the aiming GPS+

Manual

(TAGPSB) Introduction Care & Maintenance Thank you for purchasing the aiming GPS+. Please review this manual for best usage of the device. Distance and Direction are very important when playing golf. the aiming GPS+ will guide you to set your alignment towards the desired direction as well as provide the distance data you need to fire away with co nfidence. the aiming GPS+ consists of a main unit and a wristband, which could be used optionally as a remote controller. You may use the main unit only (without the wristband). However, using both the main unit and the wristband is recommended for better usage of the device.

(Note: Cannot use the wristband solely.) the aiming GPS+ features a long-running lithium-ion battery to carry yo u through long rounds or those extra holes. You can easily get in a whole weekend of golf with up to 10 hours in full GPS mode before the battery n eeds to be recharged.

(Note: The battery could run out faster under unfavorable satellite signal receiving condition.) To prevent corrosion, thoroughly clean and dry the contacts and the surrounding area before charging or connecting to a computer. You may clean the device occasionally with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid exposing the device to extreme environmental conditions for prolonged periods of time. Avoid severe impacts on the device. DO NOT expose the device to strong chemicals such as alcohol, gasoline, etc. as they will damage the device. Store the device in a dry place when not in use.

***Alignment Mode Do not move your waist (when pressing the alignment button) until you hear ready. (2~3 seconds of vibration when in vibration mode.) By aligning your waist correctly towards the target, it would become easier to align your feet and shoulder towards the same direction as your waist. This device is a perfect tool to align your feet, waist, and shoulder parallel towards your wanted direction.

***GPS Mode The device automatically acquires satellite signals once the main unit is turned on. (May take 10~50 seconds.) To maintain good satellite signal, do not have the main unit close to a metal object.
