5.Warnings

When using electric products, it is necessary to follow certain basic precautions, including:

1. Carefully read the manual before using the instrument.

2. The presence of an adult is required when the instrument is used by children.

3. Do not use the instrument near water like, for example, near a washbasin, a swimming pool, on a wet surface, etc.

4. The instrument is able to generate such sound level to cause permanent damaged to hearing. Do not use for long periods

with high volume.

If you notice a hearing loss immediately consult a doctor.

5. The instrument must be displaced in order to allow its adequate ventilation.

6. The instrument must be displaced away from heat sources like radiators, stoves, solar ray, etc.

7. Do not obstruct the air inlets of the power supplier with objects like curtains, clothes, etc.

8. Do not place objects with naked flames on the keyboard like for example ignited candles.

9. Ensure objects or liquids do not fall inside the cabinet.

10. Ensure there is sufficient ventilation to the adapter: the ventilation slots must not be covered with objects like newspapers, table

cloths, curtains, etc...

11. The instrument must be taken to an after-sales assistance centre if:

a) It has been exposed to rain.

b) It does not seem to work normally or shows an evident decrease in performance.

c) It has fallen or the cabinet is damaged.

d) Objects or liquid has fallen inside.

e) The adapter AC/DC socket is damaged.

12. Do not attempt to repair the instrument yourself; all operations must be carried out by authorised staff penalty the voiding of

the warranty rules.

13. Do not clean using alcohol, solvents or similar chemical substances. Clean the instrument using a soft cloth dampened in a

mild solution of water and neutral detergent. Soak the cloth in the solution and wring out until almost dry.

ADAPTER WARNINGS

1. When connecting the plug to the mains ensure:

a) not to have wet hands (danger of electric shock);

b) not to pull it from the cable, but from the same plug.

2. The instrument must be connected to the mains only using the AC/DC adapter envisioned by the manufacturer. Alternatively,

another AC/DC adapter can be used, as long as it has the same nominal values of those of the adapter supplied with

the equipment, with the same or better features. The identification and power supply data are on the bottom of the same

product.

3. When the instrument is not used for long periods, the AC/DC adapter must be disconnected from the mains.

4. The AC/DC adapter must be directly connected to the mains: do not interpose other plugs.

5. Do not expose the adapter to drops or squirts of water.

6. Do not position the adapter behind furniture or in hidden positions.

ITALIANO

6.Power supply

The power supply is supplied by the provided AC/DC ADS 1332 adapter (V = 13.5Vdc / I = 3.25 A) central positive.

Such equipment is compliance with the national and international Standards on electrical safety.

Insert the jack in the DC 13,5V socket. Alternatively, another AC/DC adapter can be used, as long as it has the same nominal

values of those of the adapter supplied with the equipment, with the same or better features.

RECOMMENDATION: The network socket must be easily accessible to be able to connect the adapter’s plug.

ATTENTION: Every adapter, even if equipped with safety insulation, must be regularly examined to avoid possible risks due to

damages to the cable, to the plug, to the casing or to other parts. In case of faults, only contact qualified staff.

The DP 300 Digital piano is equipped with a USB-MIDI socket for connection to a personal computer. Connection is carried out

using a USB cable (not included) as shown in the figure:

Minimum system requisites

Personal Computer with Pentium3 processor at 800Mhz equipped with USB socket. Windows XP, Windows VISTA or

Windows 7 operational system.

Procedure for computer connection

Before connecting the keyboard, ensure that the computer is switched on and the keyboard is switched off.

Once the connection with the USB cable (not included) is carried out, switch-on the instrument.

After a few seconds, a series of messages will appear on the computer:

Now the keyboard is correctly connected and recognised by the computer.

Notes:

The recognition of the keyboard by the computer happens upon first connection; no message will appear on subsequent

connections, but a characteristic acoustic signal will be heard made by the computer to indicate the insertion of a USB

device.

Should the keyboard not be recognised by the computer and an error of unrecognised peripheral appears, repeat the operation;

if the problem persists, check if the minimum requisites have been complied with.
