Getting Ready

Installing the Batteries

Install four alkaline batteries (AA, LR6) in the battery compartment located on the bottom of the
unit.
* When turning the unit over, be careful so as to protect the buttons and knobs from damage.
Also, handle the unit carefully; do not drop it.
* If you handle batteries improperly, you risk explosion and fluid leakage. Make sure that you
carefully observe all of the items related to batteries that are listed in "USING THE UNIT SAFELY"
and "IMPORTANT NOTES" (separate sheet "USING THE UNIT SAFELY" and Owner's manual (p. 30)).
* We recommend that you keep batteries installed in the unit even though you'll be powering it
with the AC adaptor. That way, you'll be able to continue a performance even if the cord of the
AC adaptor gets accidently disconnected from the unit.
* "BATTERY LOW" will appear on the display if the batteries are low. Replace them with new ones.

Accepts connection of an AC Adaptor (PSA-S series; sold
separately). By using an AC Adaptor, you can play without
being concerned about how much battery power you have left.
* Use only the specified AC adaptor (PSA-S series; sold
separately), and connect it to an AC outlet of the correct
voltage. Do not use any other AC adaptor, since this may
cause malfunction.
* If the AC adaptor is connected while power is on, the power
supply is drawn from the AC adaptor.
