2. Next, connect the Power Cable to your 12V cigarette lighter on your vehicle. If you see a green LED on the connector, the cable has power. Now connect the other end to the 11-15V DC port of the turfRad sensor. Make sure the plug is fully inserted and screwed on.

3. If your vehicle only has a 5V USB power outlet, you can use the included USB-to-12V adapter to connect the power cable. Make sure to use a USB port with 2A capability. When using the adapter we recommend applying electrical tape to secure the plug securely in the receptacle.

4. The picture above shows the connected power cable and GPS antenna. When you power on your vehicle, the LED on the RESTART button should now turn on. As soon as the GPS signal is found, the blue LED on the FUNCTION button will start to blink slowly (once per second). Note that this can take several minutes and requires a clear view of the sky.
