the battery life. Make sure to set the Battery Type correctly.
Any pair of stereo headphones with a 1/4 stereo
phone plug can be plugged in here for convenient
monitoring. The speakers are automatically shut off
when a plug is inserted into this jack.
The PHONES/OUTPUT jack also functions as an
external output. You can connect the PHONES/OUT-
PUT jack to a keyboard amplifier, stereo system,
mixer, tape recorder, or other line-level audio device
to send the instrument's output signal to that device.
CA U T I ON
Do not use the instrument/device or headphones for a long
period of time at a high or uncomfortable volume level,
since this can cause permanent hearing loss. If you experi-
ence any hearing loss or ringing in the ears, consult a phy-
sician.
Before connecting the instrument to other electronic com-
ponents, set all volume levels to the minimum, then turn
off the power for all components.
N OT I CE
When the instrument 's sound is output to an external
device, first turn on the power to the instrument, then to
the external device. Reverse this order when you turn the
power off.
You can produce a natural sustain as you play by
pressing an optional Footswitch plugged into the
[SUSTAIN] jack.
NOTE
Make sure that the footswitch plug is properly connected to
the SUSTAIN jack before turning on the power.
Do not press the footswitch while turning the power on. Doing
this changes the recognized polarity of the footswitch, result-
ing in reversed footswitch operation.
Turn down the [MASTER VOLUME] control to
MIN then press the [ ] (Standby/On) switch to
turn on the power. While playing the keyboard, adjust
the [MASTER VOLUME] control. To turn off the
power, press the [ ] (Standby/On) switch again for
a second.
While playing the keyboard, use the [MASTER VOL-
UME] control to adjust the volume to an appropriate
level.
CA U T I ON
When using a power adaptor, even when the power is off, a
small amount of electricity is still being consumed by the
instrument. When you are not using the instrument for a
long time, make sure to unplug the AC power adaptor from
the wall AC outlet.
