CAUTION! HIGH VOLUME!
You will operate this system for professional use. Therefore the commercial use of this equipment is liable to the
rules and regulations of the Accident Prevention & Insurance Association of your industry sector. Adam Hall as a
manufacturer is bound to inform you formally about the existence of eventual sanitary risks.
These speakers are able to induce high acoustic sound pressure levels. 85 db is by law the maximum audio
pressure level which your ear can be exposed to during a work day. It was set according to the technical exper-
tise of the occupational medicine as a basis for the noise rating level. Higher sound levels or longer exposition
times could damage your ear. The time of exposition by higher sound pressure levels should be shortened in
order to prevent from ear damages. Here are a few reliable warning signals which show that you have exposed
yourself for a too long period to excessive sound pressure levels:
- You hear bell- or whistling sounds!
- You have the impression that you can’t hear high tones anymore!

SYSTEM SETTINGS AND OPERATIONS:
USING MICROPHONE
Insert the 6.3 mm Phone plug to „MIC“ -input jack on back panel and be sure that the microphone is connected
and the microphone is on. Use „MIC“ -level button to reach wanted balance between „MIC“ and „LINE“. Too much
„MIC“ -level can cause distortion (Overdrive).
USING WIRELESS MODULE
Turn the „POWER-VOL“ -button to half way. Keep „MASTER“ -level down on zero. Set up Frequency using „ASC“
-function. Press „ASC“ -button on back panel and hold microphone or belt pack transmitter close to back panel
and be sure that there is visible connection to „IR“ -infrared sensors. This takes a few seconds. Be sure that you
have other module on different frequency to avoid overtalking between modules. When you have „RF“ -light visible
on back panel, wireless microphone or transmitter is ready to use. When you use wireless microphone or transmit-
ter, then „AF“ -light is flashing. Open „MASTER“ -level button to get wanted volume level.
Maximum distance between the wireless microphone or transmitter and the receiver module is around 100m.
USING „EXT. SPEAKER“
Use 6,3mm phono jack speaker cable to connect external loudspeaker. Use 4 - 8 ohm / 25 watt type. Output of
amplifier is not protected for short circuit, so always keep phone jack connected to speaker to avoid short circuit.
Internal loudspeaker is not active when external loudspeaker is connected.
CHARGING ROADBOY
Use 16volt/12A power supply which is included with Roadboy to use it without batteries or to charge the batteries.
Charging time is 8 hours and charging procedure will be stopped automatically when battery is full.
IMPORTANT! When Roadboy is charged for first time, charging time should be 15 hours to guarantee
long battery life. This procedure should be repeated every 2-3 months. Before this charging procedure
battery should be empty. Batteries can be replaced only by qualified person.
If Roadboy should be permanent operated, then simply keep the Charger power supply connected to the Roadboy.
