Battery and Charging Information

All GPS devices are fitted with a Lithium-ion rechargeable battery that is a component of the device circuitry.

As a result the batteries within the units are unable to be replaced as this eliminates the integrity of the waterproof rating of the device.

Often power issues are not related to a battery failure.

If the device is not charging or is quickly losing power, try cleaning the charging contacts on the device and on the charging equipment with rubbing alcohol and a cotton swab, this will remove any possible residue.

If a battery power issue is still present it could possibly be firmware related and we recommend you complete a full sync on www.bushnell.igolf.com per the above instructions.

If the device is still having charging and power related issues please contact our office via the Contact Us page.

Error Code

If your device has an error code that may mean that the files have been removed or corrupted. This can happen a number of ways.

If your device is plugged into any type of Chromebook/Google laptops it may cause an error and delete/corrupt the files.

Chromebooks use a different file structure system from Windows/Mac, so the device files can become corrupted or erased when plugged into Chromebooks.

Additionally, plugging them into other electronic devices that might have a USB port, such as a home stereo or TV as an example, can also cause the file errors.

As for the cases where the device is plugged into a windows or mac computer, safely ejecting is really the only certain way to prevent corrupted or lost files. However, if you have the device plugged in and the www.bushnell.igolf.com website is open, the website is designed to do this for you, which you have likely seen when it asks to click “disconnect device”, or “keep connected” after an update finishes.

An error can sometimes come up at this point (Error 1400).

This is due to the command to eject is on the website and outside of windows (or the mac system), security or antivirus software can often block the signal sent to windows/mac to eject the USB device properly.

Another way a device may lose files or become corrupted is by sudden unexpected loss of power to the device.

There are many other potential causes for Error Codes, but the bottom line is safely ejecting can almost always prevent the errors. The Error Codes can normally be removed and the device reset by having it wiped and reloaded to function normally again. This can be done by yourself following the below steps for 'Rectifying Error Codes'

Rectifying Error Codes

If your device presents with an error code the below steps can be followed to clear the error code and reinstate the files

Connect the device to the computer and locate the corresponding USB drive.
On windows, right-click the USB drive then click on “format”. If on a mac you will still need to format the device per the mac settings. This may say that the formatting has failed, but that is fine, proceed to Step 3
Download the appropriate “setup” file then copy/paste it onto the empty USB drive. (be sure they are named exactly ion.setup, ghost.setup, EXCEL.STP and so on once on the USB drive)
