TMANIII/ISI_1 TrackMan™ “TMAN III” Installation and Safety Instructions     Issue 1, December 2012             Page 4 of 12 2  Safety Instructions  2.1  Regulatory Notice  FCC compliance This  equipment  has  been  tested  and  found  to  comply with  the  limits  for  a  Class  B digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. Operation is subject to the following two conditions:  1. This device may not cause harmful interference.  2. This  device  must  accept  any  interference  received,  including  interference  that  may cause undesired operation.  This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communications.  However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:  • Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna. • Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver. • Connect  the  equipment  into  an  outlet  on  a  circuit  different  from  that  to  which  the receiver is connected. • Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TC technician for help.   Caution Never try to open or repair the device yourself. Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by TrackMan A/S could void the user’s authority to operate the device.

This  device  radiates  a  low  level  of  microwave  electromagnetic  radiation  from  the  front window  when  in  use.  The  radiated  power  is  significantly  lower  the  international  safety standards for microwave frequencies. However, the user should maintain a minimum distance of 20 cm from this device during operation.
TMANIII/ISI_1 TrackMan™ “TMAN III” Installation and Safety Instructions     Issue 1, December 2012             Page 6 of 12 2.3  Caution: Safety precautions  Use the following safety instructions to ensure your own personal safety and to help protect the TrackMan™ radar unit.   General • Do not attempt to service the device yourself. Always follow installation instructions closely. • Only  use  cables  and  accessories  approved  by  TrackMan  A/S  together  with  your TrackMan™ Radar Unit. • The AC adaptor may become hot during normal operation of the TrackMan™ system. Use care when handling the adaptor during or immediately after operation. • If the TrackMan™ system has been used in wet weather, clean all items with a dry cloth after use.   Power • The TrackMan™ Radar Unit has a build in battery for stand-alone operations • Do NOT cover the TrackMan™ Radar Unit while in use • Only  use  the  AC  adaptor  supplied  with  the  TrackMan™  Radar  Unit  for  battery charging. Use of another adaptor may cause fire or explosion. • Before you connect the TrackMan™ Radar Unit to an electrical outlet, check the AC adaptor  voltage  rating  to  ensure  that  the  required  voltage  and  frequency  match  the available power source. • To  help  prevent  electric  shock,  plug  the  AC  adaptor  and  device  power  cables  into properly grounded power sources. These power cables may be equipped with 3-prong plugs to provide an earth grounding connection. Do not use adaptor plugs or remove the grounding prong from the power cable plug. If you use a power extension cable, use the appropriate type, 2-prong or 3-prong, to mate the AC adaptor power cable. • Make  sure  that  the  computer  and  AC  adaptor  connected  to  the  TrackMan™  Radar Unit are connected to the same power outlet. Failure to comply with this requirement could cause electrical shock and create permanent damage on both the TrackMan™ Radar Unit and the computer. • Place the AC adaptor in a ventilated and dry area. Do not cover the AC adaptor that will reduce cooling. • Be sure that nothing rests on your AC adaptors power cable and that the cable is not located where it can be tripped over or stepped on.   TrackMan A/S accepts no liability for failure to comply with these requirements.

The system requires a free line-of-sight to the ball throughout the complete flight of the ball in order to be able to deliver measurement data.  Power ON and Charger LED’s USB B DC power input
TMANIII/ISI_1 TrackMan™ “TMAN III” Installation and Safety Instructions     Issue 1, December 2012             Page 11 of 12  Figure 4: Recommended placement of the TrackMan™ Radar Unit.   The TrackMan™ Radar Unit should be placed roughly 2½-3m directly behind the desired tee-off position. The camera window should be in a straight line to the ball – if anything better a little to the right (for right-hand players) than to the left of the ball!  The  system  requires  a  free  line-of-sight  to  the  ball  throughout  the  complete  flight.  Avoid standing in front of the radar in such a way, that if you hook the ball, you will be blocking the radar beam.   Avoid as much as possible large obstacles, especially metallic obstacles, close to the radar and within the beam of the radar. Metallic objects in the beam of the radar will have a negative effect on the measurement accuracy.   If it is impossible to avoid metallic obstacles in the beam, the accuracy can be increased by adding intentionally reflectors or by using microwave absorbing materials to avoid the main reflectors to enter the radar. Please consult TrackMan A/S support team for guidelines on how to do this.  NOTE!  Some  types  of  fluorescent  light  tubes  emit  significant  electromagnetic  noise. Placement  of  the  TrackMan™  Radar  Unit  nearby  such  types  of  light  tubes  will  have  a negative influence on the tracking capability of the TrackMan™ system.
