Radica Games 74037 Handheld Game System User Manual


 
SHOT DIRECTION – Before hitting the ball, the player can adjust where they
are aiming by pressing the LEFT or RIGHT BUTTONS on the Main Unit to
shape their shot or compensate for a hook or slice.
NOTE: The shot will always be aimed towards the middle of the fairway
from the tee and directly at the pin from the fairway by default.
SWING STRENGTH –
The strength of the swing will be based on how fast
the club head moves over the Main Unit. A strength percentage of the
golfers swing is indicated as the green bar that fills in the maximum distance
potential in the bottom left corner of the screen.
BALL PATH – The ball can be pushed, pulled, hooked, sliced or a combina-
tion there of. The path of the golf club head over the Main Unit Console will
determine the ball’s flight. Of course, swings down the center of the console
will go dead straight.
Push – A push will show arrows coming from
the inside to the outside across the console.
Pull – A pull will show arrows coming from the
o
utside to the inside across the console.
Slice – A slice will show the arrows path to be
on the inside (to the left of middle of console)
Hook – A hook will show the arrows path to be
on the outside (to the right of middle of console)
LIES AND GROUND SURFACES – The surface that the ball is lying on will
determine the power percentage range that is possible. Swing paths which
are closer to the center of the ball will result in better contact. Surfaces
include: T
ee, Fairway
, Light Rough, Cart Path, Rough, Deep Rough, T
ree
Trunk, Foliage, Greenside Bunker, Fairway Bunker, Buried Bunker, Fringe,
Green and Water.
READING THE GREEN – Once your ball is on the gr
een, the aiming tracers
will help you r
ead the break and speed of the green. If you stroke your putt
perfectly straight and hit the ball at full power, your ball will follow the tracers
exactly
. Putts hit softer will br
eak mor
e.
PUTTER STRENGTH – Pr
ess the ENTER Button to toggle between Short,
Medium and Long Putter meters. Three different putter strengths are avail-
able to give the golfer better contr
ol over the distance of their putts.
TROUBLE SHOOTING
TV
To locate your auxiliary channel, which is usually not 3 or 4, but a gaming
channel found between 2 and 99 (example 2, 1, 0, 99), first try 00 to see if it
is the auxiliary channel. Channels downwards from 3 until a Line 1 or Line 2,
V
ideo 1 or Video 2, Front, Aux, AV, etc., appears on screen, then push the
power button on the game and it should automatically come on if you have
selected the correct channel. If this does not work, another way to determine
your auxiliary channel is to take a look at your television r
emote. There may
be a button on the r
emote that may take you directly to the correct channel.
The buttons you are looking for may be labeled Input, AUX, AV, Line,
TV/V
ideo, or V
ideo. If your r
emote has one of these buttons, tur
n your televi
-
sion back to Channel 3 and select that button. The power button on the
game should be tur
ned on in order for the game to appear on the television.
If your television r
emote does not have any of these buttons, and channel 00
is not working, you may need to search the main menu for a way to deter-
mine your auxiliary channel. If none of these methods have helped you
locate your auxiliary channel, you may need to check your owner's manual
and/or contact a local television repair company.
VCR
When connecting to a VCR, you must first start with a blue background
showing on your television screen. To obtain a blue screen, try inserting a
videotape into the VCR, let it start to play
, then hit the stop button. This may
give you a blue screen, then you can channel down to your auxiliary channel.
If the blue scr
een still does not appear
, try entering your TV and/or VCR main
menu and see if it gives you options to select a blue scr
een backgr
ound.
Many times if you enter the main menu on your television you can change
the setting from cable to video and display a blue screen. Also if you have an
older television, you may locate a hidden door on your television that has
color
, pictur
e, horizontal, vertical, and cable, antennae buttons. If your televi-
sion includes this panel, you can select the antennae/cable button and see
the blue screen appears. If you have tried all of these options and are still
unsuccessful connecting the console, then you may need to check your VCR
owner’s manual or contact the manufacturer to find out how to set up your
VCR for console games.
Remember, you can't play our games through a cable box or satellite, so if you
own one of these make sure it is turned off before connecting the game. You can
connect our games through DVD players with the same connection as a VCR.
If you still have difficulty with setup or operation of your game, please call
our players helpline mentioned at the end of this manual.
