Do not turn the TOUCH on and off during play. The TOUCH 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 your SkyCaddie off to
conserve battery power. When you turn it back on, remember to
allow 5-10 minutes for it to return to optimal GPS accuracy. In the
Main Menu, press “Resume” to continue your round.
•
Fully charge the battery before each round.
