Other X3R Information & Tips
•
The hand controller transmits a 'stay awake' signal
to the X3R every few seconds. If the caddy is out of
range and does not receive a stay awake signal
within ten seconds it will stop until it receives a valid
signal from the handset. This means that your X3R
should never run too far away from you. However,
you should never let the X3R out of your sight when playing.
•
When taking a shot or negotiating a tight path, the handset can be clipped to the cradle
(which can be attached to either side of the handle). You can then steer the X3R
manually, while controlling its speed with your thumb. The clip on the back of the
handset can also be used to attach the handset to a belt or pocket.
•
The X3R handset is splash resistant but never allow it to be submerged in water (i.e.
dropped in a puddle).
•
Do not store the handset in your pocket. Loose change, for example, may engage one
of the buttons and set the X3R in motion. Instead use the belt clip on the handset to
attach the handset to a belt or pocket.
•
When you are not using the X3R (for example, if you are in the pro shop or having
lunch), either disconnect the battery or use the safety switch (located on the rear
cover). This removes the possibility of accidentally engaging the motors.
•
When the power has been disconnected and the X3R is not in use, we strongly
recommend that
the handset be stored in your golf bag
. This will ensure that it is not
damaged, and also that you will not forget to take it to the course!
•
When
reversing
the X3R, it is necessary to stop it before commanding it to move
forwards. Reverse has only one preset speed.
•
If you are going to walk any distance away from the X3R (for example when putting or
looking for a lost ball), take the handset with you. The handset is lightweight and can be
easily clipped to a belt or pocket. You can then make the X3R drive to you.
•
If you are a right-handed player, park the X3R to the right of the ball so that it does not
interfere with your shot.
