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 ashing connuously this indicates an
inialisaon error. Remove baeries from the K1100 and turn othe
K2100. Wait 20 seconds then replace baeries and switch on.
Get Started
1. Insert 2xAAA baeries provided into the K1100 Transmier
2. Plug the Transmier into instrument
3. Press and hold the Transmier buon for 1 second to turn ON or OFF
4. Plug DC adapter into K2100 Receiver
5. Connect Receiver to amp
6. Turn on Receiver

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 o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 rst 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.

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 o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 lm 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.
Trouble Shooting
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 oany unused wireless audio systems (they will be using radio
channels even if not transming an audio signal)
- Turn oor disable unnecessary WiFi or Bluetooth devices
- Increase the distance between compeng systems (a minimum of 3m
separaon is recommended)
- Ensure there are no large metal objects between transmier and receiver
- Move the receiver away from large metal objects
- Reduce the distance between transmier and receiver
No Sound from Amp
- Check that there are fresh baeries in the Transmier and the system is
wired correctly (see GET STARTED)
- Check that Transmier and Receiver are 'Connected' (see STATUS
INDICATORS)

The K2100 Receiver has three adjustable controls: Cable Tone, Latency and
Power Save. The default sengs will be ne for most situaons but if you

2. Cable Tone
Cables aect guitar
tone subtly by the way
they load the pickups.
The result is a cut in
the highs. The Classic
has no cable so may
sound brighter than
you're used to. If you
want a warmer tone,
increase this control.
3. Latency
The me it takes to
send the sound from
your guitar to your
amp is always very
short (8ms) but can be
made even shorter
(5ms) with this control.
Only recommended for
low interference
environments.

3. Interference

Interference can come
from WiFi, Bluetooth
& other 2.4 GHz
devices. Protocol-K
moves quickly away
from channels that
have high interference
but if there's nowhere
leto go, you'll see
more red bars and
connecon will
become unstable.
4. Baery Charge
Bars show the

A single blinking bar
shows you're almost
out and the
Transmier will shut
