Helpful Hints
do turn the SkyCaddie on outside, away from buildings and other obstruc-
tions. The SkyCaddie needs to warm up approximately 5-0 minutes prior to play.
For optimal performance while playing, ensure that the SkyCaddie has a clear view
of the sky at all times. Avoid being around buildings, obstructions, heavy foliage,
low areas with adjacent obstructions, or reflective objects (such as metal/glass
structures) while using the SkyCaddie.
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
SkyCaddie 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 SkyCaddie’s battery is fully charged.
do noT use AC chargers or USB cables that did not come with or are not
authorized for use with your SkyCaddie.
do noT turn the SkyCaddie on and off during play. The SkyCaddie is a “smart
system” that continues to download data from satellites to adjust to your environ-
ment during play. Turning it on and off will interrupt satellite communication. If you
take a long break at the turn, you may turn the SkyCaddie off to conserve battery
power, but allow 5-0 minutes for it to return to optimal accuracy.
do noT make any sudden or jerking movements with the SkyCaddie.
do noT expose your SkyCaddie to extreme temperatures or water. Treat it
like you would your cell phone. Do not leave your SkyCaddie in a super-heated
