FOREWORD Thank you for purchasing the RUNOFF “Yorkie-pita” GM-10 distance meter for golf. This distance meter provides a simple way to measure the distance between the player and the pin. Once the mother unit in back of the pin is calibrated, the distance from the player to the pin can be measured by simply aiming the child unit at the pin and pushing a button. Operation of the child unit is simple, but the mother unit must be re calibrated when the position of the cup is changed.
Before Using Your Distance Meter 2 How the Yorkie-pita Works “The distance from the pin to the mother unit is mE measured and entered into the mother uni in advance. 2) An ultrasonic signal is sent from the child unit to the mother unit.

Installing the Mother Unit o @ The mother unit is attached to either a standard pole or a long pole (optional) and instated at the far side of the green, Here, only an outline of the procedure is presented. See the separate “Mother Unit Installation Instructions” for details on the actual installation procedure. 3 Mounting the Pole ©) Insert the antenna into the pole. =) Using the spectral tool, fasten the pole ta the mother unit with the screws. CAUTION Be sure to attach the antenna to the specified pole.
© Installing the Mother Unit © a Installing on the Green ©) Install the pole in a location at least 5 yards from the pin but not more than 100 yards iron the pin such that it will not get in the way. If the terrain is hilly and there are places from which it is difficult for the ultrasonic signal to reach the mother unit, use the optional long pole to raise the mother unit as high as possible.

Calibration (Entering the distance between the pin and the mother unit) LJ When the position of the mother unit or the cup is changed, the distance between the mother unit and the pin must be measured and stored in the memory of the mother unit. This is called calibration. Mi There are two methods of calibration: automatic input mode and manual input mode. 1H Automatic Input Mode @This method uses the child unit to automatically input the distance between the mother unit and the pin into the mother unit.
© Calibration & When four sound pulses —— which indicate the signal is being sent — have been emitted and the When only one sound pulse distance from the mother unit to the pin is is emitted displayed, the calibration is complete.
