For information on assembling the keyboard stand, refer to the instructions at the end of this manual.
IMPORTANT — Check your power supply —
Make sure that your local AC mains voltage matches the voltage specified on the name plate on the bottom
panel. In some areas a voltage selector may be provided on the bottom panel of the main keyboard unit near the
power cord. Make sure that the voltage selector is set for the voltage in your area. The voltage selector is set at
240V when the unit is initially shipped.
To change the setting use a "minus" screwdriver to rotate the selector dial so that the correct voltage appears
next to the pointer on the panel.
Pour obtenir des informations sur l'assemblage du support du clavier, reportez-vous aux instructions
à la fin de ce manuel.
IMPORTANT — Contrôler la source d'alimentation —
Vérifiez que la tension spécifiée sur le panneau inférieur correspond à la tension du secteur. Dans certaines
régions, l'instrument peut être équipé d'un sélecteur de tension situé sur le panneau inférieur du clavier à
proximité du cordon d'alimentation.
Vérifiez que ce sélecteur est bien réglé en fonction de la tension secteur de votre région. Le sélecteur de tension
est réglé sur 240 V au départ d'usine. Pour modifier ce réglage, utilisez un tournevis à lame plate pour tourner le
sélecteur afin de mettre l'indication correspondant à la tension de votre région vis à vis du repère triangulaire
situé sur le panneau.
Para información sobre el montaje del soporte del teclado, consulte las instrucciones al final de este
manual.
IMPORTANTE — Verifique la alimentación de corriente —
Asegúrese de que tensión de alimentación de CA de su área corresponde con la tensión especificada en la
placa de características del panel inferior. En algunas zonas puede haberse incorporado un selector de tensión
en el panel inferior de la unidad del teclado principal, cerca del cable de alimentación. Asegúrese de que el
selector de tensión esté ajustado a la tensión de su área. El selector de tensión se ajusta a 240V cuando la
unidad sale de fábrica. Para cambiar el ajuste, emplee un destornillador de cabeza "recta" para girar el selector
de modo que aparezca la tensión correcta al lado del indicador del panel.
