■
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.
•Use only the specified AC adaptor. Use of another type of adaptor creates the danger
of fire and electrical shock.
