used as instructed.
*Material damage here means a damage to the room, furniture or animals or pets.
WARNING
u Do not open (or modify in any way) the unit or its AC
adaptor.
u Do not attempt to repair the unit, or replace parts in
it. Refer all servicing to your retailer, the nearest Hammond Dealer, or an authorized Hammond distributor,
as listed on the “Service” page.
u Never use or store the unit in places that are:
w Subject to temperature extremes (e.g., direct sun-
light in an enclosed vehicle, near a heating duct,
on top of heat generating equipment)
w Damp (e.g., baths, washrooms, on wet oors)
w Humid
w Exposed to rain
w Dusty
w Subject to high levels of vibration.
u Be sure to use only the AC adaptor supplied with the
unit. And, make sure the line voltage at the installation
matches the input voltage specied on the AC adaptor’s case. Other AC adaptors may use a dierent polarity, or be designed for a dierent voltage, their use
could result in damage, malfunction, or electric shock.
u Do not excessively twist or bend the power cord, or
place heavy objects on it. Doing so can damage the
cord, producing severed elements and short circuits.
Damaged cords are re and shock hazards!
u is unit, either alone or in combination with an am-
plier and headphones or speakers, may be capable of
producing sound levels that could cause permanent
hearing loss. Do not operate for a extended periods of
time at a high volume level, or at a level that is uncomfortable. If you experience any hearing loss or ringing in the ears, you should immediately stop using the
unit, and consult a physician.
u Do not allow any objects (e.g., ammable material,
coins, pins); or liquids of any kind (water, so drinks,
etc.) to penetrate the unit.
u Immediately turn the power o, remove the AC adap-
tor from the outlet, and request servicing by your retailer, the nearest Hammond Dealer, or an authorized
Hammond distributor, as listed on the “Service” page

w e AC adaptor, the power-supply cord, or the
plug has been damaged; or
w If smoke or unusual odor occurs
w Objects have fallen into, or liquid has been spilled
onto the unit; or
w e unit has been exposed to rain (or otherwise
has become wet); or
w e unit does not appear to operate normally or
exhibits a marked change in performance.
u In households with small children, an adult should
provide supervision until the child is capable of following all the rules essential for the safe operation of
the unit.
u Protect the unit from strong impact. (Do not drop it!)
u Do not force the unit’s power-supply cord to share an
outlet with an unreasonable number of other devices.
Be especially careful when using extension cords - the
total power used by all devices you have connected
to the extension cord’s outlet must never exceed the
power rating (watts/amperes) for the extension cord.
Excessive loads can cause the insulation on the cord to
heat up and eventually melt through.
u Before using the unit in a foreign country, consult
with your retailer, the nearest Hammond Dealer, or
an authorized Hammond distributor, as listed on the
“Service” page.
u Do not put anything that contains water (e.g., ower

IMPORTANT - PLEASE READ
uPower Supply
u Do not use this unit on the same power circuit with any
device that will generate line noise (such as an electric motor or variable lighting system).
u e AC adaptor will begin to generate heat after long hours
of consecutive use. is is normal, and is not a cause for
concern.
u Before connecting this unit to other devices, turn off the
power to all units. is will help prevent malfunctions and/
or damage to speakers or other devices.
uPlacement
u Using the unit near power amplifiers (or other equipment
containing large power transformers) may induce hum. To
alleviate the problem, change the orientation of this unit; or
move it farther away from the source of interference.
u is device may interfere with radio and television recep-
tion. Do not use this device in the vicinity of such receivers.
u Noise may be produced if wireless communications devices,
such as cell phones, are operated in the vicinity of this unit.
Such noise could occur when receiving or initiating a call,
or while conversing. Should you experience such problems,
you should relocate such wireless devices so they are at a
greater distance from this unit, or switch them off.
u Do not expose the unit to direct sunlight, place it near de-
vices that radiate heat, leave it inside an enclosed vehicle, or
otherwise subject it to temperature extremes. Also, do not
allow lighting devices that normally are used while their
light source is very close to the unit (such as a piano light),
or powerful spotlights to shine upon the same area of the
unit for extended periods of time. Excessive heat can deform or discolor the unit.
u When moved from one location to another where the tem-
perature and/or humidity is very different, water droplets
(condensation) may form inside the unit. Damage or malfunction may result if you attempt to use the unit in this
condition. erefore, before using the unit, you must allow it to stand for several hours, until the condensation has
completely evaporated.
u Do not allow rubber, vinyl, or similar materials to remain
on the unit for long periods of time. Such objects can discolor or otherwise harmfully affect the finish.
u Do not paste stickers, decals, or the like to this instrument.
Peeling such matter off the instrument may damage the exterior finish.
kind, to avoid the possibility of discoloration and/or deformation.
uAdditional Precautions
u Please be aware that the contents of memory can be irre-
trievably lost as a result of a malfunction, or the improper
operation of the unit. To protect yourself against the risk of
losing important data, we recommend that you periodically
save a backup copy of important data you have stored in the
unit’s memory in another MIDI device (e.g., a sequencer).
u Unfortunately, it may be impossible to restore the contents
of data that was stored in another MIDI device (e.g., a sequencer) once it has been lost. Hammond assumes no liability concerning such loss of data.
u Use a reasonable amount of care when using the unit’s but-
tons, sliders, or other controls; and when using its jacks and
connectors. Rough handling can lead to malfunctions.
u When connecting / disconnecting all cables, grasp the
connector itself - never pull on the cable. is will avoid
causing short circuits, or damage to the cable’s internal elements.
u To avoid disturbing your neighbors, try to keep the unit's
volume at reasonable levels. You may prefer to use headphones, so you do not need to be concerned about those
around you (especially when it is late at night).
u When you need to transport the unit, package it in the box
(including padding) that it came in, if possible. Otherwise,
you will need to use equivalent packaging materials.
uMaintenance
u To clean the unit, use a dry, soft cloth; or one that is slightly
dampened.
u To remove stubborn dirt off plastic parts, use a cloth im-
pregnated with a mild, non-abrasive detergent. Afterwards,
be sure to wipe the unit thoroughly with a soft, dry cloth.
Try to wipe the entire surface using an equal amount of
strength, moving the cloth along with the grain of the
wood. Rubbing too hard in the same area can damage the
finish.
u Never use benzine, thinners, alcohol or solvents of any

BASIC CONNECTION OF THE LESLIE SPEAKER
Connect the Leslie Speaker #2101, or #2101mk2 and the Leslie 8-PIN jack on this keyboard with the exclusive 8-pin Leslie cable (optional LC-8-7M, not included).
NOTE: The Leslie terminal on this unit is of 8-pin specications. It is impossible to directly con-
nect a 11-pin spec. Leslie speaker.
1. Make the setting of Tone-Wheel organ.
2. Switch “ON” the [BYPASS] button, set the [STATIONARY VOLUME] of the
#2101/mk2 at desired volume.
3. Repeat “ON/OFF” the [BYPASS] button with playing the keyboard, set the [ROTARY VOLUME] of the #2101/mk2 at same volume which you can hear.
MIDI CONTROL OF THE LESLIE SPEAKER
To control the parameters of the Leslie Speaker #2101, #2101mk2 (fine adjustment of
the rotor speed or the rise time, etc.):
1. Connect the MIDI OUT of this unit with the MIDI IN of the Leslie speaker with a
MIDI cable.
2. Set the keyboard channel - UPPER and the Leslie MIDI channel to the same channel. (P. 111)
When this unit detects that the Leslie speaker is connected, the Leslie parameters sent
through MIDI from this unit are switched from the SK original to those for the Leslie
speaker.
LESLIE SPEAKERS TO BE CONNECTED
This keyboard is designed to connect with 3
channel Leslie speakers such as #2101. However, it is also possible to connect 1 channel
type Leslie speakers such as #3300 sending
the stationary channels to the LINE OUT jacks
independently. (P. 86)
LESLIE CHANNEL
3 channel type Leslie speakers are equipped
with a stereo speaker system, independent of
the rotor, to provide stereo sound for the Extra
Voices and direct organ sounds.
A traditional 1-channel Leslie, such as a #122
or #147 has no stationary speaker system, thus
requiring a separate amplier/speaker for the
Extra Voices or direct organ sounds.
