4. Setup
4.1. Charging the Device
The device is powered by a built-in lithium polymer battery. Before first use, or when the battery is low, charge the device using the provided USB cable and a compatible power adapter (not included).
- Connect the USB cable to the charging port on the device.
- Connect the other end of the USB cable to a USB power source.
- A full charge takes approximately 2 hours. A fully charged battery allows for approximately 50,000 point measurements.
4.2. Initial Power On
Press and hold the power button until the display illuminates. The device will perform a brief self-check before entering measurement mode.
5. Operating Instructions
5.1. Power On/Off
- To Power On: Press and hold the power button.
- To Power Off: Press and hold the power button again until the display turns off. The device will also automatically power off after a period of inactivity to conserve battery.
5.2. Measurement Modes
The device offers three measurement methods: Point, Pin Seek, and Scan, accessible via voice command or button operation.
Image 5.1: Voice operation for Point, Pin Seek, and Scan measurements.
- Point Measurement: Aim at a specific target and say "Point" or "Measure point." The device will measure the distance to that single point.
- Pin Seek Measurement: Aim at the flagstick and say "Pin Seek" or "Measure pin." The device will prioritize the closest target, making it easier to lock onto the flagstick.
- Scan Measurement: Say "Scan" or "Start scan." Pan the device across multiple targets to get continuous distance readings. This is useful for understanding distances to various hazards or features.
- Button Operation: Traditional button press measurement is also available for all modes.
5.3. Red OLED Display Brightness Adjustment
The red OLED display offers excellent visibility. You can adjust its brightness to suit ambient light conditions.
- Double-press the mode switch button to cycle through 4 levels of display brightness.
