Changing the Battery
When the effect ON-OFF LED indicator goes dim or no longer lights while the effect is on, it means
that the battery is nearly exhausted or dead and must be replaced. Replace the battery following the
steps below.
This device consumes considerable power, so use of the optional PAD-1 AC adapter is
recommended. For maximum battery life and reliability, use only 9V alkaline batteries.
1. Use your thumb to pry open the battery compartment cover latch on the bottom of the unit and
remove the cover with the attached battery.
2. Replace with a fresh alkaline battery, connecting it to the snap cord (carefully observing the
battery’s polarity, + vs. -), reinsert in the holder, and snap the cover into place (avoid getting the
snap cord pinched between the cover and bottom plate).
• Do not use the unit near power amplifiers (or other equipment with large power transformers) as
this may induce hum. To alleviate, simply reorient or move the unit.
• Wireless communication devices, such as cell phones, may produce noise in your unit during their
use if very close. Relocate or switch off such devices if this occurs.
• Before connecting this unit to other devices, turn down the volume or turned off the power to all
units. Also batteries should always be installed or replaced before making any connections. This
will prevent damage to speakers and other devices due to possible loud transient noises
