100 Sounds — let you set your Concertmate 970 to sound like anything from a harpsichord to a honky-tonk piano.

12-Note Polyphonic Sound — lets you play and hear up to 12 notes at the same time so you can play or create almost any type of music.

Tempo Control — lets you speed up or slow down the tempo of any selected music pattern.

50 Auto-Rhythms — give you a steady beat for many styles of music from rhumba to slow rock.

Fill-In Rhythm — lets you insert a short variation into any auto-rhythm.

PREPARATION

CONNECTING POWER

You can power your Concertmate 970 in any of these ways.

Internal batteries (see “Using Batteries”)

Standard AC power using an optional AC adapter (see “Using AC Power” on Page 6)

A vehicle’s cigarette lighter socket using an optional DC adapter (see “Using Vehicle Battery Power” on Page 6)

Notes:

Connecting an AC or DC adapter automatically disconnects internal batteries.

Always disconnect the adapter when you finish using the Concertmate 970.

Using Batteries

Your Concertmate 970 can use six AA batteries (not supplied) for power. For the best performance, we recommend alkaline batteries, such as RadioShack Cat. No. 23-557.

Cautions:

Only use fresh batteries of the required size and type.

Be sure POWER/MODE is set to OFF while you install batteries.

1. Press the tab on the battery compartment cover, then pull up to remove the cover.

2. Put the batteries in the compartment as indicated by the polarity symbols (+ and –) marked beside the compartment .

+ -

3. Replace the cover.

Notes:

If you won’t be using the Concertmate 970 with batteries for a week or more, or if you will be using only AC or vehicle battery power, remove the batteries.

If the Concertmate 970 sounds weak or does not work properly, replace all six batteries. Do not mix old and new batteries.

Caution: Dispose of old batteries promptly and properly.

42-4032.fm Page 6 Wednesday, August 11, 1999 4:45 PM

Using AC Power

You can power your Concertmate 970 from standard AC power using a 9-volt AC adapter (not supplied), such as RadioShack Cat. No. 273-1656.

Cautions:

You must use an AC adapter that supplies 9 volts and delivers at least 800 milliamps. Its center tip must be set to negative, and its plug must correctly fit the Concertmate 970’s DC 9V jack. The recommended adapter meets these specifications. Using an adapter that does not meet these specifications could damage the Concertmate 970 or the adapter.

Always plug the AC adapter into the Concertmate 970 before you plug it into the AC outlet. Always unplug the AC adapter from the AC outlet before you unplug it from the Concertmate 970.

Be sure POWER/MODE is set to OFF when you connect or disconnect the adapter.

PHONES/

DC 9V

OUTPUT

 

1.Insert the adapter’s barrel plug into the DC 9V jack on the back of the Concertmate 970.

2.Plug the adapter into a standard AC outlet.

Using Vehicle Battery Power

You can power your Concertmate 970 from your vehicle’s cigarette lighter socket using a 9-volt DC adapter (not supplied), such as RadioShack Cat. No. 270-1562.

Cautions:

You must use a DC adapter that supplies 9 volts and delivers at least 800 milliamps. Its center tip must be set to negative, and its plug must properly fit the Concertmate 970’s DC 9V jack. The recommended adapter meets these specifications. Using an adapter that does not meet these specifications could damage the Concertmate 970 or the adapter.

Always plug the DC adapter into the Concertmate 970 before you plug it into the cigarette lighter socket. Always unplug the DC adapter from the cigarette lighter socket before you unplug it from the Concertmate 970.

Be sure POWER/MODE is set to OFF while you connect or disconnect the adapter.

PHONES/

DC 9V

OUTPUT

 

1.Plug the 5.5 mm outer diameter/ 2.1 mm inner diameter barrel plug into the cable so it reads – TIP.

2.Set the adapter’s voltage switch to 9 volts.

3.Insert the adapter’s barrel plug into the DC 9V jack on the back of the Concertmate 970.

4.Plug the other end of the adapter into the vehicle’s cigarette lighter socket.

CONNECTING

HEADPHONES

To listen to your Concertmate 970 without disturbing others, you can connect a pair of 1/4-inch plug stereo headphones (not supplied). Your local RadioShack store sells a wide selection of headphones.

To connect a pair of headphones, insert the headphones’ 1/4-inch plug into the PHONES/OUTPUT jack on the back of the keyboard.

Note: Connecting headphones disconnects the Concertmate 970’s built-in speakers.

Listening Safely

To protect your hearing, follow these guidelines when you use headphones.

Set the volume to the lowest setting before you begin listening. After you begin listening, adjust the volume to a comfortable level.

Do not listen at extremely high volume levels. Extended highvolume listening can lead to permanent hearing loss.

Once you set the volume, do not increase it. Over time, your ears adapt to the volume level, so a volume level that does not cause discomfort might still damage your hearing.

42-4032.fm Page 8 Wednesday, August 11, 1999 4:45 PM

CONNECTING AN EXTERNAL AMPLIFIER

To amplify your Concertmate 970’s sound, you can connect it to an external amplifier (not supplied) using an audio cable with a 1/4-inch plug (not supplied).

To connect an external amplifier to your keyboard, insert the cable’s 1/4- inch plug into the PHONES/OUTPUT jack on the back of the keyboard, and connect the cable’s other end to the amplifier’s input jack(s) (such as AUX IN or TAPE IN).

PHONES/
