Before Playing The X140/150-D
Connecting the Power Supply
Your keyboard can use either your home AC power outlet or dry cell batteries as a power source.
* To Insert Batteries
1,
2.
3.
Turn the unit over and remove the battery cover.
Insert six Size “C” dry cell batteries. Be sure they are aligned in the proper direction.
Replace the battery cover.
As the batteries begin to run down, the volume of the keyboard will decrease and the sound quality will
begin to change or deteriorate, or the unit may begin to malfunction. At that time, you should replace all
six batteries.
Do not mix battery type (or new batteries with old ones), as this may cause problems such as battery
fluid leakage.
Remove the batteries when not using the keyboard for long periods of time.
* To Use An AC Power Outlet
Connect a PS-125 or PS-124 adaptor (available separately) to the adaptor terminal on the rear panel
of the keyboard. Then, connect the adaptor to a wall socket.
We recommend that you use a KAWAI AC adaptor with the X140/150-D.
If you decide to use a universal adaptor from another manufacturer, please be sure of the following.
Ts
2.
3.
The voltage selector should be set at 12 volts.
The polarity selector must be set to “negative” (—) polarity, otherwise the keyboard will not operate (or
will run on batteries until the batteries are drained).
The adaptor must be rated at 2 Amp (A).
The contents of the keyboard’s internal memory: (such as recorder
data) will be kept stored for up to five years by a back-up battery built
into the unit.
Note that if you turn the power switch ON while holding down keys
C
and
E
at
the
left
end
of
the
keyboard,
all
of
the
contents
of
the
memory will be erased and the keyboard’s factory settings will be
restored. (This is known as the “factory reset” procedure.)
You
cannot
back
up
the
internal
memory
once
the
back-up
battery
has
run
out
of
power.
So,
we
recommend
that
you
save
your
important
data
into
an
external
sequencer
(see
“Using
the
MIDI
Functions”
section).
For
a
replacement
back-up
battery,
contact
an
authorized
KAWAI
dealer.
Your
keyboard
comes
equipped
with
a
thin
plastic
covering
over
the
front
panel
designed
to
protect
the
panel
from
dust
and
scratches.
If
you
want
to
remove
this
covering,
carefully
use
a
fingernail
to
lift
up
one
of
the
corners.
Then,
slowly
peel
off
the
covering
and
discard
it.
