Installing the Magnetic Tripod Mount

WARNING
Both the device and its mount may contain magnets. Under certain circumstances, magnets may cause interference with some internal medical devices, including pacemakers and insulin pumps. Devices and mounts that contain magnets should be kept away from such medical devices.

NOTICE
The mount contains a magnet. Under certain circumstances, magnets may cause damage to some electronic devices, including hard drives in laptop computers. Use caution when the mount is near electronic devices.

1. Ensure the tripod mount is free of any debris.
2. Insert the top of the tripod mount into the back of the device. The tripod mount is magnetic and holds the device in place.
   NOTE: The tripod mount can only be installed one way. If it is not fully seated in the back of the device, you have installed it using the wrong orientation.
   
3. Open the tripod legs so they are fully extended.
   

Preparing for a Shot

CAUTION
Failing to take one or more of the following actions could result in possible property damage or personal injury while using the device indoors:

• Ensure there is adequate ceiling height and that no objects can obstruct your backswing or follow through.
• Ensure that any net or impact screen is set up with adequate free space behind the net or screen.
• Ensure that any net or impact screen is high enough and extended enough to account for high-lofted shots or any errant shots.
• Ensure that any net or enclosure frame is padded to help reduce ball ricochet.

1. Place the ball at the desired tee location. NOTE: The tee location must be at least 8 ft. (2.4 m) away from the net when playing indoors.
2. Attach the launch monitor to the tripod mount.
3. Place the launch monitor on the ground between 6 ft. and 8 ft. (1.8 m and 2.4 m) behind the tee location. NOTE: If you are using a golf mat, make sure the bottom edge of the launch monitor sits above the mat.
4. Adjust the launch monitor so the red alignment line is aligned with the tee location and the target of the shot. TIP: You can lay a golf club on the ground between the alignment line and the tee location to confirm they are lined up.
5. If necessary, you can move the tee location up to 1 ft. (0.3 m) on either side of the target line, within a 2 x 2 ft. (0.6 x 0.6 m) hitting area that begins 6 ft. (1.8 m) from the launch monitor. This may be helpful if your tee location becomes worn during a golf simulator game mode session. NOTE: The ball and club angles are measured parallel to the target line.
   
6. Press the button to turn on the launch monitor.
7. Start a golf simulator game mode..
8. Wait for the status LED to begin flashing green, and take a shot.

Using the Golf Simulator Features

1. Open the Garmin Golf app on your paired smartphone.
2. Select a game mode.
3. Follow the on-screen instructions.

Setting the Weather Conditions 

You can set weather conditions when you start a golf simulator game mode. It is important to set weather conditions that match where you typically play. If they do not match the conditions at your normal course locations, the carry distances may seem inaccurate.

1. Start a Home Tee Hero or Driving Range session.
2. When prompted, select Weather Conditions.
3. Select an option:
   • To set the weather conditions based on the course location, select Course Location.
     NOTE: This option is only available in the Home Tee Hero mode.
   •  To set the weather conditions based on your current location, select Current Location.
     NOTE: To use the Current Location option, enable phone app permissions to share your location with the Garmin Golf app.
