IMPORTANT!
If your computer is protected by a
firewall, it may need to be set up
to allow our SkyCaddie software
programs to access the web. If
your firewall software displays
any warning messages during the
activation process, simply indicate
that you wish to allow access.
Note
You can browse the SkyCourse
library anytime through the public
area of www.skygolf.com. However,
in order to obtain the courses for
use with your SGX, you MUST
have a Membership Plan and use
CaddieSync to download them.
Connecting the SGX...
When connecting and disconnecting
the SGX to your computer, make
sure that it is powered OFF when
you connect the cable. As soon
as the cable is plugged into the
computer, the SGX should power on
automatically.
