1.  Snap open the BATTERY COMPARTMENT (30) and insert a fresh 9V BATTERY (31)
observing the correct polarity. Close the compartment. The WGT is provided 
with a 3.5 mm LOCKING JACK (32) for connecting the INSTRUMENT CABLE (35).
To secure the connection, turn the metal slip ring on the plug clockwise to thread 
it on to the jack. To unplug, reverse the process. Slip the transmitter into a pocket
or clip on to your clothes or instrument strap. (Note: As the cord to the instrument 
also serves as the antenna, be sure to extend it fully for maximum range. 
Rolling up or shortening the cord may reduce the effective operating range.) 
2.  Turn on the WGT by sliding the OFF/STANDBY/ON SWITCH (32) to the STANDBY
position (transmitter on, audio muted) or the ON position (transmitter and audio
both on). The BATTERY INDICATOR LED (33) will give a single quick flash, indicating
usable battery strength. In the case of a dead or low battery, the LED either will 
not go on at all or will stay on continuously, indicating that the battery should be 
replaced with a fresh one.
3.  The WGT transmitter is now ready to use. Most or all of the RF DISPLAY LEDs (4) 
on the Encore DUET receiver should now be lit, indicating a received signal from 
the transmitter. Adjust the volume of the receiver as per the Audio Output
Instrument Connections section of the above Encore DUET receiver instructions. 
For optimum performance, an INPUT LEVEL CONTROL (34) is provided on the top
panel of the WGT. Adjust the gain by turning the control with a small slot head
screwdriver It is recommended that this control be turned to maximum gain.
However, for ultra high‑gain instrument sources such as active bass pickups or 
even extra hot guitar pickups, turning the level down slightly will create a
cleaner sound. (Note: Turning down the input gain too much can compromise 
the signal-to-noise ratio and is not recommended. Set for the maximum possible 
gain and headroom without noticeable distortion on the high level peaks).
  The AF LEVEL LED DISPLAY (5) on the Encore DUET receiver will light up to 5 LEDs 
(4 green and 1 red) for all input signals. Occasional flickering on and off during
use of the top red LED indicator in this display is normal, however if the red LED 
stays on continuously, turn down the instrument volume or adjust the INPUT LEVEL 
CONTROL (34) 
on the WGT transmitter, or noticeable distortion may result. 
  (Note: Scratchy noises can sometimes occur when some electric guitars/basses 
with dirty pots or connections are used with any wireless system. For this reason, 
the supplied INSTRUMENT CORD (35) has a factory installed capacitor inside 
the 1/4" plug. This capacitor provides first order filtering of the RF signal from 
the cord into the guitar and eliminates virtually all scratchy noises. Should your 
equipment still give you scratchy noises, we suggest these steps to eliminate them: 
 
1)  Make sure all guitar volume and tone pots are clean and all contacts 
 
are solid—this is very important. 
 
2)  Provide extra filtering with a 220 pF capacitor soldered across the 
 
hot to ground terminals of the guitar's volume and tone pots.)
