Installing the Batteries
We highly recommend you use high quality AA batteries (Duracell, Energizer) which will
give you up to 22 hours (4-5 rounds of golf) of battery life. Always remember to turn o
the unit after each use to achieve the maximum battery life. Do not keep the unit on while
indoors as this will drain the battery life.
To install the batteries,
1. Remove the battery cover by turning the D-ring at the back of the unit ¼ turn counter-
clockwise to the vertical position then lift o the battery back cover.
2. Insert the batteries into position observing proper polarity.
3. To attach the battery cover, push down and turn the D-ring ¼ turn clockwise.
