Today we’re going to show how to setup your new Approach® R10
First, we will begin by pairing your Approach® R10 with your compatible smartphone
You will now need to download the Garmin Golf™ app on your phone
In this video we will be using an Apple® iPhone, but the process is similar on Android™ devices
Once the download is complete, open the Garmin Golf™ app
Sign in with your Garmin account or create a new account if you don’t have one
For this video, we will be creating a new account
Once you've entered in your information, agree to the terms and conditions and press "Next"
Now, we will need to open the menu to start the pairing process
To open this menu on an Apple® iPhone, touch “More” at bottom of the screen
If you’re using an Android™ smartphone, touch the three bars at the top of the screen
Next, touch “Garmin Devices” from the menu
Then, touch “Add Device” and select the Approach® R10 from the list
On your Approach® R10, press the button to turn on your device
If this is the first time you’ve powered on your Approach® R10 it will automatically enter pairing mode
To confirm pairing is enabled, the front LED will be solid blue
If your LED is not solid blue, press and hold the power button for about 1 second to power off the Approach® R10
Then, press and hold the button until the LED turns solid blue
Now that your Approach® R10 is ready to pair, touch “Start” on the Garmin Golf™ app
Then, press "Connect It" to begin pairing
Once the pairing is completed, press “Finish”
Next, we need to set up the mounts for both the Approach® R10 and your smartphone
To complete this, you will need the Approach® R10, the tripod mount and both pieces of the phone mount
Let’s start with the phone mount
First, insert the ball end of the bag clip mount into the back of the phone clip
This may take some force to snap together
With the phone mount assembled open the large clip and attach it to your bag
Now, we can open the adjustable slide and insert your phone
If needed, you can reposition the phone angle or clip placement but be sure that the phone is lower than the top of the bag to avoid contact with your clubs
Finally, grab the Approach® R10 and the tripod mount
The tripod is magnetic and will easily attach to the back of the Approach® R10
Once attached, extend out the feet
In this section we will cover how to position the Approach® R10 with your target
When setting up a tee location, be sure that the tee location and the Approach® R10 are on a flat level surface
If you are hitting the ball into a net, be sure that your tee location is at least 8 feet away from the net
To align the Approach®, let’s start by placing a ball on the tee
With our tee location determined, we can now place the Approach® R10 on the ground between 6 and 8 feet behind the tee location
While positioning the Approach® R10 use the red line on the top of the device to align the ball to your target
To help with alignment you could also lay down one of your golf clubs between the alignment line and tee
You may want to position your golf bag in front of you to quickly view your shot’s data on the Garmin Golf™ app
Since you are able to video record your swing through the app you may choose to position your bag next to the Approach® R10
You are now ready to take some swingsen
To start recording your data, open the Garmin Golf™ apppari
Then, select “Golf Sim” and select one of the game modes
The app will then guide you through the rest
And that’s it!
Thanks for watching!
