Setup Guide

Proper placement of the SC300i is crucial for accurate readings. Follow these guidelines for optimal performance:

3. Outdoor Use: For outdoor practice, simply place the SC300i unit 5 feet directly behind the golf ball.
4. Orientation: Ensure the front of the SC300i unit (where the radar sensor is located) is facing directly towards the target area.
5. Remote Control: The included remote control allows for convenient adjustment of settings without needing to bend over.
