into a pocket or clip on to your clothes or instrument strap.
[Note: As the cord to the instrument also serves as the antenna, be sure to extend it fully for
maximum range. Rolling up or shortening the cord may reduce the effective operating range.]

[Note: The
INPUT LEVEL CONTROL (31) is not operable because it is preset and switched internally
at the factory to instrument GT input mode. The control is only used for Headworn Mic (HM)
and Lavalier (LT) input modes.]
[Note: Scratchy noises can sometimes occur when some electric guitars/basses with dirty pots
or connections are used with any wireless system. For this reason, the supplied
INSTRUMENT
CORD (28)
has a factory installed capacitor inside the ¼” plug. This capacitor provides first order
filtering of the RF signal from the cord into the guitar and eliminates virtually all scratchy noises.
Should your equipment still produce scratchy noises, we suggest these steps to eliminate them:
