Connecting The Included Ac Adapter; Connecting Audio Devices; Connecting To A Computer Or Midi Device - Korg Pearl e/MERG MDL1 Quick Start Manual

Connecting the included AC adapter

Fully insert the power cord for the AC adapter into the AC
adapter, and then insert the DC plug into DC 12V jack on the
rear panel.
When fastening the cord to
the cord hook, be careful not
to bend this area more than
necessary.
Make sure to secure the AC adapter cord to the cord hook
on the bottom panel, to make it harder for the DC plug to
accidentally disconnect.
Use only the included AC adapter. Using a different AC
adapter may cause a malfunction.

Connecting audio devices

Turn off your devices before making connections. If you
leave the power on when making connections, your
devices or speakers might be damaged.

The volume may seem a little low if you are listening
