These sections provide important information concerning the proper operation of the unit. Additionally, in order to feel assured that you have gained a good grasp of every feature provided by your new unit, Owner's manual should be read in its entirety. [. . . ] Step on, and continue depressing the PH-3's pedal switch for at least two seconds. If the pedal switch is pressed when the effect is on, the CHECK indicator goes out, and the effect is turned off for two seconds. If the pedal switch is pressed when the effect is off, the CHECK indicator turns red, and the effect is turned on for two seconds. 2. The CHECK indicator then flashes in red and green, and the tempo can then be set with the effect on. * Here, the tempo is indicated by the value set with the RATE knob. Press the PH-3's pedal switch in timing with the tempo. The CHECK indicator then flashes in red and green in time with the tempo. * For switching without the normal stress and hassle of turning effects on and off, when you go into the tempo setting mode while the effect is on, the effect is first switched off for two seconds, and the PH3 switches to tempo setting mode. * When the pedal switch is pressed, the filter is completely lowered (except when set to RISE or FALL). When using this, even if the RATE (as shown by the flashing CHECK indicator) is off slightly from the tempo, you can match the RATE to the tempo with one step on the PH-3's pedal. 13 Setting the Tempo with the PH-3's Pedal Switch Setting the RATE near the desired tempo beforehand allows you to make faster and more natural tempo settings. Press and continue holding the PH-3's pedal switch for two seconds or longer to finish setting the tempo. The effect goes on, and instead of flashing in red and green, the CHECK indicator will light steadily in red. * When you have finished setting the tempo, the RATE changes to the value for the tempo setting made with the pedal, so the value will differ from the value indicated by the RATE knob. * When changed with the RATE knob, the tempo is then the same as the value for the RATE knob. 14 Using the EXP/CTL Jack * When an EV-5 or FS-5U is connected to the EXP/CTL jack, the PH-3's own pedal switch then only turns the effect on and off. * Be sure to carefully observe the battery's polarity (+ versus -). Slip the coil spring onto the spring base on the back of the pedal, then close the pedal. * Take care not to allow the battery snap cord to become caught in the pedal, coil spring, or other places. Finally, insert the thumbscrew into the guide bush hole and fasten it securely.
