This section contains information about setting up your instrument

and preparing to play. Please go through this section carefully

before turning the power on.

Power Supply

You can power the instrument either by batteries or by power adaptor.

Follow the instructions described below.

Using Batteries

The instrument needs 6 pieces of AA (NO.5) or equivalent alkaline

batteries for power supply.

1. Open the battery cabinet cover located on the bottom of the

instrument.

2. Insert the batteries, carefully following the polarity markings on the

cabinet.

3. Replace the cabinet cover. Make sure it locks firmly in place.

Notes:

1. Do not mix using any used and new batteries.

2. Always use the same types of batteries.

3. Remove the batteries when the instrument is not in use for a long

period of time.

Using Power Adaptor

1. Turn down the volume before connecting to power supply.

2. Connect the adaptor to the DC IN jack of the instrument.

3. Plug the adaptor into an AC outlet. This will automatically cut off

the battery power supply.

Notes:

1. In order to save energy, the instrument will automatically shut down

after 30 minutes if it is not used. (Please refer to Auto Power Off).

2. For your safety, please unplug the instrument when it is not in use

or during a thunderstorm.

Connecting an MP3/CD Player

The rear-panel AUX IN jack receives audio signals from an external

audio source such as an MP3 or a CD player.

Use an audio cable to connect the AUX IN jack of the instrument to

the OUTPUT jack of the MP3/CD player. The instrument’s speakers

will play the music transmitted from the external player, and you can

play along.

Connecting an Audio Equipment

The rear-panel PHONES/OUTPUT jack delivers the output of the

instrument to an external audio equipment such as a keyboard

amplifier, a stereo sound system, a mixing console, or a recorder.

Use an audio cable to connect the PHONES/OUTPUT jack of the

instrument to the INPUT jack of the external audio equipment.

Notes:

1. Turn off the power to all units before connecting or disconnecting

the external equipment.

2. To avoid damaging the speakers, please set the master volume

to minimum level before turning on the power.

Connecting a pair of Headphones

A standard pair of stereo headphones can be connected to the

PHONES/OUTPUT jack for private practice or late-night playing.

The internal stereo speaker system is automatically shut off when a

pair of head phones is plugged into this jack.

Note:

Do not listen with the headphones at high volume for long periods

of time. Doing so may cause hearing loss.

Connecting a Microphone

You can plug a microphone to the MIC jack to sing along with your

keyboard performance or song playback.

1. Set the master volume to minimum level before connecting or

disconnecting a microphone.

Chord Basics

A chord, in music, is any harmonic set of three or more notes that is

heard as if sounding simultaneously. The most frequently encountered

chords are triads. A triad is a set of three notes that can be stacked in

thirds. When stacked in thirds, the triad's members, from lowest

pitched tone to highest, are called: the Root, the Third, and the Fifth.

Triad Type

There are following basic triad types:

Chord Inversion

We define this chord its root is not in the bass (i.e., is not the lowest

note) as an inversion chord. When the root is in the bass, we call the

chord: root-position chord. If we put the Third and Fifth in the root

position, then it forms “Inversion”, we call this chord “Inversion Chord”.

See the following major triad and its inverted chord.

Chord Name

The chord name contains two parts content: Chord root and Chord type.

Single Finger

Single finger type not only can detect single finger but also can detect

multi finger. And the single finger makes it easily to play chords through

only one, two or three keys. Including major, minor, seventh, and minor

seventh chord. Refer to relevant picture on the right for details.

augmented fifth will consist as an “Augmented Triad”.
