Preparing to Play

Before You Begin

Assembling the Poetry Piano
The Poetry includes the keyboard unit, the stand and anti-
tipping brackets, pedal unit, and speaker system. Follow
the instructions found on page 4 and fully assemble
your Poetry before proceeding.
Connecting the Power
Connector box
to AC outlet
Power cord for the AC adapter
Fully insert the power cord into the AC adapter, then insert
the DC plug into DC 24V jack on the connector box. Next,
connect the power cord to an AC outlet.
Pass the AC adapter cord through the cord hook to
prevent the DC plug from accidentally being discon-
nected. When you unhook the cord, don't pull on the
cord with force.
Use only the AC adapter provided with your Poetry.
Using a different adapter may cause malfunctions or
other issues.
Be sure to plug the power cord into an outlet of the ap-
propriate voltage.

Closing the key cover
1. Unfold the front edge of the key cover, and gently be-
gin to lower it.
2. When the key cover begins to close on its own, release
it.
The key cover will continue to softly close on its own,
from about mid-way down.
Do not forcibly pull the key cover or apply strong pres-
sure while the key cover is closing. Doing so will dam-
age the unit.
Be careful not to pinch your fingers or hands when
closing or opening the key cover.
The temperature and humidity will affect how fast the
key cover automatically closes.
The key cover may make a faint clicking sound as it
slowly closes. This is normal.
Using the music stand
The key cover serves as a convenient music stand.
When placing opened music, do not apply strong pres-
sure onto the key cover.
Headphone Effect
The effect (Stereo sound optimizer) that gives presence to
the sound when the headphones are used can be turned
on or off (Refer to "Stereo sound optimizer" on page 17).
