• The AC adaptor does not come with this Digital Keyboard. Purchase it separately from your retailer. See page EN-1 for information about options.

Using the AC Adaptor

Make sure that you use only the AC adaptor specified for this Digital Keyboard. Use of a different type of AC adaptor can cause malfunction.

Specified AC Adaptor: AD-E95100L

Household power outlet

(JEITA Standard plug)

em DC 9.5V

AC adaptor

• Be sure to turn off power before loading batteries.

• It is up to you to prepare six commercially available batteries. Do not use oxyride batteries or any other nickel based batteries.

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

Load six AA-size batteries into the battery compartment.

Make sure the positive + and negative - ends of the batteries are facing as shown in the illustration.

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

Tabs

• 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.

■ Low Battery Indication

The indicator shown below starts to flash to let you know when battery power is low. Replace the batteries with new ones.

Low battery indicator (flashes)

Playing the Digital Keyboard

Turning on Power and Playing

Press 1P (power).

This turns on power.

• To turn off power, hold down 1P (power) again.

Try playing something on the keyboard. Use 2 VOLUME to adjust volume.

• If you press 1P (power) only lightly, the display will light up momentarily but power will not turn on. This does not indicate malfunction. Press 1P (power) firmly and completely to turn on power.

• Turning off the Digital Keyboard causes most current settings to be cleared. The Digital Keyboard will revert to initial settings the next time you turn it on.

• Never try to perform any operation while the “Wait...” or “Bye” message is on the display. These messages indicate that an internal data save operation is being performed. Turning off the Digital Keyboard can cause Digital Keyboard data to be deleted or become corrupted.

• Pressing 1P (power) to turn off power actually puts the Digital Keyboard into a standby state. Minute amounts of current continue to flow within the Digital Keyboard in the standby state. If you do not plan to use the Digital Keyboard for a long time or if there is a lightning storm in your area, be sure to unplug the AC adaptor from the power outlet.

Auto Power Off

If you do not perform any operation on the Digital Keyboard for about 30 minutes, power will turn off automatically.

■ Disabling Auto Power Off

You can disable Auto Power Off to ensure that power is not turned off automatically during a concert, etc. See Function No.65 under “FUNCTION Button (cs) Functions” (page EN-40).

Using Headphones

Using headphones cuts off output from the built-in speakers, which means you can practice playing even late at night without disturbing others.

• Be sure to turn down the volume level before connecting headphones.

en PHONES/OUTPUT jack

• 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 you are using headphones that require an adaptor plug, make sure you do not leave the adaptor plugged in when removing the headphones.

Sounds

Select from a variety of musical instrument sounds

Your Digital Keyboard lets you select tones for a wide variety of musical instrument sounds, including violin, flute, orchestra, and more. Even the same song sound takes on a different feel by changing the instrument type.

To select an instrument for playing

Press bl TONE.

Tone number Tone name

Use the ct number keys, and the dk [–] and [+] keys to select the tone number you want.

• Use the number keys to enter the tone number. Specify three digits for the tone number. Example: To select 001, enter 0 3 0 3 1.

• To jump to the top tone of a category, first make sure a tone name is shown on the display. Next, hold down bo CATEGORY as you use the dk [–] and [+] keys to select the category you want.

• See the separate “Appendix” for a complete list of available tones.

• The Digital Keyboard has a number of “DSP tones”, which are tones with special effects. An indicator is shown on the display next to DSP TONE while a DSP tone is selected.

• When one of the drum sets is selected, each keyboard key is assigned a different percussion sound.

Try playing something on the keyboard.

The tone of the instrument you selected will sound.

Playing with a Piano or Organ Tone

Pressing bk PIANO/ORGAN toggles between the piano and organ modes. Each press of bk PIANO/ORGAN toggles the tone setting between a piano tone (Tone Number 001) and an organ tone (Tone Number 079).

In addition to the tone number, you also can configure the settings.

Example:

Rhythm Number: “176” (When a piano tone is selected)

“098” (When an organ tone is selected)

Layering and Splitting Tones

You can configure the keyboard to play two different tones at the same time (Layer) or to play different tones in the left and right ranges (Split). You can even use Layer and Split in combination with each other and play three different tones at the same time. The UPPER 1 part is used alone when playing an individual tone on the keyboard. When layering two tones, the UPPER 1 part and UPPER 2 parts are used. When splitting the keyboard between two tones, the low range of the keyboard plays the LOWER part.

• One tone across the entire keyboard (page EN-10)

This configuration uses the UPPER 1 part only (Layer: Off, Split: Off).

UPPER 1

• Two layered tones across the entire keyboard (page EN-11)

This configuration uses the UPPER 1 part and UPPER 2 part (Layer: On, Split: Off).
