Supplying

Power

to

Your

Guitar

In

addition

to

being

a

“normal”

electric

guitar,

your

PG

guitar

features

a

built-in

sound

source

which

produces

64

preset

tones

as

well

as

MIDI

circuitry.

Be-

cause

of

this,

the

PG

Guitar

re-

quires

electricity

for

operation.

To

power

the

PG

guitar,

you

can

connect

an

optional

AC

adaptor

(AD-5),

or

use

6

AA

(R6P/SUM-3)

batteries.

When.

you're

not

using

the

preset

tones,

or

your

guitar

as

a

MIDI

con-

troller,

batteries

or

AC

power

are

not

necessary.

When

changing

batteries,

be

sure

to

replace

all

6

at

the

same

time.

If

battery

power

is

too

weak,

your

guitar’s

functions

may

operate

abnormally

When

battery

power

weakens,

the

LED

display

starts

flashing.

Within

approximately

15

minutes,

the

power

is

automati-

cally

cut

off

to

prevent

malfune-

tion

caused

by

weakened

batteries.

whenever

they

become

worn

or

lose

their

brilli-

ance

(hopefully

before

they

be-

corroded

or

You'll

find that

fresh

strings

not

sound

better,

they're

easier

to

keep

in

tune

as

well

(once

they’ve

gotten

past

the

initial

“stretching”

stage).

They're

also

easier

to

play

than

old

ones.

When

you've

finished

playing,

be

sure

to

wipe

the

strings

and

frets

with

a

dry

cloth

to

prevent

The

Basics

You

can

tune

each

string

by

playing

it

open

or

at

the

octave

(12th

fret).

For

increased

ac-

curacy,

you

might

find

it

best

to

tune

each

string

open

first,

then

check

the

tuning

at

the

12th

fret

and

sary

It’s

important

to

note

that

each

time

a

string’s

pitch

is

raised

550

cents

over

its

standard

tuning,

the

tuner

automatically

“shifts”

into

the

next

octave.

Because

of

this,

if

@

string

is

al-

ready

sharp

(when

the

“#”

in-

dicator

is

lit)

and

you

continue

to

raise

its

tuning,

the

“b”

indi-

cator

will

light

and

the

“2”

indi-

cator

will

go

out.

This

is

because

you

have

exceeded

the

530

limit

and

the

is

for

octave

up.

When
