2.4 Description
The GB 40 is a WMS 40 microtools Series minia-
ture transmitter that has been specifically designed
for electric guitars and basses but is also suited for
keyboards.
The transmitter features a permanently attached,
swiveling 1/4" jack plug that allows you to plug the
transmitter directly into the output jack of your
instrument. A built-in spring presses the transmit-
1 black bat-
ter against the instrument to hold it securely in
tery com-
place. The bottom of the transmitter is fitted with a
partment lid
soft plastic pad that will leave no trace on the
instrument.
The GB 40 operates on a single fixed, quartz stabi-
lized carrier frequency in the 710 MHz to 865 MHz
UHF band and uses a permanently attached flexi-
ble antenna.
The color of the battery cover indicates the carrier
frequency of your transmitter (refer to the Manual
Supplement). You can replace the color code bat-
tery cover with the supplied black replacement
cover.
