Using Batteries for Power

Preparing a Power Supply

Though either an AC adaptor or batteries can be used for power, use of AC adaptor power is normally recommended.

Using the AC Adaptor

Use only the AC adaptor (JEITA Standard with unified polarity plug) specified for this Digital Keyboard. Use of a different type of AC adaptor can cause malfunction.

AC Adaptor Type: AD-E95100L

(JEITA Standard plug)

• Be sure to turn off Digital Keyboard power before connecting or disconnecting the AC adaptor.

• The AC adaptor becomes 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 twisting No pulling No wrapping

• Be sure to turn off power before loading batteries.

• Use commercially available AA-size alkaline batteries or AA-size rechargeable nickel metal hydride batteries.

• Low battery power can cause abnormal operation. If this happens, replace batteries with new ones. If you are using rechargeable batteries, charge them.

■ Batteries

Note the precautions below when using rechargeable batteries.

• Use Panasonic Group AA-size eneloop rechargeable batteries. Do not use any other type of batteries.

• Use only the specified charger to charge batteries.

• Rechargeable batteries must be removed from the product for charging.

• For information about using eneloop batteries or their specified charger, be sure to read the user documentation and precautions that come with each item, and use them only as directed.

Be sure to replace batteries at least once a year, even if there is no indication of low battery power. Dead rechargeable batteries (eneloop) in particular may deteriorate if they are left in the product. Remove rechargeable batteries from the product as soon as possible after they go dead.

Open the battery cover on the back of the Digital Keyboard.

• Never insert metal, pencils, or any other objects into the DC 9.5V terminal. Doing so creates the risk of accident.

EN-4

Load six AA-size batteries into the battery compartment.

Load batteries with their positive (+) and negative (–) ends facing correctly.

Insert the tabs of the battery cover into the holes, and close the cover.

• Configure the setting below to specify the type of batteries you loaded.

Operations Common to All Modes

Display Screen Contents

■ FINGERED 1, FINGERED 2 Chords

Reference

*1 With FINGERED 2, interpreted as Am7. *2 With FINGERED 2, interpreted as Am7 *3 Inverted form not supported in some cases. *4 These fingerings are special fingerings for Digital

Keyboard chord input, and so they are not suitable for normal keyboard play.

■ FINGERED ON BASS, FULL RANGE CHORD

In addition to the chords that can be fingered with FINGERED 1 and FINGERED 2, the chords below also are recognized.

• With FINGERED ON BASS, the lowest note fingered is interpreted as the base note. Inverted forms are not supported.

• With FULL RANGE CHORD, when the lowest note fingered is a certain distance from the neighboring note, the chord is interpreted as a fraction chord.

• Unlike FINGERED 1, 2, and FINGERED ON BASS, FULL RANGE CHORD requires pressing of at least three keys to form a chord.
