I just bought a used magnetospeed and when I plug it in it goes through all the settings like it should. But at the end the instructions say that it should have 4 dashs on the screen. but mine has 3 dashes and a 0 and it wont pick up any shots. I've searched trying to see if I could figure it out but haven't found anything. So I was wondering if anybody has any suggestions before I call magnetospeed in the morning

Magnetospeed sporter problem

Yes It was just a case of user error. When I called and talked to magnetospeed they said the deal with the dashes really didn't matter. and that I needed to turn up the sensitivity. Since I've done that I haven't had any problems.
If you have a sporter I highly recommend this adapter.
It allows you to plug it into a phone and get the settings and shot strings off your phone using the app.

It's amazing they havent figured out how to simply plug the bayonet directly into a phone or tablet.
Yeah, why do I need this little POS ancient display box that eats 9v batteries and uses a analog headphone jack?
FFS magnetospeed guys, get with the times.
No, I belive you have to unplug the bayonet and plug the little display unit into your phone via the cable. Your basically paying $25 for a double ended headphone cable.
When I got my Magneto speed after using the Bluetoothed ProChrono I called them and ask why the dongle and it is because they designed the adapter for APPLE Phones which can only accept sound instead of data hence Android user must use their dongle to convert sound pulse to data pulse.
Figures. I have Android. The sound pulse thing does NOT work. What a stupid way to do it.
You have to play with the speaker volume to get it to work go up near max
Believe me... I tried ALL the tricks. Never worked. It's a crap accessory. I love the V3. But, the XFR gizmo is pure crap. Fortunately, I didn't spend a lot of money on it.
