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.

Troubleshooting

Ranging Accuracy

External factors may affect ranging accuracy, such as ambient
light, weather conditions, target reflectivity, and target size.
• The device can target longer ranges in lower light conditions,
such as on overcast days. Bright sunlight minimizes ranging
ability.
• Rain minimizes ranging ability.
• The device can target longer ranges when measuring the
distance to brightly colored, reflective, or shiny objects. Black
objects are less reflective, and can be targeted at shorter
ranges.
• Larger objects are easier to target than smaller objects. For
example, you should target the flag instead of the pin.
• The device can target longer ranges when the angle to the
target is closer to 90 degrees. A smaller angle to the target
limits ranging ability.

Acquiring Satellite Signals

The device may need a clear view of the sky to acquire satellite
signals. The time and date are set automatically based on the
GPS position.
1
Go outdoors to an open area.
The top of the device should be oriented toward the sky.
2
Wait while the device locates satellites.
It may take 30–60 seconds to locate satellite signals.

My device cannot find nearby golf courses

If a course update is interrupted or canceled before it completes,
your device may be missing course data. To repair missing
course data, you must update the courses again.
