Roland Musical Instrument GK KIT GT3 User Guide

Instruction Manual  
Thank you for purchasing the Roland GK-KIT-GT3, a divided pickup kit. The GK-KIT-GT3 is a specialized kit for internal installation of  
the guitar divided pickup.  
To ensure proper installation – which is critical – and operation, please read this manual carefully.  
IMPORTANT NOTES  
In addition to the items listed under “USING THE UNIT SAFELY,” please read and observe the following:  
351  
Using the unit near power amplifiers (or other equipment  
containing large power transformers) may induce hum.  
Be sure to use the special cable supplied by us to connect the GK-  
KIT-GT3 to the GK-compatible device for guitar. Use of any other  
cable may cause unnecessary problems.  
352b Noise may be produced if wireless communications devices, such  
as cell phones, are operated in the vicinity of this unit. Such noise  
could occur when receiving or initiating a call, or while conversing.  
GK-KIT-GT3 cannot be used with guitars that have unusual or  
customized string setups, or guitars strung with nylon, rubber, or  
other non-metallic strings.  
402  
Never use benzine, thinners, alcohol or solvents of any kind, to  
avoid the possibility of discoloration and/or deformation.  
556  
When connecting / disconnecting all wirings, grasp the connector  
itself---never pull on the cable. This way you will avoid causing  
shorts, or damage to the cable's internal elements.  
901(FV) euillez suivre attentivement les instructions suivantes quand  
vous manipulez la carte afin d'éviter tout risque d'endom-  
magement des pièces internes par l'électricité statique.  
901  
To avoid the risk of damage to internal components that can be  
caused by static electricity, please carefully observe the following  
whenever you handle the board.  
Toujours toucher un objet métallique relié à la terre (comme un  
tuyau par exemple) avant de manipuler la carte pour vous  
décharger de l'électricité statique que vous auriez pu accumuler.  
Lorsque vous manipulez la carte, la tenir par les côtés. Évitez  
de toucher aux composants ou aux connecteurs.  
Avant de connecter tout câble, assurez-vous qu'il ne contient  
aucune charge d'électricité statique. De telles charges peuvent  
être transmises, par exemple, si l'autre extrémité du câble  
touche à un tapis (ou autre objet) où il y a accumulation  
d'électricité statique.  
Before you touch the board, always first grasp a metal object  
(such as a water pipe), so you are sure that any static electricity  
you might have been carrying has been discharged.  
When handling the board, grasp it only by its edges. Avoid  
touching any of the electronic components or connectors.  
Before you connect any cables, make sure they do not carry a  
static electricity charge. Such charges can be transmitted, for  
example, if the other end of the cable has been in contact with a  
carpet (or other object) where there is a static electricity buildup.  
Save the bag in which the board was originally shipped, and put  
the board back into it whenever you need to store or transport it.  
Conservez le sachet d'origine dans lequel était la carte lors de  
l'envoi et remettez la carte dedans si vous devez la ranger ou la  
transporter.

the battery’s negative terminal.  
* This wiring is not necessary for guitars without internal batteries.  
* This wiring is for switching the battery on and off; it is not used for  
supplying power to the guitar.  
* A current of 500 mA or less can be switched ON/OFF using  
this circuit. Please use due caution; if current consumption exceeds  
500 mA, this circuit cannot be used.
