Angle the battery (as illustrated in Fig. 3) to align the two pegs on each side of the battery with the channels on the SkyCaddie. Slide the battery down to snap it into place. Replace the battery cover.

2.Insert the mini-USB connector of the supplied wall charger into the mini-USB slot located at the bottom of the SkyCaddie (Fig. 4). If needed, gently pull back the rubber cover to gain access to the mini-USB port.

3.Plug the wall charger into an AC wall outlet. While charging, the charging indicator in the upper left-hand side of the SkyCaddie will show red. The charging indicator will switch to green when fully charged.

The battery will charge, even with the SkyCaddie turned off. A full battery charge may take 4 hours. Once fully charged, expect 14 hours of continuous play.
