Keeping your SX500 within acceptable operating temperatures:

Similar to other high-performance electronic products, such as tablets and smartphones, the SX500 has internal temperature sensors that trigger an alert if its internal temperature exceeds recommended operating conditions that may lead to damage.

Examples of why this condition may occur would include:
• Leaving the device in a car on a hot day.
• Leaving the device in direct sunlight on a hot surface such as a golf cart seat, or the dashboard of a car for an extended period of time.


What if you receive an alert message?

If the interior temperature of the SX500 exceeds the normal operating range, the device will protect its internal components by showing an alert message.

Some functions may shut down or not operate properly until an acceptable operating temperature is resumed. After exceeding the operating ranges of 30 degrees Fahrenheit (zero Degree C) degrees to 140 degrees Fahrenheit or (60 degrees C), the power may need to be turned off and then turned back on once the operating temperature returns to normal ranges.

If this happens, Press DISMISS and move the SX500 to a cooler location, out of direct sunlight lower its internal temperature. Continued use in high temperatures or direct sunlight may damage sensitive electronics and void warranty. Do not attempt to remove battery.

The SX500 can do everything that you need through wifi connections eliminating the need to sync through USB. This means you can register, download courses, and get all updates quickly as long as you have a Wi-Fi connection.

Select “Settings” from the menu bar on the SX500 to view all of the user and system information for your SkyCaddie. This is where you will go if you needed to make any modifications to the units, tee gender, views, adjust backlight settings, battery level, time zone, etc. You can also come to this section in order to restore to factory default settings.

The SX500 has a water resistance rating of IPX7. It comes in a highly water resistant, rugged design that is capable of standing up to almost anything that comes its way on the course.

All outdoor readable Liquid Crystal Displays (LCD’s) have varying types of polarizing filters that are designed to maximize the readability of the LCD display in various lighting conditions. Each manufacturer of the LCD uses the type of polarization filter that is optimized for their particular display and the normal orientation the display will be used. The SX500 LCD has filter layers designed that provide the best performance for the LCD. Major brands of sunglasses are typically polarized in order to reduce glare reflected from horizontal surfaces such as land and water. Some aviation sunglasses may not be polarized because of potential readability issues with cockpit instrumentation LCD’s. The SX500 LCD has been tested with all major brands of polarized sunglasses and is visible outdoors with those sunglasses. There may be a slight apparent darkening of the display when turned horizontally depending on the type of polarization direction of the respective sunglasses. Most sunglasses are vertically polarized, however some are polarized 45 degrees. Each will behave slightly differently with the SX500 display. Various SkyCaddie products may have different LCD’s and polarization methods optimized for the respective product LCD.

This is not a reason for a return as there is no issue with our hardware.

On the SX500, there are two types of courses that will show up in the ‘Favorites’ list:

1. Favorite courses you have downloaded from the website.

• These courses have a heart icon beside them.
• If you remove a favorite course on the website, it will be removed from the device the next time you Sync.

2. Single courses you have updated over Wi-Fi using the ‘update’ button on the course info screen.

• These courses have a Wi-Fi icon beside them.
• You don’t need to remove these courses, as they don’t take up much space and they do not count toward your 50 favorite courses.

Depending on your round time, you should be able to get up to 14 hours or 3 rounds of golf in on a full charge. The SX500 has the largest battery in the industry so it should be ready for extended playing time, that emergency 9, or even 18 more holes.

The ‘Pro Front Mark’ is a static point on the green and does not move when you change your angle of approach to the green. The pro front represents the closest point of the green when viewed from the most common angle of approach.

For example, imagine playing a hole in regulation and think of your approach shot into the green. On a par 3 you would approach the green from the tee, on a par 4 it’s from the middle of the fairway and on a par 5 it’s from a layup zone in the fairway. The Pro front mark is the first point on the front of the green which is closest to these ideal approach positions.

Why is it important?

In order to provide a tournament pin sheet to players in a professional event, the event’s tournament director will use the Pro Front as the static reference point to pace off from when setting the pins for a tournament. For example, in order to mark 9 paces on, 6 from the left, there must be a starting point.

SkyCaddie uses the same methodology as the main Tours when locating the pro front mark on a green. SkyCaddie then uses this ‘Pro Front Mark’ for its SkyPin Sheets and to assist in adding pin locations directly into products such as the SkyCaddie SX500 and SX400.

On a SkyCaddie SX400/500, Pro Front is shown this way as a red and white circle icon on the green.

When Pro Front is enabled in the settings of the SX500 or SX400, and the course you are playing has been mapped with the Pro Front Mark, an additional distance will be displayed on the IntelliGreen screen in the lower left corner marked with the red and white circle icon.

SkyCaddie will now display the dynamic front/center/back distances based on your current location and approach angle to the green as well as a distance to the static Pro Front Mark.

Because the Pro Front is a static reference point which provides the front of the green distance based on the optimal approach angle to the green, It will vary from the dynamic front distance which is based on your current location’s approach angle to the green.

NOTE: Pro Front Mark is not enabled on all SkyGolf courses
