IMPORTANT
Check your power supply
Make sure that your local AC mains voltage matches the voltage
specified on the name plate on the bottom panel. In some areas a
voltage selector may be provided on the bottom panel of the main
keyboard unit near the power cord. Make sure that the voltage se-
lector 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 selector dial so that the correct
voltage appears next to the pointer on the panel.
