Basic care
CARE & MAINTENANCE
The FlightScope® Xi sensor is a complex electronic unit and should be handled with
care. There are a number of sensitive components inside the sensor that can be
damaged by impact and may aect its operation or functioning.
Make sure to transport and store the sensor with suitable protection and care, for
example in the optional padded carry bag or the original shipping. It should not be
dropped, banged or crushed.
Keep it away from excessive moisture including rain,
and avoid spilling anything on the sensor.
32
Cleaning
- Clean Sensor and feet regularly to remove dirt.
- Store and transport in its shipping packaging
or a padded carry bag (optional accessory).

Troubleshooting
SYMPTOM POSSIBLE CAUSE & REMEDY
Unit does not switch on
Low battery run time
Batteries run down
Make sure that the batteries are charged, or
otherwise connect to a mains power source
with the AC adapter.
Make sure leg is extended.
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.
Make sure to charge batteries for 8-10 hours
until full.
When stored for any length of time, batteries
will lose charge due to self-discharge. If a unit
has not been used for a number of days, it is
recommended to charge or use AC power.
36
SYMPTOM POSSIBLE CAUSE & REMEDY
Does not display a shot
Cannot connect Wi-Fi to sensor
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 posi-
tioned correctly behind the tee from which the
shot is played.
Check if the correct mode i.e indoor, outdoor,
long indoor is selected.
Make sure that the sensor is switched on, and
check that the communications indicator is
ashing. This means the Wi-Fi is ready but not
connected. Use the smartphone or computer’s
Wi-Fi tools to connect to the FlightScope®. If
the indicator is continuously on, the Wi-Fi is
connected.
