Helpful Hints
• DO turn the SGX on outside, away from buildings and other obstructions. The SGX needs to warm up
approximately 5-10 minutes prior to play. For optimal performance while playing, ensure that the SGX
has a clear view of the sky at all times. While the omni-directional, high-performance GPS antenna
has been designed to lock quickly to more satellites and stay locked to maintain performance in all
terrains, it is still a good idea to avoid being around buildings, obstructions, heavy foliage, low areas
with adjacent obstructions, or reflective objects (such as metal/glass structures) while using the SGX.
• DO sync your SGX with CaddieSync regularly. Syncing regularly allows the SGX to keep running at peak
performance. Syncing allows you to check alerts for new features and software updates; automatically
upload your latest scorecard to ClubSG; and download new courses and change your Favorites list.
• DO perform a Soft Reset if the SGX appears to be unresponsive. To perform a soft reset on the SGX,
press and hold the center Power Button and the Joystick for several seconds until the SGX reboots.
• DO watch your signal strength indicator. The higher the signal strength, the more accurate the system
will be. The best signal strength is obtained in open areas, with the antenna pointing toward the sky at
a 45° to 90° angle. Holding the SGX away from your body may improve signal strength in weak areas.
It is normal for the satellite signal strength indicator to fluctuate as you move around the golf course.
• DO make sure that the SGX’s battery is fully-charged before play.
• DO NOT press the Joystick when you want to move the on-screen cursor or crosshairs. The Joystick
on the SGX is multi-directional and sensitive to to the slightest finger movements. Pressing the Joystick
will select options on the screen, while gently sliding the Joystick up, down, right left, etc. will move
the on-screen cursor or crosshairs. You do not need to press down on the Joystick to move it.
• DO NOT use AC chargers or USB cables that did not come with or are not authorized for use with
your SGX. The wrong adapters or cables may damage the SGX.
• DO NOT turn the SGX on and off during play. The SGX is a “smart system” that continues to download
data from satellites to adjust to your environment during play. It is designed to stay on continuously
during a round of golf. Turning it on and off will interrupt satellite communication and slow down
play. If you take a long break at the turn, you may turn the SkyCaddie off to conserve battery power,
but allow 5-10 minutes for it to return to optimal accuracy.
• DO NOT make any sudden or jerking movements with the SGX.
• DO NOT expose your SGX to extreme temperatures. Treat it like you would your cell phone. Do not
leave your SGX in a super-heated vehicle when not in use.
• DO NOT drop the SGX in water or leave exposed in a hard rain. The SGX is water-resistant but NOT
waterproof!
