Quick Start + Troubleshoot Guide

Arrowspeed Radar

Setting up your Radar

  • Gather Your Materials

    An allen wrench may be helpful in tightening your screw.

  • Attach the radar to the adapter.

    Place the radar face down on top of the bracket. Use the small screw to secure your radar.

  • Attach the adapter to the extension rod.

    Select the level that is .5" - 1.5" from the arrow hand tighten the knob thumb to the extension rod.
    You may now attach the rod to your arrow.

Using Your Arrowspeed Radar

Your radar device is pre-installed with batteries and arrives ready for immediate use. Here's how to operate it:

Starting the Device

  1. Turn On: Press the large push-button labeled "on" to activate the display electronics. The screen will show the last recorded speed (in feet per second, fps).

  2. Prepare for Measurement: Press the "on" button again. The display will show two dashes, indicating that the radar is now transmitting and ready to measure speed.

Measuring Speed

  • When an arrow's speed is detected, the display will alternate between showing the hundreds digit and the tens and ones digits. For example, a speed of 275 fps will be displayed as "2" followed by "75," alternating between the two.

  • After measuring a shot, press the "on" button to reset the radar for the next measurement.

Power-Saving Features

  • If no shot is detected within thirty seconds, the device will automatically turn off the radar transmitter to conserve power. Press the "on" button again to prepare the device for the next shot.

  • If the RADARchron™ remains idle for about one minute, it will automatically enter "sleep" mode, conserving battery power. The display will turn off, and the device will remain in sleep mode until you restart the above sequence

  • The RADARchron™ is a unique microwave electronics product. Although the rugged design will withstand the rigors of normal use, it should not be intentionally dropped, thrown, or otherwise abused, and should not be immersed in water or other liquids. Do not leave outdoors during inclement weather. Store the RADARchron™ in typical indoor environments, avoiding excessive temperature extremes, humidity, dust and dirt. The plastic assembly housing of the RADARchron™ is sealed and not intended to be taken apart except for battery replacement. Remove the battery if the unit will not be used for extended periods. The RADARchron™ can be cleaned with a slightly damped, soft cloth. Do not use alcohol, solvents, or chemical cleaners which can cause permanent damage.

  • The RADARchron is designed to provide trouble-free performance when used properly, and given proper care. Battery replacement is the primary corrective action that can be taken by the user. Symptoms of a low or dead battery are no dashes after the radar "on" button is pushed. Other anomalies can be caused by weak battery or loose battery contacts. (Please see battery replacement below).

  • Replace the battery by removing the two screws which hold the Cover in place, exposing the battery. Remove the battery and replace it with a new one, being careful to insert the new battery with the negative terminal toward the spring in the center of the contact nest, and the positive terminal (case) protruding outward toward the Cover which has been removed. Carefully place the battery into the contact nest, being sure that the three upright contacts are snug against the battery case, but do not let any of the three upright contacts touch the battery center element, thus shorting the battery. (Loose battery contacts can cause an intermittent electrical connection, indicated by a "88" reading on the LCD Display. Engage the two tabs on the Cover with the slots in the Housing, and pivot the Cover down over the battery, which is positioned in the contacts nest. Replace the two screws that hold the Cover in place. Tighten the screws snugly, but do not over-tighten. Depress the radar "on" button and perform the operating sequence described earlier.

    Batteries can be purchased at many stores which sell camera supplies or similar electronic devices. Batteries can also be ordered from Sports Sensors, Inc. by mail, telephone, FAX, or via our Website ordering form. The cost is $5.00 each, which includes normal ground shipping and handling charges.

  • The radar has been tested and certified to meet requirements established by the Federal Communications Commission. The FCC ID is NVE 360. "This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that might cause undesired operation The radar has been certified by Industrie Canada; Certificate No. 11285; Certification No. 35431021769.

    The radar complies with current standards established for safety levels of human exposure to radio frequency energy, including the requirements of C95.1-192.2 defined by the American National Standards Institute (ANS) and the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (JEBE); and those of the Canadian Department of Health and Welfare, Safety Code 6. Use of the RADARchron™ or any other radiating device, may create problems when in close proximity to electronic medical devices, such as heart monitoring equipment or pacemakers/regulators. Avoid such use.
