Battery replacement
All our current lasers use a standard CR2 3V battery which can be found online & should also be available at most Battery stores, hardware stores, some chemists & some Supermarkets.
Low battery displayed
  • Replace battery to see if that is the cause of the warning
  • If a new battery doesn’t fix the issue, the software/pcb in the unit may be at fault and the unit will need to be assessed, please email support@sureshotgps.com with your name, serial number of the unit and return address details to create a RA number (Return Authorisation number).
Distances incorrect/ Laser not picking up correct distance
  • Make sure unit is set to correct meterage = yards or metres.
  • Also when targeting a flag/pin, the best the Mode is set to Pin Loc mode (flag icon) so the unit can target and display the distance to the closest target, refer to the User Manual for your model on how to set up unit correctly to Pin Loc mode.

Possibly the unit is set to Scan Mode, hence a little movement can display incorrect yardage.

MODE FYI -
There are 3 modes selected via the mode button > Blank, Scan & Pin Loc (flag)

Blank = Default, point and shoot, requires steadiness.

Scan (S displayed) = Scan feature displays a continuous update of distances to various targets across a panoramic area. To use the Scan feature, press the Power Button once, crosshairs will appear on screen. Pan across the target area. Once complete, press the Power Button again and the crosshairs will disappear and the laser will stop scanning.

Pin Loc (Flag displayed) = Pin Loc Mode with Priority Loc – PINLOC technology ensures even the smallest target is locked On from the longest possible distance. This is important for delivering pinpoint accuracy. This feature is automatically delivered when the Power Button is depressed quickly once.

The Zoom, PINLOC 5000/6000 units instinctively lock onto the nearest target, which may be the smallest among multiple objects in the background giving you confidence you have the correct distance every time. Priority Loc intelligence delivers the first and closest target by scanning the area and displaying only the nearest distance. This feature automatically works by pressing the Power button once.

If the above fails, the unit will need to assessed, please email support@sureshotgps.com with your name, serial number of the unit and return address details to create a RA number (Return Authorisation number).

Registration/Connecting via Bluetooth

Tip – on occasions it may take a few attempts to connect the Axis to the Mobile. Turning off the Bluetooth on the phone and Axis and then turning it back on can help. Also closing the App and restarting can help.

If your unit is already registered, you will have setup a login and password to Login. Also, you can login in as a Guest by using the unit’s serial number to update software and courses. (Guest is sometimes easier and can be done via any smart phone)

Blank screen after charging/not turning on

Possibly the charging clip was not attached correctly, hence the unit did not charge successfully, please recheck connection and try recharging to verify.

Also, check back of the watch, charging terminals for debris/dirt etc which can affect charging, clean out with small pin so charger connects successfully, also check charger clip for dirt/debris.

If the unit still fails to charge, the unit will need to be returned for assessment to check the charger & Axis unit is working correctly, please email support@sureshotgps.com with your name, serial number of the unit and return address details to create a RA number (Return Authorisation number).

Incorrect Time Display

We recommend that the units time be set by GPS, refer customer to user manual for instructions – section Setting The Time.

As for the time on the Axis, it will not retain the time when it is turned off. To maintain the time, it is best to leave the unit turned on between rounds, otherwise you will need to connect to a gps signal to reset the correct time.

Time setting, for states with Daylight Saving, the unit will require the Daylight option set to on or off. (default is set to Auto, but it won’t adjust correctly to daylight saving time).
