. Make sure the “+” sign is facing outwards. Be sure to unplug your instrument cable from 

the guitar when not in use to maximize battery life. The battery check will work even when there is no cable 
plugged in.

VOLUME CONTROL

The volume control works in the “active” setting only.

The pole pieces on the M80 are factory set for bronze acoustic strings, but this is just a starting place. They are 
adjustable with the 3/32” Allen wrench to obtain the optimum balance and tone. Raising the pole pieces will 
increase the output of the strings; lowering them will decrease the output. We have provided two additional 
3/4” pole pieces for use in the B and little E string positions with nickel or electric guitar strings, and one spare 
3/8” pole piece for acoustic strings that have an unwound “G”.
