GETTING STARTED

PHANTOM SETUP

BEFORE USE

Fully charge the battery by connecting your Phantom via the provided USB charge cable to your phone charger or PC.

STEP 1

Register your device on bushnellgolf.com/product-registration/.

Install the Bushnell Golf Legacy Products App. Links for the Bushnell Golf Legacy App are below and can be found by searching your phone's app store.

Android
Apple

Add your Phantom to the Golf App using the serial number on the back of the device. 

• The first field is the model # (6 digits) and the 2nd field is 8 digits. 
• For Bluetooth pairing, make sure your Bluetooth is turned on for the Phantom. The  Golf App will ask for a pairing code and suggest 0000 or 1234. The 6 digit code will be displayed on the screen of your Phantom. Use this as the Pin code to connect your device via Bluetooth.

If you get an error that the serial number is already in use, e-mail support@l1inc.com your serial number requesting it be released for registration.

Use the website https://bushnell.igolf.com/ for device software and course updates. The ID & Password created for the Bushnell Golf App is the same for accessing the iGolf site. 

Your device does come preloaded with thousands of golf courses. The available courses can be found on the iGolf website https://igolf.com/course-tour.  When you log in with your user ID and password, you can do a virtual tour on your favorite courses to ensure that the iGolf database is up to date.

STEP 2

Once your device is registered, log into the https://bushnell.igolf.com/ website and connect your device. The website should have you download the installer program and update your device. The device update can take up to 45 minutes. If you run into any issues with registration or updating your device, iGolf can be contacted directly at support@l1inc.com. The last step is pretty important to make sure you update your specific courses.

Once your device is updated, make sure your device is fully charged.  A couple of tips about charging or if your Phantom stops responding.

• When the device is completely discharged, it sometimes will not show as charging when plugged in. When you plug it in, press the power on button for up to 15 seconds. The device should switch to USB mode and start charging.
• If the Phantom, is "frozen" and will not power on. Hold down the bottom left hand button and power button together for 15 seconds or until the unit switches off then turn it back on using power button. This will reboot the device and it should return to normal functions.
• The Phantom is pretty sensitive to being "properly ejected" after being plugged into a computer.  Whenever you are done charging or updating your device, be sure to go to your computer's file explorer, locate the device (typically a E: or F: drive showing as Bushnell), right click the drive and eject the device.
• If your file system does get corrupted, it will show an error code. The software is pretty easy to reload and we will be adding this information to our website soon.

STEP 3

Make sure you go outside when you power your Phantom on. The device needs to be connected with 3 GPS satellites to function.

FAQS

My Phantom will not power on.

Phantom Power On

The issue with the Phantom locking up or not showing as charging is sometimes minor and can be corrected easily. If you are using a computer USB connection to charge your Phantom, we recommend using a plug-in adapter (like a phone charger) to get a faster and better quality charge. 

Please try the following to see if either will get your device to power on and charge fully: 

• When the device is completely discharged, it sometimes will not show as charging when plugged in.  When you plug it in, press the power on button for up to 15 seconds. The device should switch to USB mode and start charging.
• Hold down the bottom left-hand button and power button together for 15 seconds or until the unit switches off then turn it back on using power button. This will reboot the device and it will no longer be frozen.
• The device is relatively sensitive to being "properly ejected" after being plugged into a computer. To help prevent this from occurring again, please turn the Phantom off before connecting to the computer and safely eject the device once complete.

 

I am unable to register my Phantom it says the serial number is already in use.

If you get an error that the serial number is already in use, e-mail support@l1inc.com your serial number requesting it be released for registration.

I have tried 0000 and 1234 and cannot get my Phantom to pair with my Phone.

For Bluetooth pairing, make sure your Bluetooth is turned on for the Phantom. The Golf App will ask for a pairing code and suggest 0000 or 1234. The 6 digit code will be displayed on the screen of your Phantom. Use this as the Pin code to connect your device via Bluetooth.

My Phantom GPS shuts off during a round.

Phantom Auto Off

Hopefully your device just has the auto-off setting set and we can resolve that. The steps to check this setting are as follows:

• Settings Mode
• Scroll Down to Auto Off and press select
• If Auto off is currently enabled, scroll and select disable. This will prevent the unit from automatically shutting off.
• If you want Auto off enabled, you can change the time to a longer time to keep it on during the round, but make sure it powers off at some point before draining the battery.

This is outlined on page 5 of the product manual

 

My Phantom screen is locked.

Phantom Reboot

The Phantom does have a 1-Year limited warranty that covers manufacturing defects. The issue with the Phantom locking up, not showing as charging, or not connecting to GPS is sometimes minor and can be corrected easily.

Your device needs to have GPS access to pull local course information. It sounds like your Phantom may not be getting GPS access. First perform a hard reset on the device:

• Hold down the bottom left-hand button and power button together for 15 seconds or until the unit switches off then turn it back on using power button. This will reboot the device.

When you are outside and power the unit on do you see the GPS satellite bars in the top right hand of the device? If not, you must wait for them to appear before pressing Play Golf. This can take a few minutes as the device needs connection from 3 satellites to establish the connection. Once GPS bars appear, you can press Play Golf and the closest courses should be available.

The Course I'm playing has been updated and doesn't match the GPS data on the Phantom.

iGolf Course Update

Our software partner, iGolf manages the golf course database. You can submit your course update request directly from the Bushnell Golf App.
