OPERATION
A. DKW-1 RECEIVER
1.Plug the AC/DC adapter (provided) into the 12VDC INPUT JACK (3) on the back of the receiver. Then plug the power supply into an AC outlet. Slide the POWER SWITCH (1) to the ON position. The POWER ON LED (6) will now light and the receiver is operational.
2.Rotate and extend ANTENNA (7) to the full vertical position.
3.The 1/4” AUDIO OUTPUT JACK (2) provides a fixed, unbalanced MIC level audio output for connection to your mixer with the 3 ft. 1/4” to 1/4” cord supplied. As when making any connection, make sure the mixing board’s volume is at the minimum level before plugging in the receiver to avoid possible sound system damage.
B. WGT BODYPACK TRANSMITTER
1.Snap open the BATTERY COMPARTMENT (8) and insert a fresh alkaline 9V BATTERY (9), observing the correct polarity. Close the compartment. The WGT is provided with a 3.5 mm LOCKING JACK (13) for connecting the INSTRUMENT CABLE (14). 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/MUTE/ON SWITCH (10) to the MUTE
position (transmitter on, audio muted) or the ON position (transmitter and audio both on). The BATTERY INDICATOR LED (11) 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.

For this reason, the supplied INSTRUMENT CORD (14) 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
