A full charge should provide up to 8 hours of golf or odometer usage.The Battery Level indicator displays on the right side of the LINX screen.

To receive the best GPS accuracy performance, give it an initial five to ten minutes to warm-up before play or activity. Higher GPS Signal strength provides higher accuracy.• To maintain optimal GPS accuracy, make sure the LINX always has a clear view of the sky when using a GPS mode.• After you exit a GPS-enabled mode, the GPS will turn off automatically, so you’ll never have to be concerned about doing so.• Do not put the LINX in your pocket, or otherwise obscure the LINX’ view of the sky, when using a GPS mode to assure optimal performance.• Fully charge the battery before each round of Golf or Odometer use.• Do not expose the LINX to extreme temperatures or to water.
