Overview

1. Function Description
2. Usage Features
3. Maintenance Features

This document describes the VOICECADDIE SL2, a golf rangefinder with advanced GPS and laser measurement capabilities, designed to enhance a golfer's game by providing precise distance information and course insights.

Function Description

The VOICECADDIE SL2 integrates both laser and GPS technologies to offer a comprehensive suite of features for golfers. Its primary function is to provide accurate distance measurements, including slope-compensated distances, linear distances, and distances to the pin. The device features GPS Pin Assist, which leverages GPS data to accurately measure the pin on the green and block out the back of the green, ensuring only the pin is targeted. The APL (Auto Pin Location) function automatically recognizes and adjusts the pin location, guiding users through golf courses with updated pin positions. When APL is activated, the pin icon changes to indicate its active status.

The device offers various measurement modes:

• Normal Mode: Provides distance compensated to the target position, linear distance, slope guidance, and continuous measurement (scanning).
• Pin Mode: Measures slope-compensated distance, linear distance, and slope to the pin, enhanced by GPS Pin Assist.
• Tournament Mode: Measures only the linear distance for pin measurement and scanning functions, making it compliant with tournament rules.

Beyond basic measurements, the SL2 includes Real Green Undulation, which displays green contour lines divided into 11 steps with 15cm intervals, offering precise green undulation information. The Active Green feature automatically converts the green direction based on the user's location, providing a dynamic view. Green Attack Info shows back green safe distance, as well as green horizontal and vertical distances, aiding in strategic play.

The Course Preview function allows users to view the course layout from the teeing ground to the green, guiding them through the overall course layout. This feature can be accessed by touching a specific icon on the display. The device also supports Course View Zoom and Green View Zoom for detailed examination of the course and green layouts.

Usage Features

The VOICECADDIE SL2 is designed for intuitive operation. To power on the device and activate both laser and GPS functions, users press the power button. The device's Mode Button allows users to toggle between Normal Mode, Pin Mode, and Tournament Mode after power-on.

The Laser LCD Display provides clear visual feedback, showing the measuring mode, slope indicator, pin mode, scan function, slope, actual distance, GPS signal strength, unit (meters or yards), distance compensated, laser operation indicator, and battery low status.

LCD Brightness can be adjusted in 1 to 6 steps by short-pressing the power and mode buttons simultaneously. The brightness level is visible on the numerical laser LCD display.

Unit Conversion between meters (M) and yards (Y) is achieved by long-pressing the mode button for more than 3 seconds.

Focus Adjustment is available through the eyepiece and focusing unit; users can rotate it left or right to adjust the focus for clear viewing.

For GPS Golf Mode, pressing the power button activates both laser and GPS. The process involves activating GPS, touching Golf Mode, searching for GPS, searching for a golf course, and finally recognizing the golf course. The display offers Yardage View, Course View, and Green View, which can be toggled by touching and sliding the screen left or right.

The APL function is activated by clicking the APL button in the 'My Voice Caddie' application. On the device, clicking the Green on the Green View screen converts to manual pin reloading status. To switch back to APL mode (automatic pin reloading), users click an icon on top of the manual pin reloading screen.

The device also features a scanning function, which can be activated by long-pressing the power button in Tournament Mode, allowing for continuous measurement of targets.

Maintenance Features

Proper care and maintenance are crucial for the longevity and optimal performance of the VOICECADDIE SL2.

• Cleaning: Any dirt should be wiped off immediately. The coated lens requires careful cleaning; it should not be touched directly with fingers or rough materials to prevent damage.
• Storage: The device should not be stored in places exposed to direct sunlight or heat, such as a closed car on a hot day or in front of a heater.
• Environmental Protection: The device should be kept away from water and should not be used in wet environments. If it gets wet, any liquid or other substances should be wiped off immediately to prevent damage.
• Battery Care: Regular recharging is recommended to prevent the battery from being fully depleted, as this can shorten its lifetime. Only the dedicated USB charging cable with a C-type USB port should be used.
• Physical Handling: Users should be careful not to drop, throw, or insert impurities into the device. Arbitrary modification by dismantling or burning the device is also prohibited. Care should be taken not to drop the device from its pouch during strenuous movement.
• GPS Activation: To ensure proper GPS function, the device should be activated in an open space without obstacles like roofs or trees (e.g., a starting plaza).
• Reset Function: In case of issues, the device can be reset by long-pressing the Power and Mode buttons for more than 6 seconds.
• Safety: The laser should not be aimed directly at human eyes, and gazing at sunlight or bright light through the device should be avoided, as this can damage eyesight. The device is not intended for use as a children's toy.
• Warranty: The device comes with a 1-year warranty from the purchase date (or 6 months for other components). Free repairs are available for problems under normal use conditions within the warranty period. Repairs for user negligence or after the warranty period will be at cost. For after-sales service or compensation, the warranty card and purchase receipt must be presented.
