Connection
The following connection tutorials are made for the Jamstik GT so you may notice slight differences in the hardware specifically power button placement and USB port both of which can be located in the diagrams above. Know that for a Jamstik+ model, the power indicator light is located above the power button rather than over the strings.

Quick Tips
- If your Jamstik is out of tune or gets a stuck note, perform a soft-reset by pressing both (+) & (-) buttons simultaneously.
- If your LED is blinking Red & Green, this indicates a low battery, and your AA batteries should be replaced. Always use wired headphones or speakers for the best performance.
- Keep your fingers away from the fretboard during power-up. If your strings feel loose, tighten them up with the included Allen wrench. Make sure not to compress the springs all the way.
- Your Jamstik has a built-in sleep timer, so you'll have to "wake up" the fretboard after 2 minutes, or turn the power back on after 15 minutes of inactivity.
- Wireless headphones & speakers cause a delay. Always use wired audio output from your connected device for the best playing experience.
