Information about DHC

The letters DHC stand for ‘Downhill Control’ and mean that your M7 REMOTE will maintain a controlled speed whilst travelling down hills. Whenever you are looking to move the trolley in manual mode, even if just to reposition it ready to use, always put it on a low speed setting to make it easier to steer.

Safe use of your Trolley

The first time you use the M7 REMOTE, we would advise using it in an open area of grass. The trolley speeds and steering characteristics will vary depending on the surface. The M7 REMOTE will turn much quicker on hard, smooth surfaces and will behave differently on grass. You will also find that the weight of the golf bag will affect both speed and steering. Motocaddy trolleys are designed for the transportation of golf bags and clubs contained within. Using the trolley for any other purpose may cause damage to the trolley and cause harm to the user. The following is not intended to cover all possible situations. Caution and common sense should always be used when operating the M7 REMOTE.

• Never aim the M7 REMOTE at other people or golf trolleys
• Do not attempt to transport any other equipment
• The trolley is not designed for the transportation of people
• Do not use the trolley to assist you when going up hills
• Submerging the trolley in water (e.g., a lake) is likely to cause damage to the trolley
• Do not operate the trolley whilst under the influence of drugs or excessive amounts of alcohol
• All batteries must be disconnected from the trolley before folding, storage, and transportation
• When using the M7 REMOTE in confined spaces (for example, car parks) or near water (such as over bridges), it is advisable to use the ‘Manual’ control mode to ensure that you remain in control of the trolley
• Never let the M7 REMOTE run out of your sight. Always use proper care and control

Do not attempt to steer the trolley manually when being used in Remote Control mode. Motocaddy cannot take responsibility for any damage or injury caused by improper use.

Pairing the Remote Control

In the unlikely event that the remote is not responding or you have a new remote handset, it will need to
be paired with the trolley

To pair the remote to the trolley

1. Press and hold the stop button on the remote handset for 5 seconds (fig. 1a)
2. The LED on the handset will start flashing green (fig. At this point, release the button and plug the battery into the trolley.
3. If the trolley is not powered on within 60 seconds, the handset will exit pairing mode.

Handset Lock function

The remote handset can be locked by pressing the Lock button (fig. 2a). When this is pressed, the LED
will either flash Green or Red (fig. 2b). Green indicates that the handset is unlocked, and Red indicates
that it is locked.When it is locked, the +/-/< & > buttons will be disabled, and a Red LED will flash when they are pressed. The Stop button will still operate and show a Green LED when pressed.

If the handset is locked whilst the trolley is running in remote mode, the trolley will stop after 4 seconds as
the handset will stop sending a signal. If the trolley is in Manual mode, it will continue to run but can still
be stopped using the stop button of the handset.

Pressing the Lock button again (fig. 2a) so the LED flashes Green (fig. 2b) will unlock the handset and all.
Buttons will be enabled.

Remote Control 

When the battery is first plugged into the trolley, the speed display will show 2. This is the default speed that the trolley will always start at after it has been stopped. To start the trolley, press the ‘Plus (+)’ button on the remote control handset.

The trolley can be stopped quickly by pressing the stop button or gradually by decreasing the speed until it stops. The lowest speed setting in remote mode is 2. Once you slow to speed 2, decreasing the speed once more will stop the trolley.

When the trolley is stationary, pressing and holding the ‘Minus (-)’ button will put the trolley into reverse. Releasing the (-) button will stop the trolley. The trolley will only reverse at one speed and cannot be steered whilst reversing.

Operating

The M7 REMOTE can also easily be used in manual mode. When the trolley is stationary, simply turn the dial to select the desired speed and press the button to start the trolley. You can also switch from remote mode to manual mode whilst the trolley is moving. Simply turn the speed dial and the trolley will respond to the selected speed.

Whilst using the trolley in manual mode, you can quickly take control again using the remote by pressing either the ‘Plus (+)’/Left or Right buttons;s, it can also be stopped with the stop button. Pressing the Minus button will decrease the speed but will leave the trolley in manual mode.

Battery Meter

The M7 REMOTE includes two on-screen battery meters, which indicate the trolley and handset battery capacity. The number of illuminated bars will decrease as the battery capacity reduces.A fully charged trolley battery will show from left to right – two short red bars, two medium orange
bars, and two larger green bars. Should your battery capacity drop too low, the trolley will cut the power to the motor. If this should happen, please charge your Lithium battery before further use.

Please be aware that certain moisture, temperature, and humidity conditions can result in localised
misting within the display screen. This will not affect the trolley functionality, nor cause any damage,
and will return to normal when adverse conditions subside.

USB Charging Port

This trolley features a USB charging port designed to charge USB-powered devices during your round.
Simply remove the covering cap and plug a USB cable into the charging port located on the underside of
the handle. The rate of charge will be slower than a mains AC charger and similar to plugging the device into a PC. The USB charger takes power from the main trolley battery, and continuous charging will reduce the
battery capacity between charges.

Battery Management System (BMS)

From time to time, at deep discharge or long-term storage, the MOTOCADDY M7 REMOTE Electric Trolley BMS may switch off the battery. A full battery charge will rectify this problem.

If, for any reason, the voltage on the battery falls below the low battery warning on the trolley, then the BMS may disable the battery to protect it. Again, if this occurs, please recharge fully.

Please be aware that Lithium batteries tend to ‘drop off’ quickly at the end of the cycle, so it is not advisable to attempt to play excessive holes as the BMS will activate for protection purposes.

Ans: Under ideal circumstances, the M7 REMOTE’s maximum effective range is 50 meters (164 ft).

Q: Can I use my phone or other remotes nearby?

Ans: Indeed, the remote minimises signal interference by using specific radio frequencies. However, when using the remote, keep other M7 carts or gadgets at a suitable distance.
