AC adaptor
DC 12V terminal
Household power outlet
Power cord

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-A12150LW (JEITA Standard plug)
Never connect the AC adaptor (JEITA Standard, with unified polarity plug) that comes with
this Digital Keyboard to any other device besides this Digital Keyboard. Doing so creates the risk of malfunction.
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.
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.
During Movement
Before moving the Digital 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.
EN-8
Page 10
Getting Ready to Play
Never insert metal, pencils, or any other objects into the product’s DC12V terminal. Doing so
creates the risk of accident.
Do not try to use the power cord that comes with the product with another device.
Use the AC adaptor so its label surface is pointed downwards. The AC adaptor becomes
prone to emitting electromagnetic waves when the label surface is facing upwards.
Plug the AC adaptor into a power outlet that is close to the Digital Keyboard. This lets you
immediately unplug from the power outlet should any problem occur.
The AC adaptor is intended for indoor use only. Do not leave it in a location where it can
become wet. Also, do not place a vase or any other container of liquid on the AC adaptor.
Make sure that the AC adaptor does not become covered with a newspaper, table cloth,
curtain, or any other type of fabric.
If you do not plan to use the Digital Keyboard for a long time, unplug the AC adaptor from the
power outlet.
The AC adaptor cannot be repaired. If your AC adaptor malfunctions or becomes damaged,
you need to purchase a new one.

Using Batteries for Power
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.
Actual continuous operation time may be shorter due to battery type, performance type, and
usage environment. In particular, Active DSP (page settings can dramatically shorten the battery operation time. Power the Digital Keyboard with the AC adaptor when using these functions.
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.

Applying the Effect You Want to a Tone
Module
Bypass
(Active DSP)
Active DSP
A DSP (Digital Signal Processor) is a type of effect connected between the sound source and output. DSP types are equalizer, tremolo, limiter, wah, etc. Many of the built-in tones of your Digital Keyboard are preset with DSPs that are suited for each tone. Such tones are called “DSP tones”. Your Digital Keyboard is equipped with Active DSP, which allows you to change DSP settings. The Digital Keyboard DSPs that can be configured using Active DSP are configured as shown below.
Sound Source Output
DSP
A DSP consists of one or more DSP modules (“Module” in the above illustration).
Your Digital Keyboard comes with 100 preset DSPs. The number of DSP modules and the module
type (equalizer, tremolo, limiter, wah, etc.) are defined for each DSP.
You can use the knobs to manipulate DSP parameters in real-time.
For an Active DSP, first you need to select a preset DSP. You can use the knobs to manipulate DSP parameters in real-time. You can also fine-tune the parameters, if you want. For details about DSP types, DSP modules, and the parameters of each DSP module, see the “
List
” on page EN-284 and the “DSP Effect List” on page EN-287.

Use CHG PART to select the part whose effect you want to change.
This causes the selected part’s indicator (“U1”, “U2”, “L”) to appear in the upper left of the display.
Each press of CHG PART cycles between parts whose effect will be changed.
Under initial default settings, effects are applied to the UPPER1 and UPPER2 parts only, so
even if you change the effect for the lower part, that effect is not applied. For information about applying an effect to the lower part, see “
EN-101.
