Page: 11 / 12

Make sure that the Fretlight charging USB cable is not

plugged into the guitar. Make sure that any

powered item if plugged is going into a wall outlet that is

grounded, in other words, has 3 prongs.

DON'Ts

Do not use a two-prong plug or a

3-to-2 adapter plug. Do not use a two-pronged

wall outlet. Only use 3-pronged,

grounded, wall outlets. Do not use the middle or neck

pickups or any effects while running the lights.

CAUTIONS - Try not to use power strips or extension cords,

as they WILL introduce extra noise into the system. For best

results, connect your system as described previously. Make

sure that you are using a shielded guitar cable as there is a
difference when it comes to

extraneous noise introduced into

the system when using a good cable and as such we

recommend using a name-brand cable.

PRACTICE MODE - When the LEDs are not on you can use

any effects, pickup setting, etc. that you want. When the

LEDs are on you are in "practice mode" so those options are
limited as described previously.
