6. Setup

A) Power supply

Using batteries
Observe correct polarity while inserting the batteries. Remove the batteries if the device is not
used for a long period of time to avoid damage through leakage. Leaking or damaged batteries
might cause acid burns when contact with skin, therefore use suitable protective gloves to
handle corrupted batteries.
Keep batteries out of reach of children. Do not leave the battery lying around, as there is risk,
which children or domestic pets could swallow it.
Replace all the batteries at the same time. Mixing old and new batteries in the device can lead
to battery leakage and device damage.
Make sure that batteries are not dismantled, short-circuited or thrown into fire. Never recharge
non-rechargeable batteries. There is a risk of explosion!
1. Open the battery compartment cover at the bottom of the keyboard.
2. Insert six Baby ("C" size) batteries while observing the correct polarity (positive, "+" and negative, "-")
embossed next to the battery compartment.
3. Close the compartment cover, making sure it locks firmly in place.
Usage of alkaline batteries is recommended.
Using optional power adapter
Never connect the keyboard to a power adapter immediately after it has been taken from a
cold place to a warm one. The condensed moisture can lead to malfunction or damage to the
keyboard or risk of electric shock.
Connect the low voltage plug of the power adapter to the power receptacle of the keyboard. Once connected,
the keyboard will be powered by the power adapter and cut off the battery power supply.
The power adapter must match the following technical specification.
Input: 230V~/ 50Hz
Output: 9V=/ 350mA
Polarity:
Outer diameter of the plug: ø5.5 mm
Inner diameter of the plug: ø2.1 mm

B) Peripheral devices connection

Head phone
The "OUT" jack (21) also functions as an external output.
Connect the "OUT" jack to a keyboard amplifier, sound systems, mixers, tape recorders, or other line-
level audio device to send the instrument's output signal to that device.
Avoid listening with the headphones at high volume for long periods of time; doing so may not
only result in ear fatigue, it may be damaging to your hearing.
To prevent damage to the speakers, set the volume of the external devices at the minimum
setting before connecting them.
Set the volumes of all devices at their minimum levels and gradually raise the volume controls
while playing the instrument to set the desired listening level.
Microphone
Only use monaural microphone.
Plug the plug of a microphone to "MIC" jack (20).
