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.

Never use excessive force when installing a circuit board.
When circuit board installation is complete, double-check your work.
●

Wiring for Guitar Battery
If the guitar has a battery for powering the pickup and preamp, install
the wiring from the jack as shown in “Wiring Diagram” (*2).
Even if a plug is not inserted in the jack, when power is applied to the
GK connector, power from the battery is turned on.
* This function is enabled only for the circuit being turned on/off with
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.
