Congratulations! You are now the owner of the most exible, pro
performance speed display on the market. Innovative technology places
the Pocket Radar’s Smart product line at the forefront of the sports and
analytics revolution by providing accurate and instant feedback.
The Smart Display is compatible with multiple Pocket Radar devices,
including the Smart Coach radar and the Pro Radar Module. The
Smart Display is viewable to over 100 feet in bright sunlight, with a wide
viewing angle and full 3 digit display. Lightweight and ultra-portable for
indoor or on the eld use, its brightness levels adjust automatically with
lighting conditions. It can be powered using standard Alkaline C-size
batteries or externally using standard USB chargers or Power Packs.
The Pro Radar Module features proprietary ball-tracking technology to
provide the user with professional level accuracy of +/- 1 MPH. The
rugged, water-resistant casing is built from the same high-impact plastic
as football helmets. Flexible conguration features allow for customized
set-up options to best t your speed measurement needs.
The Smart Coach radar is a one of a kind speed radar that can display
speeds stand-alone, connected to the Smart Display, or connected to
the Pocket Radar App. With professional level accuracy of +/- 1 MPH, it
features the same proprietary ball-tracking technology as the Pro Radar
Module, but in a pocket-sized form factor.
If you want to be a power user and try other features and settings,
reading through this manual will help you to take full advantage of the
other features and capabilities of Pocket Radar’s Smart product line.

AIMING
11
Must Aim Radar at Release Point
The Pro Radar Module captures a speed reading by sending out a
focused beam of very low power radio waves and looking for them to
bounce off a moving object, such as a ball. These radio waves are
focused in a small cone shaped like a ashlight beam which comes out
the front end, where the arrow is pointing, on the Pro Radar Module.
When positioning the Pro Radar Module, make sure it is set up and
aimed directly in line with the release point of the ball. This can either
be from behind or in front of the path of where the ball is coming from
(see pg. 49 to learn more about angles and how tilting down or up may
affect a speed reading). Make sure the beam of the Pro Radar Module
is not blocked or obstructed. Please refer to the illustrations on the
next page for examples of where the Pro Radar Module should be
positioned.

Standard Batteries
If powered via Alkaline C-size batteries, after the Self Test passes, the
Smart Display will ash “bat” for 1 second and then the current battery
level (either Lo, 1, 2, 3 or 4) for another second. Typical battery life with
Alkaline C-size batteries is 14 hours. See table below:
The Smart Display and Pro Radar Module combo can be powered
either using USB connection or Alkaline C-size batteries. This makes it
extremely portable and exible for indoor and outdoor use.
Power On - Self Test
If powered via USB or batteries, the Smart Display will ash “888” for 2
seconds, after pressing the Power (red) button. That means the Self
Test has passed and you are ready to start capturing speeds. If the
Self Test fails, then an error code will be displayed. The error code will
include “E #”, where the # species the error number (example: E 4).
This error code will ash every second for 2 minutes until it powers off
automatically. See Page 51 for more about Error Codes.
USB Powered
When using a USB Power Pack, the battery life will be dictated by the
specs of the Power Pack. See Page 13 for more about USB Power
Pack options.

SENSITIVITY SETTINGS
26
The Smart Display and Pro Radar Module have adjustable sensitivity
and different operating modes to allow users to optimize the operation for
different types of measurement setups. If you are experiencing interfer-
ence that causes false readings or “ghost readings”, try to adjust the
sensitivity level down to the lowest setting within each operating mode
described below, that will still pick up the ball. This can help minimize the
effects of any interference in the environment.
There are 10 sensitivity settings available in the advanced features
menu. Here is a description of the different operating modes for each
sensitivity setting:
•Setting10 – This is the default setting. It is a general purpose
mode and is the most sensitive.
•Settings9to6 – These settings are best for measuring a ball
that travels at least 30 feet or more. In this mode, setting 9 is
the most sensitive and setting 6 is the least sensitive.
•Settings5to4 – These settings are a special mode to be
used with dimpled practice balls or for measuring
Ball Exit Speed / Exit Velocity off the bat on a ball that travels
at least 30 feet or more. In this mode, setting 5 is the most
sensitive and setting 4 is the least sensitive.
•Settings3to1 – These settings are best for measuring close
up when hitting into a net where the ball is in ight and travels
10 to 30 feet. In this mode, setting 3 is the most sensitive and
setting 1 is the least sensitive. Use setting 1 for very close
work on large objects like a volleyball or soccer ball.

your measurement set up, please contact us toll-free at 888-381-2672

AIMING
AIMING
Must Aim Radar at Release Point
The Smart Coach radar captures a speed reading by sending out a
focused beam of very low power radio waves and looking for them to
bounce off a moving object, such as a ball. These radio waves are
focused in a small cone shaped like a ashlight beam which comes out
the back end of the Smart Coach radar.
When positioning the Smart Coach radar, make sure it is set up and
aimed directly in line with the release point of the ball. This can either
be from behind or in front of the path of where the ball is coming from
(see pg. 49 to learn more about angles and how tilting down or up may
affect a speed reading). Make sure the beam of the Smart Coach radar
is not blocked or obstructed. Please refer to the illustrations on the
next page for examples of where the Smart Coach radar should be
positioned.

Interference
Certain types of interference can cause all radar equipment to some-
times display false or so called “ghost readings,” or make it harder to
capture the speed of the intended object.
Movement: Any objects that rotate, move or vibrate can create a read-
ing. Large amounts of vibration, such as very loud noises, can result in
false readings. Things like motors, fans, nearby trafc or the movement
of tree leaves can be detected by Radar device. In some cases, if you
are measuring speeds on a eld near a roadway, you may pick up the
speed of a car in the distance.
Electrical: Cell phones, cell towers, wireless devices, radio and TV
transmitters, computers, uorescent lights, televisions, walkie-talkies,
etc., can also possibly create a false reading.
Appliances
Cell Phones
Computers
Florescent Bulbs
Fan Motion
Microwaves
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 to display.
TROUBLESHOOTING
48
Ghost Readings
Radar devices are very sensitive instruments for measuring moving
objects of any kind. There may be times when the speed reading
displayed may not make sense, or when there is no apparent moving
object present. False readings of this kind are sometimes referred to
as “ghost readings”. These can result from either a movement of some
kind, such as a fan or hidden moving object, or an electrical source of
interference, such as a uorescent light, neon sign, computer monitor,
cell phone or cell phone tower nearby.
You will need to use your own judgment to decide if the speed measure-
ment makes sense. If the speed doesn’t make sense, you may have
a false reading. An example would be if the Display ashes 107 mph,
when you know the ball speed shouldn’t be any higher than 65 mph.
The radar devices have software designed to ignore most of these
false ghost readings, but in certain cases there may be things in your
environment that may cause interference.
Tips to Eliminate Interference
If you are capturing random speed readings, there may be a solution to
your problem. Here are a few tips that may help:
• Change the Sensitivity / Range level of the Pro Radar
Module to a different setting. See page 20 for details.
• Use the lowest setting in the operating mode in your set up
that will reliably get the object speed that you want.
• If the Radar device is positioned behind the release
point, try changing the location to be in front.
49
TROUBLESHOOTING
Angles
A common mistake made with ALL radar equipment is trying to measure
the speed of an object at an angle. Due to the nature of how Doppler
speed radar works, the radar device will measure most accurate speeds
when the object is moving directly towards or away from the radar
beam. If you set up the radar’s beam even a slight angle sideways to
the path of the moving object, you will measure a SLOWER speed than
the object actually travels along its path. At slight angles the error is
very small; however at larger angles the error can become substantial.
Please refer to the table below for speeds related to off-angle issues.
50
TROUBLESHOOTING
Cosine Error
This off angle speed measurement error is referred to as the COSINE
error, named after the mathematical function that allows you to calculate
the exact speed versus angle. The measured speed will always read
lower than the actual speed as you move off the centerline of the path
of the moving object. For small angles, this error will be very small. This
is why you see police ofcers pointing their radar along the direction of
the road; not down a side street pointing sideways to the road.
Each degree from center will cause your speed to read the noted % lower.
