INTRODUCTION
Taking care of your instrument
1. Do not place or store the instrument in
extremely damp, hot or dusty places.
2. Avoid placing heavy objects on the
instrument or exposing it to physical
shocks.
3. Do not use any chemical agents to clean
its surface such as benzene or thinners.
Power supply
This instrument can be powered with
batteries or with an DC adaptor (none of
these are included). Follow the instructions
below.
Batteries
Firstly, insert 6 C-size alkaline batteries
(SUM-2 or R-14) in the battery holder.
1. Open the battery holder located under the
instrument.
2. Insert the batteries and make sure you
respect the polarity indicated on the
instrument.
3. Put the battery cover back on and make
sure it is closed correctly.
WARNING:
• Do not use old and new batteries together.
• Always use batteries of the same type.
• Always remember to remove the batteries
when the instrument is not to be used for
an extended period of time.
DC adaptor
Use an DC adaptor whenever you want to
use domestic electrical power. The DC
adaptor must have a DC 9V, 500mA output,
with a positive central pin. Make sure the
instrument is turned off before connecting
the DC adaptor in the wall outlet and its
supply cord to the instrument. This will
automatically bypass the batteries.
IMPORTANT:
• When used, the DC adaptor can generate
heat. This is normal.
• Please disconnect the DC adaptor from the
wall outlet when the instrument is not in
use.
Never use a type of power supply that does
not correspond to the one specified for the
instrument.

or an amplifier
• Headphones can be plugged into the
PHONES connector on the rear of the
instrument.
• The internal speaker is automatically
disconnected when headphones are
plugged into that jack output.

connector, and then plug the other end
of the cable into the LINE IN or AUX IN
connector of the amplifier.

MIDI
MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface)
is the universal standard allowing multiple
digital instruments, computers and other
related devices to communicate and
exchange playing data.
The MIDI OUT port sends MIDI data to an
external MIDI device. The instruments
communicate by sending MIDI messages
or data. The emitting instrument assigns
the data to one of the 16 MIDI channels and
then transmits them through MIDI cables.
The cable in itself is not divided into or made
up of 16 different wires but, like a television
set receiving numerous programs over
different channels from the same aerial, the
instrument’s task is to be set to the right MIDI
channel. If the Send and Receive channels of
the instruments connected to each other do
not match, the receiving instrument cannot
understand nor play the sender’s messages.
Connecting to a PC
1. Turn off both keyboard and PC.
2. Use a MIDI adaptor to link the keyboard to
the PC (one side features 5 pins, the other
15).
3. Switch on the keyboard and the PC. Set the
volume at its minimum level by using the
[VOLUME -] button.
4. To select the desired MIDI channel (01-16),
press the [MIDI] button repeatedly until the
desired channel appears on the display.
5. You can play the keyboard. You will hear
the music play on your PC loudspeakers.

Plug the MIDI cable
into this connector
Note:
• Your PC must be equipped with a
soundcard, a pair of speakers and MIDI
software must be installed.
• No information regarding styles,
pre-recorded songs, sustain and transpose
values is sent as MIDI data.
Connecting to an external device
Two MIDI devices must be connected to each
other with MIDI cables in order to be able
to communicate. To take a basic example: if
you want to record your performance on this
keyboard, the MIDI OUT connector of this
keyboard must be connected to the MIDI IN
connector of a sequencer.
