Disassembling The RoadGear
To follow is the most convenient way to open
and close the RoadGear kits. Following these
instructions will ensure trouble-free setup of the
RoadGear.
1. You should fi rst unclip docking locks 1 and
2 (indicated below) on either side of the
RoadGear.
2. After unhooking these docking locks you can
then open the top lock 3 . This ensures the
RoadGear pieces come apart smoothly.
3. Stand the powered mixer upright.
4. To re-assemble the RoadGear pieces, the same
order should be taken (side locks fi rst, followed
by the the top). This way the pieces will be held
securely and fi rmly together.
Initial Setup
Please ensure you take note of all setup instructions
listed in this manual. The RoadGear 160 and 260
are both used as normal PA systems and therefore
all care should be taken in ensuring the correct
setting up of equipment.
1. Disassemble the mobile RoadGear set and
remove the speakers from the top of the kit.
Remove all items you wish to use in your PA
system from the RoadGear’s storage area.
Also, place the mixer and speakers in a suitable
place.
2. Connect the two speakers to the Powered
Mixer, via the supplied speaker cable. An
optional speaker stand may be used to increase
the height of the speakers.
NB. No devices other than speakers should be connected to the
speaker outputs. Doing so will likely cause damage to the device.
Also, guitar cables should not be used to connect amplifi ers to
speakers.
3. Plug all necessary instruments and equipment
into the device’s various inputs as required.
This may include line-signal devices, as well as
microphones and/or guitars, keyboards, etc.
4. Plug any necessary equipment into the device’s
various outputs. This could include monitors,
signal processors, and/or recording devices.
5. Ensure all input and out levels are set to the left-
most position.
6. Plug the supplied AC cable into the AC inlet on
the back of the RoadGear mixer.
NB. Ensure the power cable has no scratches or cuts that may
reveal the wire beneath before plugging into the
provided powered
mixer as constant setting up and disassembling of equipment may cause
insulation to wear.
7. Plug the supplied AC cable into a power outlet
of a suitable voltage.
8. Turn the mixer power switch to the on position
and set all input and output at appropriate levels
to suit your needs.
9.
When the RoadGear is in use, the storage compartment
door must be kept open for better ventilation.

Some Important Information
The Combination Docking Lock
The docking locks of the RoadGear are combination locks, which require the user to enter a pre-set
combination to open them. Please observe the following instructions to opening the lock.
1) The default code of the lock is 000. Please enter this code the fi rst time you use the RoadGear.
2) To change the lock’s code, fi rst open the latch and fi nd a small lever on the underneath of the lock.
Pull it towards the centre of the lock and up until it sticks into place.
3) Change the code dials to your desired secret code. Ensure you either remember the code by heart
or write it down somewhere, so as to not have to attempt to break the RoadGear apart in a way that
would not be favorable to your equipment.
4) After entering your desired code, replace the small lever underneath the lock into its original posi-
tion. And Voila! Your new, secret code is set.
Latch Position
Please ensure, after unpacking the RoadGear set, that the docking locks on the speakers are locked
back into place, to ensure the locks do not scratch the surface on which the speaker is standing.
