Diagnosing GC2 Battery-Based Power Issues:

If the GC2 does not remain powered on when not plugged directly into a power source.

  1. A battery issue may exist if the device immediately shuts off when not plugged into the AC adaptor.
  2. To begin, first confirm that the power adapter is working properly. The power adapter provided by Foresight Sports includes a green LED light that remains lit if properly receiving power. If the green light is not lit during operation, the adapter is not functioning properly. Please contact Foresight Sports Technical Support for a replacement adapter.
  3. If the power adapter is working properly, connect the device to AC power for 12 hours to recharge the battery. To check the current charge of the GC2 battery, using the LCD keypad on the display, press the left most arrow key and then navigate to the “About” menu screen within the display settings menu.The current battery charge will be displayed in volts. The GC2's Nickel Metal Hydride battery is considered fully charged at 7.6 volts and higher. The battery will need to be recharged if displays a reading of 7.1 volts or lower.
  4. If, after following the steps above, the device does not hold a charge when disconnected from the power supply, this indicates that the battery no longer holds a charge. Please contact Foresight Sports Technical Support for details on battery replacement.
