4. Operating Instructions
4.1 Channel Selection
The Relay G10S offers both automatic and manual frequency selection for optimal performance.
- Automatic: When the transmitter is docked in the receiver, the system automatically scans for the clearest of 11 available channels.
- Manual: Use the CHANNEL knob on the receiver to manually select a channel (1-11) if you prefer to choose a specific frequency or avoid interference from other wireless systems.
Figure 4.1: The channel selection knob on the Relay G10S receiver allows for automatic or manual frequency tuning.
4.2 Battery Management
The G10T transmitter features a built-in rechargeable battery providing up to 6 hours of active use. A sleep mode extends battery life to 150 hours when no audio is detected for 4 minutes. The transmitter automatically wakes up when you start playing.

4.3 Cable Tone Simulation
Guitar cables can attenuate high frequencies. The Relay G10S provides a crystal-clear tone with all frequencies intact. If you prefer the sound characteristics of a 10-foot or 30-foot cable, you can activate the Cable Tone switch on the rear of the receiver to simulate this effect.
4.4 Instrument Swapping
The audio is automatically muted when you pull out the transmitter from your instrument, allowing for clean and silent instrument swapping without unwanted pops or noise.
5. Maintenance
5.1 Cleaning
Wipe the unit with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
5.2 Storage
Store the Relay G10S in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Ensure the transmitter is docked in the receiver for charging and to prevent loss.
6. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| No Sound | Transmitter not charged or not properly inserted. Incorrect channel selected. Receiver not powered. | Ensure transmitter is charged and fully inserted into instrument. Check receiver power. Select an auto-assigned channel or manually select a clear channel. |
| Interference/Dropouts | Nearby wireless devices or strong RF signals. Obstructions between transmitter and receiver. | Change to a different channel using the CHANNEL knob. Ensure clear line-of-sight between transmitter and receiver. Move away from other wireless devices. |
| Short Battery Life | Transmitter not fully charged. Constant active use without sleep mode. | Ensure transmitter is fully charged by docking it in the receiver until all three green LEDs are solid. Allow transmitter to enter sleep mode during breaks to conserve power. |
