LONG RANGER IV: OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS & TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE

1

Thank you for selecting the Long Ranger portable wireless sound system. This unique design combines a rechargeable power supply, a 

high-power amplifi er and loudspeaker and high quality VHF wireless microphone into a single compact assembly. The design has evolved 

with numerous refi nements since its fi rst predecessor was introduced in the early 1980’s to serve public address applications indoors and 

outdoors, with the ruggedness and reliablity needed for professional use.

A single Long Ranger provides enough output power to cover surprisingly large outdoor areas as a stand-alone unit. Versatile options 

and accessories expand the use of the Long Ranger to handle unusual coverage areas with the addition of external loudspeakers. 

Optional accessories also include an additional wireless microphone, hard-wired microphone, tape recorder, CD player, etc. Two Long 

Ranger systems can be interconnected with a single cable to allow multiple microphones and other audio sources to use both systems 

simultaneously, operating together as though they are a single sound system.
