1. Connecting the Power (Figure 1)
• Connect the supplied AC adapter to the power cord. Insert the DC plug end into the DC12V
jack on the rear panel of the unit. Next, plug the power cord into an AC outlet.
Pass the AC adapter cord through the cord hook so that the plug won't be removed from
the jack accidentally. When you unhook the cord, don't pull the cord with force.
Be sure to use the AC adapter that came with your unit. Using other AC adapters may
cause the unit to malfunction.
Be sure to plug the unit into an AC outlet of the appropriate voltage.
2. Opening or closing the key cove (Figure 2)
Put your fingers on the depressed part "A" on the front panel to
slowly open the key cover with your hands.
Be careful not to pinch your fingers or hands when closing the
key cover.

This instrument is automatically turned off when 30 minutes have passed without user

4. Adjust the volume
• Rotate the VOLUME knob that's located next to the power switch to the right, toward "MAX",

When placing open sheet music, do not apply strong pressure onto the key cover.
Using headphones
When you plug in headphones, the built-in speakers will be muted. This is useful when you
want to play the keyboard without bothering your family or your neighbors. The LP-180
features two headphone jacks so that two people can enjoy playing and listening.
• Insert the stereo headphone plug into the phones jacks ( ) on the lower left side of the
unit. (Figure 5)
If your headphones feature a standard-to-mini adapter plug, be sure to hold the adapter
plug when you connect or disconnect the headphones.
