Keep it away from excessive moisture including rain, and avoid spilling anything on the sensor.

Cleaning

- Clean Sensor and feet regularly to remove dirt.

- Store and transport in its shipping packaging or a padded carry bag (optional accessory).

Storage & Transportation

Troubleshooting

SYMPTOM POSSIBLE CAUSE & REMEDY

Unit does not switch on

Low battery run time

Batteries run down

Make sure that the batteries are charged, or otherwise connect to a mains power source with the AC adapter.

Make sure leg is extended.

Rechargeable batteries lose capacity over time. If your batteries have become too poor to use, contact FlightScope® support for a new battery module or send your battery module in so that new cells can be inserted.

Make sure to charge batteries for 8-10 hours until full.

When stored for any length of time, batteries will lose charge due to self-discharge. If a unit has not been used for a number of days, it is recommended to charge or use AC power.

SYMPTOM POSSIBLE CAUSE & REMEDY

Does not display a shot

Cannot connect Wi-Fi to sensor

Ensure that the Wi-Fi connection between your smartphone or tablet and the sensor is set up and connected.

Check that the sensor is switched on and positioned correctly behind the tee from which the shot is played.

Check if the correct mode i.e indoor, outdoor, long indoor is selected.

Make sure that the sensor is switched on, and check that the communications indicator is ashing. This means the Wi-Fi is ready but not connected. Use the smartphone or computer’s Wi-Fi tools to connect to the FlightScope®. If the indicator is continuously on, the Wi-Fi is connected.
