Setting up your Shot Scope G3
Step 1: Download and install the mobile app
Shot Scope provides both an Android and iOS app, which 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.
[Image: Icons for Apple App Store and Google Play Store indicating where to download the app.]
Register
To register an account, open the app and click on the 'Register' button. Complete all sections and then press the 'Continue' button. Your password must be at least 6 characters long and include at least one number.
[Image: Screenshot of the Shot Scope app's registration screen, featuring fields for email address and password, and a 'Sign In' button.]
Step 2: Complete the tutorial on the app
The first time you enter the Shot Scope app after registering, you will be guided through a tutorial demonstrating how to use the watch and the app. During this process, you will choose settings for your watch and sync it to ensure it has the latest firmware installed. This process must be completed before using the watch.
Step 3: Connecting to Shot Scope
If you have just completed the tutorial, you won't need to connect the watch again. If you do need to connect the watch 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 watch screen will then change to show the connection has been made successfully.

Step 4: 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 ensure the course is in the system and has been mapped. Most courses will be mapped and available on the watch, but there could be occasional new courses not yet 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.

Step 5: 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. Use the search bar or the filter at the top right of the screen to filter courses by proximity to your current location.
To ensure you always have the most up-to-date course maps, subscribe to any course you play frequently to receive notifications when the course map has been updated. To subscribe, tap on the course; it will be highlighted blue to confirm this action. If any of the selected courses are due an update, they will be automatically added to the sync list.
If your course is mapped but not yet on the watch, it will have an 'add' button beside it. Tap this, and the course will be automatically added to your sync list.
If your course is in the database but has not yet been mapped, it will have a 'request' button beside it. Tap this to request the course be mapped. This will notify the mapping team, who will endeavor to get the course mapped within 48 hours.
If you cannot find the name of the course, press the 'Request' button at the bottom of the screen. This will bring up a form to be filled out and sent to our mapping team. We aim to have it mapped within 48 hours.

Step 6: Syncing
If you have any course maps that need to be uploaded to the watch, or any updates to be transferred, you should see a red notification at the top of the courses screen. To perform a sync, tap on the 'Ready to Sync' button at the top of the screen.
On the resulting screen, you will see a list of courses that require syncing. Press the 'Sync All' button near the top of the screen to start the process.

Before you play for the first time
Step 1: Charging your Shot Scope G3
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 watch. The watch screen will change to show the charging screen if successfully done.

Step 2: Getting ready to play
To start a round, first switch on the watch by pressing the top left button, then unlock the watch by pressing the bottom left button. Once 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.

Step 3: Selecting a course
After selecting 'Play', your watch will search for a GPS fix, which should take around 30 seconds (it may take longer the first time you play). The watch will then display 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.

How to access hazards
To view hazards for the hole, click the top right button beside the '!' (❗) icon. This will take you to the hazards screen where you can access distances to bunkers and water hazards on that hole. The screen will show the first two hazards, but you can scroll through all hazards on the hole by pressing the top right and bottom right buttons. To return to the yardages screen after this procedure, press the top left button beside the back arrow.
