Roadie app is available for the latest iOS devices and Android 4.3 and newer. Roadie
communicates via Bluetooth low energy with the mobile app, please refer to the online tutorial to
ensure that your phone is compatible.

1. Turn Roadie on by pressing the On/Off power button (1).
2. The RGB LED (2) light will start blinking blue. For more info about what the different colors
and patterns of light mean, please refer to the RGB LED light section below.

4. If bluetooth is switched off on your mobile phone, you will be prompted to turn it on.
5. When accepted, the prompt will disappear and the light on Roadie will turn solid blue

Tuning your instrument
1. Open the Roadie Tuner app
2. Select the instrument that you want to tune, or if it is a new instrument select that instrument
3. Select the string you want to tune and follow the instructions on the screen.
4. The first time you tune a string and sometimes when you restring your guitar, Roadie will ask
you to calibrate this string. Just follow the basic instructions on the screen.
5. Connect the peg connector (3) to the proper peg of the string to be tuned. Roadie’s peg
connector (3) is designed to fit into most standard peg designs.
6. Pluck the string being tuned while firmly holding Roadie on the tuning peg at all time.
7. Roadie's peg connector will start rotating the string's peg in order to tune it.
Note: if you are tuning an electric guitar, you can plug it directly to your mobile device using the
Roadie Jack (B). This allows for a silent tuning and removes any possibility of outside noise
affecting your tuning.

D- warnings
- Roadie is designed and tested to work with stringed instruments equipped with geared tuning
pegs similar to those of the guitar. If your tuning pegs are different, we cannot ensure proper
operation of Roadie. Use at your own risk.
- If you notice that Roadie’s motor is struggling to rotate the pegs, this is probably because your
pegs are rusty. If that is the case, we highly advise you to clean or change your pegs before you
use Roadie.
