IMPORTANT NOTES
@ The appropriate power supply for the keyboard unit is
shown on its name plate. Please make sure that the line
voltage in your country meets the requirements
@ Use only the AC cord provided.
e@ Please do not use the same socket used for any noise ge-
nerating device (such as a motor, variable lighting
system).
@ It is normal for this unit to become hot while being opera-
ted.
@ If the unit is not to be used for a long period of time, un-
plug the AC cord from the socket.
@ Disconnect the AC cord immediately in the event of an
electrical storm.
@ Before setting up this keyboard with other MIDI devices,
turn this keyboard off along with all other units.
@ Be sure to connect the MIDI! cables securely. If the MIDI
cable is disconnected while the keyboard is being played,
various troubles will occur (e.g. the note may continue to
sound).
@ Static electricity may cause the built-in computer to mal-
function. Should this occur, simply reset the keyboard by
turning the power switch off and then after a few seconds,
back on.
@ This keyboard might not operate correctly if turned on im-
mediately after being turned off. If this happens, simply
turn it off and after a few seconds later, turn it on again.
@ Operating the E-10 near a neon light, fluorescent lamp, TV
or CRT display, may cause noise interference. If so, chan-
ge the position of the keyboard.
@ To avoid risk of electric shock, do not perform any servi-
cing. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.

THE CARE OF YOUR E-10
ROOM LOCATION
CABINET CARE
To ensure the best use and full enjoyment of your E-10, plea-
se read this guide carefully and thoroughly.
Avoid using this keyboard in excessive heat or humidity con-
ditions or where it may be affected by direct sunlight or dust
and avoid places subject to high vibrations.
Use a soft dry cloth for dusting. To remove fingerprints or
dulling film, use a soft cloth slightly dampened with water
and a little mild detergent. Immediately wipe dry with a soft
cloth. Do not use solvents such as paint thinners.
