-Do not attempt to recharge batteries that are not designed to be charged.

-Keep the batteries separate from metallic objects such as necklaces, hairpins, coins, and keys.

-Use the specified battery type (page 77) only.

-Use new batteries, all of which are the same type, same model, and made by the same manufacturer.

-Always make sure all batteries are inserted in conformity with the +/- polarity markings.

-When the batteries run out, or if the instrument is not to be used for a long time, remove the batteries from the instrument.

-When using Ni-MH batteries, follow the instructions that came with the batteries. Use only the specified charger device when charging.

•Keep batteries away from small children who might accidentally swallow them.

•If the batteries do leak, avoid contact with the leaked fluid. If the battery fluid should come in contact with your eyes, mouth, or skin, wash immediately with water and consult a doctor. Battery fluid is corrosive and may possibly cause loss of sight or chemical burns.

If you notice any abnormality

CAUTION

Always follow the basic precautions listed below to avoid the possibility of physical injury to you or others, or damage to the instrument or other property. These precautions include, but are not limited to, the following:

Power supply/AC adaptor

•Do not connect the instrument to an electrical outlet using a multiple-connector. Doing so can result in lower sound quality, or possibly cause overheating in the outlet.

•When removing the electric plug from the instrument or an outlet, always hold the plug itself and not the cord. Pulling by the cord can damage it.

•Remove the electric plug from the outlet when the instrument is not to be used for extended periods of time, or during electrical storms.

•Use only the stand specified for the instrument. When attaching it, use the provided screws only. Failure to do so could cause damage to the internal components or result in the instrument falling over.

Connections

•Before connecting the instrument to other electronic components, turn off the power for all components. Before turning the power on or off for all components, set all volume levels to minimum.

•Be sure to set the volumes of all components at their minimum levels and gradually raise the volume controls while playing the instrument to set the desired listening level.

Location

•Do not place the instrument in an unstable position where it might accidentally fall over.

•Before moving the instrument, remove all connected cables, to prevent damage to the cables or injury to anyone who might trip over them.

•When setting up the product, make sure that the AC outlet you are using is easily accessible. If some trouble or malfunction occurs, immediately turn off the power switch and disconnect the plug from the outlet. Even when the power switch is turned off, electricity is still flowing to the product at the minimum level. When you are not using the product for a long time, make sure to unplug the power cord from the wall AC outlet.

Handling caution

•Do not insert a finger or hand in any gaps on the instrument.

•Never insert or drop paper, metallic, or other objects into the gaps on the panel or keyboard. This could cause physical injury to you or others, damage to the instrument or other property, or operational failure.

•Do not rest your weight on, or place heavy objects on the instrument, and do not use excessive force on the buttons, switches or connectors.

•Do not use the instrument/device or headphones for a long period of time at a high or uncomfortable volume level, since this can cause permanent hearing loss. If you experience any hearing loss or ringing in the ears, consult a physician.

How sounds are output in the Duo mode

Notes played in the left Voice section sound from the left side speaker while notes played in the right Voice section sound from the right side speaker, in the initial Duo mode setting. This output setting can be changed from the “VoiceOut” setting (Function 027; page 46).

NOTE

•In the Duo mode, the pan, volume and tonal characteristics of the stereo sound may differ from those in the normal mode, due to the setting of VoiceOut = “Separate” (page 46). Particularly with Drum Kits, the difference may be more obvious, since each key of a Drum Kit features a different stereo pan position.

Using sustain in the Duo mode

Sustain can be applied to the left and right Voice sections in Duo mode just as it normally is by using one of the following methods in the Duo mode like the usual mode.

•Press the foot switch (page 14) connected to the [SUSTAIN] jack.

•Set “Sustain” (Function 024; page 46) to on. Sustain is applied to all notes.

NOTE

•Sustain cannot be applied independently to the left Voice section and the right Voice section.

•While Panel Sustain is on, the setting of hold is maintained even when the power is turned off.
