Quick Start
�
Your Hot Hand comes with the following components.
Carrying Case
Hot Hand Extension
Hot Hand Arm Band
4 AA Batteries
01 : Power
The first thing you will need is power. Your Hot Hand
™
unit comes with 4 AA
batteries to get you started. The batteries will typically last about 15 to 20
hours. To avoid concerns about battery life, we recommend you buy a Source
Audio 9V DC power supply (A) (see power supply note on page 14 for exact
requirements).
02 : SENSOR IN connection
Next, connect the supplied EXTENSION CABLE to the SENSOR IN jack (B). Later,
you’ll plug the other end into the wire that trails from the Hot Hand, but hold
off on that for now.
B A
Hot Hand Control Box
03 : Guitar/Audio Connections
Now, you’ll need to make the audio connections. Plug a regular ¼-inch
guitar cable from your guitar into the GUITAR IN jack (C). Connect your amp
(or other audio device) to the GUITAR OUT jack, again with a regular ¼-inch
cable (D).
Note: Plugging a cable into the input will turn the unit on, causing the LEDs

to light up briefly. Don’t forget to turn off the unit by unplugging this cord—
otherwise the battery will continue to drain.
