3.
Connect the plug of the AC adapter to an AC outlet.
Be sure to use an AC outlet of the correct voltage for
your adapter.
Using this instrument with
batteries
You can use six AA alkaline or nickel-metal hydride batteries to
power the i3.
Zinc-carbon batteries cannot be used.
Note:
Batteries are not included, so please obtain them sepa-
rately.
Installing the Batteries
1.
Make sure that the power on the i3 is turned off.
2.
Push the tab on the battery compartment cover that is
located on the bottom of the i3 to open the cover.
Note:
When turning the i3
upside down, place it on a
blanket or similar material to
prevent damage to the dis-
play, joystick and other parts.
3.
When inserting the batteries, be sure to observe the
correct polarity ("+" and "–").
Do not mix new and old
batteries, or batteries of dif-
ferent types. Failing to observe
this guideline might cause the
batteries to leak or burst.
4.
Close the battery cover.
Note:
To make sure the correct battery level is displayed,
configure the setting on the i3 for the type of battery you are
using (see "Setting the battery type" on page 25).

Getting Ready to Play

Be careful not to bend the
part of the AC adapter
plug as shown any more
than necessary.
Replacing the batteries
A battery indicator is shown at the upper right-hand corner of
the display.
Note:
This indicator will not be displayed when the i3 is con-
nected to an AC adapter.
When the indicator is blinking, this means that the batteries are
nearly depleted, so replace the batteries as soon as possible or
connect an AC adapter to power the i3.
Remove depleted batteries immediately. Leaving depleted
batteries in could result in malfunctions caused by battery elec-
trolyte leakage or similar problems. Also, remove the batteries
if you will not be using the i3 for a long time.

Connecting speakers

Connect the OUTPUT L/MONO, R jacks on the rear panel of the
i3 to a powered monitor speaker, stereo or other audio device.
To output monaural sound, use the OUTPUT L/MONO jack only.
Standard phone plug
cable (monaural)
Turn off the i3 and your audio devices before making con-
nections. Leaving the power on when you make connections
may cause damage to other connected devices, or cause a
malfunction.
The speakers may be unintentionally damaged if the
volume is too loud, if you play the i3 right after the speakers
are turned on. For this reason, when connecting the speakers
or turning on the power, make sure that the speaker volume is
turned all the way down. Do the reverse when turning off the
power.
