audio output for connection to your mixer with the 3 ft. 1/4” to 1/4” cord

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.)

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.

3. The WGT is now ready to use. The TRANSMITTER SIGNAL RECEIVED LED (5) on
the DKW-1 receiver should now be lit. When ready to perform, slide the transmitter
switch to the ON position and adjust the mixing board volume level as needed.
(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 AUDIO PEAK LED (4) on the DKW-1 receiver will light up with loud audio.
Occasional flickering on and off during use of this top red LED indicator display is
normal, however if the red LED stays on continuously, turn down the instrument
volume or adjust the INPUT LEVEL CONTROL (12) on the WGT transmitter, or
noticeable distortion may result.

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.)
(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 (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
