devices such as powered speakers, ensure that the volume on
those devices is turned down fully.

Initial Setup

When you turn on your DTX502 for the first time, the Initial
Setup page will be displayed. On this page, you will be required
to specify the following.
 Your drum kit's model number
When you specify the model number, the DTX502 will auto-
matically optimize the trigger output levels for all of your
pads.
 Auto Power-Off time
The Auto Power-Off function automatically turns off the
DTX502 after a certain period of inactivity. This helps to con-
serve energy should you forget to turn it off yourself.

NOTICE
• Any unsaved changes to parameters will be lost when
the drum module is turned off by the Auto Power-Off
function. Remember to store modified settings regu-
larly.
• In certain modes of operation, the Auto Power-Off func-
tion will not turn off the drum module when the set time
has elapsed. We recommend, therefore, that you
always turn off the drum module manually when you
are finished using it.
• If you expect your DTX502 to be inactive for a certain
length of time while connected to other audio equip-
ment, we recommend that you turn the volume on the
other equipment fully down. Alternatively, you can dis-
able the Auto Power-Off function to ensure that the
drum module stays on.
NOTE
• Settings for the Auto Power-Off function do not represent exact
times and there may be some variation.
• By default, the Auto Power-Off time is set to 30 minutes.
• You can change the Auto Power-Off setting at any time after
completing Initial Setup. For details, see the description of the
Auto Power-Off page from Menu Mode (page 75).
