Fine Tuning

The K2100 Receiver has three adjustable controls: Cable Tone, Latency and
Power Save. The default se�ngs will be fine for most situa�ons but if you
want to tweak, this is how to do it.

Microsuction Tape

Here's a piece of 'Microsuc�on Tape'. It'll hold your K1100 Transmi�er in
place on your guitar but will come off easily when you want it to and will
not leave a residue. It uses nano-technology to create thousands of suc�on
cups to s�ck to smooth surfaces.
The tape has a strong acrylic adhesive on one side. Peel the white
backing paper away and use this adhesive to s�ck the tape to the ba�ery
door of the K1100 Transmi�er.

The dark side is the microsuc�on side and has a protec�ve film covering
it. Remove this before use. The tape works best when it's clean. If it gets
dirty, you can remove the ba�ery door and wash it and the Microsuc�on
tape in warm soapy water.

Status Indicators

The K1100 Transmi�er and K2100 Receiver show the state of their wireless
connec�on, signal strength/quality and Transmi�er ba�ery charge.

Bind Transmitter To Receiver

A K1100 Transmi�er and K2100 Receiver must be bound together before
they can connect. The Wireless Guitar System includes devices that are
already bound together. A Transmi�er can only be bound to one receiver at a
�me.
Bind a Transmi�er to a Receiver
by turning both off then turn
them on in turn and set to bind
mode with a double click within
5 seconds. Connec�on LED
double blinks during bind.
An unlimited number of Transmi�ers can be bound to a single Receiver but
only one Transmi�er can connect to a Receiver at a �me. The Receiver will
connect to whichever Transmi�er responds first so simply power OFF
devices that are not being used.

Change Receiver ID

Each K2100 Receiver is programmed with a unique ID that it uses for binding
to Transmi�ers. It is possible (but very unlikely) that systems with similar IDs
can connect to devices that they are not bound to. If this happens, the
Receiver's ID can be changed to one of three alternate IDs. If this is done, it
will be necessary to re-bind Transmi�ers to the Receiver.
Change a Receiver ID by
turning it off then holding the
PRO bu�on while turning it
back on again. The Receiver
will enter bind mode to re-
bind to an Transmi�er.

Radio Interference
Protocol-K uses radio waves in the 2.4 GHz band which is shared with
other technologies such as WiFi, Bluetooth (both on computers, tablets
and cell phones) and other proprietary wireless audio systems. Protocol-K
uses an adap�ve algorithm to select the four cleanest channels for audio
data whilst tes�ng a further four channels as backup from 79 channels
available. It's a very robust system but in an environment with many other
devices transmi�ng, a reliable connec�on cannot be guaranteed.
If you experience high levels of interference and unreliable connec�on, try
the following:
- Check the ba�eries in the transmi�er
- Turn off any unused wireless audio systems (they will be using radio
channels even if not transmi�ng an audio signal)
- Turn off or disable unnecessary WiFi or Bluetooth devices
hold PRO - Increase the distance between compe�ng systems (a minimum of 3m

Ini�alisa�on Error
If the Transmi�er Connec�on LED is on con�nuously (not blinking) or all
three of the Receiver bars are flashing con�nuously this indicates an
ini�alisa�on error. Remove ba�eries from the K1100 and turn off the
K2100. Wait 20 seconds then replace ba�eries and switch on.
