Count the club’s score lines to determine
the vertical center of the clubface.
Note: For clubs with an even number of score lines,
the vertical face center will be between the center
two score lines. For clubs with an odd number of
score lines, the vertical face center will be directly
on the center score line.
Carefully apply the first two markers
along the vertical center of the face near
the outer edge of the score lines,* keeping
both markers level with each other.
The center point between these two
markers will define the horizontal center
of the face.
Carefully apply the last two markers on
the toe of the club face at the top and
bottom edges of the ball strike zone.

PROPER BATTERY CARE
The battery in your GCQuad has been designed to provide
safe, reliable operation. However, the life of your GCQuad
battery and its ability to hold an adequate charge is
dependent upon a regular routine of fully discharging and
recharging the battery. Without regularly performing this
discharge/recharge routine, the GCQuad battery life
expectancy can be compromised signicantly.
INSERTING A NEW
BATTERY
1 With kickstand deployed,
properly align battery as shown
2 Gently slide battery into
device
3 Once inside, firmly press on
battery to lock into place
IMPORTANT! Your GCQuad battery should be fully discharged
and recharged at least once a month. This includes batteries
in storage, as well as batteries in GCQuad devices operating on
continuous AC power.
Failure to abide by this routine may cause the battery to lose its ability
to recharge or hold an adequate charge, and will require replacement
at the customer’s expense.

STORAGE AND
MAINTENANCE
Prior to storing the GCQuad, always make sure the
device is powered off and the battery is removed.
Foresight Sports strongly recommends storing the
GCQuad in a cool, dry environment in its original
foam-lined packaging or specially designed carrying
case to prevent damage.
HOW TO STORE THE GCQUAD
SAFETY
• If foreign objects or water has entered the device, disconnect the device
from external power, turn the power off, and remove the battery.
Continued use in this state can cause fire or electric shock.
• DO NOT disassemble, change, or attempt to repair the device. This
could result in electric shock and will void the manufacturer’s warranty.
• DO NOT use this device in environments where high humidity, smoke, or
dust is present.
• To avoid possible injury, DO NOT look directly into the device when it is
turned on.
• The GCQuad has been designed to withstand ball impact. However, if
the device enclosure or LCD display has been damaged due to a ball
impact or for any other reason, turn power off and discontinue use.
• Use only the power adapter that came with the device. Using any other
power adapter or charger may cause damage to the GCQuad or battery,
and may cause fire or injury.
• The GCQuad uses four digital cameras that are precisely calibrated. Do
not drop or subject the device to any impacts that may cause shock.
• After use, always store the GCQuad in a safe, dry, and dust-free
environment.
