INITIAL SETUP– Remove the battery cover from the back of the Smart Coach radar™. Insert the batteries in the direction indicated by the polarity marks inside the battery compartment and replace the cover.– Remove the clear plastic sticker that covers the GRAY button and display on the front of the unit and the yellow sticker from the back of the unit.– We recommend you purchase “NiMH” rechargeable AAA batteries if you plan on using the Smart Coach radar in Constant-On mode.RECALL READINGS – To recall the last 25 readings, simply TAP the black MODE/RECALL button. Each time the button is tapped, it will display the previously recorded speed, most recent rst. A single dash “-” indicates that you have reached the end of the list.AUTOMATIC SHUT-OFF – The Smart Coach radar continues to display the last speed until the button is pushed again or it will automatically turn itself off after several seconds of inactivity.VERTICAL IS CRITICAL– The Smart Coach radar makes a measurement by sending out very low power radio waves and looking for them to bounce off a moving object. These radio waves are focused in a small cone shaped like a ashlight beam which comes out of the raised square on the back of the Smart Coach radar(the radar lens). – Hold the Smart Coach radar straight up and down vertically like a camera phone with the radar beam pointing in-line with the path of the ball. – If you tilt the Smart Coach radar down slightly, the beam may end up pointing into the ground and missing the ball.– Do not block the radar lens.WATCH YOUR ANGLES– All Doppler speed radar technology measures objects moving in-line with the radar beam, not perpendicular. To get the most accurate readings, make sure the path of motion is within the narrow radar beam cone (about the shape of a focused ashlight beam). Tilting the Smart Coach radar too far up or down may also cause the beam to miss the moving object.SIDE VIEWINSTANT ON – The Smart Coach radar will turn itself on and continue measuring ball speeds as long as you HOLD the GRAY button down.– When the Smart Coach radar picks up a ball in ight, it will display the speed. Release the GRAY button and the speed will display for several seconds. If no ball was measured, the display will show “- - -.”– Do not worry about clearing the display before making a new measurement. Once you begin holding the GRAY button down for a new measurement, the display will be cleared.BATTERY INSERTION AND GETTING STARTEDHOW TO HOLD & AIMThe Smart Coach Radar Measures From the Back, Like a Camera PhoneDisplays Remaining Internal AAA Battery LifeDisplays fastest Speed of a ball in flightDisplays Units of Measurement Indicates When the Radar Beam is ActiveVery low power radio waves are emitted from this radar lens in a narrow cone about the shape of a focused flashlight beamBattery compartment for 2 AAA alkaline batteries or rechargeable NiMH Batteries Hold button down well before ball is in flight.

INTERFERENCE– The Smart Coach radar is an extremely sensitive and accurate motion detector. Many everyday items may have unseen internal moving parts or may produce electrical interference that can generate false ghost readings.– The Smart Coach radar has software designed to ignore most of these false ghost readings, but you need to be aware of things in your environment that may cause interference. – One technique to test for interference is to make a measurement in the same direction with no obvious object in motion and see if you get a speed reading.AppliancesCell PhonesComputersFlorescent BulbsFan MotionMicrowavesHOW TO USE THE SMART COACH™Advanced Measurement DetailsSUPPORT We are happy to help. If you have any questions, concerns, or need any assistance, please contact us at:Support@PocketRadar.com PocketRadar.com888.381.2672The Smart Coach radar is specically designed to measure the speed of a ball in ight, and nd the fastest speed right out of the hand or right off the bat. As soon as you begin holding down the GRAY button, the radar beam is activated. As long as you HOLD the GRAY button down, the radar will continue to search for the speed of a ball. As soon as the Smart Coach radar picks up the speed of a ball in ight, it will display that speed. In order to capture the fastest speed right out of the hand or right off the bat, it is important to begin to HOLD down the GRAY button sometime before the ball is in ight. Release the GRAY button once the speed is displayed.HOLD BUTTON DOW N DURING E NTIRE PITCHING MOTIONDO NOT REL E ASE GRAY BUT TON UNTIL SPEED APPEARS ON THE DISPLAY SMART COACH RADAR FOR HITTING OFF A TEE OR SOFT TOSSExit Velocity (Ball Exit Speed off the bat) is a direct measure of the power of a hit. To accurately measure Exit Velocity, make sure the radar beam lines up directly with the path of the ball. Allowing the Smart Coach radar to tilt down slightly in your hand may result in the ball not being in the radar beam at the point of contact. Once the radar beam is positioned directly in line with the path of the ball, begin holding down the GRAY button as the hitter starts their motion. Release the button well after the ball is hit. The most consistent and accurate measurement of Exit Velocity occurs during a well-hit line drive.SMART COACH RADAR FOR PITCHINGTo accurately measure Pitch Speed, make sure the radar beam lines up directly with the path of the ball. Being too far off to the side or allowing the Smart Coach radar to tilt down slightly in your hand may result in a low or missed speed reading. Once the radar beam is positioned directly in line with the path of the ball, begin holding down the GRAY button as the pitcher starts their motion. Do not release until the speed appears on the display. You have just measured the fastest speed of the ball right out of the pitcher’s hand.IMPORTANT NOTE: Release the GRAY button as soon as the Pitch Speed appears to avoid also measuring the Exit Velocity of a hitAUTOMATIC TRIGGER / PERSONAL TRAINING MODESMART COACH RADAR FOR HITTING WITH LIVE PITCHINGThe Smart Coach radar is always looking for the fastest speed when it makes a measurement. To measure both Pitch Speed and Exit Velocity, HOLD down the GRAY button through the entire sequence. The rst number that appears will be the Pitch Speed. If the Exit Velocity is faster than the pitch speed, it will be displayed after a short delay. A well-hit line drive should be faster than the incoming Pitch Speed.IMPORTANT NOTE: If the Exit Velocity of the hit is SLOWER than the incoming Pitch Speed, then only the Pitch Speed will be displayed.• TRAIN WITH MEASURABLE RESULTS AT HOME AND PRACTICE• PROVIDE INSTANT FEEDBACK WHILE OBSERVING MECHANICS AT THE SAME TIMEHOW TO ACCESSAutomatic Trigger/Personal Training Mode allows for speed measurement without having to manually trigger. To access, hold down the black MODE/RECALL button for 2 seconds, until a ashing “Con” is displayed, and then release. The Smart Coach radar is now in Constant-On mode, and it will automatically capture speed readings without having to be manually triggered. Position the radar beam directly in line with the path of the ball, either going away or coming towards you. Make sure it is held up vertical either by hand or use a smart phone tripod mount to set it up for hands-free operation. Pressing either button will take the Smart Coach radar out of Constant-On mode and return it to manual trigger mode.HOW IT WORKSAutomatic Trigger/Personal Training Mode provides easy measurement of Pitch Speed, Exit Velocity, or both speeds in the same sequence. Once entered, a ashing “Con” will appear and continue to display on the screen until a speed between 25 and 130 MPH is picked up. After 3 seconds, the speed will disappear from the display, and a ashing “Con” will reappear. If you are measuring Pitch Speed and Exit Velocity in the same sequence, the fastest speed of the two will continue to display for 3 seconds. If the Exit Velocity of the hit is faster than the incoming Pitch Speed, then both speeds will be stored in the RECALL memory. After a few minutes of inactivity, the unit will automatically shut off.ConConIMPORTANT: BATTERY LIFEBattery life will be substantially shorter in Constant-On mode. A brand new set of high quality alkaline AAA batteries should last over an hour in this mode. We recommend you purchase “NiMH” rechargeable AAA batteries if you plan on using the Ball Coach radar in Constant-On mode.CAUTION ALWAYS REMEMBER TO STAY SAFE WHEN MEASURING. NEVER PUT YOURSELF IN A PLACE WHERE YOU COULD BE STRUCK BY A MOVING OBJECT.
