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.
