5 Steps for Success - EAP

✅ Step 1: Get Started with the Early Access Program

  • Ensure that Pocket Radar PRO is enabled in your Sports App by going to More > Early Access Program > Pocket Radar PRO.
  • Start by creating a new session, selecting your sport (Baseball or Softball), choosing “Hitting” mode, and enabling launch angle/velocity calculations.

✅ Step 2: Set Up and Calibrate Properly

  • Gather all necessary hardware: Smart Coach device, Apple smartphone/tablet, tripod, universal mount, and optional battery pack.
  • This set up is intended for cages and outdoor usage.   Ensure balls travel at least 30 feet to be registered accurately.

  • Position your setup 10 feet behind home plate, about 4 feet high, and as centered as possible.
  • Make sure your device is not obstructed by netting or fencing and has a clear line of sight.
  • Only use with tee work, soft toss, or front toss for hardware safety.
  • Use the visual bullseye to confirm calibration.

  • Use the Audio Feedback feature in App Settings to hear your results either as a beep or readout. For fast-paced training use the beep function.

✅ Step 3: Minimize Distractions with Fitness Focus

  • Create a custom Fitness Focus in iPhone settings to block interruptions during sessions.
  • This ensures uninterrupted data capture and performance analysis.
  • Important: set up steps may vary depending on iOS device and operating system.

✅ Step 4: Troubleshoot Smartly

  • Avoid tilting the phone during calibration—restart if calibration is corrupted.
  • Ensure balls travel at least 30 feet to be registered accurately.
  • Prevent device movement during sessions; if bumped, recalibrate.
  • Use the speed filter to reduce interference from nearby activity.

  • Slow down. Make sure batter waits until measurement (audio or visual) has been completed before next swing. Refer to Audio Feedback feature in Step 2.

✅ Step 5: Share Your Video Feedback

  • Please submit videos captured during use and any relevant feedback via the Sports App: Open App > More > Early Access Program > Learn How To Upload Your Videos.
