Power Supply

Either an AC adaptor or batteries can be used to power this Digital Keyboard. Normally, use of AC adaptor power is recommended.

•The AD-5 AC adaptor does not come with this Digital Keyboard. Purchase it separately from your retailer. See page E-1 for information about options.

Using the AC Adaptor

Use the AD-5 AC adaptor when you want to power the Digital Keyboard from a household electrical outlet.

DC 9V terminal						AD-5

Household power outlet

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

Using Batteries

•Be sure to turn off power before loading batteries.

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

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

2.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.

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

Auto Power Off (Using Batteries)

While you are using batteries for power, power will turn off automatically if you do not perform any operation for about six minutes. Auto Power Off is disabled while the AC adaptor is being used for power.

■ Disabling Auto Power Off

1.While holding down br, turn on power.

Auto Power Off will be disabled.

Power On Alert (Using the AC Adaptor)

Playing the Digital Keyboard

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.

PHONES/OUTPUT jack

•Headphones do not come with the Digital Keyboard.

•Use commercially available headphones. See page E-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.

Changing Keyboard Response to Touch Pressure

(Touch Response)

Touch Response alters tone volume in accordance with keyboard pressure (speed). This provides you some of the same expressivity you get on an acoustic piano.

Keyboard Instrument Sound Intensity

■Sound intensity depends on the speed that keys are pressed.

People normally believe that the stronger the pressure applied to a piano keyboard, the louder the sound. Actually, however, the intensity of the notes played depends on the speed at which keys are pressed. Notes are louder when keys are pressed quickly, and quieter when keys are pressed slowly. Keeping this in mind as you play a keyboard musical instrument lets you control note volume without striving to apply too much pressure with your fingertips.

■ The playability of an acoustic piano

Your Digital Keyboard provides you with key touch that is the next best thing to an acoustic piano. Note volume changes automatically in accordance with key press speed.

Pressing fast produces louder notes.

Pressing slowly produces softer notes.

Do not try to use too much pressure.
