Connect the AC adaptor (PSA-S series: sold separately) to the IN jack.

When an AC adapter is used, you can connect a PCS-20A parallel DC cord (sold separately) to supply power to eects processors and other PSA-S adaptor-compatible gear.

* Power cannot be supplied from the OUT jack

when the WL-60 is running on batteries.

* If you use the PCS-20A to supply power to devices

that are compatible with PSA-S adaptors, make sure that the total current consumption of all devices (including the WL-60) does not exceed the maximum output current of the PSA-S series unit you’re using. The maximum output current is listed in the OUTPUT eld of the label axed to the adaptor itself.

Displays information such as the channel and the radio signal strength.

Connect this to your amp or eect unit.

Turning the power on/o

The OUTPUT jack doubles as the power switch. Power to the unit is turned on when you plug into the OUTPUT jack; the power is turned o when the cable is unplugged.

When powering up:

Turn on the power to your amp last.

When powering down:

Turn o the power to your amp rst.

Select the channel or move the cursor.

Selecting the Receiver’s Channel Automatically (Scan Mode)

Scan mode automatically selects the channel that has the least radiofrequency interference.

* Use Scan mode to re-select the channel before your actual live

performance, or when you are in a new location.

* If other wireless systems will be in use nearby, put them in operating

condition.

1. Power-o the transmitter.

2. Press the [SCAN] button to enter scan mode.

The channel with the least radio interference is automatically selected.

Channel with the least radio interference

* If numerous wireless systems or radio devices (such as Wi-Fi routers or

Bluetooth devices) are operating nearby, there might be radio interference on all channels. Power-o unused radio devices, and then use Scan mode once again to select a channel.

MEMO

You can also use the [CH] (C A) buttons to change to another channel.

3. Press the [ENTER] button to conrm the channel.

4. Power-on the transmitter.

Selecting the Receiver’s Channel Manually

If you already know the channel that can be used, you can select the channel manually.

1. Power-o the transmitter.

2. In the Play mode screen, use the [CH] (C A) buttons to

select a channel.

* Note the radio reception strength shown in the display, and select a channel,

avoiding any channel that is used by another WL-60T unit or any channel

that has signicant radio interference (high radio reception strength).

3. Power-on the transmitter.

Selecting the Transmitter’s Channel

1. Press either of the [CH] (C A) buttons to make the

channel appear in the display.

2. Use the [CH] (C A) buttons to select the same channel as

the receiver.

Simulating the Tonal Character of a Guitar Cable (CABLE TONE)

Here’s how to simulate the tonal character of a guitar cable.

1. Press the [CABLE TONE] button to change the setting.

Each time you press the button, the setting alternates in the order of “OFF0SHORT0LONG.”

OFF

O The character of a guitar cable approximately three meters (9.8 feet) long The character of a guitar cable approximately six meters (19.6 feet) long

For Stable Wireless Communication

• Do not place obstructions between the receiver and the transmitter. Do not allow too much distance between the receiver and transmitter.

• Keep the receiver at least three meters (9.8 feet) away from any radio device (*1) or microwave oven.

• Dropouts might occur in the audio if the radio conditions in the area change. Use Scan mode once again to select the channel. If this does not solve the problem, power-o any unused radio device (*1) or microwave oven, and use Scan mode once again to select the channel.

• If you hear the sound of a dierent guitar, use scan mode once again to select a dierent channel. If you're using multiple WL-60T units simultaneously, manually select a channel that does not conict.
