Q: How should I make settings when using an external effect pedal?
A:
In BOSS TONE STUDIO for WAZA-AIR, set TRANSMITTER'S STANDBY SETTING to "SOUND
SENSING."
As described in "Connecting the BOSS TONE STUDIO iOS/Android App to the WAZA-AIR Unit"
(PDF), connect the WAZA-AIR and BOSS TONE STUDIO.
- Start "BOSS TONE STUDIO for WAZA-AIR" app.
- Tap "≡ (SYSTEM)."

Reconnect the transmitter to the transmitter in of the WAZA-AIR unit, and
perform the Auto Wireless Connection operation.
Q: When I play my guitar with the transmitter plugged in, sound is not heard from the WAZA-AIR.
A:
If reconnecting the transmitter to your guitar does not solve the problem, check
the state of radio reception.
-

Lit white: Reception is occurring
Unlit: Transmitter is not connected
Q: The stereo position of the sound gradually drifts.
A:
If you move your head in any direction other than horizontal rotation (such as
moving your head up and down), the position of the sound might drift. If this
occurs, press the WAZA-AIR unit’s up/down buttons simultaneously to reset the
sound position to its default state.
Do not move the WAZA-AIR unit immediately (approximately one second) after turning
on its power. Observing this will improve the accuracy of the gyro sensor built
into the WAZA-AIR unit, making it less likely that the position will drift.
Q: Even when I change the orientation of the WAZA-AIR, the GYRO AMBIENCE POSITION does not change.
A:
Q: Can an accidentally overwritten preset patch be restored?
A:
Yes.
You can use the following procedure to restore it.
- Start "BOSS TONE STUDIO for WAZA-AIR" app.
- Tap the "TONE CENTRAL."

-
Select the patch that you want to restore, and tap the [ADD] button.
-
When the "Completed!!" indication appears, tap the [OK] button.
- Tap the [LIBRARIAN] button.
-
In the upper part of the screen, tap the [EXPORT] button.

Q: Can I use the headphones while charging them?
A:
No.
They cannot be used during charging.
Q: What mobile devices can the BOSS TONE STUDIO app be used with?

It can be used with the following mobile devices.
iOS: iOS 10.0 or later. Compatible with iPhone, iPad, and iPod
touch.
Android: 5.1 or later.
Q: How can I check the serial number?
A:
To check the serial number, detach the ear pad of the R side.
- The serial number is a seven-digit alphanumeric string that contains alphabetical
letters.
- Since the ear pads are attached by magnets, they can be detached by pulling
them lightly.
Q: The Bluetooth audio volume adjusted by the Bluetooth multi-function button (+/-) does not match the volume value on the mobile device.
A:
Since the volume adjustment uses an optimal curve*, it will not match the volume
value on the mobile device.
Example: Finer volume adjustments are possible near the minimum value
Q: When I switch effect patches, "COMMUNICATION ERROR" appears.
A:
Q: I can't use the Bluetooth multi-function button to control the app (e.g., play/stop).
A:
Apps that do not support Bluetooth AVRCP cannot be controlled by the Bluetooth
multi-function button.
In some cases, playback in the browser might operate differently than the dedicated
app.
Q: The guitar sound contains high-frequency noise.
A:
It could be possible that the noise occurs because the guitar's internal circuitry
and battery are too close to the transmitter (WL-T).
As shown in the figure below, make the connection to the guitar using a Mono
Patch Cable (1/4" (M) - 1/4" (M)) and a Mono or Stereo Adapter (1/4" (F) - 1/4"
(F)).
Q: The transmitter's battery indicator is blinking red.
A:
A charging error occurred.
When the internal temperature of the transmitter or the ambient temperature rises,
charging might temporarily stop in order to protect the rechargeable lithium-ion
battery.
- When the internal temperature of the transmitter decreases, the BATTERY indicator
changes to being lit orange, and charging resumes.
- Use the unit in the recommended ambient temperature range of "10℃-30℃."
- If the blinking state does not change, contact your dealer or a service center
to have the unit repaired.
Q: Is it possible for me to replace the lithium-ion battery of the transmitter or receiver myself?
A:
No.
The battery is not user-replaceable.
If the transmitter or receiver can no longer be charged, or if the remaining
battery capacity declines quickly after charging, contact your dealer or a service
center to have the unit repaired.
Q: Is it possible for me to replace the headband myself?
A:
No.
If you need to have the headband replaced, contact your dealer or a service center
to have the unit repaired.
Q: Can this also be used for bass guitar?
A:
Yes.
In the dedicated "BOSS TONE STUDIO" app (iOS, Android), set AMP TYPE to "FLAT/BASS/ACOUSTIC."
Q: What kind of guitars can the transmitter (WL-T) be used with?
A:
It is installable on general guitars (Stratocaster type, Telecaster type, Les
Paul type, SG type, electric acoustic guitars, and the like).
Note, however, that in the case of guitars that have special output specifications,
sound might not be produced, or installation might be physically impossible.
Symptoms and their causes for respective different specifications, along with
remedies, are highlighted below.
Some guitars equipped with active pickups
Symptom: No sound is produced. Guitar audio includes a thumping sound.
Cause: In the active circuits that guitars have, generally, TRS jack output is
wired so that the tip is audio, the sleeve is the ground, and the ring is for
the battery ground, but in some cases, there are guitars on which the ring and
sleeve wiring is reversed (shown below).
Remedy: Try making the connection shown in remedy A or remedy B.
Some guitars on which installation is not possible
Symptom: The WL-T cannot be physically installed on the guitar.
Cause: Installation is impossible if the area at the mounting jack lacks enough
space for attaching the transmitter (a cylindrical space measuring 18.5 mm in
diameter and 5 mm deep).
Remedy: Try making the connection shown in remedy B.
YAMAHA Silent Guitar
Symptom: No sound is produced. The guitar is not powered.
Cause: The electrical wiring has special specifications, and so the no operation
is possible without below remedy.
Remedy: Try making the connection shown in remedy A or remedy B in the figures
above.
Instruments whose OUTPUT jack is stereo 1/4-inch phone type (TRS 1/4-inch phone type)
Symptom: Only the L-side signal is output.
Cause: The WL-T has monaural specifications, and so only the L-side (tip-side)
signal is output.
Remedy: Because of the specifications, no remedy is available.
If remedies A and B do not correct the problem, try repeating the procedure below.
-
Remove the batteries or disconnect the power adapter from the guitar.
-
Attach the jack adapter plug to the transmitter and connect it to the guitar.
Q: How do I change the stereo position of the sound?
A:
Q: How do I charge the dedicated transmitter (WL-T)?
A:
Charge it using the included USB cable (USB micro B-type) and a commercially
available USB AC adaptor.
It cannot be charged by connecting it to the transmitter in jack of the WAZA-AIR unit.
Use a USB AC adaptor that meets the following requirements.
USB Cable: Micro-B type
USB AC adaptor: 5 V, 0.5 A or more
Q: Can I specify the time until the unit enters standby mode?
A:
Q: What are the dimensions of the transmitter?
A:
Q: Can I connect the CHARGE port to a computer via USB and use it to transfer audio?
A:

Q: Can I connect wirelessly with a transmitter other than the WL-T?
A:
No.
Connection with other transmitters is not possible.
Q: Can I connect the guitar directly to the Transmitter In Jack without using the transmitter (WL-T)?
A:
No.
The Transmitter In Jack of the WAZA-AIR unit is available only for connecting
the transmitter (WL-T) when making settings for wirelessly connecting the guitar
(Auto Wireless Connection).
Q: Can the "WL-T" dedicated transmitter be purchased by itself?
A:
Yes.
It can be purchased from dealers that carry BOSS products.
Q: Can I perform while listening to a song that's playing back on my mobile device?
