IMPORTANT
Check Your Power Supply
Make sure that your local AC mains
voltage matches the voltage speci-
fied on the name plate on the bottom
panel. In some areas a voltage se-
lector may be provided on the bottom
panel of the main keyboard unit near
the power cord. Make sure that the
voltage selector is set for the voltage
in your area. The voltage selector is
set at 240V when the unit is initially
shipped. To change the setting use a
"minus" screwdriver to rotate the se-
lector dial so that the correct voltage
appears next to the pointer on the
panel.
WICHTIG
Netzspannung überprüfen
Vergewissern Sie sich vor dem An-
schließen an das Stromnetz, daß die
örtliche Netzspannung den Betriebs-
spannungswerten auf dem Typenschild
an der Unterseite des Instruments ent-
spricht. In bestimmten Verkaufs-
gebieten ist das Instrument mit einem
Spannungswähler an der Unterseite
neben der Netzkabeldurchführung aus-
gestattet. Falls vorhanden, muß der
Spannungswähler auf die örtliche Netz-
spannung eingestellt werden. Der
Spannungswähler wurde werkseitig auf
240 V voreingestellt. Zum Verstellen
drehen Sie den Spannungsregler mit
einem Schlitzschraubendreher, bis der
Zeiger auf den korrekten Spannungs-
wert weist
IMPORTANT
Vérifiez la source d'alimentation
Vérifiez que la tension spécifiée sur
le panneau inférieur correspond à la
tension du secteur. Dans certaines
régions, l'instrument peut être équipé
d'un sélecteur de tension situé sur
le panneau inférieur du clavier à
proximité du cordon d'alimentation.
Vérifiez que ce sélecteur est bien
réglé en fonction de la tension sec-
teur de votre région. Le sélecteur de
tension est réglé sur 240 V au dé-
part d'usine. Pour modifier ce ré-
glage, utilisez un tournevis à lame
plate pour tourner le sélecteur afin
de mettre l'indication correspondant
à la tension de votre région vis à vis
du repère triangulaire situé sur le
panneau.
IMPORTANTE
Compruebe la alimentación de su área
Asegúrese de que tensión de alimen-
tación de CA de su área correspon-
de con la tensión especificada en la
placa de características del panel
inferior. En algunas zonas puede
haberse incorporado un selector de
tensión en el panel inferior de la uni-
dad del teclado principal, cerca del
cable de alimentación. Asegúrese de
que el selector de tensión esté ajus-
tado a la tensión de su área. El
selector de tensión se ajusta a 240V
cuando la unidad sale de fábrica.
Para cambiar el ajuste, emplee un
destornillador de cabeza "recta" para
girar el selector de modo que apa-
rezca la tensión correcta al lado del
indicador del panel.
