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 twistingNo pullingNo 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.

Connecting with Audio
Equipment
You can connect the Digital Keyboard to a commercially
available stereo system or amplifier, or to a recording device.
You can also use the Digital Keyboard to sound output from a
portable audio player or another device, and use that as
backing for your keyboard play.
■ Sounding Digital Keyboard Output on an
External Device
Connection requires commercially available connecting cords,
supplied by you.
• The connecting cord should have a stereo mini plug on one
end and a plug that matches the configuration of the input
jack of the external device on the other end.
• Turn off the external device and the Digital Keyboard
before connecting them. Before turning power on or
off, turn down the volume level of the Digital Keyboard
and external devices.
• After connecting, turn on the Digital Keyboard first and
then the external device.
• If Digital Keyboard notes are distorted when they are
sounded on an external audio device, lower the Digital
Keyboard’s volume level.
• Once you are able to connect successfully, you can leave
the USB cable connected when you turn off your computer
and/or Digital Keyboard.
• For detailed specifications and connections that apply to
