Connection
• Before connecting the instrument to other electronic components, turn off the power for all components.
Before turning the power on or off for all components, set all volume levels to minimum.
• Be sure to set the volumes of all components at their minimum levels and gradually raise the
volume controls while playing the instrument to set the desired listening level.

Handling caution
• Do not rest your weight on, or place heavy objects on the instrument, and do not use
excessive force on the buttons, switches or connectors.

Replacing the Battery
• To remove the battery, pull out the battery (with the power cable clip attached) from the
holder inside the body through the sound hole
(fig. 1)
and remove the power cable clip
from the battery
(fig. 2)
.
• To install the battery, snap the battery terminals to the matching terminals on the power
cable clip

q
Master Volume Control (VOL.)
The 3 mixed pickup levels are sent to the VOL., which adjusts the overall sound output
level.
* Make sure that the VOL. is turned to “0” before connecting or disconnecting.
* Raising the VOL. level will produce no sound if all pickup level controls are set to “0”.
w
Pickup Level Controls
MAIN:
Controls the volume of the main pickup.
TREBLE:
Controls the volume of the treble side sub pickup.
BASS:
Controls the volume of the bass side sub pickup.
The Main Pickup delivers a balanced sound output of the acoustic guitar’s basic tonal
elements. Mixing in the dynamics and harmonic overtones produced by the sub pickup
outputs can be used to achieve a wide range of tonal variations.
We recommend starting just with the output from the main pickup, and adding and
adjusting the output levels from the sub pickups (BASS/TREBLE) to achieve a sound to
your liking.
