1.3 Charging
Prior to using your SkyCaddie be sure to fully charge the battery. To charge the battery:
1. Insert the supplied rechargeable battery. To insert, remove the battery cover by loosening the battery cover
screw and gently pulling back the rubber USB cover. Angle the battery (as illustrated in Fig. 3) to align the
two pegs on each side of the battery with the channels on the SkyCaddie. Slide the battery down to snap it
into place. Replace the battery cover.
2. Insert the mini-USB connector of the supplied wall charger into the mini-USB slot located at the bottom of
the SkyCaddie (Fig. 4). If needed, gently pull back the rubber cover to gain access to the mini-USB port.
3. Plug the wall charger into an AC wall outlet. While charging, the charging indicator in the upper left-hand
side of the SkyCaddie will show red. The charging indicator will switch to green when fully charged.
The battery will charge, even with the SkyCaddie turned off. A full battery charge may take 4 hours. Once
fully charged, expect 14 hours of continuous play.
