Warning

The Global Positioning System (GPS) is operated by the United States
Government, which is solely responsible for its accuracy and
maintenance. The system is subject to regional and global changes over
which Golf Plus Ltd has no influence. Such regional and global changes
to the satellite system implemented by the US Government could
temporarily or permanently affect the accuracy and performance of all
GPS receiving equipment.

Golf Plus cannot and expressly does not guarantee the continuing
availability or accuracy of the satellite system operated by the US
Government. Although the Golf Plus GPS receiver is a precision
electronic satellite receiver any receiver can be misused or misinterpreted
and, therefore, become unreliable.

What is GPS?

The Global Positioning System (GPS) is a system of 24 satellites that
circle the earth in a precise orbit and transmit information to satellite
receivers. The Caddy Lite is a satellite receiver and must continuously
‘see’ at least four of these satellites to calculate your location and
provide distance measuring information on a golf course.

If some of the satellites in view get blocked or ‘shaded’, the receiver
can simply use an alternate satellite to maintain the location fix.
Because the Caddy Lite relies on satellite signals to provide you with
distance information, the receiver must have an unobstructed, clear
view of the sky for best performance. The GPS receiver’s view of the
sky generally determines how fast you get a location fix, or if you
get a fix at all. GPS signals do not travel through rocks, buildings,
people or metal, so remember to keep a clear view of the sky at all
times for best performance.

Your Caddy Lite needs to be given the opportunity to find satellites and
auto-locate itself (‘initialisation’).

Once you initialise the unit to a location it typically computes a view of
the available satellites within a couple of minutes. This process is
referred to as ‘downloading the Ephemeris’. The simple ability to see
satellites does not, in itself, provide enough information for the Caddy
Lite to satisfy the demands of the application for which it was designed.
In addition to the Ephemeris your Caddy Lite needs to download ‘The
Almanac’ when it is first switched on in a new area.

The Almanac consists of 25 pages of A4 information transmitted at the
rate of 50 kilobits per second. This process can take up to 12.5 minutes
to complete. Your Caddy Lite must download the Almanac completely
for it to work effectively in the application for which it was designed.
Once the Almanac has been received the word SATS will appear on the
display of your Caddy Lite. Until this state has been achieved your Caddy
Lite will not perform to the best of its capabilities.

Subject to your Caddy Lite having not moved more than 1000
kilometres, the effective Almanac will be stored and reused for a period
of up to 3 hours after it has been switched off.

Should the Caddy Lite be switched off and switched back on, within 3
hours you will not have to wait for the Almanac to be downloaded and
it will operate to its optimum capabilities as soon as the Ephemeris has
been received (up to 2 minutes), subject to the Caddy Lite having not
been moved more than 1000 kilometres. For a graphical presentation of
the ‘Lock On’ and ‘Warm Up’ period see the section ‘Power On’ on page
8 of this User Guide.

Caddy Lite User Guide - Version 1.0 2007

Hazards & Targets

A ‘waypoint’ is the GPS terminology used to identify targets on any
given golf hole. These might be targets to hit the front, centre & back of
the green or targets to avoid like bunkers, water or Fairway Run Outs
which a golf course designer put in to make the game even more
difficult – if it wasn’t hard enough already!

We at Golf Plus have taken the view that any waypoint/hazard within
15-20 yards away from where you are is ‘out of play’. As a consequence,
when you get within 15-20 yards of any pre-programmed hazard,
your Caddy Lite will change/skip to those hazards or targets which
are relevant.

At the Green

Similarly when you get within 15-20 yards of the green your Caddy Lite
will display At The Green and your result in this part of the game comes
down to ‘touch and feel’.

Comparing 2 GPS Receivers

If you and a playing partner happen to compare Caddy Lite’s and they
show slightly different yardages, the most common reason would be
that they are both looking at different satellites – simply move both to
face the same direction, walk at normal pace and they should re-align
quite quickly. Remember with an expected accuracy of +/- 2.5 yards this
could look like a 5 yard difference where the answer is actually in
between both results.

Mapping Methodology

To define and understand where
the exact front of the green has
been mapped, we always assume
that the green is being
approached from the centre of
the fairway and that the back of
the green is an extension of the
straight line between centre of
the fairway and the front of the
green.

The centre of the green is then
mapped as being equidistant
between these 3 points.

The exception is on Par 3 holes
where the centre is located
through the application of golfing
knowledge and observation.

Caddy Lite User Guide - Version 1.0 2007

Getting The Best Out
Of Your Caddy Lite

The reliability of the accuracy of any GPS
receiver is a constant variable. As a generalisation
your Caddy Lite should be accurate to within
+/- 2.5 yards.

At times it will be scarily accurate, at other
times, even at the exact same location, at
different times of the day or on different days
it will produce variable results, due to the
following potential circumstances.

Not locked-on: All GPS receivers require a

‘lock-on’ period immediately after being
switched on.

Not warmed up: All GPS receivers

require a period of up to 12.5 minutes of
continuous satellite reception to provide
optimum accuracy (see the POWER UP section
of this guide).

Signal Interruption:

• If you slice or hook into heavy undergrowth

with a solid covering of heavy or damp trees,
you may temporarily lose satellite reception.

• If your Caddy Lite is placed in the pocket of

the golf bag it may, due to the metal content
of your clubs, lose sight of the satellites.

• If your Caddy Lite is used inside a buggy or

fixed to the base of your bag it may be
adversely effected. Endeavour to locate your
Caddy Lite on the highest possible point
on your bag.

• Even the presence of humans can interrupt a
signal, if your Caddy Lite has a crowd of
people around it, signal strength and satellite
visibility may be reduced.

Insufficient Satellites: Similar to a

mobile phone, very infrequently, even with a
clear view of the sky, your Caddy Lite will not
be able to receive a sufficiently strong signal to
provide an accurate reading although this is
very unusual in open spaces.

Apparent Inaccuracies: There are a

number of circumstances where your Caddy
Lite may appear inaccurate, when it is actually
performing within expectations.

Dog legs: Your Caddy Lite will always

provide a straight line measurement to its pre­identified target (waypoint) and on the tee of a
dog leg hole or even a hole which is not dead
straight your Caddy Lite, when measuring to
the front of the green, will NOT agree with the
yardage information provided on the tee box
marker or the yardage book.

Uphill & Downhill: Your Caddy Lite will

always measure as if it was looking at a

completely flat surface and will appear to
contradict measurements which have been
measured over the ground’s surface.

Distance Markers: It is not unusual for

fairway yardage markers to be inaccurate. They
may have been moved or the original method in
which the markers were measured may have
been inaccurate. Certainly, this is true when
fairway distance markers are aligned in a
horizontal manner, i.e. if a central fairway
marker is measuring 150 yards and both the
side of the fairway posts are exactly horizontal,
then one or two of these distance
guides must be wrong.

Your Caddy Lite will
always measure in a
straight line to its target.

Thank you for purchasing your
personal Caddy Lite

Your Caddy Lite is a sophisticated GPS receiver which communicates
with satellites that are orbiting 11,000 miles above the earth at speeds
of up to 5000 miles an hour. Despite this sophisticated technological
wonder, your Caddy Lite has been designed to be simple to operate and
provide you with hands-free and interference free yardage information
on the Golf Course. Simply ‘Put Your Caddy Lite on the Bag’ and refer
to it when you need to. However, to obtain the best results from

your Caddy Lite please read this guide before use.

Before you tee off

...please visit www.caddy.co.uk to register
and download your chosen course maps.

In some instances your requested golf
course will have to be mapped – once
requested and dependant upon available
imagery, golf plus endeavour to complete a
map within 14 working days. Your Caddy
Lite needs golf course data to work – if
there is no course stored within the unit, it
will not be able to use the GPS data.

2 Charging your Caddy Lite

Your Caddy Lite is charged as part of the
manufacturing process and as a result should
be delivered to you with enough power to
complete at least 1 round of golf.

Your new Caddy Lite, with a new battery, will
provide 9 hours of use from one full charge.

Please fully charge your new Caddy
Lite for a minimum of 6 hours before

you use it for the first time.

As a power conservation feature your Caddy
Lite will auto shut off, if no buttons are
pressed in any period of 6 hours, unless the
Caddy Lite is ON charge, in which case it will
continue to inform you either that it is in the
charging process or that it is fully charged.

Battery Power

If your Caddy Lite detects that the power
availability is less than 2 bars, there is therefore
a risk that it will be unable to complete a full
round of golf, it will tell you by changing the
scroll icon in the bottom line of the display to
a virtually empty battery icon. During this
notification process the scroll button will
continue to function as it should.

When the power meter reduces to 1 bar
the same battery icon will start to flash as
a warning.

When the Caddy Lite detects that it has less
than 10 minutes of power it will communicate
a warning in the main screen area ‘VERY LOW
BATTERY’, for a period of 10 minutes before
the Caddy Lite auto shuts off. In the event of
auto shut off, an attempt to restart will
provide an on screen message that requests a
recharge and will instantly auto shut down
again. This cycle can be repeated 3 times

before your Caddy Lite will not respond to the
Power On button. Repeat charging, or
‘topping up’ your battery charge, does not
unduly damage or reduce the battery’s life
expectancy. Your Caddy Lite can, dependent
upon environmental characteristics, support up
to 500 charge cycles before it needs to be
returned to the manufacturer for a
replacement.

You are able to charge your Caddy Lite via the
USB connection lead. If you require a mains
charger please visit www.caddy.co.uk to
purchase this additional charging device.

Battery icon appears when
2 bars (1 game or less) of
charge remain

Caddy Lite User Guide - Version 1.0 2007

3 Power On

All satellite receivers require a period of up to

12.5 minutes of continuous satellite reception
to provide optimum accuracy. Initially, after
pressing the left hand Power On button for
more than 2 seconds your new Caddy Lite will
start to search for satellites. It is essential that
your Caddy Lite has an unobstructed, clear
view of the sky at all times. Satellite
transmission can not travel through rocks,
buildings, people or metal. Your Caddy Lite
needs to be given the opportunity to find the
available satellites (‘Lock On’). Once locked on
to a minimum of 4 satellites, if you are in the
region of a mapped golf course, it typically
computes a fix within a couple of minutes.
During this period of ‘Locking On’ your Caddy
Lite will display NoGo in the satellite reception
bar. Once it has ‘Locked On’ it will tell you
how many satellites the unit can see. However,
the satellite strength indicator will continue to
read zero.

Given the accuracy demands of calculating
distances, your Caddy Lite needs to ‘Warm
Up’. This warming up process involves the
downloading of detailed satellite location
information which includes atmospheric and
orbital path corrections. Your Caddy Lite will
not give you the best possible accuracy
readings until it has completed this

downloading process. Whilst your Caddy Lite
can operate and provide readings, if it has not
completed the ‘Warm Up’ process, it will give
you relatively poor results. During the process
of ‘Warm Up’ your Caddy Lite will display Poor
in the satellite reception bar.

When all the required data has been
successfully downloaded the satellite indicator
bar will tell you how many satellites it can see
in the range of 4 (minimum required) up to as
many as 16. The satellite signal strength
indicator provides you with a measurement of
the quality of the signal being received. The

higher the number the better the signal (in the
range of 4-9). The clear message SATS will be
displayed in the satellite indicator bar.

Ideally your Caddy Lite should be switched on
as soon as you arrive at the golf club and left
outside, clipped to your bag to ‘Warm Up’
while you practice, putt, or have a coffee. If
such luxuries are not available it is advisable, if
possible, to switch your Caddy Lite on while
travelling. Fixed on the dashboard of your car,
it will have a good view of available satellites
and should enable the warm up process to
take place.

4 The Practice Feature

Each Caddy Lite map consists of 18 holes PLUS,
as the 19th hole, a practice feature.

The practice feature can ONLY be used within 1
kilometre of a GPS mapped golf course, (a Caddy

Lite Map) or driving range, or another area
specifically mapped for the purpose of practice.

The principal objective of the practice feature is
to allow you to benchmark the distance you
hit each club in the bag.

Select a practice area, near the course, select
the practice feature from the menu of golf
holes and press ‘YES’ to the question ‘Start
Practice from here’.

Hit up to 20 balls with the same golf club, walk
up to each ball and at each of the 20 locations,
press REC, your Caddy Lite will record the
distance of each shot and provide you with an
average distance for that particular club.

You might be surprised and even disappointed
at the result, BUT it IS factual and you will
know absolutely which club to pick when your
Caddy Lite gives you the distance to the centre
of the green from each fairway while you are
competing out on the course.

Repeat this process for each club in the bag
and even half swings of the wedges, to record
your personal information.

5 Key Lock

It is possible to lock the buttons on your Caddy
Lite to avoid accidental key presses.

To activate the Key Lock press and hold down
the right soft button for 2 seconds.

Key Lock can ONLY be activated AFTER a hole
has been selected.

To unlock the Key
Lock and reactivate
the key pad press
and hold down the
right soft button for
2 seconds.

8 Recording your Distance

At any point on the course you can decide to measure the distance you
have hit the ball. Your Caddy Lite will record the distance, which course
you were playing and on which hole you achieved that ‘300 yard drive’.
Caddy Lite will store this information for you under Distances found in
the menu screen.

After you have hit the ball
simply press the right button
Dst. Your Caddy Lite will
automatically start recording
the distance and show the
information in the top info
panel, in place of the Front
measurement.

After pressing the right
button the Front
measurement will change to
Recording. As you walk
down the fairway the
distance will increment in
yards until you reach the
ball and press the right
button to record the
distance. No hazard/yardage
information will be
disrupted by measuring
distance.

9 Switching off your Caddy

Whenever you want to turn
the power off, continue
pressing the left Ret button
until you return to the
menu screen.
