Battery Power
The batteries for the Rare Earth™ are conveniently mounted to the underside
of the pickup. You can expect over 300 hours of battery life (150 hours for the
Rare Earth™ Blend) between battery changes. When you begin to hear dis-
tortion through the pickup, it’s time to change the batteries.
Battery Replacement
Remove the pickup from the instrument and carefully pry out the batteries
with a small flat-head jeweler’s screwdriver. When you replace the
batteries, be sure to observe the correct polarity. Note that plus (+) and
minus (-) polarity marks are molded into the shell of the battery clip.

Pickup
The Rare Earth™ has been carefully voiced to reproduce a balanced string
to string response. If your guitar has very high action on the bass side or very
low action on the treble side, you may hear slight imbalance between the out-
side strings. To attain a balanced response in these cases, raise the bass
side of the pickup with a shim.
The Rare Earth™ is voiced specifically for bronze or phosphor bronze strings.
If nickel electric guitar strings are used with the Rare Earth™, the lower
wound strings will overpower the higher plain strings.
