1.1.3 Other Inputs and Outputs

LEDs - The uPro has two LEDs, red and blue, that are used to provide status indications. The blue LED

flashes when the uPro is in normal operation. The red LED indicates that the device is charging. A flashing

red LED indicates that charging is complete.

Note: The red LED will not flash when charging is complete if the uPro is powered on. Please see

section 1.3 Charging the Callaway uPro for more information on charging.

Mini-USB Connector - The USB connector is used to connect the device to the uPro website for course

downloads and updates. It is also used to charge the battery within the device.

Headphone Jack - The uPro contains a small, 2.5mm headphone jack that allows connection of stereo or

mono headphones.

Microphone - The uPro contains a microphone that will allow expanded features in the future.

1.2 System Requirements

Prior to registering your uPro via the Internet, please verify that your computer system meets the following

requirements:

- Operating System: Windows 2000/XP/Vista or Mac OS 10.4 and above

- Browser: Internet Explorer 6.0 or greater, Firefox 1.5 or greater, Safari 3.0.4 or greater

- USB 1.1 or 2.0 Port

- System Memory: 512 MB of RAM

- Hard Disk Space: 1GB of free space

1.3 Charging the Callaway uPro

Prior to operating your uPro the battery must be fully charged. Follow these steps to charge the battery:

1) Remove the battery cover on the uPro. While pressing the upper center portion of the battery cover

firmly, slide the battery cover down.

Figure 2: Battery Cover Removal

2) Insert the Li-Ion rechargeable battery into the battery compartment. Angle the battery such that the

bottom edge with the three contacts makes contact with connector on the uPro first and then push

the top side of the battery into place. The text on the battery should be face up and readable.

3) Replace the battery cover.

4) Insert the mini-USB connector of the included USB cable into the USB connector on the uPro.

5) Connect the larger end of the USB cable to the included wall adapter.

6) Plug the wall charger into an AC wall outlet. The uPro’s red LED will be lit while charging. This

LED will begin to flash when charging is completed. Charging the battery completely takes

approximately 3 hours.

Note: There are times when the uPro’s red LED will not flash when charging is complete. If this red

LED is on (indicating charging) and has been on for several hours, then the charging is

complete. This can be confirmed by removing the USB cable then the battery and then

reinserting the battery and then the USB cable. The red LED should then flash if fully charged.

1.4 Connecting your Callaway uPro

the credits they are always yours. They will never expire and you can use them any time you would like, for

any course available in our database.

Once you have completed your purchase, you will see the number of credits you have available in the

bottom left hand corner of your user account.

1.6.2 Finding and Buying Courses

Each and every course on the uPro website has been professionally mapped by Callaway Golf employees.

You can search the database of thousands of courses by using the Course Finder feature on the website.

Courses that are purchased are maintained on our servers so that you can download or update your

courses from nearly any computer.

You can find purchase courses without having your uPro connected. However, you must have your uPro

connected to the computer to be able to download the courses you have purchased.

The following section gives step-by-step instructions on the process of downloading courses.

STEP 1: Login to Your uPro Account

If you have just finished registering your uPro you should already be logged in and your uPro should be

properly connected. If you are not logged in, please use your selected username and password to log in on

the left side navigation panel. Once logged in, please verify that your uPro is connected to the website

correctly. If your uPro is connected properly it will say connected on the uPro Home page. If your uPro is

not connected it will say not connected on the uPro Home page. If your uPro is not connected, click the Not

Connected button and follow the instructions to run the uPro Finder. This will locate the uPro that is

connected to your computer and launch the website.

 IMPORTANT: Make sure that the uPro website is brought up in a web browser by the Sync

program otherwise you will not be able to download courses to your uPro.

If you have not registered your uPro, please follow the instructions in Section 1.4 and 1.5 on connecting

and registering your uPro.

STEP 2: Search For Courses

You will be taken to the course finder screen as shown in Figure 11.

Figure 11: Course Search Home

Using the uPro Course Finder you can search for courses based on a wide variety of terms (city, state, zip

code, name, etc.). Complete at least one field to start your search. If you are looking for a specific course,

it's suggested that you enter at least the course name and state to narrow your results. Once you've

entered your search criteria click "Search"

STEP 3: Search Results

Courses that are already mapped and available for download will be listed with a “Buy Now” or "Free"

button. For ProMode courses the number of credits needed is listed within the buy button. Most courses

are 3 credits, with few exceptions for 9 hole facilities or driving ranges. Courses that are not yet available

will show a “Request” button that will allow you to request that course when clicked.

Figure 12: Search Results

logged into your uPro account to purchase and download courses.

STEP 4: Purchasing a Course

When you see a course that is available and that you would like to purchase, click the “Buy Now” button.

A popup window will appear in which you will click “Use Credits" to complete the purchase of the selected

course. This course will automatically be added to your playlist and is ready to be sync'd to your uPro.

Once you have completed the purchase, you will be returned to your current search results to continue to

search and buy courses. If you would like to download Basic Mode, click the Free button for that course.

All Basic Mode downloads are free.

Once you have finished buying your courses, click my uPro from the left side navigation.

Note: Once you purchase a ProMode course, you won't need to download the Basic Mode version.

ProMode contains all of the Basic Mode data as well as the aerial imagery.

1.7 Syncing your Callaway uPro
