Using the Dip Switches to set the Key on a WX7

The normal playing Key of the WX7 is C. By changing the setting of Dip Switches #3 and #4, the WX7's Key can be changed Up to E flat or down to B flat, or even up by an entire octave. Setting Dip Switches #3 and #4 to change the Key:
    1) Locate the Dip Switches, found under a cover on the upper back of the WX7, just above the Octave Transpose keys.

    2) Use a small screwdriver to flip Dip Switch #3 and #4 to the desired setting (see chart below).
    NOTE: When holding the WX7 vertically (in playing position), the Dip Switches are in the 'Off' position when they are set to the left and in the 'On' position when they are set to the right.

Dip Switch #3 Dip Switch #4 Key Instrument
OFF OFF C Flute, Oboe
ON OFF B flat Soprano, Tenor, Bass Saxophones, & Clarinet
OFF ON E flat Sopranino, Alto, & Baritone Saxophones
ON ON C (octave up) Flute, Oboe
