The radar is too close and is not at the  
right angle. 

The ball is not in flight long enough for the 
radar to find the ball moving in a straight line.

IMPORTANT TIPS

The radar needs to track the ball in flight 
long enough to locate the ball prior to it 
hitting the net.  

Check for interference by holding down the 
radar main button and scanning the area 
when there are no balls in flight.

Ensure your set-up is safe to prevent 
property damage or injury.
