Troubleshooting SYMPTOM POSSIBLE CAUSE & REMEDY Unit does not switch on Make sure that the batteries are charged, or otherwise connect to a mains power source with the AC adapter. Low battery run time Make sure leg is extended. Batteries run down Rechargeable batteries lose capacity over time. If your batteries have become too poor to use, contact FlightScope® support for a new battery module or send your battery module in so that new cells can be inserted.
SYMPTOM POSSIBLE CAUSE & REMEDY Does not display a shot Ensure that the Wi-Fi connection between your smartphone or tablet and the sensor is set up and connected. Check that the sensor is switched on and positioned correctly behind the tee from which the shot is played. Check if the correct mode i.e indoor, outdoor, long indoor is selected. Cannot connect Wi-Fi to sensor Make sure that the sensor is switched on, and check that the communications indicator is flashing.
