CAUTION
Never use a tool, your foot or other device to press the product into the pitch, simply press with

Do not force the product into overly hard pitch/ground, this may damage the sensor pins.
Do not submerge the product into water, always ensure that the ventilation holes on the bottom
are facing down towards the pitch when installed.

Always install as straight upright as possible.
GPS signals take up to 60 minutes to reach optimal accuracy, we advise that once installed you do
not move the product frequently. This will cause less accurate location reporting and also impact
battery life.
Never leave the product in a fixed location for more than 24 hours, if outdoor temperatures are
over 20 degrees they should be moved >10cm every 12 hours or so to maintain optimal pitch
conditions and not damage the sample area.
Do not tamper with the products SIM card for any reason.
Make sure the flag pole is facing away from the sun to insure no shadows can impact the PAR
readings.
1. Place the product completely vertical. This will insure proper PAR readings.
2. Press the product with your hand into the pitch.
3. Move the product at least 25cm/1ft every 24 hours to minimize any impact of the pitch quality under the
product.
