This connector is compatible with standard laptop-style Kensington
13. On/Off Switch:
Use this switch to power the device on or off. When this switch is set to the on position, Oxygen is powered through
the USB connection to your computer.
14. Sustain Pedal Input:
This socket accepts a momentary-contact foot pedal (not included). When pressed, this pedal will sustain the
sound you are playing without having to keep your fingers pressing down the keys.
NOTE: The polarity of the sustain pedal is determined by the keyboard upon startup. When an Oxygen
keyboard is powering up, the sustain pedal is assumed to be in the "up" (Off) position. It is important that the
sustain pedal is not pressed during startup, otherwise the pedal will reverse its operation, and notes will sustain
when the pedal is not pressed.
15. USB Port:
The USB 2.0 port (backward compatible with USB 1.1) delivers power to the keyboard and transmits MIDI data
when connected to a computer.
