TROUBLESHOOTING
1. Be sure that you are using Windows 2000, XP or Vista and your PC is connected
to the Internet. You need to have Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1 driver installed in your
PC in order to complete the installation of the Golf FXi program. Most PCs
purchased after 2005 will already have this if you have an older PC, click
“Help and Support” in your Start menu, and then select “Windows Update”.
Or, you can download the driver by going to www.microsoft.com and entering “1.1 net
framework” in the search box at the top of the page, then clicking the magnifying glass to
search the site. The name of the file you need to install is “dotnetfx.exe”.
2. Check that the USB Transmitter is properly connected to the USB port of your PC, so you are
able to run the Golf FXi software and access the forecast data updates from the Internet. If
the Transmitter is disconnected while the Golf FXi program is running, you will see a “USB
Disconnected” pop-up window, with options to reconnect
the Transmitter and retry sending data to the Receiver,
or you may opt to continue to run the Golf FXi program
without automatic updates to the Receiver, or Exit
the program.
3. If “PC Not Found-Try Searching Again” appears on the Receiver display (or “PC Lost”), your
PC was shut down or its power interrupted. Make sure the USB Transmitter is connected,
and restart the PC. The Golf FXi application should automatically launch after startup (if not,
double click its desktop icon). If you see the “USB Disconnected” message, unplug then
reconnect the Transmitter, and click “Retry”. Make sure the Golf FXi application has the
current weather data ready to send to the Receiver by clicking “Update” (it may take a few
minutes to gather all the 7-Day forecast data from the Internet server, especially if you have
saved multiple locations. Press the SEARCH button on the back of the Receiver to change its
display message to “Searching for PC”, then click “Send to Receiver” in the Golf FXi window.
The Transmitter LED should light, then blink as the updated data is sent, and the Receiver
display should indicate “PC Found...”
4. Be sure all 4 batteries in the Receiver are fresh. Replace the batteries when the low battery
indicator appears.
