The following shows the approximate battery life provided by different battery
types.
Standard battery life: Approximately 1 hour (SUM3/R6P)
Approximately 4 hours (AM3/LR6)
Both of the above values are standard battery life at normal temperature, with the
keyboard volume at a medium setting. Temperature extremes or playing at very
loud volume settings can shorten battery life.
Any of the following symptoms indicate low battery power. Replace batteries as
soon as possible whenever any of the following occurs.
Dim power supply indicator
Instrument does not turn on
Dim, difficult to read display
Abnormally low speaker/headphone volume
Distortion of sound output
Occasional interruption of sound when playing at high volumes
Sudden power failure when playing at high volumes
Dimming of the display when playing at high volume
Abnormal rhythm pattern and demo tune play
Dimming of keyboard lights when notes sound
Loss of power, sound distortion, or low volume when playing from a con-
nected computer or MIDI device

Important!
Improper handling of batteries can cause them to burst and leak, which creates the
danger of personal injury or damage due to contact with battery acid. Be sure to note the
following important precautions.
Always make sure that the positive (+) and negative () poles are facing correctly as
indicated inside the battery compartment.
To avoid damage caused by leaking batteries, be sure to remove batteries from the
keyboard whenever you leave it unattended for long periods (such as when leaving
on a trip).
Never mix batteries of different types.
Never mix old batteries with new ones.
Never discard batteries by incinerating them, do not allow their poles to be shorted
(connected to each other), never take batteries apart, and do not expose batteries to
direct heat.
Replace batteries as soon as possible after any sign they are getting weak.
Never attempt to recharge batteries.
Using the AC Adaptor
Make sure that you use only the AC adaptor specified for this keyboard.
Specified AC Adaptor: AD-5
Also note the following important warnings and precautions when using the AC
adaptor.
Warning!
Take care to avoid any damage to or breakage of the power cord. Never place any
heavy objects on the power cord or expose it to direct heat. Doing so creates the
danger of power cord damage, fire, and electrical shock.

Caution!
For safety sake, be sure to unplug the AC adaptor from the wall outlet whenever
leaving the keyboard unattended for a long time (such as when leaving on a trip).
Always turn off the keyboard and unplug the AC adaptor from the wall outlet when
you are not using the keyboard.
Important!
Make sure that the keyboard is turned off before connecting or disconnecting the AC
adaptor.
Using the AC adaptor for a long time can cause it to become warm to the touch. This
is normal and does not indicate malfunction.
Auto Power Off
When you are using battery power, keyboard power turns off automatically when-
ever you leave it on without performing any operation for about 6 minutes. When
this happens, move the POWER/MODE selector to the OFF position and then back to
NORMAL, CASIO CHORD, or FINGERED to turn power back on.
Note
Auto Power Off is disabled (it does not function) when you are using the AC adaptor
to power the keyboard.
Power On Alert
Keyboard keys light to alert you if you leave power on and do not perform any
operation for about 6 minutes. Note that keys light only, and no sound is produced.
When this happens, press any button or keyboard key to clear the power on alert.
Note
Power on alert operates only when you are powering the keyboard using the AC
adaptor. It does not operate when you are using batteries.
To disable Auto Power Off and power on alert
Hold down the TONE button while turning on the keyboard to disable Auto Power
Off and power on alert.
When these functions are turned off, the keyboard does not turn off automatically
and no alert is performed no matter how long it is left with no operation being
performed.

3. Use the number buttons to input the 2-digit number that identifies the tone you want to
select.
Always enter two digits for the tone number. If you enter only one
digit, the display will automatically return to the previous tone number
setting after a few seconds.
If you change the tone setting while a keyboard key is depressed, the
tone does not change until you release the key and press a keyboard
key again.
With certain tones (such as percussion sounds and sound effects), there
may be very little or no change at all in the pitch, no matter which
keyboard key you press.
If you input the wrong first digit for a tone number, you can return to
the previous setting by pressing the TONE button.
Keyboard split tones
Some of the preset tones split the keyboard and assign two or more sounds. With
such a preset tone, the sound produced depends on what position of the keyboard
you play. For example, BASS/PIANO (tone 90) puts BASS on the left and PIANO on
the right of the keyboard.
<Example>
BASS/PIANO (No.90)
BASS PIANO
PERCUSSION (No.99)
PERCUSSION (tone 99) assigns 35 percussion sound to the keyboard as illustrated
below. The sound assigned to each key are indicated above the keyboard.
