Charging the Battery

The rechargeable battery of the NEO Ghost is long lasting and

provides up to 16 hrs (3 rounds of golf typically) on a charge.

However, battery life may be reduced due to a variety of factors

(external temperature, etc). All rechargeable batteries lose their

eective charge length over time. At the end of your round,

be sure to completely power o your NEO Ghost by pressing

and holding the PWR button until the display goes o.

To check your remaining battery life, select “Battery” from the

PLAY GOLF menu (pg. 10), or from the SETTINGS menu (pg. 11).

To recharge the battery, attach the smaller plug on the included

USB cable to the port at the bottom side of the unit and connect

the large (standard) USB plug to your computer. The NEO Ghost

and USB cable are compatible with all USB ports, including

iPhone/other smartphone USB chargers. Once

connected, press the PWR button-the display

will read “CHARGING”. When the Ghost is fully

charged (about 4 hrs from totally discharged

state, less if partial charge remains) and ready

to use, “CHARGING COMPLETED” will be

displayed (press PWR to check charge status if

not displayed).
