Introduction

Setting Up the Instrument

Setting Up the Instrument
The V150/V110 can be placed most anywhere in a room. Make sure that nothing underneath the
instrument blocks the speaker ports so that the full power of the sound system can be heard.
One end of the power cord plugs into the power socket of the instrument, and the other into a
nearby outlet. Please read the section called IMPORTANT SAFETY & INSTALLATION
INSTRUCTIONS on page ii of this manual for important information. Your V150/V110 has been
designed for the supply voltages used in your area. If you move to another country, or if you
have any doubts about power supply, please see your local Kurzweil dealer.
Because the V150/V110 is a digital instrument, there is a possibility that it may interfere with
other electronic equipment. See the section called RADIO AND TELEVISION INTERFERENCE
on page ii for information and suggestions for how to minimize any interference problems.

Battery

The V150/V110 has battery-backed memory that stores Panel Memories and user preferences
even when the power is turned off. The batteries are accessible through a small panel on the
instrument's underside. The V150/V110 was shipped from the factory with fresh batteries
installed, but to preserve their charge during shipping a paper pulltab insulator was inserted
between the batteries and metal contacts. Before you play the instrument for the first time you
will need to remove this insulating paper. On page A-1 there's a procedure for replacing the
batteries. Read the first few steps of this procedure to learn how to open the battery panel, then
remove the insulation, close the battery panel, and you're ready to play.

Care of Your Instrument

Use a soft, dry cloth to dust the V150/V110 case. Do not use aerosol sprays on or near the
instrument. To clean the keyboard, use a soft, damp (not wet) cloth. If necessary, dampen the
cloth with a solution of dish soap and water. Never use solvents like alcohol or mineral spirits on
any surface of the instrument.

Getting Started

Turn on the power with the main power switch, located underneath the keyboard on the left-
hand side. The instrument takes a few seconds to initialize and run a brief self-check, and then
it's ready to play!
Once you're up and running, look over the front panel illustration on pages iv and v. It's a sort
of visual table of contents.
Warning : This instrument is capable of producing sound pressure levels in excess of 95dB,
which may cause permanent hearing damage. Please exercise caution when playing through the
internal speakers and especially when using headphones. Always start with the Volume slider
at the minimum position.

Headphone Jacks

The V150/V110 has two headphone jacks, located on the bottom panel near the power switch. If
you want to use the V150/V110 with headphones, just plug a headphone cable into either
headphone jack. This cuts off the sound from the V150/V110's speakers, and plays the sound
through the headphones only. The sound returns when you remove the headphone cable(s)
from the jack(s).
