BATTERY REPLACEMENT
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 switched 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 to preserve battery life.
Before connecting or disconnecting the instrument, always make sure
that the speaker’s (amplifier) volume control is set to “0”.
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.

Bar Sensor
When battery power becomes low the guitar’s sound will become distorted or
the volume level will decrease, etc. When these symptoms appear, replace
the battery as shown in the illustration below.
* Make sure that the battery’s +/- poles are properly aligned. Improper
alignment can result in fire.
* 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.
1 Leaving the 6th string in place, remove the 1st through 5th strings.
* Avoid removing all 6 strings at once. If a repair necessitates the removal of
all six strings, please be careful not to dislodge the bridge saddle, as this can
damage the bar sensor’s balance, resulting in reduced sound output.

USING THE GUITAR
1 Using a cable with a standard phone plug, connect the guitar’s end pin output
jack to the input jack on a guitar amplifier, powered speaker, or similar device.
* Before making any connections or disconnections, always make sure that
the volume is turned all the way down or the power is switched “OFF” on
the guitar amplifier or powered speaker, etc.
* Power is drawn from the battery when the cable is connected to the output
jack, so make sure you unplug the cable when the guitar is not in use.
2 Adjust the volume and tone using the controls on the guitar amplifier or
powered speaker.
2 Place your hand into the sound hole
and as shown in the illustration, use
your finger to lift the battery out from
its holder, disconnect the battery
snap, and remove the battery.
3 Connect a new battery (6LR61) to
the battery snap and set the battery
in the battery holder.
* To keep the battery cord from being
seen through the sound hole, insert
the battery so the cord is facing the
same direction as shown in the
illustration on the right.
