of the battery, pull out the plug connected to the OUTPUT jack when
you're not using the RC-2.
* Do not connect headphones to the OUTPUT jack. Doing so
may damage the headphones.

Connect your guitar, bass, or other instrument here.
* The input to AUX IN is muted whenever a cable is
connected to the INPUT jack.

you can connect two FS-5Us or an FS-6.
