3.1 Charging the Units
Before first use, ensure both the transmitter and receiver are fully charged.
- Connect the supplied USB charging cable to the USB 5V port on both the ARG-06 Transmitter and the ARG-07 Receiver.
- Connect the other end of the USB cable to a standard USB power adapter (not included) or a computer's USB port.
- The battery indicator on the display will show charging status. Charge until the battery icon indicates full charge.
- Note: The ARG-07 Receiver also has a DC IN 9V port for external power during use, but this port cannot be used for charging and should not be used simultaneously with the USB 5V charging port.
3.2 Connecting and Pairing
- Connect Transmitter: Plug the ARG-06 Transmitter into the output jack of your electric guitar or bass.
- Connect Receiver: Connect the ARG-07 Receiver's OUT jack to your amplifier, pedalboard, or audio interface using a standard instrument cable (not included).
- Power On: Press and hold the POWER button on the transmitter and the footswitch on the receiver to turn both units on.
- Pairing: The system should automatically pair. The display on both units will show 'LINK' and a channel number (e.g., 'CHAN 1'). If they do not link automatically, press the 'LINK' button on the receiver and the 'ID' button on the transmitter simultaneously until they pair.
- Channel Selection: The system has 4 available channels. To change the channel, briefly press the 'ID' button on the transmitter. The channel number on both units' displays will change. Ensure both units are on the same channel for proper operation.
4. Operating Instructions
4.1 Basic Operation
- Once paired, the system is ready for use. Play your instrument as usual.
- The maximum transmission range is 20-35 meters in an open area without obstacles. Performance may vary in environments with interference or physical barriers.
4.2 Mute Function
- Press the footswitch on the ARG-07 Receiver to mute or unmute your instrument's signal. This is useful for tuning or switching instruments silently.
4.3 Cable Tone Simulation
- The 'CABLE TONE' knob on the ARG-07 Receiver allows you to simulate the tonal characteristics of a traditional instrument cable. Rotate the knob to adjust the effect to your preference.
4.4 Power Off
- To power off, press and hold the POWER button on the transmitter and the footswitch on the receiver until their displays turn off.
5. Maintenance
- Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the units. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.

8. User Tips
- Optimal Placement: For best performance, try to maintain a clear line of sight between the transmitter and receiver. Avoid placing the receiver directly behind large metal objects or other electronic devices that could cause interference.
- Channel Management: If you experience interference, try switching to a different channel. The 5.8GHz band is generally less congested than 2.4GHz, but local Wi-Fi networks or other wireless devices can still cause issues.
- Battery Life: Keep an eye on the battery indicators on both units. Fully charging before gigs or long practice sessions is recommended. The receiver's larger battery capacity means it will last longer than the transmitter.
- Cable Tone: Experiment with the 'CABLE TONE' knob to find the sound that best suits your instrument and playing style. It can help restore some of the high-end loss sometimes associated with wireless systems.
