WGT Instrument Bodypack Transmitter
1. Snap open the
BATTERY COMPARTMENT (25)
and insert a fresh
9V BATTERY
(26)
, observing the correct polarity. Close the compartment. The WGT-15 is provided with
a
3.5 mm LOCKING JACK (27)
for connecting the
INSTRUMENT CABLE (28)
. To
secure the connection, turn the metal slip ring on the plug clockwise to thread it on to the
jack. To unplug, reverse the process. Slip the transmitter 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.)
2. Turn on the WGT by sliding the
OFF/STANDBY/ON SWITCH (29)
to the STANDBY
position (transmitter on, audio muted) or the ON position (transmitter and audio both on).
The
BATTERY INDICATOR LED (30)
will give a single quick flash, indicating usable
battery strength. In the case of a dead or low battery, the LED either will not go on at all or
will stay on continuously, indicating that the battery should be replaced with a fresh one.
3. The WGT transmitter is now ready to use. The
TX DISPLAY LEDs (7)
on the 401X
Quad receiver should now be lit, indicating a received signal from the transmitter. Adjust the
volume of the receiver as per the
Audio Output Instrument Connections
section of the
above 401X Quad receiver instructions. The
AF LEVEL LED DISPLAY (7)
on the 401X
Quad receiver will light up as if the input signals are getting stronger. Occasional flickering
on and off during use of the LED indicator is normal. However, if the LED stays on
continuously, turn down the instrument volume control or noticeable distortion may result.
For ultra high-gain instrument sources such as active bass pickups or even extra hot guitar
pickups, an attenuation pad may be required to eliminate unwanted distortion.
(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 1/4” 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:
1) Make sure all guitar volume and tone pots are clean and all contacts are solid – this is
very important.
2) Provide extra filtering with a 220 pF capacitor soldered across the hot to ground
terminals of the guitar’s volume and tone pots.)
