Quick Start Steps
1. Remove the Receiver, Transmitter, power supply and guitar cable from the packaging.
2. Place the Receiver in a location where the top of the unit is not obstructed by any
metal, computers, mobile phones or tablets. Ensure that there are no Transmitters
other than the Relay TB516 G in use within 6 feet (2 meters) of the Receiver.
3. Use the supplied USB cable to connect the 5V power supply to the Micro-USB
connection on the Receiver and plug the power supply into an AC outlet.
4. Connect the Receiver’s Output A (1/4”) to your amplier input or the input of the next
pedal on your pedalboard.
5. Turn the power switch on the rear of the Receiver On.
6. Insert 2 fresh AA batteries in the Transmitter.
7. Plug the supplied guitar cable into the Transmitter’s locking connector Input, turning
the locking collar until it is snug (do not over-tighten - the collar just needs to be
secured).
8. Plug the other end of the guitar cable into your guitar.
9. Turn On the Transmitter, check for a green light (yellow or red indicate low battery) and
start playing and enjoying wireless freedom!

The Relay TB516 G Transmitter
1. Battery Status – This LEDilluminates green when the Transmitter is powered On, and more than 1
hour of battery operation time remains. It ashes yellow when less than 1 hour, and ashes red
when less than 30 minutes of battery operation time remain.
Note: Battery operation time is calibrated for 2x AA Alkaline batteries - actual times may vary when using
non-alkaline batteries.
2. Guitar Input – Plug in the included guitar cable here.* To lock the cable, simply plug in the end with
the locking collar and gently twist so that it fastens onto the exposed thread of the Transmitter’s

Relay G70/G75 Advanced Guide
Relay TB516 G Transmitter
If you own more than one Transmitter, it’s a good idea to use one of the dierent colored hex nuts
included in the box to help you easily identify each Transmitter at a glance. Your Relay Receiver’s
Scenes allow you to congure a matching LED color as a reminder for which Transmitter is in use
- see “Changing the Switch Color Ring” on page 5•5.
Remove the existing black nut and replace it with one of the included 6 colored hex nuts
3. Power On/Off – Turns power On when working batteries are installed. The Transmitter will
automatically sync with the Receiver in about 1 second.
4. Antenna – The calibrated internal antenna avoids damage or deformity in normal use. Avoid
covering the antenna with metallic fabrics or accessories, and avoid direct contact with parts
of the performer’s body for best results. Putting the Transmitter in your front pants pocket may
reduce range, so use a back pocket if you don’t want it on the strap or a belt
5. Battery Door Release – Press on both sides of the Transmitter at the same time to open the battery
door. See #11 below for details.
6. Channel Display – Channel 1-16 is indicated after pressing the Channel Select buttons (see #7).
7. Channel Select – Slide the Battery Door (#11) open to access these buttons. Press the p Up or
q Down button once to light the Channel number indicator. Press either Up or Down to change
the Channel. The Channel number will ash in the Channel Display (#6) for 2 seconds* after the
Channel is selected, indicating the Channel change has been executed.
*Note: The transmitted Channel does not immediately change while selecting the Up and Down buttons in
order to avoid conicting with other active Transmitters.
8. Auto-Sleep Switch – Slide the Battery Door (#11) open to access this switch. Place the switch in
the position to enable the Auto-Sleep feature. When enabled, the Transmitter will automatically
go into Standby/Sleep mode after 2 minutes without any movement or audio detected. With
this feature On you can turn down your volume knob and place your guitar in a stand during set
breaks and minimize your battery drain without having to power the Transmitter O.
9. Micro USB – USB connectivity is used for rmware updates, should they be needed in the future.
The latest rmware updates can be found at http://line6.com/software/
10. Battery Compartment – Requires two AA batteries for proper operation.
11. Battery Door – Slides open in 2 stops: the 1st stop allows access to the Channel Select (#7)
buttons and Auto-Sleep Switch (#8), the 2nd stop provides full access to removable batteries.

Relay G70 & G75 Receiver
relay G70 & G75 reCeiver
This Chapter provides details on the features and functionality of the Line 6 Relay® G70 and
G75 Wireless Receivers.
Receiver Features
1. Power: Use this switch to power the Receiver On or O.
2. Micro USB: Use as primary DC (5VDC /1A) power with included cable and AC adapter, and for the
installation of rmware updates.
3. Out A: A 1/4” unbalanced, full-performance output intended to drive a guitar/bass amplier, stomp
box or multi-eects device inputs.
4. Out B: Like Out A, this is a 1/4” unbalanced output, but can be congured separately within your
Scenes - such as for connecting to an additional amplier or separate monitor system.
5. Ground Lift: Toggle this switch to disable pin 1 of the XLR Out C for “ground lift,” which can be used
to remedy grounding noise issues.
6. Out C: An XLR balanced output with ground lift - perfect for connecting to a PA, or other XLR
inputs. This output can be congured separately within your Scenes from Out A and Out B.
7. Tuner Out: A 1/4” output with a guitar level signal. The Tuner Out is always active and cannot be
muted via Scene control, which is intended for connecting to a separate Tuner. Note that your
Relay Receiver also includes its own built-in Tuner - see page 5•13.

Relay G70/G75 Advanced Guide
Relay G70 & G75 Receiver
8. Aux In: An Auxiliary Input for wired performance - handy for keeping another guitar plugged in, or
as a “safety net” in case of forgotten or failing Transmitter batteries. The default mode for the Aux In is “Always On,” as set in the global preferences. In this mode the Aux In is active in any Scene where the assigned Transmitter is O, or in any Scene where the Aux In is set as the Channel
input. If the global preference is set to “Scene Only” the Aux In will only be active in Scenes
where it is the designated Channel input.
9. Home Button: This navigation button returns the LCD to home screen display content. See “The
Home Screen” on page 4•3.
10. Nav/Select Encoder: This is your primary navigation control. Rotate the Encoder knob to choose a
selection - push it to activate the current selection. When the Home Screen is displayed, the
Encoder allows you to scroll up or down through all the Scenes you have created. Press the
Encoder to activate a Scene. Also see “Edit Mode” on page 5•1 for details on navigating the
editable parameters for your device.
11. Edit Button: Press to enter Edit Mode where you can access Scene and Input parameters. See
“Edit Mode” on page 5•1.
12. Select/Mute Switch: Use this footswitch (G70) or button (G75) to cycle sequentially through existing
Scenes. Press and hold the switch for 2 seconds to Mute all outputs and/or activate the internal
Tuner.
Note: The Receiver’s built-in Tuner is available only when nothing is plugged into the Tuner Output.
13. Switch Color Ring: The color of this LED ring surrounding the Select/Mute switch is user-dened per
Scene, providing a visual indicator for which Transmitter is currently active - see the Transmitter
details on page 3•1.
The Color Ring maintains steady brightness when the RF signal is good and ickers whenever
the RF reception is poor. It also blinks to indicate several dierent states - see “Edit Mode” on
page 5•1 for details.
14. LCD Display: This monochrome LCD is the main information source for your wireless setup. Its
Home Screen displays active Transmitter Channel or Input, active Output Routing and Battery
Life. Its Edit Mode screen displays settings for cable tone, gain, and other preferences.
15. 9VDC Input: Optional 9VDC 500mA DC.
Note: The compatible Line 6 DC-1g or DC-3g 9V power supplies are available separately from your Line 6
dealer, or from the Line 6 Online Store.
16. Audio LED: Lights green to indicate audio reception. Lights red to indicate clipping. The Audio
LED is also utilized as a tuning indicator when your Receiver is in Tuner Mode - It turns red when
sharp or at, and green when within ± 3 cents of the target note (see page 5•13 for more about
the built-in Tuner).
17. Remote (G75 only): Connect a momentary footswitch* to provide foot-operated Scene changes,
similar to the footswitch functionality on the G70.
*Works with either momentary closed or open footswitch types. The Remote jack automatically detects
when a footswitch is connected, and can detect polarity switch changes as well.
