Note: Battery operation time is calibrated for 2x AA Alkaline batteries

- actual times may vary when using non-alkaline batteries.

2. Guitar Input – Plug the included guitar cable here. To lock the cable,
simply plug in the end with the locking collar and gently twist the
collar so it threads onto the exposed thread of the transmitter’s input
jack, DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN. To unlock, spin the collar counter­clockwise and pull the plug out.

Note: You can use regular ¼" guitar cables as well.

Remove the existing black nut and replace it with one of the included
5 colored marker 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.

5. Battery Door Release – Press on both sides of the transmitter at the
same time to open the battery door. See #11 below for more details.

6. Channel Display – Channel 1-16 is indicated after pressing either

channel select button (7).

7. Channel Select – Press the Up or Down button next to the channel

display once to light the channel number indicator. Press either Up

or Down to change the channel. The channel number will ash 2

seconds after the channel is selected indicating the channel change

has been executed.

Note: The transmitted channel does not change while selecting the

Up and Down buttons in order to avoid conicting with other active

transmitters.

8. Auto-Sleep Switch – Place the switch in the position to enable this

feature. If enabled the transmitter will automatically go into standby/

sleep mode after two 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 turn the transmitter o.

9. Micro USB – USB connectivity used for rmware updates should they
be needed in the future. Visit http://line6.com/software/

10. Battery Compartment – Requires two AA batteries for proper operation.

11. Battery Door – Slides open in 2 stops: 1st stop allows access to the

channel selection buttons and sleep switch, the 2nd stop provides
full access to removable batteries.

indicate clipping.

16. Remote (G75 only) – Connect a momentary closed footswitch to
provide foot operated scene changes similar to the footswitch on
the G70.

Adding a New Transmitter Using Auto Scan

The G70/75 Receivers provide performers the ability to switch between

multiple transmitters with the push of a switch. This is very helpful in

allowing performers to switch instruments quickly and safely without
having to worry about turning transmitters on and o. The procedure

below will show you how to set up a new transmitter using the AUTO
scan function:

• In the Edit menu select ADD SCENE and press the encoder

• Rotate the encoder until AUTO appears and press the encoder

• The display will instruct you to turn the transmitter o so it can do a

clean scan

• When the power is o on the new transmitter select NEXT and press

the encoder

• The receiver will scan the spectrum, recommend a clean channel,

then prompt you to turn on the transmitter and set the channel

• When nished select and press NEXT then OK to exit. Note you can

select a channel directly without scanning as well (see "Adding a
New Transmitter Manually").

Adding a New Transmitter Manually

The G70 and G75 Receivers provide performers the ability to switch
between multiple transmitters with the push of a switch. This is very

helpful in allowing performers to switch instruments quickly and safely
without having to turn transmitters on and o. The only requirement for
this workow is that each of the transmitters be on a separate channel.
The steps below will show experienced wireless users how to set up a

new transmitter using the manual mode (no scan):

• In the Edit menu select “Add Scene?” and press the Encoder.

• Turn the Encoder to select the desired channel.

• Press the Encoder to add the new Transmitter and create a new

scene.

Adding New Scenes for a Single Transmitter

The user interface for the G70 and G75 is designed to allow performers

to make quick input and output changes via a single switch or button.
Each scene stores a unique combination of input sources (Transmitter
1- Transmitter X, plus Aux In) and output destinations (Output A, B, C or

any combination of A, B and C at the same time (see Edit Menu section

for details). To add a new scene for an existing Transmitter, follow the
instructions for “Adding a New Transmitter Manually” and set the channel
to the same number in each scene. Use the EDIT menu to make any

changes in gain, cable tone or output routing for the new scene. You can
also rename each scene to help you remember what it is for.

To make sure you have Channels available on stage when other Line 6

wireless gear is used, try the following settings.
