• Via CaddieSync® Express on your Computer

Activate Your LINX via Bluetooth®

1.Using your smartphone or tablet, go to the Google Play® Store

or the Apple® App StoreSM to download the SkyGolf Mobile App.

2.Follow the onscreen directions in the installed app to login or set

up your SkyGolf user account and to register your LINX. Make sure

Bluetooth is enabled on your smart device.

Now you’re ready to

• Update and download course maps

• Update and upload scores

• Receive incoming phone call and text message notifications

Activate your LINX via the enclosed USB cable

IMPORTANT: Before you connect the enclosed USB cable to your

computer, please go to www.MySkyCaddie.com first and follow the

onscreen directions to install the latest version of CaddieSync Express

on your computer and to obtain the latest drivers for your SkyCaddie.

1. On your computer, go to www.MySkyCaddie.com and follow the

onscreen directions.

2. On your LINX, select CODE in the Main Menu to display your

unique 8-character Access Code.

3. To complete activation, the website will ask you to log into your

SkyGolf account or to create a user account, should you not yet have

one.

CHARGING YOUR SKYCADDIE LINX

Please fully charge your LINX before first use.

HOW TO CHARGE USING THE ENCLOSED USB CABLE

NOTE: Always make sure the charging contacts

on your SkyCaddie LINX and surrounding

area are dry and clean of any dirt or debris

to ensure proper electrical contact and to

prevent corrosion.

1. Align the charging clip with the contacts on

the back of the LINX watch.

2. Connect the charging clip securely.

3. Insert the USB plug into a USB port on your computer, or a

SkyCaddie wall charger.

4. If connected correctly, CHARGE will display.

5. When fully charged, FULL CHARGE will display.

NOTE: It is recommended that the battery is recharged after every

round of golf or odometer session as these functions require GPS

and deplete a battery charge at a much higher rate than non-GPS

Modes. 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. If this indicator starts blinking, your battery is low and

needs to be fully charged as soon as possible. When the battery is

low, GOLF and ODOMETER Modes will not be available.

HELPFUL SKYCADDIE TIPS

• Wait until the LINX has finished syncing before you disconnect it or

power off your computer.

• Turn on GPS-enabled modes on your SkyCaddie LINX only when outdoors

or on the golf course, with a clear view of the sky. 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.
