ter and the frequency selector on the SR 40 FLEXX
receiver to the same positions (1 - 1, 2 - 2, or

gain control (4) on the transmitter to a position
halfway between the left and right stops.

the way CW and play a few bars.
6. If your instrument sounds distorted turn the
input gain control (4) down CCW to the point
that you will hear no more distortion.
If your instrument sounds too quiet, turn the
input gain control (4) up CW. As soon as your
instrument sound becomes distorted, turn the
input gain control (4) back down CCW to the
point that the distortion will stop.

4.3 Instruments with Recessed Output Jacks

(refer to fig. 4 on page 16)
If your instrument has a recessed output jack, the
jack plug on the transmitter may be too short to
make contact be tween the instrument and trans-
mitter.
In this case, mount the supplied long adapter plug:
1. Unscrew the jack plug (1) from the transmitter
(2) CCW.
