English
• Be sure to turn off Digital Keyboard power before
connecting or disconnecting the AC adaptor.
• The AC adaptor will become warm to the touch after very
long use. This is normal and does not indicate malfunction.
• To prevent breaking of the wire, take care to avoid putting
any type of load on the power cord.
No bending! No winding!
• Never insert metal, pencils, or any other objects into the
product’s 9.5V DC terminal. Doing so creates the risk of
accident.

headphones.
• Headphones do not come with the Digital Keyboard.
• Use commercially available headphones. See page EN-1 for
information about options.
• Do not listen to very high volume output over headphones
for long period. Doing so creates the risk of hearing
damage.
• If the plug of the headphones you are using does not match
the cm PHONES/OUTPUT jack, use the applicable
commercially available adaptor plug.
• If you are using headphones that require an adaptor plug,
make sure you do not leave the adaptor plugged in when
removing the headphones.
