Note:
To connect a MIDI device to your
keyboard, see “Making the MIDI Connec-
tions” on Page 35. To connect a sustain
pedal, see “Using a Sustain Pedal” on
Page 26.
CONNECTING POWER
You can power your keyboard using in-
ternal batteries or with standard AC
power using an optional AC adapter
Notes
:
• Connecting an AC or DC adapter
automatically disconnects any inter-
nal batteries.
• Always disconnect the AC or DC
adapter when you finish using the
keyboard.
Using Batteries
Your keyboard can use six D batteries
(not supplied) for power. For the best
performance and longest life, we recom-
mend RadioShack alkaline batteries.
Cautions:
• Use only fresh batteries of the
required size and recommended
type.
• Do not mix old and new batteries,
different types of batteries (stan-
dard, alkaline, or rechargeable), or
rechargeable batteries of different
capacities.
Follow these steps to install batteries.
1. While pressing the tabs on the bat-
tery compartment cover on the bot-
tom of the keyboard, pull up the
cover to remove it.
2. Place the batteries in the compart-
ment as indicated by the polarity
symbols (+ and
–
) marked below the
compartment.
3. Replace the cover.
When the keyboard stops operating
properly, replace the batteries.
Warning:
Dispose of old batteries
promptly and properly. Do not burn or
bury them.
Caution:
If you do not plan to use the
keyboard with batteries for a week or
more, remove the batteries. Batteries
can leak chemicals that can destroy
electronic parts.
Using AC Power
You can power the keyboard using a 9V,
1200-mA AC adapter and a size M
Adaptaplug™ adapter (neither sup-
plied). Both are available at your local
RadioShack store.
Cautions:
You must use a Class 2
power source that supplies
9V DC and delivers at least
1200 mA. Its center tip must be set
to negative and its plug must fit the
keyboard's
DC 9V
jack. Using an
adapter that does not meet these
specifications could damage the
keyboard or the adapter.
• Always connect the AC adapter to
the keyboard before you connect it
