Specifications
The Glove Radar™ is packaged in a rugged plastic housing assembly, sealed to protect the internal electronics from dust, dirt and moisture which can be encountered during normal use. However, the unit is not hermetically sealed and is not intended to be immersed in water.

Two screws hold the cover in place, which can be removed to replace the internal battery. A strong, weather-resistant nylon cord, facilitates attachment to virtually any ball glove. (Attachment details are discussed on the Glove Attachment page.) A rubber pad, molded onto the housing surface adjacent to the glove, absorbs impact "shock" forces from the ball being caught.

The internal electronics are in "sleep" mode until activated by depressing the push-button "on" switch. This action applies electrical power from the battery to the radar transmitter. The liquid crystal MPH display will indicate the last velocity reading. Depressing the push-button again will cause the display to show a flashing "00", indicating that the Glove Radar™ is transmitting. Upon receipt of a velocity signal produced by a ball about to be caught in the glove, the ball speed is calculated and shown on the display in miles-per-hour. Receipt of a velocity signal turns off the radar transmitter until the "on" switch is depressed. If a velocity signal is not received within 20 seconds after depression of the push-button "on" switch, electrical power is automatically removed from the radar transmitter until the switch button is again depressed.

Limiting the "on" time of the radar transmitter conserves battery power in order to maximize battery life. The last velocity reading continues to be displayed. However, the Glove Radar™ goes into the sleep mode after an inactivity period of about a minute.
