Changing The Gibson G Force Battery; Overview: How To Choose, Access, And Edit Advanced Functions - Gibson G FORCE Owner's Manual

Changing the Gibson G FORCE Battery

A fully-charged battery provides approximately 100 tunings—more if you're just "touching up." Please
read Appendix 5 (page 27) for information about proper battery care and charging.
To remove the battery: The battery compartment is located in the Gibson G FORCE controller on the
back of the headstock. Push down on the rectangle that's visible at the top of the controller (between
rd th
the machine heads for the 3 and 4 strings). The battery will pop up slightly. Note the groove facing
outward at the top of the battery, and use it to pull the battery out of its compartment.
To insert the battery: Never force the battery into its compartment. If it does not insert easily, it is not
being inserted correctly.
Insert the battery with its two metal contacts facing outward and away from the headstock, and the pins
pointing downward into the compartment. Push downward gently on the top of the battery until you
hear/feel a click. If the top of the battery is flush with the top of the controller, it's seated correctly.

Overview: How to Choose, Access, and Edit Advanced Functions

Gibson G FORCE™ is easy to use. The most common functions—tuning a guitar to standard and alternate
th
tunings—take a few button presses. The string LEDs (from "E" for the 6 , lowest-pitched string to "e" for
st
the 1 , highest-pitched string) show the system status.
Gibson G FORCE stores standard, alternate, and custom tunings in presets. Each preset contains a
tuning. This can be a factory default tuning, or a custom tuning you create and store.
Follow the simple instructions in the Quick Start guide, and your guitar will always be in tune.
