NAMING YOUR BALL
Personalize your 94Fifty Smart Sensor Basketball by giving it a name that is then
displayed across any device. To add or edit your ball name, select “Ball Settings” from
the main navigation drawer, connect your ball when prompted and select “Edit” in the
top-right corner.
TRAVEL MODE
Turn on travel mode before air travel or to disable wireless communications. To turn on
travel mode, select “Ball Settings” from the main navigation drawer, connect your ball
when prompted and select “Edit” in the top-right corner. Warning! Travel mode locks
the ball and requires the Wireless Charging Pad to re-activate the ball. When putting a
ball into travel mode, be sure to bring your Wireless Charging Pad with you.
DO I NEED TO WORRY ABOUT TURNING MY BALL ON AND OFF?
- The ball turns on after bouncing it four times in a row when prompted. This keeps it from turning
on when it’s in your bag and makes it available only when you need it.
- To conserve battery life, the ball automatically enters sleep mode after inactivity

charge any other Qi compatible device.

Tips For Ball Care
& Troubleshooting
3

16
The 94Fifty Smart Sensor Basketball contains a rugged, durable outer layer designed for
indoor and outdoor use. Obviously, any ball used outdoors will show wear more quickly
than with indoor use. The bottom line is that the more you play outdoors, and the
rougher the surface of the play area, the faster the outer skin will lose its grip.
Here are a few tips for extending the life of your investment:
•Use it indoors when you can, particularly in inclement weather.
•Don’t leave it outside when you are finished playing. Remember – it is just like
your mobile phone or iPod – neither of which you would leave outside.
•Charge the battery regularly. Like any battery, the less you use it, the less
eective it becomes over time.
•Do not place or leave the ball in water. While the ball is water resistant, it is not
waterproof. If you leave it in the water (pool, rain, puddles, sink, bathtub, ocean,
etc.) you will ruin the skin and the electronics. The warranty will be voided.
•Avoid kicking or throwing the ball against a wall. It is very rugged, but it is not a
baseball. No matter how frustrated you get, don’t do it. We consider this to be
abnormal use of the ball. This is misuse and will void the warranty. Instead, kick a
soccer ball or football to blow o some steam.
•Do not to freeze the ball. While it won’t fit in your freezer, it can fit in your
garage. In some places, garages can freeze.
•Do not leave your ball unattended in public places. We do not warrant against
theft. It might happen. So when using your ball, watch it closely and keep it close
to you. If it gets stolen, there is no mechanism to track its location.

BALL WON’T CONNECT TO APP AFTER BOUNCING.
•Try charging the battery in the Ball. The ball may have low or no battery charge
and is no longer able to communicate with the app. To charge the ball, place it
on the Wireless Charging Pad (refer to page 13) and confirm that the blue light
turns on. If the blue light on the Wireless Charging Pad turns on, then the ball is
receiving a charge. Let the ball charge for at least 1 hour before reconnecting.
•Confirm that you are not in travel mode. If you had the ball set to travel mode to
conserve power, you will need to place the ball on the Wireless Charging Pad for a
few seconds to re-activate the ball. (refer to page 6 and 7)
•After activating the ball (indicated by the blue light on the Wireless Charging
Pad), bounce the ball until the ball connects.
•Confirm that the Bluetooth radio on your mobile device is on. Refer to your mo-
bile device manual or instructions for turning on your Bluetooth radio.
•Are you using an approved and compatible device? (refer to page 8)
•If the ball still does not connect after steps 1-4, then visit www.94Fifty.com/support.
PERFORMANCE DATA APPEARS TO HAVE DISAPPEARED.
•The app records and stores data for up to 4 players for a maximum of three
months. Data older than three months is automatically removed from the app.
To store data for longer than three months, you can subscribe to the 94Fifty
online community for a monthly fee. Log into community.94Fifty.com with the
username and password on your app to learn more.

WIRELESS CHARGING PAD LIGHT DOES NOT TURN BLUE WHEN BALL IS PLACED ON PAD.
•Confirm that the Wireless Charging Pad is properly connected to the AC power
cord and plugged into a power outlet.
•To test that the Wireless Charging Pad is working properly, first disconnect the
AC power cord from the power outlet and reconnect. After reconnecting, the blue
light on the Wireless Charging Pad should blink once. If this does not occur, then
confirm all steps again before visiting www.94Fifty.com/support.
•Confirm that the logo on the ball is matched to the logo on the Wireless Charging
Pad (refer to page 15). A blue light should appear when the ball is placed properly
on to the Wireless Charging Pad.
•If the blue light still does not appear after Step 3, contact customer service at
www.94Fifty.com/support.
THE APP UNEXPECTEDLY CLOSED DURING USE AND RETURNED TO THE MOBILE
DEVICE HOME SCREEN.
•Restart the app and try again.
•If this condition persists then contact www.94Fifty.com/support.
HOW DO I DOWNLOAD 94FIFTY BASKETBALL APP ON MY iPAD?
•When visiting the App Store on your iPad, you can search for 94Fifty but be
sure to click where is says “iPad Only” and change it to “iPhone Only”. This will
be located next to the Cancel button along the top bar where the search field is
located. The iPhone version of the 94Fifty Basketball app will work on your iPad3
(or later).
