Volume
¢ Very high volume levels can damage hearing. Avoid
using the instrument at very high volume settings for
long periods. Consult with a physician immediately if
you experience impaired hearing or ringing in the ears.
Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) Precautions
* Avoid subjecting the keyboard's LCD to strong impact,
which can crack or break the LCD's glass creating the
danger of personal injury.
Should the LCD glass ever crack or break, do not allow
the liquid inside the LCD to come into contact with
your skin, which can cause inflammation and redden-
ing.
*Should the LCD liquid get into your mouth, immedi-
ately wash out your mouth with water and then con-
sult a physician.
*Should the LCD liquid get in your eyes or on your
skin, immediately flush with water for at least 15 min-
utes and then consult a physician.
Do not get onto the instrument or stand.*
¢ Do not crawl on top of the instrument or its optional
stand. Particular caution is required in homes having
small children. This may cause the instrument or stand
to tip over and break resulting in injury.
Optional Stand*
* Carefully assemble the stand following the assembly
instructions that come with it. Securely tighten all bolts,
nuts, and fasteners, and make sure that you mount the
instrument correctly onto the stand. Incorrectly or in-
sufficiently tightening screws, or incorrectly mounting
the instrument onto the stand can cause the stand to tip
over or the instrument to fall off the stand, possibly
leading to injury.
*The stand is available as an option.

Avoid heat, humidity or direct sunlight.
Do not overexpose the instrument to direct sunlight, or place it
near an air conditioner, or in any extremely hot place.
Do not use near a TV or radio.
This instrument can cause video or audio interference with TV
and radio reception. If this happens, move the instrument away
from the TV or radio.
Do not use lacquer, thinner or similar
chemicals for cleaning.
Clean the keyboard with a soft cloth dampened in a weak solu-
tion of water and a neutral detergent. Soak the cloth in the solu-
tion and squeeze until it is almost dry.
Avoid use in areas subjected to temper-
ature extremes.
Extreme heat can cause figures on the LCD screen to become dim
and difficult to read. This condition should correct itself when the
keyboard is brought back to normal temperature.
NOTES
You may notice lines in the finish of the case of this keyboard. These
lines are a result of the molding process used to shape the plastic of
the case. They are not cracks or breaks in the plastic, and are no
cause for concern.

Phones/Output Terminal
Before connecting phones or other external equipment, be sure to
first turn down the volume settings of the keyboard and the con-
nected equipment. You can then adjust volume to the desired lev-
el after connections are complete.
[Rear Panel}
PHONES/OUTPUT Terminal
Connecting Phones (Figure @)
Connecting phones cuts off output from the keyboard's built-in
speakers, so you can play even late at night without disturbing
anyone.
Audio Equipment (Figure @)
Connect the keyboard to a audio equipment using a commercial-
ly available connecting cord with a standard plug on one end and
two PIN plugs on the other end. Note that the standard plug you
connect to the keyboard must be a stereo plug, otherwise you will
be able to output only one of stereo channels. In this configura-
tion, you normally set the input selector of the audio equipment
to the terminal (usually marked AUX IN or something similar)
where the cord from the keyboard is connected. See the user doc-
umentation that comes with your audio equipment for full de-
tails.
Musical Instrument Amplifier (Figure @)
Use a commercially available connecting cord to connect the key-
board to a musical instrument amplifier.
HNOTES
Be sure to use a connecting cord that has a stereo standard plug on
the end you connect to the keyboard, and a connector that provides
dual channel (left and right) input to the amplifier to which you are
connecting. The wrong type of connector at either end can cause one
of the stereo channels to be lost.
When connected to a musical instrument amplifier, set the vol-
ume of the keyboard to a relatively low level and make output
volume adjustments using the amplifier’s controls.

Important Battery Information
@ The following shows the approximate battery life provided
by different battery types.
¢ Standard battery life: Approximately 2 hours (SUM-3/R6P)
Approximately 6 hours (AM3/LR6)
Both of the above values are standard battery life at normal
temperature, with the keyboard volume at a medium setting.
Temperature extremes or playing at very loud volume settings
can shorten battery life.
Mf Any of the following symptoms indicate low battery power.
Replace batteries as soon as possible whenever any of the fol-
lowing occurs.
¢ Dim power supply indicator
¢ Dim, difficult to read display
e Abnormally low speaker/ headphone volume
¢ Distortion of sound output
¢ Occasional interruption of sound when playing at high vol-
umes
¢ Sudden power failure when playing at high volumes
¢ Dimming of the display playing at high volume
¢ Abnormal rhythm or Song Bank tune play
IMPORTANT!
Improper handiing of batteries can cause them to burst and leak,
which creates the danger of personal injury or damage due to
contact with battery acid. Be sure to note the following important
precautions.
¢ Always make sure that the positive (+) and negative (-) poles are
facing correctly as indicated inside the battery compartment.
¢ To avoid damage caused by leaking batteries, be sure to re-
move batteries from the keyboard whenever you leave it unat-
tended for long periods (such as when leaving on a trip).
* Never mix batteries of different types. ad
¢ Never mix old batteries with new ones.
E-10
¢ Never discard batteries by incinerating them, do not allow their
poles to be shorted (connected to each other), never take bat-
teries apart, and do not expose batteries to direct heat.
¢ Replace batteries as soon as possible after any sign they are
getting weak.
« Never attempt to recharge batteries.
Using the AC Adaptor

AC outlet
Also note the following important warnings and precautions when
using the AC adaptor.
WARNING!
* Take care to avoid any damage to or breakage of the power cord.
Never place any heavy objects on the power cord or expose it to
direct heat. Doing so creates the danger of power cord damage,
fire, and electrical shock.
* Use only the specified AC adaptor. Use of another type of adaptor
creates the danger of fire and electrical shock.
CAUTION!
¢ For safety sake, be sure to unplug the AC adaptor from the wall
outlet whenever leaving the keyboard unattended for a long time
(such as when leaving on a trip).
* Always turn off the keyboard and unplug the AC adaptor from the
wall outlet when you are not using the keyboard.
IMPORTANT!
¢ Make sure that the keyboard is turned off before connecting or
disconnecting the AC adaptor.
* Using the AC adaptor for a long time can cause it to become
warm to the touch. This is normal and does not indicate mal-
function.

an acoustical wood bass sound.
ENOTES!
* Always input both digits for the tone number, including a leading
Zero (if any). If you input one digit and stop, the display will automat-
ically clear your input after a few seconds.
¢ You can also increment the displayed tone number by pressing [+]
and decrement it by pressing [-].
* The tone named “99 PERCUSSION” assigns various percussion
musical instruments to keys on the keyboard. (page A-2)
Keyboard split tones
Some of the preset tones split the keyboard and assign two or
more sounds. With such a preset tone, the sound produced de-
pends on what position of the keyboard you play. For example,
BASS/PIANO (tone 90) puts BASS on the left and PIANO on the
right of the keyboard.
Example: BASS/PIANO (tone 90)

Polyphony
The term polyphony refers to the maximum number of notes you
can play at the same time. The keyboard has 12-note polyphony,
which includes the notes you play as well as the rhythms and
auto-accompaniment patterns that are played by the keyboard.
This means that when a rhythm or auto-accompaniment pattern
is being played by the keyboard, the number of notes (polypho-
ny) available for keyboard play is reduced. Also note that some of
the tones offer only 6-note polyphony.
¢ When rhythm or auto accompaniment is playing, the number
of sounds simultaneously played is reduced.
Digital Sampling
A number of the tones that are available with this keyboard have
been recorded and processed using a technique called digital sam-
pling. To ensure a high level of tonal quality, samples are taken in
the low, mid, and high ranges and then combined to provide you
with sounds that are amazingly close to the originals. You may
notice very slight differences in volume or sound quality for some
tones when you play them at different positions on the keyboard.
This is an unavoidable result of multiple sampling, and it is not a
sign of malfunction. :
