seconds, and adjustments are made
automatically.
By inserting the transmitter in the TRANSMITTER IN jack before
plugging it into your guitar, you can charge the transmitter and
also obtain a stable wireless connection.

You can use a commercially available USB cable to charge
the transmitter instead of inserting the transmitter in the
KATANA-AIR’s TRANSMITTER IN jack.
NOTE
Don’t charge the transmitter from the DC IN 5 V port while
performing with the transmitter inserted in the guitar.

When you insert the transmitter into your guitar, the transmitter
automatically powers-on.

If you insert the transmitter into a guitar whose electrical
specifications differ from those of a standard guitar, the
