Receiver (WL-60)
No. Name Explanation
1 IN jack
Connect the AC adaptor (PSA-S series: sold
separately) to the IN jack.
2 OUT jack
When an AC adapter is used, you can connect
a PCS-20A parallel DC cord (sold separately) to
supply power to effects processors and other PSA-S
adaptor-compatible gear.
* Power cannot be supplied from the OUT jack
when the WL-60 is running on batteries.
* If you use the PCS-20A to supply power to devices
that are compatible with PSA-S adaptors, make
sure that the total current consumption of all
devices (including the WL-60) does not exceed
the maximum output current of the PSA-S series
unit you’re using. The maximum output current is
listed in the OUTPUT field of the label affixed to
the adaptor itself.
3 Display
Displays information such as the channel and the
radio signal strength.
4 OUTPUT jack
Connect this to your amp or effect unit.
Turning the power on/off
The OUTPUT jack doubles as the power switch.
Power to the unit is turned on when you plug into
the OUTPUT jack; the power is turned off when the
cable is unplugged.
When powering up:
Turn on the power to your amp last.
When powering down:
Turn off the power to your amp first.

Selecting the Receiver’s Channel Automatically (Scan
Mode)
Scan mode automatically selects the channel that has the least radio-
frequency interference.
* Use Scan mode to re-select the channel before your actual live
performance, or when you are in a new location.
* If other wireless systems will be in use nearby, put them in operating
condition.
1. Power-off the transmitter.
2. Press the [SCAN] button to enter scan mode.
The channel with the least radio interference is automatically selected.
Channel with the least radio interference
* If numerous wireless systems or radio devices (such as Wi-Fi routers or
Bluetooth devices) are operating nearby, there might be radio interference
on all channels. Power-off unused radio devices, and then use Scan mode
once again to select a channel.
MEMO
You can also use the [CH] ( C A ) buttons to change to another channel.
3. Press the [ENTER] button to confirm the channel.
4. Power-on the transmitter.
Selecting the Receiver’s Channel Manually
If you already know the channel that can be used, you can select the channel
manually.
1. Power-off the transmitter.
2. In the Play mode screen, use the [CH] ( C A ) buttons to
select a channel.
* Note the radio reception strength shown in the display, and select a channel,
avoiding any channel that is used by another WL-60T unit or any channel
that has significant radio interference (high radio reception strength).
3. Power-on the transmitter.
Selecting the Transmitter’s Channel
1. Press either of the [CH] ( C A ) buttons to make the
channel appear in the display.
2. Use the [CH] ( C A ) buttons to select the same channel as
the receiver.
Simulating the Tonal Character of a Guitar Cable
(CABLE TONE)
Here’s how to simulate the tonal character of a guitar cable.
1. Press the [CABLE TONE] button to change the setting.
Each time you press the button, the setting alternates in the order of
“OFF 0 SHORT 0 LONG.”
OFF Off
SHORT
The character of a guitar cable approximately three meters (9.8
feet) long
LONG
The character of a guitar cable approximately six meters (19.6
feet) long
For Stable Wireless Communication
• Do not place obstructions between the receiver and the transmitter. Do
not allow too much distance between the receiver and transmitter.
• Keep the receiver at least three meters (9.8 feet) away from any radio
device (*1) or microwave oven.
• Dropouts might occur in the audio if the radio conditions in the area
change. Use Scan mode once again to select the channel.
If this does not solve the problem, power-off any unused radio device (*1)
or microwave oven, and use Scan mode once again to select the channel.
• If you hear the sound of a different guitar, use scan mode once again
to select a different channel. If you're using multiple WL-60T units
simultaneously, manually select a channel that does not conflict.
