Charging the ring

Before using your new Hot Hand 3 Universal Wireless Effects Controller
you should fully charge the ring battery. The ring uses a small and
lightweight Lithium Polymer rechargeable battery. To charge the ring
battery, first plug the DC adapter power supply into a standard electri­cal outlet. Next plug the DC adapter into the small jack on the plastic
end of the ring. When fully charged, the ring will operate for around
6 hours. Charging time will be between 1 and 1.5 hours. While the ring
is charging, the blue LED on the top will blink quickly. When the charge
is completed the LED will turn off.

Connections

The receiver can be connected to any effects pedal that has the ap­propriate input jacks. This includes the Sensor Input or Multi-Function
Input on all Soundblox pedals and any other manufacturer’s pedal
that has a 1⁄4-inch expression input. If the receiver is connected via
the SA160 sensor cable, it will be powered through this connection. In
order to send an output signal on the Expression Output, the receiver
unit will need powered by the included DC adapter power supply.
The knobs and MODE LED will be illuminated when the receiver is
powered. The blue STATUS LED on the face of the receiver will blink
indicating that the receiver is looking for a ring to pair up with.
