All of the above functions can be set for either Tip or Ring Mode. However, Ring Mode will have no effect if only one
Foot Switch is connected to the FOOT SW jack. You can then use Tip Mode to select the function you want.
As explained on the previous page, a Stereo Adaptor must be plugged into the FOOT SW jack in order to use a Foot
Switch in Ring Mode. The Foot Switch plugged into the Right receptacle will respond to functions set for Ring Mode.
NOTE: The plug-in receptacles on some commercially available adaptors may be marked TIP and RING for
easier identification. Follow these markings when setting up your Foot Switches.
NOTE: The polarity of the connected Foot Switch(es) is automatically detected when the power to the
instrument is turned “ON.” Therefore, be sure to connect Foot Switches when the power is “OFF.”
