Setup

- To Power Off: Press and hold the 'MODE' button until the power-off confirmation appears, then confirm.
3. GPS Acquisition
Once powered on, the device will automatically attempt to acquire a GPS signal. For best results, ensure you are outdoors with a clear view of the sky. This process may take a few moments. Upon successful acquisition, the device will display available golf courses in your vicinity.
4. Course Selection

Operating Instructions

- Distances to various hazards (e.g., bunkers, water).
- Battery level indicator.
2. Navigating Holes
The device automatically advances to the next hole as you move. If manual adjustment is needed, use the 'UP' and 'DOWN' buttons to change holes.
3. Shot Distance Measurement
To measure the distance of your shot:
- At your starting position, press the 'OK/MARK' button to mark the spot.
- Walk to where your ball landed. The display will show the distance from your marked starting point.
- Press 'OK/MARK' again to clear the measurement and mark a new starting point for the next shot.

To switch to Watch Mode, press the 'MODE' button. In Watch Mode, the device functions as a standard digital watch, conserving battery life. To return to Golf Mode, press 'MODE' again.
Maintenance
1. Cleaning
Wipe the device regularly with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials, as these can damage the screen and casing. Ensure the charging port is clean and dry before connecting the charger.
2. Battery Care
The Shot Navi W1-GL uses a Lithium Ion battery. To prolong battery life:
- Avoid extreme temperatures.
- Do not fully discharge the battery frequently.
- Store the device with a partial charge (around 50%) if not used for extended periods.
3. Storage
Store the device in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture when not in use.
Troubleshooting
1. Device Not Powering On
Ensure the device is fully charged. If the issue persists, try connecting it to a different USB power source or charging cable.
2. GPS Signal Not Acquired
Ensure you are outdoors with a clear view of the sky, away from tall buildings or dense foliage that might obstruct the signal. Wait a few minutes for the device to acquire satellites. If the problem continues, try restarting the device.
3. Incorrect Distances Displayed
Verify that the correct golf course has been selected. Ensure the device has a strong GPS signal. Course data updates are automatically managed by Shot Navi, but if you suspect an issue with a specific course, check the manufacturer's website for any known issues or updates.
4. Short Battery Life
Ensure the device is fully charged before use. Using GPS mode continuously will consume battery faster than Watch Mode. Reduce screen brightness if possible. If battery life significantly degrades, contact support.
