• When the Digital Piano is being operated on battery power only, notes may sound distorted when performing or playing back
a song at maximum volume. This is due to the difference between AC adaptor power and battery power, and does not
indicate Digital Piano malfunction. If you notice distortion, switch to AC adaptor power or lower the volume level.

Preparing a Power Supply
Your Digital Piano uses an AC adaptor for power.
• Though this Digital Piano supports battery operation, use of
an AC adaptor is generally recommended.
■ Using the AC Adaptor
Make sure that you use only the AC adaptor specified for this
Digital Piano. Use of a different type AC adaptor can cause
smoking or malfunction.
Specified AC Adaptor: AD-A12150LW
(JEITA Standard plug)
• Never connect the AC adaptor (JEITA Standard, with
unified polarity plug) that comes with this Digital Piano
to any other device besides this Digital Piano. Doing so
creates the risk of malfunction.
• Be sure to turn off Digital Piano 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 important precautions below 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 Piano, 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.
• 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.
• Plug the AC adaptor into a power outlet that is close to
the Digital Piano. 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 Piano 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.
• AC Adaptor Usage Environment
Temperature: 0 to 40°C
Humidity: 10% to 90%RH

Overview and Setup
Tabs
■ Using Batteries
• Be sure to turn off power before loading batteries.
• It is up to you to prepare six commercially available
alkaline batteries.
• Note the precautions below while the Digital Piano is
turned upside down to load batteries.
− Take care to avoid injury due to pinching your
fingers under the Digital Piano.
− Do not allow the Digital Piano to tip over or otherwise
be subjected to strong impact. Impact can damage
the volume knob and keyboard keys.
1.
Open the battery cover on the bottom of the
Digital Piano.
2.
Load six AA-size batteries into the battery
compartment.
Make sure the positive + and negative - ends of the
batteries are facing as marked on the Digital Piano.
3.
Insert the tabs of the battery cover into the
holes along the side of the battery
compartment, and close the cover.
Turning Power On or Off
1.
Before turning on power, rotate the 2 volume
knob as far as it will go in the direction shown
in the illustration below.
2.
Press the 1P (Power) button to turn on
power.
Turning on power will cause the lights of the front panel
touch button to light in sequence from left to right
(3 FUNCTION to 8 GRAND PIANO). The Digital
Piano is ready to play when all touch button lights are lit.
• After pressing 1P (Power) to turn on power, do not
press any pedal until the Digital Piano is ready to play
(all touch buttons lit).
• Power may not turn on if you press the 1P (Power)
button too lightly. This does not indicate malfunction. If
this happens, apply more pressure when you press the
1P (Power) button.
■ Low Battery Indicator
Low power is indicated when the lights of all the touch
buttons, except for the 3 FUNCTION, start to flash. When
this happens, try lowering the volume level. If this does not
stop the flashing, replace the batteries with new ones.
• Using the Digital Piano while batteries are very low can
cause it to turn off suddenly. This can cause data
stored in Digital Piano memory to be corrupted or lost.
• Low battery power can cause abnormal operation. If
this happens, replace batteries with new ones.
3.
Use the 2 volume knob to adjust volume.
4.
To turn off power, hold down the 1P (Power)
button until all lit touch button lights turn off.
• Pressing the 1P (Power) button to turn off power actually
puts the Digital Piano into a standby state. Minute amounts
of current continue to flow within the Digital Piano in the
standby state. If you do not plan to use the Digital Piano 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.
• Turning off power normally causes the tone number and
other settings to return to their initial defaults. You can
enable Auto Resume (page EN-45), which will save most
settings when power is turned off.
• If Auto Resume is disabled, turning off power will initialize
settings, except for tuning (page EN-15) and touch button
luminosity (page EN-45).

■ Power On Alert
After about six minutes of non-operation while the Digital
Piano is being powered by its AC adaptor, the Power On Alert
function will cause touch button lights to turn on and off
sequentially to remind you that power is on. Button lights will
return to normal (all button lights lit) if you touch a button, play
something on the keyboard, or perform some other operation.
To turn off power, hold down the 1P (Power) button until all
lit touch button lights turn off.
• You can enable or disable the power on reminder as
required. See “Other Settings” (page EN-45).
• If you are using batteries to power the Digital Piano, power
will turn off automatically after about six minutes of nonuse. See “Auto Power Off” (page EN-7).
■ Returning to Initial Factory Defaults
You can use Factory Reset (Initialization) to return the Digital
Piano’s stored data and settings to their initial factory defaults
any time you want. For more information, see “Factory Reset
(Initialization)” (page EN-47).
Auto Power Off
This Digital Piano is designed to turn off automatically to avoid
wasting power after no operation is performed for a preset
amount of time. The Auto Power Off trigger time is about four
hours when power is being supplied by the AC adaptor, or six
minutes under battery power.
• You can disable Auto Power Off to ensure that power does
not turn off automatically during a concert, etc. To disable
Auto Power Off, perform the procedure below.
■ To enable or disable Auto Power Off
1.
While holding down 3 FUNCTION, press the
B}0 keyboard key.
• Each press of the B}0 keyboard key sounds a
notification tone and toggles Auto Power off between
enabled and disabled. For more information, see
“Notification Tones” (page EN-10).
Using a Pedal
Connect the supplied pedal (SP-3) to the bm DAMPER
PEDAL jack.
Back
This pedal functions as a damper pedal under initial Digital
Piano default settings. To change it to a different function
(soft, sostenuto, etc.), see “Changing Pedal Functions” (page
EN-44).
■ PEDAL UNIT Jack
You can connect the optionally available 3-Pedal Unit (SP-34)
to the bn PEDAL UNIT jack on the back of the Digital Piano.
You can then use the pedals for expression that is similar to
that available on an acoustic piano.
SP-34 Pedal Functions
● Damper Pedal
Pressing the damper pedal while playing will cause the notes
you play to reverberate. The SP-34 pedal also supports halfpedal operation, so pressing the pedal part way applies only a
partial damper effect.
● Soft Pedal
Pressing this pedal suppresses notes played on the keyboard
after the pedal was pressed, and makes them sound softer.
● Sostenuto Pedal
Only the notes of the keys that are depressed when this pedal
is pressed are sustained, even if the keyboard keys are
released, until the pedal is released.
2.
After the setting is the way you want, release
