nuously (not blinking) or all 

three of the Receiver bars are

K2100. Wait 20 seconds then replace ba

eries and switch on.

Get Started

1. Insert 2xAAA ba

2. Plug the Transmi

er into instrument

3. Press and hold the Transmi

on for 1 second to turn ON or OFF 

4. Plug DC adapter into K2100 Receiver

Bind Transmitter To Receiver

A K1100 Transmi

er and K2100 Receiver must be 

bound

 together before 

they can 

connect

. The Wireless Guitar System includes devices that are 

already 

bound

 together. A Transmi

er can only be 

bound

 to one receiver at a 

me.

Bind a Transmi

er to a Receiver 

by turning both o

 then turn 

them on in turn and set to bind 
mode with a double click within 
5 seconds. Connec

double blinks during bind.

An unlimited number of Transmi

ers can be bound to a single Receiver but 

only one Transmi

er can connect to a Receiver at a 

me. The Receiver will 

connect to whichever Transmi

er responds 

rst so simply power OFF 

devices that are not being used.

Change Receiver ID

Each K2100 Receiver is programmed with a unique ID that it uses for 

binding

to Transmi

ers. It is possible (but very unlikely) that systems with similar IDs 

can connect to devices that they are not bound to. If this happens, the 
Receiver's ID can be changed to one of three alternate IDs. If this is done, it 
will be necessary to re-bind Transmi

ers to the Receiver.

Microsuction Tape

Here's a piece of 'Microsuc

on Tape'. It'll hold your K1100 Transmi

er in 

place on your guitar but will come o

 easily when you want it to and 

will 

not leave a residue

. It uses nano-technology to create thousands of suc

on 

cups to s

ck to smooth surfaces.

The tape has a strong acrylic adhesive on one side. Peel the white 
backing paper away and use this adhesive to s

ck the tape to the ba

ery 

door of the K1100 Transmi

er.

The dark side is the microsuc

on side and has a protec

ve 

lm covering 

it. Remove this before use. The tape works best when it's clean. If it gets 
dirty, you can remove the ba

ery door and wash it and the Microsuc

on 

tape in warm soapy water.

Trouble Shooting

Radio Interference

Protocol-K uses radio waves in the 2.4 GHz band which is shared with 
other technologies such as WiFi, Bluetooth (both on computers, tablets 
and cell phones) and other proprietary wireless audio systems. Protocol-K 
uses an adap

ve algorithm to select the four cleanest channels for audio 

data whilst tes

ng a further four channels as backup from 79 channels 

available. It's a very robust system but in an environment with many other 
devices transmi

ng, a reliable connec

on cannot be guaranteed.

If you experience high levels of interference and unreliable connec

on, try 

the following:
- Check the ba

eries in the transmi

er

- Turn o

 any unused wireless audio systems (they will be using radio 

channels even if not transmi

ng an audio signal)

- Turn o

 or disable unnecessary WiFi or Bluetooth devices

- Increase the distance between compe

ng systems (a minimum of 3m 

separa

on is recommended)

- Ensure there are no large metal objects between transmi

er and receiver

- Move the receiver away from large metal objects
- Reduce the distance between transmi

er and receiver

No Sound from Amp

- Check that there are fresh ba

eries in the Transmi

er and the system is 

wired correctly (see GET STARTED)
- Check that Transmi

er and Receiver are 'Connected' (see STATUS 

INDICATORS)

2. Cable Tone

Cables a

ect guitar 

tone subtly by the way 
they load the pickups. 
The result is a cut in 
the highs. The Classic 
has no cable so may 
sound brighter than 
you're used to. If you 
want a warmer tone, 
increase this control.

3. Latency

The 

me it takes to 

send the sound from 
your guitar to your 
amp is always very 
short (8ms) but can be 
made even shorter 
(5ms) with this control. 
Only recommended for 
low interference 
environments.

3. Interference

Bars show the 
amount of 
interference being 
seen by the Receiver. 
Interference can come 
from WiFi, Bluetooth 
& other 2.4 GHz 
devices. Protocol-K 
moves quickly away 
from channels that 
have high interference 
but if there's nowhere 
le

 to go, you'll see 

more red bars and 
connec

become unstable.

shows you're almost

down soon.
