Introduction
iGolf.com Registration
Within 45 days of purchase, go to iGolf.com to register your neo+, which will update the
preloaded GPS course data and load any new courses that have been recently added to
the iGolf database. Registration is free and will only take a few minutes.
If a unit that has not been registered is powered on 45 days or more after the rst GPS
x, it will not function and display a prompt to register online (which will restore it to
normal operation).
1. Using the provided cable, connect one end to the mini USB port on the front of
your neo+and attach the other end to a USB port on your computer. The display
will indicate “USB Mode”and your computer will recognize it as a standard USB
mass storage device (no driver is required).
2. Go to http://www.igolf.com, select ‘Join Now’, enter the requested information
and select the ‘Join Now’ button to continue. Create your iGolf.com prole and
select the ‘Save’ button. While on the My Prole page, select the ‘Sync Device’
button to register your neo+.
Once your neo+has been registered, you may have occasions in the future when you
want to update the GPS data for an existing course, or download a brand new course.
This can be done easily at anytime. First make sure your neo+is connected to the
computer, and that you are logged in to your iGolf.com account. Then, simply click the
‘Sync Device’ button-this will download all updated and new course data to your neo+.

Introduction
Battery Charging
This product contains an internal rechargeable lithium-ion battery. Under normal
operating conditions, a new battery will last 14 -16 hours on a full charge. However,
battery life may be reduced due to a variety of factors (external temperature, etc). All
rechargeable batteries lose their eective charge length over time.
The internal battery can be charged by connecting the included USB cable to the device
and a computer. Alternatively, the battery can be charged by connecting the USB cable
to the device and using the included adapter to plug the charger into a standard 110V
wall outlet. If the battery is new or has been totally drained, allow six to eight hours for
a full charge.
WARNING
• Do not attempt to access, disassemble or service the battery. Battery must be
replaced by qualied technician.
• Do not crush, puncture or short external contacts. Do not expose to temperatures
above 140oF (60oC).
• Properly recycle or dispose of battery. Do not dispose in re or water.
