6.4 Installing battery holder
Before installing the battery holder it should be checked by in-
serting a 9-volt battery in and out of it to learn how it works.
Once this is checked, find a convenient place inside the guitar
where the battery holder can be reached and that there is good
access to the snap. Also check that it is in a place that the bat-
tery can be put in and out easily.
Recommended places are at the neck block or at the back of
the guitar.
Be sure that the entire adhesive surface will make full contact
with surface you are attaching it to. Clean the surface with a
moist cloth and let the moist dry completely. Remove the pro-
tective liners of the adhesive and install it. Press firmly for about
30 seconds to make it secure. It takes 72 hours for the adhesive
to achieve its final holding ability.
7. CONNECTING THE TRANSDUCERS AND WIRES TO
THE PREAMP.
Check the circuit board of the preamp and see the picture at
these instructions for connections. Connect the transducer, bat-
tery cable harness and the output cable. Notice that the small
holes on each connector of the transducer and battery cable
harness should point upwards. If UST or AST is connected im-
properly a loud audible hum will occur. Make sure that they are
connected correctly.
When transducer, battery wire and output cable are connected
to preamp, close the cover by inserting to of the tabs of one
side of the back cover to the slots of one side of the preamp
box. Then push to insert the tabs of the opposite side to close. If
difficult to push the tabs into place it may be necessary to bend
the tabs a little so that it will fit. It is recommended to test the
systems operation at this point. Insert a battery and connect the
output cable to amplifier. You should hear it from the amplifier
when you tap on the transducer.
