Coxmate Audio- Manual
Congratulations on the acquisition of your new
Coxmate Audio.
The Coxmate Audio is a rugged, simple to use,
rechargeable waterproof amplifier.
Getting started:
If unit is not charged, connect it to charger. The
charger is universal and has interchangeable adaptors
for EU, UK, US and Australia power plugs. There is also
a 12V car charger. The charger connects to the audio
unit via a Charger Adaptor which plugs into the 5 pin
rubber connector on unit. Once the charger is
connected the led will flash when it is charging and go
steady once fully charged.
To use unit, connect the microphone and speakers. Turn unit on –and you are
ready to roll. If speakers are connected to unit, it will beep 3 times –to let you
know amplifier and speakers are working. Adjust volume with +and –buttons.
Once this volume is set, unit will remember setting, even if it is turned off.
The unit can be clipped to waist belt or to arm/leg strap provided.
The Audio is fitted with a 3.5mm jack for connection to a two way radio for coach
to crew communication.
If the battery is low, the led will flash. To turn unit off, simply disconnect the
speaker connector –after five seconds the unit will flash 3 lots of 3 quick flashes,
indicating no speakers are connected and turn off. Alternatively hold +button
down for 2 seconds.
If led has a continuous fast flash, there is a fault. Turn unit off, disconnect charger
if connected and start again. If fault persists contact [email protected].
It led flashes fast for 3 seconds, then slow for 3 seconds, then battery is over
temperature. Allow unit to cool down and start again.
The Li battery is fitted with special safety circuit. In the event of it detecting a potential
hazardous condition eg excessive current, it will disconnect battery. If this occurs, connect
charger and it will reset the safety circuit.

If unit appears to be ‘dead’, then it can be ‘reset’ by temporarily disconnecting the battery. To
do this remove the 2 screws at the base of the unit and slide the board assembly out.
Disconnect battery at connector on board for 30 seconds and replace. Reconnect battery and
reassemble. If unit is still ‘dead’ contact [email protected].
Maintenance:
The rubber connectors should be greased with silicone grease –both smearing on the
external rubber surface and inserting a small amount into the metal female pins. The
frequency of this will depend on usage and whether in fresh or salt water. As a general guide,
monthly is recommended for salt water and 3 monthly for fresh water.
If unit is splashed or submerged in salt water, then it should be rinsed in fresh water to
remove the salt.
The battery is a high capacity long life Li Polymer battery. These should last many years. If
they need replacement, units will have to be returned to Coxmate or authorised service
agent. Freight res
500mmtrictions prohibit the shipping of separate Li batteries.
Compatibility:
The Audio will work with NK CoxBox chargers and NK Microphone(with 2pin connector). The
Coxmate microphone can also be used with NK CoxBoxes. Do not use the Coxmate charger
with NK CoxBoxes.
