B, C, and D TRS sockets are wiring thru-connections from the front of MOD 4 to the corresponding sockets on the back. This allows you to connect your pedals permanently underneath the board, so you only have to connect cables to and from the front of the board, instead of having to route underneath it when setting it up for a gig.

Wireless System

The RockBoan1° MOD 4 features a completely Independent wireless system that can be used with the patchbay module. To use the wireless system, follow the quick start Instructions:

• Connect a 9V DC power supply with 2.1 x S5 mm barrel plug, polarity(-) center, min.S00 mA to the power Input of the MOD4 and switch the MODon.
• Connect you ramp, effects pedals etc. to the 6.3 mm/¼’TSReceiver Output
• Plug the XVove U2Transmitter into the output jack of your instrument.
• Tum the XVM! U2Transmitter on and check the blue LEO light flashing times and make sure the blue LED lights show the same flashing pattern. This means transmitter and receiver are both in the same channel. After a successful connection the blue channel LED light up permanently.
• Start playing!

hsk Operation and StatusLEDs

The xvove U2Transmitter has two status LEDs, a red power/ battery LED and a blue channel/ signal indicator LEO. A permanent red LEO Indicates that the power is on, a flashing red LED indicates that the battery needs to be charged. While charging, the red LEO will stop flashing and tum off when the transmitter Is completely charged. When the power Is on, the blue LED will flash to Indicate the set channel. If you use the channel select function, the blue LEO will flash to Indicate the channel:

• Channel 1 – The channel/ signal indicator LEO will flash once.
• Channel 2 – The channel/ signal indicator LEO will flash twice.
• Channel 3 – The channel/ signal Indicator LEO will flash three times.
• Channel 4- The channel/ signal Indicator LEO will flash four times.

The blue channel LED on the MOD 4 will light up permanently when the transmitter and the receiver are connected. If the blue LED on the MOD 4 starts to blink, the signal Is weak or disturbed.
