WGT Bodypack Transmitter

1.Snap open the BATTERY COMPARTMENT (7) and insert a fresh 9V BATTERY (8), observing the correct polarity. Close the compartment. The WGT is provided with a 3.5 mm LOCKING JACK (9) for connecting the INSTRUMENT CABLE (10). 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 (11) to the Standby position (transmitter on, audio muted) or the On position (transmitter and audio both on). The BATTERY INDICATOR LED (12) 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. Adjust the volume of the receiver as per the previous Receiver Operation section. For optimum performance, an INPUT LEVEL

CONTROL (13) 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).

(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

(10)has a factory installed capacitor inside the ¼” 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.)
