Transporting

unit as it is (assembled) or you can disassemble the unit.
Transport the keyboard horizontally. Do not lean it up against a wall or stand it up on its side. Do not subject the instru-
ment to excessive vibration or shock.
After transporting the instrument, do the following to ensure optimum performance of the iAFC function (page 81):
