PRECAUTIONS

The output jack is an EIAJ-standard 1/4" phone jack. Be sure to use
an appropriate connection cable.

The built-in preamplifier is automatically turned on when a plug is
inserted into the output jack. When not using the instrument, or when
playing it without amplification, be sure to remove the plug from the
output jack so that the preamplifier power is turned off.

Always set the VOLUME control to “0” when plugging in or
unplugging the connection cable.

The battery check indicator (BATT.) will light briefly when a plug is
inserted or removed from the output jack. This is normal and does not
indicate a malfunction.

Be sure to remove the battery if the instrument will not be used for an
extended period of time in order to prevent possible damage due to
battery leakage.

THE CONTROLS

USING THE TUNER

The guitar is equipped with an A4=440Hz standard pitch tuner. The
tuner’s circuitry is independent from the guitar’s output circuit so
switching the tuner ON/OFF will have no affect on sound output.

q

Press the TUNER switch. While the tuner activates the 

 and 

 lamps

light alternately.

w

Tune the guitar string until the note name of the desired pitch appears in
the tuner’s display.

The 

 lamp indicates the pitch is low.

The 

 lamp indicates the pitch is high.

The pitch indicator ( 

 ) flashes slower as the string’s pitch nears the

note shown in the display.

e

The string is in tune when the 

 and 

 lamps both light.

* The tuner automatically switches OFF when not used for more than one minute

(energy saver function). Press the TUNER switch again to switch it back on.

* It may take a few seconds before the tuner can detect pitches after being switched

ON.

* The note name and 

 displays may have difficulty keeping up with irregular

pitch changes. Gradually change the pitch and check when tuning.

* The tuner may have difficulty detecting notes rich with overtones or with very

short sustain.
