Important Battery Information
■ The following shows the approximate battery life.

WARNING
Misuse of batteries can cause them to leak, resulting in damage to nearby objects, or to explode, creating the risk of fire and personal injury. Always make sure you observe the following precautions.
•Never try to take batteries apart or allow them to become shorted.
•Never expose batteries to heat or dispose of them by incineration.
•Never mix old batteries with new ones.
•Never mix batteries of different types.
•Do not charge the batteries.
•Make sure the positive (+) and negative (–) ends of the batteries are facing correctly.
CAUTION
Misuse of batteries can cause them to leak resulting in damage to nearby objects, or to explode, creating the risk of fire and personal injury. Always make sure you observe the following precautions.
•Use only batteries that are specified for use with this product.
•Remove batteries from the product if you do not plan to use it for a long time.
NOTE
•Do not use an oxyride battery or any other type of nickelbased primary battery with this product. Incompatibility between such batteries and product specifications can result in shorter battery life and product malfunction.
Using the AC Adaptor
Make sure that you use only the AC adaptor specified for this keyboard.
Specified AC Adaptor: AD-5
[Rear Panel]
DC 9V jack
AC adaptor AD-5
Note the following important precautions to avoid damage to the power cord.
●During Use
•Never pull on the cord with excessive force.
•Never repeatedly pull on the cord.
•Never twist the cord at the base of the plug or connector.
•The power cord should not be stretched tight while it is in use.
●During Movement
•Before moving the keyboard, be sure to unplug the AC adaptor from the power outlet.
●During Storage
•Loop and bundle the power cord, but never wind it around the AC adaptor.
IMPORTANT!
•Make sure that the keyboard is turned off before connecting or disconnecting the AC adaptor.
•Using the AC adaptor for a long time can cause it to become warm to the touch. This is normal and does not indicate malfunction.
Auto Power Off
When you are using battery power, keyboard power turns off automatically whenever you leave it on without performing any operation for about 6 minutes. When this happens, adjust the POWER/MODE switch to turn power back on.
NOTE
•Auto Power Off is disabled (it does not function) when you are using the AC adaptor to power the keyboard.
To disable Auto Power Off
Hold down the TONE button while turning on the keyboard to disable Auto Power Off.
NOTE
•When this function is turned off, the keyboard does not turn off automatically no matter how long it is left with no operation being performed.
•Auto Power Off is enabled again when you manually turn off power and then turn it back on again.

Power On Alert
Keyboard keys light to alert you if you leave power on and do not perform any operation for about 6 minutes. Note that keys light only, and no sound is produced. When this happens, press any button or keyboard key to clear the power on alert.
NOTE
•Power on alert operates only when you are powering the keyboard using the AC adaptor. It does not operate when you are using batteries.
To turn off power on alert
1Press the FUNCTION (LK-215: TOUCH RESPONSE/ FUNCTION) button a number of times until “DEMO 2” appears on the display.
2Use the [+] and [–] buttons to change the setting to “oFF”.
3Press the FUNCTION (LK-215: TOUCH RESPONSE/ FUNCTION) button to clear the setting screen from the display.
Memory Contents
Even when the keyboard is turned off, user song data saved as Song Bank tunes are retained as long as power is being supplied to the keyboard.
Unplugging the AC adaptor when batteries are not loaded or when batteries are dead cuts off the power supply. This causes all keyboard settings to be initialized to the initial factory defaults, and clears all data stored in memory.
Power Requirements
Note the following precautions whenever you want to ensure that current keyboard settings and memory contents are not lost.
•Make sure the keyboard is being supplied power through the AC adaptor before replacing its batteries.
•Before unplugging the AC adaptor, make sure that fresh batteries are loaded in the keyboard.
Make sure that keyboard power is turned off before replacing batteries or unplugging the AC adaptor.

PREPARATION
•Before connecting headphones or other external equipment, be sure to first turn down the volume settings of the keyboard and the connected equipment. You can then adjust volume to the desired level after connections are complete.

Connecting Headphones (Figure 1)
Connecting headphones cuts off output from the keyboard’s built-in speakers, so you can play even late at night without disturbing anyone.
Audio Equipment (Figure 2)
Connect the keyboard to an audio equipment using a commercially available connecting cord with a standard plug on one end and two PIN plugs on the other end. Note that the standard plug you connect to the keyboard must be a stereo plug, otherwise you will be able to output only one of stereo channels. In this configuration, you normally set the input selector of the audio equipment to the terminal (usually marked AUX IN or something similar) where the cord from the keyboard is connected. See the user documentation that comes with your audio equipment for full details.
Musical Instrument Amplifier (Figure 3)
Use a commercially available connecting cord to connect the keyboard to a musical instrument amplifier.
NOTE
•Be sure to use a connecting cord that has a stereo standard plug on the end you connect to the keyboard, and a connector that provides dual channel (left and right) input to the amplifier to which you are connecting.
The wrong type of connector at either end can cause one of the stereo channels to be lost.
When connected to a musical instrument amplifier, set the volume of the keyboard to a relatively low level and make output volume adjustments using the amplifier’s controls.

Sustain/Assignable Jack
You can connect an optional sustain pedal (SP-3 or SP-20) to the SUSTAIN/ASSIGNABLE JACK to enable the capabilities described below.
For details on how to select the pedal function you want, see “SUSTAIN/ASSIGNABLE JACK (Default: SUS)” on page E-38.
SUSTAIN/ASSIGNABLE JACK
SP-20
Sustain Pedal
•With piano tones, depressing the pedal causes notes to linger, much like a piano’s damper pedal.
•With organ tones, depressing the pedal causes notes to continue to sound until the pedal is released.
Sostenuto Pedal
•As with the sustain pedal function described above, depressing the sostenuto pedal causes notes to be sustained.
•This difference between a sostenuto pedal and sustain pedal is the timing. With a sostenuto pedal, you press the keys and then depress the pedal before you release the keys.
•Only the notes that are sounding when the pedal is depressed are sustained.
Soft Pedal
Depressing the pedal softens the sound of the notes being played.
Rhythm Start/Stop Pedal
In this case, the pedal performs the same functions as the
START/STOP button.
