FX-Sport VRX Instruction manual

SUPER QUICK User Guide for VRX and VC GOLF
1. When you attach the headphones, do not perform any “scans” or
“cleaning the disk” if you receive a pop up asking this. It may damage
some of the files on the headphones.
2. To transfer music onto the headphones, download the Windows or MAC
“FX software” from the “Software” tab on the website. Once
downloaded, it will be in your “Downloads”. There are video tutorials
on that page, showing how to transfer your music. Don’t worry - It’s very
simple!
3. Some PCs may need you to temporarily turn off your firewall to install the
FX software if the settings are very high. This is rare though.
4. Once the FX-Software is installed, go to the “Music” tab. Drag and drop
your music over from the “PC” section of the software on the left, to the
“Headphones” section on the right.
a) Only drag across the folder containing the tracks. Do not drag across
folders containing subfolders.
b) When moving across individual tracks, right click in the “Headphones”
section, create a new folder and drop the tracks into that.
For I-Tunes, drag tracks [not playlists] into a newly created folder in the
“Headphones” section. Do this either directly from I-Tunes or from the
PC section of the software, usually found in “Music>I-Tunes”.
MAC users –don’t rename the folder once in the “Headphones” section
Windows users CAN rename the folder once in the
“Headphones” section.
Buttons and navigating music.
To Turn On
Press and hold the centre button until the music [or the first audio] plays. This
may be 2-5 seconds depending on how many tracks are on the unit. The
buttons only require a light press.

Note: The VC GOLF model may switch on to it’s “Off The Course” audio,
rather than the sample track.
To Turn off
Press and hold the centre button for at least 3 seconds. The red light shows
for a few seconds and then goes off. The unit is then off.
To Track change –While music/audio is playing, single press the +or –
buttons.
To Volume change –Press and hold the +or –buttons.
To Change playlists
Whilst playing music, single press the centre button. This will
pause the music. Now a single press of the +button moves
forwards a playlist. A single press of the -button moves
backwards a playlist.
Once you arrive at the playlist you want, press the centre button again,
to play from that playlist. Track change is now as before with the + and
–buttons.
Note: Better to have more playlists each containing fewer tracks for
ease of navigation, rather than a few playlists each containing lots of
tracks.
Fast forward within a track –Press and hold “FF”button.
Rewind within a track –Press and hold “REW”button.
Shuffle mode –Single press the “SH”button. To turn Shuffle off, single press
again.
How to browse and assess the golf practice
drills and workouts:
1. Open the “Preloaded Workouts” folder or the “Preloaded Golf
Content”folder.
2. Open a workout/practice drill folder of interest. You may need to hover
the cursor over the folder name to fully read it. There will be subfolders for
that category.

3. Open that subfolder and click on the audio files inside, to hear the
messages and assess the workout or practice drill. The first few messages may
actually play continuously when you hear them on the headphones. Do not
change or delete any files.
How to make your chosen workout or practice
drill “LIVE”:
1. Once you have chosen a workout/practice drill, copy the bottom level folder,
that is the folder that contains those audio files, and paste it to the “Workouts”
folder. You will see the “Workouts” folder when you first open the FX-SPORT
hard drive.
So for example, do not copy the “Tabata” folder, copy the folders within the
Tabata folder…do not copy “David MacKenzie Practice Drills”, copy the
folders within “David MacKenzie Practice Drills” [Eg. 20 Min Putting Clock
Drill]. Remember, you are copying your chosen folder to the “Workouts”
folder. You can do this with multiple workout or practice drill folders.
2. Any workouts/practice drills in the “Workouts” folder, are now “LIVE”.
That is to say, they are now “recognized” by the headphones.
Operating the headphones with the
workouts/practice drills:
1. Disconnect the headphones from the PC and wait for the red light to go
out.
2. Press and hold the “Play” button until the music starts to play. The green
light will come on momentarily.
3. Once the music is playing, single press the “RM” button. You will hear
the name of a workout.
4. Press the +or - button to scroll through the workouts/practice drills.
When you hear the workout/practice drill you want, single press the “RM”
button again. You will then hear “Ready Go” and the workout/practice drill is
now activated. You will be returned to your music and the first message will
play seconds later.
NOTE:
Whilst choosing a workout/practice drill, sometimes it may take several
seconds to voice the workout/practice drill name. Do not wait too long after the

workout/practice drill name has been voiced, or you will be returned to your
music. In that case, press the RM button again to hear the workout names
again.
You can pause a workout/practice drill by single pressing the center button to
pause. You will hear “Workout paused”. Single press again to hear
“Workout resume”.
To reset a workout/practice drill, press and hold the center button to switch the
unit off, then turn it back on again.
Note 2:
The “Off the Course” golf audio is already in the “Music” folder. If
you open the “Music” folder you will see it. This audio will play
automatically with no need to transfer any files anywhere.
