Setting up your Shot Scope H4

Download and install the mobile app

Shot Scope provides both an Android and iOS app, these can be downloaded onto any compatible mobile or tablet.
To download or install the Shot Scope app, simply search for Shot Scope on either the App Store or the Google Play Store.

Register
To register an account, open the app and then click on the 'Register' button. Complete all sections and then press the 'Continue' button. Your password must contain at least one letter and one number

Complete the tutorial on the app

The first time you enter the Shot Scope app after registering, you will be taken through a tutorial showing you how to use the handheld and the app. During this process, you will turn on your H4 and pair the device with the app. You will choose the settings for your device and sync the handheld to ensure it has the latest firmware installed. You must complete this process before using the H4.

Connecting to Shot Scope

If you need to connect the handheld to the mobile app, turn Bluetooth on in your phone settings, log into your app and then press the 'Connect' button at the top of the screen. The handheld screen will then change to show the connection has been made successfully.

Check course maps

We suggest that you check the mapping status of any courses you intend to play 48 hours before your tee off time. This is to make sure the course is in the system and has been mapped.
Most courses will be mapped and on the handheld, but there could be the occasional new course that isn't on the system or your course may have an update pending.
To view the list of mapped courses on the Shot Scope system, navigate to the 'Courses' section in the app. This is present on the tab bar of the iOS app and the main menu of the Android app.

Searching for, subscribing and adding a course

You can search our course database by entering the name of the course or using your location to find nearby courses. Either use the search bar or use the filter at the top right of screen to filter courses by proximity to your current location.
To make sure you always have the most up to date course maps, subscribe to any course that you play a lot to get notifications when the course map has been updated. To subscribe, tap on the course and it will be highlighted blue to confirm this action. If any of the courses you selected are due an update then they will be automatically added to the sync list.
If your course is mapped but not yet on the handheld, the course will have an 'add' button beside it, tap this and the course will be automatically added to your sync list.
We may have your course in the database but it has not yet been mapped. In this situation the course will have a 'request' button beside it, tap this to request the course be mapped. This will notify the mapping team who will endeavour to get the course mapped in 48 hours.
If you can't find the name of the course, press the 'Request' button at the bottom of the screen. This will bring up a form that can be filled out and sent to our mapping team. Again, we will aim for this to be mapped in 48 hours.

Syncing

If you have any course maps that need to be uploaded to the device, or any updates that need to be transferred to the handheld you will see a red notification at the top of the Courses screen. If you wish to perform a sync then tap on the 'Ready to Sync' button at the top of the screen.
On the resulting screen, you will see the list of courses that require a sync. Press the 'Sync All' button near the top of the screen to start the process.

The Shot Scope App and Dashboard

Before you play for the first time

Charging your Shot Scope H4

Your Shot Scope can be charged from any USB port or USB compliant wall charger. Please use the charger provided with the product.
Hold the charger with the Shot Scope logo facing the sky, then apply some pressure to the lever and carefully place the 4 prongs into the back of the device. The handheld screen will change to show the charging screen.
Additional chargers can be purchased at www.shotscope.com/products/accessories/

Installing tags

Your Shot Scope comes with 16 tags, each labelled with an initial to identify the club. It is best practice to match the appropriate tags with the corresponding club. For example, the D tag would screw into your driver.
Tags must be inserted securely into the grip of the club you wish to track. Do this by rotating the tag clockwise whilst applying a slight downward force.
There are 2 'spare' tags marked X1 and X2, these should be used for clubs such as a 7 wood or an extra driver.
Only the P tag can be used with a putter.
Existing Shot Scope User: The tags from your previous Shot Scope product will work with the handheld, however we recommend swapping the old tags for the new ones provided.

Setting up My Bag

My Bag is a feature on the Shot Scope dashboard and apps which allows you to create a database of all of the clubs you use and track their performance.
To access My Bag on mobile it can be found in the 'more' section of the app on iOS and in the drop down menu on Android.
To compliment the Shot Scope app we also a have an online web dashboard https://dashboard.shotscope.com. This webpage has more detailed performance statistics and is easier to assign your clubs to My Bag. You can log into this dashboard using the same email and password as your mobile app. The My Bag feature can be found in the 'Account' tab at the top right corner of the dashboard.
Once you have screwed your tags into their respective clubs, you should then enter the My Bag feature on either the mobile app or the online dashboard and create your set of clubs, then assign these clubs to the tag slots so that it matches your physical tag set up.
Please visit the support site for detailed instructions on how the My Bag feature works: support.shotscope.com

At the course

Getting ready to play

The H4 can be used several ways, for example putting the handheld in your pocket, attaching to your belt, clipping to a golf bag or securing to a golf cart. For performance tracking we recommend you place the H4 in your pocket or use the belt clip provided.

To start a round, firstly switch on the device by pressing the top left button, then unlock the handheld by pressing the bottom left button. Once the handheld is unlocked, press the top right button next to the 'tick'. This will confirm the selection of 'Play'.
We suggest that you start a round just prior to arriving at the first tee. A GPS fix which should take around 30 seconds, the first time you play this may take a bit longer.

How to use H4

The Shot Scope H4 shows front, middle and back distances, hazards and lay up distances.
H4 has shot tracking and performance statistics included. To track your game simply tap the Shot Scope tag on the end of your club against the device to record a shot. Tagging works best when tapped against the Shot Scope logo. Once your tag has been detected the club will show on the screen.
We recommend tagging before you take a shot as part of your pre shot routine.
The device will vibrate to confirm the club has been detected.

Mode and course selection

The game modes are interchangeable and allow you to get the most out of your H4 by offering flexibility between events. After you have selected to start a new round you will be asked to confirm what mode you wish to play the round in. You can choose between: GPS only, Track only and GPS + Track.
After you have selected a game mode your handheld will then search for a GPS fix which should take around 30 seconds, the first time you play this may take a bit longer. The handheld will then show a list of available courses, use the bottom left and right buttons to find the correct course and then press the top right button to confirm your selection.
GPS + Track:
Combines both GPS distances and shot tracking so you can analyse your game post-round.

GPS only:
Provides F/M/B, lay up and hazard distances on the screen of your H4 throughout your round. This mode does not gather any shot tracking data.

Track only:
Gathers shot tracking data for retrospective game analysis. This mode does not provide any on-course information and no GPS distances will be displayed on your handheld whilst you play.

During Play

Tag ID
The tag ID gives the golfer visual feedback during the round and shows the last club tag the handheld has detected on the screen. This gives the golfer confidence that their shot has been detected.
The tag ID feature can be turned off in settings if you do not wish to use it.

The buttons will lock after 15 seconds of inactivity. To unlock, press the bottom left button.

PinCollect
PinCollect is a simple feature that allows you to get the most out of your statistics by collecting the position of the pin. When you reach a green, your device will automatically change to the PinCollect screen. This screen shows the numbers 1-3, which represent the number of putts taken on the hole. On the following screen a 0 or 4 putt can be recorded. Once you have holed out, stand over the hole and press the button next to the number which correlates with the amount of putts taken. This will save the pin location for that hole.

What if I forget to PinCollect?
Although the device will remind you to do so on every green, forgetting is still easily done! If you do forget, you can add the pin position in editing and move your putts as required. There will be more on the editing feature later.

How to record a penalty on course?
