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. The A and/or B DIVERSITY LED

INDICATORS (3)

and most or all of the RF DISPLAY LEDs (4) on the Encore II 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 II 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 II 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.)
