About GPS
GPS stands for “Global Positioning System”. Launched by
the United States Department of Defense, GPS consists of
a constellation of 32 satellites orbiting the earth at nearly
11,000 miles. These satellites are traveling at a speed
that allows them to circle the earth twice each day while
emitting a very low power signal. The signals are timed by
clocks that are highly accurate and are received by one of
5 ground stations. These ground stations use the precisely
timed signal to determine each satellite’s exact position in
orbit. Your GPS receiver can “hear” the signal sent by the
satellite. By calculating the position and distance of at least
4 satellites, accurate latitude, longitude and altitude location
information can be determined. WAAS adds to your GPS’s
accuracy. WAAS stands for Wide Area Augmentation System.
WAAS was designed by the United States Federal Aviation
Administration, primarily to add in the accuracy of GPS for
planes. WAAS consists of the group of additional ground
stations placed at known and precisely located spots. These
ground stations then work with a master station to correct
the satellite signals improving accuracy to within nearly 3
meters.

What’s Included in the Package:
• Yardage Pro GPS with internal rechargeable Li-Ion battery
• AC Charger
• USB Cable
• Soft Carrying Pouch
• Quick Start Guide
Charging the Battery:
Connect the supplied USB cable to the port under the rubber
cover on the bottom end of the YP GPS (see next page). Connect
the other end of the USB cable to the supplied AC Charger unit,
and plug it into a standard AC wall outlet. The battery condition
icon on the YP GPS display will indicate when the battery is fully
charged (steady, “full battery” symbol). Charging typically takes
4-5 hours when the battery power is fully depleted. The YP
GPS normally will operate for about 2-3 rounds of golf after the
battery has been fully charged, but this may vary depending on
use and environment. The battery may be charged after a single
day or round of use- it does not need to be fully depleted before
connecting the charger, and will not overcharge if left connected
overnight. For faster, better charging, make sure to turn off the
YP GPS power before connecting the charger. After charging is
complete, disconnect and store the AC charger and USB cable
for later use, and replace the rubber USB port cover.
During use, the Yardage Pro GPS unit will automatically turn
off after 30 minutes of inactivity in order to conserve battery
power. When power is turned back on, the unit will return to the
last active screen it was on.
