The Relay G10 Transmitter (G10T) packs lots of technology into a small package to create the easiest to
use and best sounding guitar wireless system in its class. All of the electronics and controls are
integrated into the housing so that the only thing you need to do to use it is plug it into your guitar and
play. There are no power switches, channel settings, level controls, or anything else to have to manage.
Just like a cable, you plug it in, and it works.
To accomplish this, the G10T is designed to be able to automatically power on when plugged into a
guitar, and to be able to automatically sense when it is plugged into the receiver/charger in order to
charge its battery and to automatically pair the radio channel between the transmitter and receiver.
The G10T Power Pin
In order to automatically turn on, the G10T has a small pin that can physically sense when it has been
plugged into a guitar jack. When the G10T is plugged into a guitar jack, the pin is pushed in and the
power will turn on (the light will turn green, assuming that the battery is charged).
A typical guitar output jack, shown at right, has a threaded sleeve, a contact
point to electrically connect to the tip of the plug, and an electrical connection
to the sleeve of the plug. When the G10T is inserted, the power enable pin will
be pushed in by the jack’s sleeve edge, which will turn on the power of the G10T.
If you could “see through” the guitar when plugged in, it would look something like this:
