WARNING
Power Cord
Improper use of the power cord can
create the risk of fire and electric
shock. Always be sure to observe
the following precautions.
Use only the power cord speci-
fied for this piano.
Make sure that the power source
you are using matches the rating
marked on the instrument itself.
Do not use an extension cord to
plug multiple devices into the
same power outlet.
Power Cord
Improper use of the power cord can
create the risk of personal injury,
material damage, fire and electric
shock. Always be sure to observe
the following precautions.
Do not place heavy objects on the
power cord or subject it to heat.
Never try to modify the power
cord or subject it to excessive
bending.
Never twist or pull on the power
cord.
Should the power cord or plug
become damaged, contact your
original retailer or an authorized
CASIO service provider.
Power Cord
Do not touch the plug with wet
hands when it is plugged in. This
may cause electrical shock.
Do not locate the piano on an unstable sur-
face.
Never locate the piano on a surface
that is wobbly, tilted, or otherwise
unstable*. An unstable surface can
cause the piano to fall over, creat-
ing the risk of personal injury.
* Avoid areas where there are mul-
tiple layers of carpeting, and
where cables are running under
the piano.
Always make sure you se-
cure the piano to the stand
with the screws that are pro-
vided. An unsecured piano
can fall from the stand, cre-
ating the risk of personal in-
jury.
Never climb onto the piano or stand.
Never climb onto the piano
or hang from its edges. Doing
so can cause the piano to fall
over, creating the risk of per-
sonal injury. Special care con-
cerning this point is required
in households where there are
small children.

ing it. Doing so creates the risk of
fire and personal injury due to ex-
plosion.

nal retailer or an authorized CASIO
service provider.

shock. Always be sure to observe
the following precautions.
Never locate the power cord near
a stove or other source of heat.
When unplugging from an out-
let, never pull on the cord.
(Always grasp the plug when
pulling.)

shock. Always be sure to observe
the following precautions.
Push the plug fully into the power
outlet as far as it will go.
Unplug from the power outlet
during lightening storms, and
when you do not plan to use the
piano for a long time (such as be-
fore a long trip).
Unplug from the power outlet at
least once a year and clean any
dust build up between the prongs
of the plug.
Moving the piano
Be sure to perform the following
steps before moving the piano. Fail-
ure to do so can damage the power
cord, creating the risk of fire and
electric shock.
1. Unplug the piano from its power
outlet.
2. Unplug the pedal connecting
cord, and all cords and other
items connected to the back of the
piano.
Cleaning
Before cleaning the piano, unplug it
from the power outlet. Failure to do
so can damage the power cord, cre-
ating the risk of fire and electric
shock. It can also cause the piano to
fall over, creating the risk of per-
sonal injury.
Never climb onto the piano or stand.
Doing so can cause the piano to fall
over, creating the risk of personal
injury. Special care concerning this
item is required in households
where there are small children.
Connector
Connect only the specified devices
to the piano's connectors. Connect-
ing non-specified items creates the
risk of fire and electric shock.
Location
Avoid locating the piano in the fol-
lowing types of areas. Subjecting the
piano to the conditions described
below creates the risk of fire and
electric shock.
Areas expose to high humidity or
large amounts of dust
Near food preparation areas and
other areas where it is exposed to
oil smoke
Near a heater, on a heated carpet,
in direct sunlight, inside a closed
automobile parked in the sun, and
any other area subjected to very
high temperature
Never place the piano directly onto
furniture or other item that has a
finished surface. The rubber feet on
the bottom of the piano can react
with the paint or other coatings, re-
sulting in soiling of or damage to
the finished surface. Be sure to lay
felt or some other material on the
finished surface before placing the
piano on it.

427B-E-010A
Do not place heave objects on the piano.
Never place heavy objects on top of
the piano. Doing so can cause the
stand to tip over and the object to
fall, creating the risk of personal in-
jury.
Volume setting
Do not play at very loud volumes
for a long time. This precaution is
especially important when using the
headphones. Long-term exposure to
very loud sound can damage your
hearing.
Assemble the stand properly.
Failure to do so can cause the stand
to fall over and the piano to fall
from the stand, creating the risk of
personal injury.
Make sure your assemble the stand
in accordance with the instructions
that come with it, and ensure that
all connections are secure. Also
make sure that you choose an ap-
propriate location for the stand.
When placing the piano onto the
stand, take care that you do not
pinch your fingers between the
piano and the stand.
At least two people should
lift the piano when plac-
ing it onto the stand or
moving it. Trying to move
the piano alone can cause
the stand to fall over, cre-
ating the risk of personal
injury.
Do not drag the stand or
tilt it forward or back
when placing the piano
onto the stand or moving
it. Doing so can cause the
piano to fall over, creating
the risk of personal injury.
Periodically check the screws that
secure the piano to the stand for
looseness. If a screw is loose, re-
tighten it. Loose screws can cause
the stand to tip over and the pi-
ano to fall, creating the risk of
personal injury.
