MODEL CV-RG DC-DC CONVERTER
INTRODUCTION
The Phonic DC to DC converter will allow users to connect a portable battery source to
their RoadGear, for use at any location without a standard AC power source. The DC to
DC converter changes plus 12 volt DC currents, from, say, a battery pack, into the plus
/ minus 48 volt DC current reuired by the RoadGear Integrated Mobile Audio System. It
is recommeneded that users take the time to look carefully though this instruction leaet
as to gain maximum understanding of the operation and safety requirements of the DC
to DC converter, then store the instruction leaess in a place that is easy to nd for future
reference.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Please read the following warnings carefully and keep in mind while operating the Phonic
DC to DC converter.
● Take extreme caution when moving / operating / connectin g battery packs, as a large
battery is capable of short, high current output, able to cause physical harm to persons.
● Operate the DC to DC converter in a somewhat open area, allowing for adequate
ventilation.
● When connecting or operating the DC to DC converter, do not allow lose jewelry, rings,
or other conductive metals come into contact with battery terminals. Doing so may
result in severe shock. Such things should be removed before attempting to operate the
device.
● Do not expose this unit to moisture or rain, as to prevent re or electrical shock.
● Sparks and open ames should not be in close proximity of a battery, as it may result in
an explosion.
● As some batteries contain corrosive acids, try using sealed batteries as to avoid spillage
of such materials.
● Do not attempt to disassemble or ret this product on yourself. Servicing should be
undertaken by experienced and authorized Phonic technicians only.
● After transportation of electronic equipment in cold weather, condensation may form
in or around internal circuits of such equipment, resulting in short circuits, damage to
equipment and greatly increasing the risk of electrical shock. It is advisable to let all
products reach ambient temperature before attempting to use them.
CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS
Ensuring it is disconnected, use a slightly damp cloth to wipe the surface of the DC to DC
converter. Under no circumstances should you allow water into the unit. Unconnected cables
should be wiped occasionally as to avoid built up dust from entering equipment. Foreign
matter should not be allowed to enter connections. Ensure that exposure to water and
moisture is avoided.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
1. Ensure the on / off switch of your DC to DC connector is set to Off
2. Connect the two alligator clip terminals to the BP-RG battery pack; red clip connected to
the positive terminal, black to negative.
NB. If a clip accidently comes lose while the Battery is in use, ensure you turn the DC to DC converter off before reconnecting to the
battery. Not doing so may result in damage being done to both the DC to DC converter and the RoadGear.
3. Insert the adaptor's multi-pin terminal into the DC power input at the back of the
RoadGear. Ensure the connector's clip is positioned the right way up to ensure the
polarity of the connections is correct.
4. Turn the DC to DC converter's on / off switch on.
NB. When using the DC-to-DC converter, the on / off switch on the converter will act as the RoadGear's on / off button, as the
connection of an external power supply bypasses the typical RoadGear AC power input and power switch.
