newer and equipped with Bluetooth 4.0.

1. To install the app, go to the AppStore or

Playstore on your mobile device and install the

Roadie Tuner app. Alternatively, you can scan the

corresponding QR codes below for a direct link to

the apps.

2. Open the app and follow the on-screen

instructions.

Using Roadie for the ﬁrst time

1. Turn Roadie on by pressing the On/Oﬀ power

button (1).

2. The LED light (2) should start blinking blue

which shows you that Roadie is looking for a

Bluetooth connection.

3. Next, make sure that Bluetooth is activated on

your mobile device:

Go to Settings -> Bluetooth -> On.

4. Launch the Roadie Tuner app on your mobile

device and the LED light (2) on Roadie should turn

solid blue indicating a successful Bluetooth

connection. Notice that no Bluetooth pairing is

Android

required to connect Roadie to your mobile device.

5. Create a new instrument by following the

prompts on the screen.

6. Once you successfully add your instrument, it’s

time to calibrate each string. Calibration is a

simple process by which Roadie learns about your

instrument and each of its strings in order to tune

as eﬃciently as possible. To calibrate a string:

A. Press the calibrate button next to that string on

the app.

B. Connect the peg connector (3) to the

corresponding peg of the string being calibrated.

C. Pluck that string until the progress bar on the

screen ﬁlls up.

D. Once full, Roadie will then tune that string using

what it learned.

Repeat this process until all strings are

successfully calibrated and tuned.

Tuning your instrument

1. Open the Roadie Tuner app.

2. Select the instrument you are tuning.

3. Select the string you are tuning and connect the peg

connector (3) to the corresponding peg of the

string being tuned.

5. Pluck the string being tuned while ﬁrmly holding

Roadie on the tuning peg at all times.

6. The circles near the top of the mobile app

should light up red to indicate that a note is heard.

Roadie will now start turning the peg to perfectly

tune your instrument.

Tip: For faster tuning of a whole instrument, use

the Sequential tuning feature on the mobile app

that runs you through all the strings of your

instrument sequentially in a hands-free fashion. To

use this feature, press the button in the upper

right of the mobile app. You will see it turn red

and tuning will begin automatically.

Note: if you are tuning an electric guitar, you can

plug it directly to your mobile device using the

Roadie Jack (7). This allows for a silent tuning and

removes any possibility of outside noise aﬀecting

your tuning. Make sure that the volume knob on

your electric guitar is set to maximum.

Re-stringing using Roadie

Roadie works as a string winder/unwinder in

addition to all its other features. To continuously

rotate Roadie’s peg connector, use the

WIND/UNWIND section of the mobile app or the

wind/unwind buttons (4) on Roadie’s side.

Troubleshooting

Bluetooth connection

You do not need to pair your mobile device with

Roadie in the settings menu. To connect to

Roadie, simply follow these two easy steps:

1. Switch Roadie on.

2. Launch Roadie app and go to your instrument

page. For more info check the Getting Started ->

Using Roadie for the ﬁrst time section above

Mic sensitivity and noise levels

Depending on where you are tuning, outside noise

may need to be taken into account. When tuning

in exceptionally noisy or quiet environments, try

changing the phone's audio sensitivity by moving

the Mic Sensitivity slider to the left towards “Quiet”

to increase sensitivity or to the right towards

“Noisy” to decrease it as shown on the picture on

the side.

No more than 1-2 red circles should light up on

the screen when you are not plucking a string.

When plucking a string, you should see 3-5 circles

light up. If you see 3-5 circles light up when you

are not plucking a string, move the Mic Sensitivity

slider towards “Noisy”.

Hard reset

If Roadie becomes unresponsive, a hard reset is

required. Simply insert a pin into the reset pin (7)

hole and press the button within to reset Roadie.

This will have no eﬀect on the mobile app or its

data. All your settings and instruments will remain

untouched.

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 might be because your pegs

are rusty. If that is the case, we highly advise you

to clean or change your pegs before you use

Roadie.
