Installation and setup

1.  Insert the provided batteries in the battery compartment. You can use both Alkaline or Ni-MH rechargeable 

batteries. High energy Ni-MH will last at least 18 hours. Tip: If you play frequently, a good suggestion is to 

have 2 sets of rechargeable AAs, one in use and the other on charge and swap them every 2-3 gigs.

2.  Connect the iRig Acoustic microphone.
3.  Fix the microphone to your instrument. If the soundboard of your instrument is very thin the iRig Acoustic 

microphone may not stay perfectly steady during use. To solve this you can add one or more layers of 

adhesive tape inside the iRig Acoustic microphone slot to make it a perfect fit for your instrument.
