Welcome
Welcome to the Sonocaddie guide. This guide has been designed to provide you with
everything you need to know about operating your Sonocaddie. Please read the user
guide thoroughly in order to understand the features of the Sonocaddie.
Note that there are multiple ways to navigate and use the various Sonocaddie
functions. Sonocaddie is very intuitive to use, so feel free to use whichever way you
find to be the easiest.
Warnings
Please read the guidelines below, since failure to do so may result in misuse of the
equipment and may be dangerous or illegal.
The Global Positioning System (GPS) is operated by the government of the
United States, which is solely responsible for its accuracy and maintenance. The
system is subject to changes which could affect the accuracy and performance of
all GPS equipment.
zOperating
¾Sonocaddie may take at least 10~15 minutes to receive satellite
signals the first time you turn it on. It may take longer to receive
signals if it has been off for 4 or more hours, or if you traveled more
than 100 miles away from the last location where you used your
Sonocaddie.
¾Sonocaddie performs best under clear sky. Furthermore, 6 satellite
signals should be sought, so it might be necessary to wait for these to
be registered.
¾Should you experience any problems with your Sonocaddie (e.g.
malfunction/damage) please contact Sonocaddie Customer Service at
www.Sonocaddie.com. Do not attempt any repairs on your own as this
may void the warranty.
¾The USB cable provided is solely for the use of Sonocaddie devices (see
the accessory list). Do not connect any other cable for data transfer as this
could damage the data port (I/O port).
¾A full battery charge may take 4 hours. We recommend not charging over
8 hours.
Cautions
zGolf course
¾Sonocaddie should not be used while driving any vehicle including golf
carts. Always place Sonocaddie in a secure place to avoid any impact
which could cause damage to it.
zGPS reception
¾Sonocaddie has a built-in GPS antenna. This antenna should face upward
to gain the best signals and should not be covered with anything as this
may affect the quality of reception. GPS reception might be affected by
the following environmental factors such as rain, dense clouds, fog,
solar flares, high voltage electricity, cellular phone towers, etc.
¾Coverage/reception levels may be adversely affected by forests and/or
buildings. Optimal usage will be gained in wide open areas.
