CAUTION

AC Adaptor

Do not locate the power cord in close proximity to heaters or other heating appliances. This may cause the cord to melt leading to possible fire or electrical shock.

When unplugging the AC adaptor from an electrical outlet, always make sure to pull on the adaptor itself and not the cord. Pulling excessively on the cord may cause it to be damaged or break leading to possible fire or electrical shock.

Do not touch the AC adaptor with wet hands when it is plugged in. This may cause electrical shock.

When not using the instrument for an extended period such as when traveling,

always make sure to unplug the AC adaptor from the electrical outlet for safety reasons.

After use turn off the power switch of the instrument and unplug the AC adaptor from the electrical outlet.

At least once a year, unplug the AC adaptor from the power outlet and clean the area around the prongs of the plug. Dust build up around the prongs can create the danger of fire.

Batteries

Improper battery use may cause batteries to rupture and leak. This may cause injury, malfunction of the instrument or discoloration of furniture and other articles that come into contact with battery fluid. Take care to observe the following.

Install batteries so their polarity (+/–) matches that indicated on the instrument.

For safety and to prevent possible leakage of battery fluid, always make sure to remove batteries from the instrument when you do not plan to use it for a long time.

Always make sure that the batteries making up a set are all of the same type.

Never combine new batteries with old ones.

Never dispose of batteries by incinerating them. Never short or disassemble batteries, and do not expose them to excessive heat.

Replace dead batteries as soon as possible.

Never attempt to recharge batteries.

Transport

• When transporting the instrument, always make sure to unplug the AC adaptor from the electrical outlet and confirm that all other external connections have been disconnected. Only then should the instrument be transported. If the above is not done, the cord may be damaged leading to possible fire or electrical shock.

Care

• Whenever caring, make sure to first unplug the AC adaptor from the electrical outlet. Also remove the instrument’s batteries if battery power is being used.

Location

Never locate the instrument in areas subject to high humidity or heavy accumulation of dust. Doing so may cause fire or electrical shock.

Never locate the instrument in areas subject to grease splatters or steam, such as in a kitchen or near a humidifier. Doing so may cause fire or electrical shock.

Do not place keyboard on lacquered furniture.

The instrument’s silicone rubber feet may eventually blacken or scar lacquered surfaces. Use felt cloth pads to insulate the feet or preferably use a CASIO musical instrument stand designed for your keyboard.

Do not place heavy objects on the instrument.

Do not place heavy objects on the instrument. This may cause the instrument to tip over or break resulting in injury.

Volume

Very high volume levels can damage hearing. Avoid using the instrument at very high volume settings for long periods. Consult with a physician immediately if you experience impaired hearing or ringing in the ears.

Do not get onto the instrument or stand.

Do not crawl on top of the instrument or its optional stand. Particular caution is required in homes having small children. This may cause the instrument or stand to tip over and break resulting in injury.

Optional Stand (sold separately)

Carefully assemble the stand following the assembly instructions that come with it. Securely tighten all bolts, nuts, and fasteners, and make sure that you mount the instrument correctly onto the stand. Incorrectly or insufficiently tightening screws, or incorrectly mounting the instrument onto the stand can cause the stand to tip over or the instrument to fall off the stand, possibly leading to injury.

Accessories and options

Use only accessories that come with the instrument or authorized CASIO options (sold separately). Use of non-specified accessories or options may cause fire, electrical shock, or malfunction.

You may not be able to see the keyboard keys light under direct sunlight or in other brightly lit areas.

Care of Your Keyboard

Avoid heat, humidity or direct sunlight.

Do not overexpose the instrument to direct sunlight, or place it near an air conditioner, or in any extremely hot place.

Do not use near a TV or radio.

This instrument can cause video or audio interference with TV and radio reception. If this happens, move the instrument away from the TV or radio.

Do not use lacquer, thinner or similar chemicals for cleaning.

Clean the keyboard with a soft cloth dampened in a weak solution of water and a neutral detergent. Soak the cloth in the solution and squeeze until it is almost dry.

Note

You may notice lines in the finish of the case of this keyboard. These lines are a result of the molding process used to shape the plastic of the case. They are not cracks or breaks in the plastic, and are no cause for concern.

Connections

■ Phones/Output Jack

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.
