Troubleshooting

If you are having trouble connecting your Wingman, there are a few things you can try.

First, check that your Wingman is charged. The battery is fully charged when the Indicator Ring at the top of the unit turns green. A low battery is indicated by a flashing orange ring. If the battery charge drops below 3%, the Wingman will power off. To charge, connect a smartphone or tablet’s USB charger to the “IN” micro USB port.

Second, ensure that your phone's Bluetooth and location services are enabled and allowed access to the Bushnell Golf App.

Third, check that the speaker is working. The speaker can be reset by pressing the reset button inside the “IN” charge port.

If the remote is not working, try pressing and holding the button on the remote until it chirps.

If you are still having issues, you can refer to the detailed walkthrough instructions for iPhone and Android. If this does not resolve your issue, you can contact Bushnell's support team for further assistance.

Charging

To charge the Bushnell Wingman's internal lithium-ion battery, you will need to connect a smartphone or tablet's USB charger (any 1A or 2A rated USB charger) to the "IN" micro USB port on the Wingman. The Wingman's battery is fully charged when the Indicator Ring at the top of the unit turns green. A full charge will provide approximately 10 hours of operating time at a moderate volume. When the battery is low, the Indicator Ring will flash orange. When the battery charge drops below 3%, the Wingman will automatically power off.

The "OUT" micro USB port can also be used to recharge your phone or tablet if needed, although this will reduce the battery level and operating time of the Wingman. To do this, hold the Power button on the Wingman until the startup sound is heard and the Indicator Ring flashes orange.

If you are having issues with charging your Wingman, try contacting Bushnell's support team.
