TAKING CARE OF YOUR DIGITAL PIANO
This Suzuki digital piano will supply you with years of musical enjoyment if you follow the
simple rules listed below.
LOCATION
Do not expose the instrument to the follow-
ing conditions to avoid deformation, discol-
oration, or more serious damage.
Direct sunlight (near a window)
High temperatures (near a heat source,
outside, or in a car during the daytime)
Excessive humidity
Excessive dust
Strong vibration
A C POWER CORD
Turn the power switch off when the instru-
ment is not in use.
Unplug the AC power cord during an
electrical storm.
Avoid plugging the AC adaptor into the
same AC outlet as appliances with high
power consumption, such as electric
heaters or ovens.
TURN POWER OFF WHEN MAKING
CONNECTIONS
To avoid damage to the instrument and
other devices to which it is connected,
turn the power switches of all related
devices off prior to connection or discon-
nection of MIDI cables.
HANDLING AND TRANSPORT
Never apply excessive force to the con-
trols, connectors or other parts of the
instrument.
Always unplug cables by gripping the plug
firmly, not by pulling on the cable.
Disconnect all cables before moving the
instrument.
Physical shocks caused by dropping,
bumping, or placing heavy objects on the
instrument can result in scratches and/or
more serious damage.
CLEANING
Clean the cabinet and panel with a dry
soft cloth. A wax based polish may be
used on the cabinet, although you will find
that rubbing with a soft cloth will usually
suffice. Do not use paint thinner or
petrochemical based polishes.
Avoid placing vinyl objects on top of the
instrument, vinyl can stick to and discolor
the surface.
To maintain the luster of the keys and
buttons wipe with a clean, lightly damp-
ened cloth, and then polish with a soft dry
cloth.
ELECTRICAL INTERFERENCE
This instrument contains digital circuitry
and may cause interference if placed too
close to radio or television receivers. If
interference occurs, move the instrument
further away from the affected equipment.
Do not switch the unit on and off in quick
succession, this places an undue load on
the electronic components.
SERVICE AND MODIFICATION
Opening and tampering with a digital
piano can lead to irreparable damage.
Please call the local music dealer or
factory before attempting to service or
modify this instrument.

EASY SET UP AND QUICK PLAY
USING THE AC POWER ADAPTOR: Plug the output cable of the sup-
plied power adaptor into the DC 12V IN jack on the back of the
unit. Then plug the input of the power adaptor into a convenient
AC power outlet. The internal batteries will be automatically
disconnected when the AC power adapter is used.
Please note, make sure that you only use the recommended
power adapter, if you are unsure of which adapter to use, please
check with your Suzuki dealer.
USING BATTERIES: For battery operation this piano requires eight
1.5V (R14), “C” cell batteries. When the batteries need to be
replaced the volume may be reduced, the sound may distort, or
other problems may occur. If this happens, turn the power off and
replace the batteries.
Please note, when batteries are used, the sound of the piano
may distort at high volume levels. This is because the power of
the amplifier is reduced as the batteries drop in voltage.
TO REPLACE THE BATTERIES
1. Open the battery compartment cover located on the instru-
ments bottom panel.
2. Insert eight new batteries, be careful of the polarity.
Please note, when the batteries run down, replace them with a
complete set of eight new batteries. Never mix old and new
batteries and do not use different kinds of batteries at the
same time.
3. Replace the compartment cover, making sure that it locks
firmly in place.
THE MUSIC STAND - Insert the bottom edge of the music stand into
the slots located at the rear of the control panel.
TURN THE PIANO ON AND ADJUST THE VOLUME - Slide the
POWER switch to the on position and adjust the MASTER VOL-
UME.
BEGIN TO PLAY!
POWER SUPPLY - This piano can be powered by either an external AC power adapter or
by batteries.
Please note, to prevent possible damage due to battery leakage, remove the batteries from
the instrument if it is not to be used for an extended period of time. Battery leakage is not
covered under the Suzuki warranty.
