Disabling Smart Features
Motocaddy CONNECT enabled trolleys can be used without connecting to the Motocaddy app.
When the trolley battery is connected, the Smart Display will initialise and display the time, date and
“SEARCHING OPEN APP” message (g. 1). The Smart Display will continue to display this message
until a Bluetooth connection has been made. The trolley can be used in this state with minimal effect
on battery capacity.
It is possible to hide the ‘Search’ message (g. 2) by pressing the centre button or turn off the Smart
Display altogether by holding down the centre button for ve seconds (g. 3).
IMPORTANT : CUBE CONNECT users can power on the Smart Display by pressing the centre button
for 1 second. It is recommended that CUBE CONNECT users should always power off their Smart
Display when not in use to maximise battery life.
Bluetooth Range
The Motocaddy CONNECT Bluetooth connection has a range of up to 30 metres (depending on
phone model). If the phone goes outside of this range the Smart Display will show “OUT OF RANGE”.
If the phone comes back in to range within 30 minutes, it will automatically re-connect. If it remains out
of range for more than 30 minutes, the Smart Display will automatically power off.

Smart Display - Installing the Motocaddy Smartphone App
Installing the Motocaddy Smartphone App
It is necessary to install the Motocaddy app to utilise the Motocaddy CONNECT Smart Features. The Motocaddy app utilises
the GPS hardware on your smartphone to provide distance and hole information on the golf course.
The Motocaddy app is compatible with iPhone 4s or newer (running iOS 9.0 or later) & Samsung Galaxy S4 or newer
(running Android 4.4 and higher). Please note, not all Bluetooth enabled mobile phone handsets are compatible with
the Motocaddy CONNECT Smart Display and pairing for other devices cannot be guaranteed.
To install the ‘Motocaddy GPS’ app, search for “Motocaddy” on either the Apple App Store or on Google Play.
Apple Devices Android Devices
Once installed, select the Motocaddy GPS app and it will load the registration screen. When using the app for the rst time,
you will be prompted to allow the app to access your location and it is important that this is enabled to use GPS features.
We recommend that you complete the app registration process to allow us to keep you informed about future updates to both the
app and Motocaddy CONNECT smart functionality. Please note that completing the app registration does not register the trolley.

Smart Display - Pairing with your trolley
Pairing with your trolley
It is necessary to pair the Smart Display with a compatible smartphone to utilise the Motocaddy CONNECT GPS and Noti cation
features. Once your phone has been paired for the rst time, it will automatically re-connect when the Smart Display is powered on,

Automatic Hole Advancement
The Motocaddy app will automatically advance to the next hole when you move towards the
next tee. The Motocaddy CONNECT Smart Display may show “Loading” while the app updates (g. 1).
The app may not always automatically advance to the next hole. This can be caused by a number
of factors including an altered tee position or incorrect changeover point.
It is possible to manually advance through the holes using either the app or the Smart Display.
To manually advance using the app, press the left (previous hole) and right (next hole) arrows at the
side of the screen (g. 2).
To manually advance directly from the trolley handle, press the left (previous hole) and right
(next hole) buttons located beneath the Smart Display (g. 3).
Please be aware that holes will advance sequentially from the 1
st
hole onwards. If you are
commencing play at a different location, you will need to manually advance to the required hole.
Units of Measure
Distance readings within the Motocaddy app and Smart Display can be displayed in both yards
and metres. This can be set within the app settings.

Smartphone Push Noti cations
The Motocaddy CONNECT Smart Display can be set to provide alerts for a wide-range of
push noti cations including new email, text messages, missed calls and other compatible apps
including WhatsApp and Facebook.
To use the Motocaddy CONNECT noti cations feature, the Smart Display must be paired and
connected to a compatible smartphone which has the Motocaddy GPS app installed. It is also
possible to use the Motocaddy CONNECT GPS mode without enabling push noti cations.

Smart Display - Notication Stacking & Grouping / Standalone Notications
Notication Stacking & Grouping
Notications will stack on the Motocaddy CONNECT Smart Display, with the most recent
notication visible.
To clear a notication from the Smart Display, press the middle button (g. 1). This will need to be
repeated for each notication received.
Once all notications have been cleared, the Smart Display will revert to the GPS screen (if “Play
Golf” has been selected) or time and ‘searching’ message (if “Play Golf” has not been selected).
If you are using an iPhone with the Motocaddy CONNECT trolley, notications will be grouped
so the Smart Display shows the number of missed calls, emails or text messages that you have
received from each contact (g. 2). Grouping is not currently available for Android users and
individual notications will be shown for each alert.
Using Notications without the Motocaddy App
Once paired, the Motocaddy CONNECT Smart Display has been developed to allow Push
Notications to be received without the Motocaddy app being open. This allows the trolley to be
used for Time, Date and Notication features without needing to have the app open.
To stop receiving Push Notications, please disable Bluetooth on your mobile device, unpair your
mobile device, update your mobile notication settings or switch off the Smart Display.
