The JA-01 amplifier operates using a 9V battery. A non-rechargeable 9V battery (6F22 type) is included in the package. To install the battery, open the battery compartment on the back of the unit and insert the 9V battery, ensuring correct polarity. Close the compartment securely.
For rechargeable use, you will need to purchase a separate rechargeable 9V battery and a compatible 9V battery charger. The amplifier itself does not have a built-in charging function for standard 9V batteries.
5.2. Connecting to Your Instrument
Insert the 1/4 inch jack of the JA-01 directly into the output jack of your electric guitar or bass. Ensure it is firmly seated.

6. Operating Instructions
6.1. Powering On and Selecting Effects
Once the amplifier is connected to your instrument and powered by a 9V battery, use the three-position slide switch:
- Slide to "Off" to power down the unit.
- Slide to "Clean" for a clear, un-effected guitar tone.
- Slide to "Distortion" to engage the distortion effect.
The power indicator light will illuminate when the unit is in "Clean" or "Distortion" mode.

If an external audio source is connected to the MP3 IN port, its audio will be mixed with your guitar signal and output through the speaker or headphones. This allows you to practice along with backing tracks or songs.
7. Maintenance

- Storage: When not in use for extended periods, remove the 9V battery to prevent leakage. Store the amplifier in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
