The Bushnell Neo+ Watch is preloaded with over 25,000 golf courses and ready to use out of the box without no membership fees and nothing more to download. Registering your Neo+ Watch at www. bushnell.igolf.com is not required. However, doing so will allow you to update the data for a course if it is redesigned, or load a newly added course. Registration is free and takes only a few minutes (you’ll need the product ID# (Fig. 1a) printed on the back of your watch). 1) Charge the battery by attaching the supplied USB cable to the Neo+ Watch (make sure you are in “Watch mode” with the time displayed, not on the battery level or any other menu pages) :
• Plug the cable directly into a USB port on your computer. Connect the clip end to the watch, centering the clip so the curved end of the end of the clip lines up with the half circle on the back of the watch (Fig.1).
• When the clip is in position, you will feel the 4 pins and the tab on the clip click into place on the contacts and notch on the watch (Fig.2).
• The “CHARGING” display will appear on the watch as shown below when it is properly connected (if not, try slightly moving the clip around), and “FULL” will be displayed when the watch is completely charged (Fig.3).
2) When fully charged, take the Neo+ Watch to your course and
make sure you have a clear view of the sky. (Please refer to photo below for button functions)
• Press and hold the Front button (5) until the power turns on.
• Press the Menu button (2). The first item in Menu 1, “Play
Golf” should have an arrow pointing to it (if not, use the Front (5) or Back (3) button to highlight it).
• Press Select (4). The Neo+ Watch will search for a satellite signal.
• After a “GPS Lock”, the Neo+ Watch should automatically set the time*, and display a list of the nearest courses. Scroll the list with the Back or Front buttons, then select your course using the Select button.
• When you select your course, the main screen will display Hole 1, with Front, Center, and Back of the Green distances, and par information (see “Display Overview”). As you play the course, it will automatically advance to the next hole.
*The time can also be manually adjusted in the Settings menu (see “Menu Overview” in this QuickStart Guide.) Manual time adjustments will not take effect unless the watch is outdoors and has a GPS signal.
