information under “Piano Buttons”, “Using the FUNCTION Button”, and

“Keyboard Keys Used for Configuring Settings”.

These instructions provide general information about Digital Piano operations. For

more detailed information, refer to the “User’s Guide (Full)”, which can be

• MIDI Implementation Chart, etc.

Your Digital Piano runs on standard household power. Be

sure to turn off power whenever you are not using the Digital

Piano.

■ Using an AC Adaptor

Use only the AC adaptor (JEITA Standard, with unified

polarity plug) that comes with this Digital Piano. Use of a

different type of AC adaptor can cause malfunction.

• Use the supplied power cord to connect the AC adaptor.

Bottom

IMPORTANT!

• Never connect the AC adaptor that comes with this

Digital Piano to any other device besides this Digital

Piano. Doing so creates the risk of malfunction.

• Make sure the Digital Piano is turned off before

plugging in or unplugging the AC adaptor.

• The AC adaptor will become warm to the touch after

very long use. This is normal and does not indicate

malfunction.

• Never try to use the supplied power cord with any

other device.

• Place the AC adaptor on the floor with its label

surface pointed downwards. The AC adaptor

becomes more prone to electromagnetic wave

generation if the label surface is in a different

position.

■ To turn on power

Press the P (Power) button. Power up takes about five

seconds.

■ To turn off power

Hold down the P (Power) button until the power lamp goes

out.

IMPORTANT!

• Pressing the P (Power) button to turn off power

actually puts the Digital Piano into a standby state

(minute current continues to flow). If you do not plan

to use the Digital Piano for a long time or if there is a

lightning storm in your area, unplug the AC adaptor

from the power outlet.

■ Auto Power Off

Power turns off automatically after four hours of non-use.

To disable Auto Power Off, turn on power by holding down

the FUNCTION button and pressing P (Power).
