Updating The Forte Se; Using The Forte Se - Kurzweil FORTE SE Musician's Manual

Getting Started

Updating the Forte SE

Connect the AC power cord to the Forte SE. Before plugging the cable into the power outlet,
check that the power is compatible with the Forte SE. The Forte SE runs on AC power
and works with voltages from 80-265 volts 50-60 Hz. The voltage level is detected and set
automatically by the Forte SE. If your power source does not have the standard three hole
outlet, you should take the time to install a proper grounding system. This will reduce the
risk of a shock. If your power outlet is not within these ranges it is recommended you use an
appropriate adaptor.
Plug the power cable into the wall.
Plug the Switch Pedal into the marked SW1 (Sustain) Pedal jack on the Forte SE rear panel.
Connect stereo headphones to the headphone jack on the rear panel or connect the audio
outputs to your mixer or amplifier inputs using standard (1/4-inch) audio cables (use the Left
out for mono). Balanced ("TRS" or "Stereo") cables are recommended if your mixer or amp
supports balanced inputs.
Make sure your sound system is at a safe volume level. Also make sure that the Forte SE
Master Volume slider (on the far left side of the front panel) is all the way down.
