Product is for wireless transmission of instrument signals only. Improper use may result in injury or damage.
Keep packaging and small parts away from children to prevent choking hazards. Never let children use electrical devices unattended.
Check frequency regulations in EU member states for audio signal transmission. Report operation to authority if required.
Handle lithium batteries with care to prevent severe injuries from short circuits, overheating, or damage.
Store batteries in a cool, dry place. Avoid deep discharge to prevent permanent damage or capacity loss.
Do not use in direct sunlight, extreme temperatures, high humidity, dusty/dirty areas, wet conditions, or near magnetic fields.
Never use force on controls. Wipe with a clean dry cloth; avoid liquid cleaners.
Avoid operating near radios or TV sets to prevent interference. Increase distance if necessary.
Fully charge batteries before first use. Fold the plug for optimal positioning.
Plug transmitter into instrument, receiver into amplifier/effects unit. Observe LED indicators for connection status.
Switch on devices, select the same channel for transmitter and receiver to establish transmission.
Transmission signals can be received by multiple receivers simultaneously for stereo sound or multiple amplifiers.

The Harley Benton AirBorne Wi-2.4-GHz Instrument is a compact and convenient wireless system designed for the transmission of instrument signals. This plug-n-play set includes both a transmitter and a receiver, making it ready for immediate use. Its primary function is to eliminate the need for cables, offering musicians greater freedom of movement on stage or in the studio.
The system operates on a 2.4 GHz frequency band, ensuring reliable and clear signal transmission. The transmitter plugs directly into your instrument's 1/4" phone socket, while the receiver connects to the 1/4" phone input of an amplifier or effects unit. Both units feature an on/off switch and a channel selector, allowing users to choose from multiple transmission channels to avoid interference. The default setting upon power-up is 'Channel 1', but users can easily switch to a different channel if radio interference is detected.
A key feature of the AirBorne system is its auto sleep/wake-up function, which helps conserve battery life when the device is not actively in use. The LED display on both units provides clear indications of battery status and charging progress. When the device is switched off, the LEDs show the loading progress during charging. Once switched on, the LEDs indicate the current charge level. A low battery warning will appear approximately 10 minutes before the battery is fully depleted, prompting the user to recharge.
The system is designed to handle multiple receivers, meaning a single transmitter can send its signal to several receivers simultaneously. This allows for versatile setups, such as feeding the instrument signal to two amplifiers at once to create a stereo sound image. The compact click system ensures safe transportation of the units when not in use.
To begin using the AirBorne system, users should first fully charge both the transmitter and receiver batteries using the included Duo-pin USB charging cable. This ensures optimal performance and battery life. Once charged, the transmitter is plugged into the instrument, and the receiver into the amplifier or effects unit. Both units are then switched to the ON position.
Selecting the same transmission channel for both the transmitter and receiver is crucial for establishing a stable connection. If the LED indicator on the receiver flashes, it suggests a weak signal, and reducing the distance between the units is recommended. The plug angle of both units is adjustable within a range of 220°, providing flexibility to accommodate various instrument and amplifier designs.
It is important to avoid operating the device near other wireless devices, such as Wi-Fi routers, to prevent interference. Similarly, users should ensure there are no metal objects between the transmitter and receiver that could obstruct the signal. The system is designed for ease of use, offering a straightforward plug-and-play experience without complex setup procedures.
The AirBorne system incorporates built-in, rechargeable lithium batteries, which are a core component of its portable design. Proper handling and storage of these batteries are essential for their longevity and safety. Users should store the devices in a cool, dry place, ideally in their original packaging, and away from direct sunlight or extreme temperatures.
For extended breaks in use, it is recommended to charge the batteries to approximately 50% of their capacity before switching off the device. If stored for longer periods, recharging them to 50% every three months will help prevent deep discharge, which can permanently damage the batteries or reduce their capacity. Full charging should only be done shortly before use and at room temperature.
Cleaning the device is simple: a clean, dry cloth should be used to wipe the units. Liquid cleaners, such as benzene or thinners, or flammable cleaning agents, should never be used. The device should also never be immersed in water. In case of accidental exposure to moisture, ensure the unit is completely dry before use.
The product is designed for durability, but users should avoid using excessive force when operating switches and controls. If the battery housing is damaged and electrolyte leaks out, the battery should be sealed in airtight packaging, and the affected area cleaned thoroughly with cold water while wearing protective rubber gloves. This attention to maintenance ensures the continued safe and effective operation of the Harley Benton AirBorne Wi-2.4-GHz Instrument.
