Each unit features a 1/4" jack, power switch, channel selection button, and LED indicators for battery and channel status.

Setup

1. Charging the Units:

The DWS-3 units are equipped with built-in rechargeable lithium batteries. Before initial use, fully charge both the transmitter and receiver.

• Connect the provided USB charging cable to the Micro USB port on each unit.
• Plug the other end of the USB cable into a compatible USB power adapter (not included) or a computer's USB port.
• The charging time is approximately 2 hours for a full charge.
• LED indicators will show charging status and battery level.

2. Connecting to Instrument and Amplifier:

1. Transmitter (DWS-3T): Plug the transmitter into your electric instrument's output jack (e.g., electric guitar, bass, electric-acoustic guitar). The 225° rotatable plug allows for optimal positioning on various instrument body shapes.
2. Receiver (DWS-3R): Plug the receiver into the input jack of your amplifier, effects pedal, or audio interface.

3. Pairing and Channel Selection:

The DWS-3 units are typically pre-paired from the factory. If re-pairing is needed or to change channels:

1. Turn on both the transmitter and receiver using their respective power switches.
2. Press the "CH SEL" (Channel Select) button on both the transmitter and receiver simultaneously until their channel indicators match (CH1, CH2, CH3, or CH4).
3. The units will automatically pair on the selected channel. A solid green light on the RX indicator (receiver) and TX indicator (transmitter) confirms a successful connection.

The DWS-3 supports up to 4 sets of devices working simultaneously. Ensure each set is on a different channel to avoid interference.

Operating Instructions

Once the transmitter and receiver are connected, you can begin playing your instrument wirelessly. The system provides uncompressed signal transmission with minimal latency.

Adjusting the Plug:

The 1/4" plug on both units can rotate 225 degrees. This feature allows you to position the units optimally, preventing them from interfering with your playing or the instrument's controls.

Maintenance

Battery Care:

• To prolong battery life, avoid completely draining the units regularly.
• Charge the units when the battery indicator shows low power.
• If storing the units for an extended period, ensure they are partially charged (around 50%) to prevent battery degradation.

Cleaning:

Wipe the units with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials that could damage the finish.

Troubleshooting

• No Sound/Intermittent Signal:
  • Ensure both units are powered on and fully charged.
  • Verify that the transmitter and receiver are paired to the same channel.
  • Check for potential interference from other wireless devices (Wi-Fi routers, other wireless systems). Try switching to a different channel.
  • Ensure the units are within the 100-foot operating range and there are no major obstructions.
• Static or Noise:
  • Change the operating channel to avoid interference.
  • Ensure the units are not too close to strong electromagnetic fields.
  • Check the instrument's output and amplifier's input for any issues.
• Short Battery Life:
  • Ensure the units are fully charged before use (approx. 2 hours).
  • Battery performance may degrade over time with extensive use.
