DO NOT leave your Pocket PC in the Smartspeed case for prolonged periods of time, as
it will eventually become discharged and lose memory.

QUICK START GUIDE
Prior to assembling and using your SMARTSPEED system, you should ensure that all Reactive
Data Units, the Sportsweb Base Unit and the Pocket PC are completely charged. For charging

Tripods and Units
1. Remove the tripod from the bag. Adjust the height of the tripod using the
adjustable sections. To adjust a section twist the upper half of the black section
in a counter-clockwise direction, and adjust the height.
2. Once the tripod has been set at the desired height, twist the black section in a
clockwise direction to secure the height.
3. Once the tripod is free standing, remove a Reactive Data Unit from the case and
mount on the tripod using the quick release attachment. This attachment should
fasten easily – if not, do not attempt to force it into place.
4. Repeat this procedure for as many Reactive Data Units as needed.
5. Now place the same number of reflectors as Reactive Data Units onto tripods
using the quick release attachment. This attachment should fasten easily – if not,
do not attempt to force it into place.
6. Remove the “Sportsweb” Base Unit from the case and attach onto a tripod using
the quick release attachment. This attachment should fasten easily – if not, do
not attempt to force it into place.
7. Attach the Antenna to the top of “Sportsweb” Base Unit by rotating it until it is
secure.
