Welcome to the ES12 Portable Launch
Monitor. This Quick Start Guide explains how
to set up and use key features of the ES12
and Smartphone Application. Once you
understand the basics, you can download
the usermanual and learn more about using
your ES12 at www.ernestsports.com/ES12

Download the Ernest Sports App at the
Apple App StoreSM or on Google PlayTM.

Android Users: In order to pair the
Android device properly, enter the
programming mode on the ES12 and
press the power button several times
until you reach the “PRG” (pairing)
mode. Now you will need to pair from
the Android device. The easiest way
is from the app, choose “Settings” >
“Setup Bluetooth” which takes you to the
Android’s “Bluetooth Setting” page. Be
sure the Android’s Bluetooth is set “ON”.
If the ES12 shows “Paired” already, then
delete (unpair) the current ES12. Now
scan for devices. From here, you will pair
with the ES12 (the ES12 will not show
the 6-digit pairing number). After pairing,
your Android device will show “Paired”
or “Paired but not connected”. Now exit
the programming mode by pressing the
power key several times until the ES12
shows the club.

Apple Users: Initial pairing (and after
pairing reset) MUST be completed from
your Apple Bluetooth settings.

To choose a club, press the Club Selection
button on the ES12.

Once club selection has been made, place
the ES12 device 12”-14” beside your ball
and 12”-14” downrange (see illustration
below).
