Guidelines for using the KT
Temperature Guidelines
The inner workings of the KT contain a substantial amount of computerized and electronic
circuitry that can be susceptible to damage when exposed to extreme temperature changes.
When the KT is brought inside after sitting in a cold climate (i.e. the back seat of your car),
condensation builds up on the internal circuitry in much the same way a pair of glasses fogs up
when you come inside on a cold day. If the unit is powered up as this condensation occurs,
components can short out or be damaged. Excessively high temperatures also pose a threat to the
unit, stressing both the internal circuits as well as the case. With this in mind, it is highly
advisable to follow these precautions when storing and setting up your KT:
• Avoid leaving the KT in temperatures of less than 50 degrees Fahrenheit or more than 100
degrees Fahrenheit.
• When bringing the KT indoors after travel, allow the unit at least twenty minutes to reach room
temperature before powering up. In the case of excessive outdoor temperatures (below 50
degrees Fahrenheit or above 100 degrees Fahrenheit), allow an hour or more before power up.
• Avoid leaving the KT inside a vehicle exposed to direct sunlight.
Amplification Guidelines
Connect the Audio Outputs of the KT to the line level inputs of a mixer, instrument amplifier,
stereo, or any other sound system, using 1/4 inch audio cables. If your system is stereo, connect
the Left and Right Audio Outputs to two channels of your mixer, stereo, etc. and pan them hard
left and hard right respectively. If it’s mono, use either of the Audio Output jacks, but make sure
nothing is plugged into the other output. For listening through headphones, plug the
headphones into the Phones jack located on the front of the unit near the Pitch and Modulation
wheels.

It is a good idea to make sure your audio system is turned off (or down) when making
connections, to avoid damaging speakers or other components.
