Does the G10T drain when plugged into the transmitter?

(Please forgive if this is already covered in the forums; so many threads regarding the G10)

 

I always charge my G10 after a session; then I simply switch off the whole rig, leaving the transmitter in the receiver, where I just charged it.

Now I switch on the whole rig after a few days: The transmitter is COMPLETELY EMPTY. 

 

Is that normal or should I return the unit for another one?

 

 

Thanks!

Yes, if the micro switch on the transmitter is depressed, it will be in "sleep" mode. Sleep mode does consume power from the battery.

 

After it is completely charged and you turn off the power to your rig, pull out your transmitter about 1/4" so the micro switch is not made, then the battery charge should last quite a while. I have had mine unplugged for a couple of weeks and it was still good to go when I put it in the guitar.

Thank you very much! This solved the problem.

Why it needs to be in stand by while charging is a mystery to me and a little bit inconvenient, but definitely no deal-breaker. This plug'n'play solution is so damn sweet to use!
