Customizing Your Device Settings Select Settings . Tournament Mode: Disables the PinPointer and PlaysLike distance features. These features are not allowed during sanctioned tournaments. Driver Distance: Sets the average distance the ball travels on your drive. This distance appears as an arc on the hole view screen when you are on the tee box. Compass Calibration: Allows you to manually calibrate the compass sensor ( Calibrating the Compass, page 3) . System: Sets system settings, such as the text language on the device and the units of measure ( System Settings, page 3). About: Displays device information, such as the unit ID, software version, regulatory information, and license agreement (Viewing E-label Regulatory and Compliance Information, page 3). Calibrating the Compass NOTE: You must calibrate the electronic compass outdoors. Do not stand near objects that influence magnetic fields, such as cars, buildings, or overhead power lines. Your device was already calibrated at the factory, and the device uses automatic calibration by default. If the PinPointer feature is not working properly, for example, after moving long distances or after extreme temperature changes, you can manually calibrate the compass. 1 Select Settings > Compass Calibration. 2 Follow the on-screen instructions. System Settings Select Settings > System. Language: Sets the text language on the device. NOTE: Changing the text language does not change the language of user-entered data or map data. Units: Sets the unit of measure for distance. Restore Defaults : Resets all of the device settings to the factory default values (Restoring All Default Settings, page 4). Device Information Device Care NOTICE Do not store the device where prolonged exposure to extreme temperatures can occur, because it can cause permanent damage. Avoid chemical cleaners, solvents, and insect repellents that can damage plastic components and finishes. Secure the weather cap tightly to prevent damage to the USB port. Cleaning the Device NOTICE Do not use a dry cloth to clean the lens. Use of a dry cloth may damage the lens. Avoid chemical cleaners and solvents that can damage plastic components. 1 Wipe the outer casing and lens with a soft, non-scratch cloth dampened with water or alcohol. 2 Wipe the outer casing dry, and allow the lens to air dry. Long-Term Storage When you do not plan to use the device for several months, you should charge the battery to at least 50% before you store the device. You should store the device in a cool, dry place with temperatures around the typical household level. After storage, you should fully recharge the device before using it.
