WARNING

: When using electric products, basic precautions should always be

followed, including the following:

1. Read all of the Safety and Installation Instructions and Explanation of Graphic Symbols before using the product.

2. This product must be grounded. If it should malfunction or break down, grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock. This product is equipped with a power supply cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an appropriate outlet which is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.

DANGER

: Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock. Do not modify the plug provided with the product-if it will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician. Do

not use an adaptor which defeats the function of the equipment-grounding conductor. If you are in doubt as to whether the product is properly grounded, check with a qualified serviceman or electrician.

3. Do not use this product near water-for example, near a bathtub, washbowl, kitchen sink, in a wet basement, or near a swimming pool, or the like.

6. The product should be located so that its location or position does not interfere with its proper ventilation.

7. This product should be located away from heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, or other products that produce heat.

8. This product should be connected to a power supply only of the type described in the operating instructions or as marked on the product.

9. This product may be equipped with a polarized line plug (one blade wider

than be other). This is a safety feature. If you are unable to insert the plug into the outlet, contact an

electrician to replace your obsolete outlet. Do not

defeat the safety purpose of the plug.

10. The power supply cord of the product should be unplugged from the outlet when left unused for a long period of time. When unplugging the power supply cord, do not pull on the cord, but grasp it by the plug.

11. Care should be taken so that objects do not fall and liquids are not spilled into the enclosure through openings.

12. The product should be serviced by qualified service personnel when: A. The power supply cord or the plug has been damaged; B. Objects have fallen, or liquid has been spilled into the product; C. The product has been exposed to rain; D. The product does not appear to be operating normally or exhibits a

marked change in performance;

Place the keyboard on the stand so that the wood pegs on the top of the side panel fit into the holes on the bottom surface of the keyboard.

Attach the side panels to the keyboard with the metal brackets. Use the bolt 12 for the front hole, and 9 for the rear.

Insert the pedal cable connector to the jack on the bottom surface of the keyboard as shown in the left figure.

Locate the unit to the desired place and rotate the height adjustment screw until it supports the pedal box, preventing the pedal box from bending when you press the pedals.

Power Supply

The Mark Pro TWOi is a free volt product which can be used both on 110V and 220V. You can power this digital piano by plugging it into a standard household power outlet. Make sure the power switch on the bottom surface of the keyboard is turned off before you connect the power cord to the electrical outlet.

After connecting to the outlet, you may turn on the power switch located at the bottom left of the keyboard. Check the main volume knob is fully down to the left. When the power switch is turned on, the front panel lights up. In 3 seconds the Mark-Pro TWOi is ready to play.

Installation

Controlling the Main Volume

Use the volume knob located on the far left of the front panel to adjust the volume. Set the volume to the minimum when turning on the instrument and adjust it to the desired level later. Moving the knob clockwise increases volume, while moving it counter clockwise decreases volume.

SOFT SOSTENUTO SUSTAIN

The keyboard of the Mark-Pro TWOi has 88 weighted hammer action keys that will ensure you will have the original piano feeling when playing. They are also touch-sensitive for a true piano feel. In other words, the harder you press the keys (the faster, to be exact), the louder and brighter the sound gets. It is called “velocity-sensitive” in more technical terms. The Mark-Pro TWOi provides you with 7 different sensitivity levels you can choose from for the entire keyboard. See “keyboard touch” on page 41 for more information on the touch sensitivity level.

In addition to the keyboard, the Mark-Pro TWOi is equipped with sustain, sostenuto and soft pedals for the complete acoustic piano experience. These pedals functions exactly the same as those on grand pianos:

The soft pedal makes the volume softer when pressed. But it will not affect the volume of notes that are already played.

Press the sostenuto pedal while holding a note on the keyboard, and the note will sustain as long as you hold the pedal. But all the subsequently play notes will not be sustained.

The Sustain pedal lets the notes ring on after the keys are released. Releasing the pedal will silence the sustained notes.
