Troubleshooting
Problem The speakers produce a pop sound
whenever the power is turned ON/OFF. Speakers do not produce sound when
the keyboard is played. There is noise when I use a mobile
phone.
Possible Cause and Solution This is normal and no cause for alarm.
1. Check if the master volume is set too low.
2. Check if headphones are plugged into the PHONES jack. Using a mobile phone in close proximity to the instrument may
produce interference. To prevent this, turn off the mobile phone or use it farther away from the instrument.
When connecting to computer, the instrument cannot be recognized.
Check if the USB cable is firmly connected. Try connecting another USB port on the computer. This instrument is plug and play and
should work without installing a driver. The pedal does not respond. It shuts down after a period of time.
Check if the pedal cable is firmly connected.
The auto power off function will turn off the instrument after a preset
period of time when the instrument is not in use. You can configure
the Auto Power Off function, please refer to Auto Power Off in this
manual.
