state-of-the-art keyboard with many

exciting features. You can set the

auto accompaniments and percus-

Your keyboard’s features include:

100 Prerecorded Tunes — let you

board to sound like anything from a

harpsichord to a honky-tonk piano.

PREPARATION

CONNECTING POWER

You can power your keyboard in any

of these ways:

• internal batteries (see “Using Bat-

teries”)

• standard AC power using an

optional AC adapter (see “Using

AC Power” on Page 6)

• a vehicle’s cigarette-lighter

socket using an optional DC

adapter (see “Using Vehicle Bat-

tery Power” on Page 6)

Notes:

• Connecting an AC or DC adapter

automatically disconnects any

internal batteries.

• Always disconnect the AC or DC

adapter when you finish using the

keyboard.

Using Batteries

Your keyboard can use six AA batter-

ies (not supplied) for power. For the

best performance, we recommend al-

kaline batteries, such as RadioShack

Cat. No. 23-557.

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 dif-

ferent capacities.

1. Set POWER/MODE to OFF.

2. While pressing the tab on the bat-

tery compartment cover, pull the

cover up to remove it.

3. Put six AA batteries into the com-

partment as indicated by the

polarity symbols (+ and –)

marked below the compartment.

4. Replace the cover.

When the keyboard stops operating

properly, replace all six batteries.

Cautions:

• If you do not plan to use the key-

board for a week or more, or if

you plan to use only an AC or DC

adapter, remove the batteries.

Batteries can leak chemicals that

can destroy electronic parts.

• Dispose of old batteries promptly

and properly. Do not burn or bury

them.

42-4036.fm Page 5 Thursday, August 12, 1999 8:20 AM

Using AC Power

You can power your keyboard from

standard AC power using an optional

9-volt AC adapter (such as Ra-

dioShack Cat. No. 273-1656).

Cautions:

• You must use an AC adapter that

supplies 9 volts and delivers at

least 800 mA. Its center tip must

be set to negative and its plug

must fit the keyboard’s DC 9V

jack. The recommended adapter

meets these specifications. Using

an adapter that does not meet

these specifications could dam-

age the keyboard or the adapter.

• Always plug the AC adapter into

the keyboard before you plug it

into the AC outlet. Always unplug

the AC adapter from the AC out-

let before you unplug it from the

keyboard.

•BesurePOWER/MODE is set to

OFF before you connect or dis-

connect the adapter.

Follow these steps to connect an AC

adapter to the keyboard.

1. Connect the AC adapter’s 5.5

mm outer diameter/2.1 mm inner

diameter barrel plug to the DC 9V

jack on the back of the keyboard.

2. Plug the AC adapter’s other end

into a standard AC outlet.

Using Vehicle Battery Power

You can power your keyboard from

your vehicle’s cigarette-lighter socket

with an optional 9-volt DC adapter

(such as RadioShack Cat. No. 273-

1815).

Cautions:

• You must use a DC adapter that

supplies 9 volts and delivers at

least 800 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 plug the DC adapter into

the keyboard before you plug it

into the cigarette-lighter socket.

Always unplug the DC adapter

from the cigarette-lighter socket

before you unplug it from the key-

board.

•BesurePOWER/MODE is set to

OFF before you connect or dis-

connect the adapter.

Follow these steps to connect a DC

adapter to the keyboard.

42-4036.fm Page 6 Thursday, August 12, 1999 8:20 AM

1. Plug the DC adapter’s 5.5 mm

outer diameter/2.1 mm inner

diameter barrel plug into the

cable so it reads – TIP.

2. Set the DC adapter’s voltage

switch to 9 volts.

3. Connect the DC adapter’s barrel

plug to the DC 9V jack on the back

of the keyboard.

4. Plug the DC adapter’s other end

into your vehicle’s cigarette-

lighter socket.

Note: If the keyboard does not oper-

ate when you use the DC adapter,

unplug the cord from the cigarette-

lighter socket and clean any ashes or

debris from the socket. If your key-

board still does not work, check the

fuse in the DC adapter and replace it

if necessary.

CONNECTING

HEADPHONES

To listen to your keyboard without

disturbing others, you can connect an

optional pair of stereo headphones

with a 1/4-inch plug. Your local Ra-

dioShack store sells a wide selection

of headphones.

Insert the headphones’ 1/4-inch plug

into the PHONES/OUTPUT jack on the

back of the keyboard.

Note: Connecting headphones dis-

connects the keyboard’s built-in

speakers.

Listening Safely

To protect your hearing, follow these

guidelines when you use head-

phones.

• Set the volume to the lowest set-

ting before you begin listening.

After you begin listening, adjust

the volume to a comfortable level.

• Do not listen at extremely high

volume levels. Extended high-

volume listening can lead to per-

manent hearing loss.

• Once you set the volume, do not

increase it. Over time, your ears

adapt to the volume level, so a

volume level that does not cause

discomfort might still damage

your hearing.

42-4036.fm Page 7 Thursday, August 12, 1999 8:20 AM

CONNECTING AN

EXTERNAL AMPLIFIER

To amplify your keyboard’s sound,

you can connect it to an optional ex-

ternal amplifier using an audio cable

with a 1/4-inch plug (not supplied).

To connect an external amplifier to

your keyboard, insert the cable’s 1/4-

inch plug into the PHONES/OUTPUT

jack on the back of the keyboard, and

connect the cable’s other end to the

amplifier’s input jack(s) (such as AUX

IN or TAPE IN).

Your local RadioShack store sells a

full line of amplifiers, speakers, and

connection cables.

USING THE SHEET

MUSIC STAND

To easily view sheet music while

playing your keyboard, insert the sup-

plied sheet music stand into the holes

on the top back panel.
