Internal Setup and Connections
1. Connecting the Power
Connect the DC plug of the supplied AC
adapter to the DC9V jack on the rear panel,
then connect the AC adapter to an AC outlet.
Pass the AC adapter cord through the
cord hook so that the plug won’t be re-
moved from the jack accidentally. When
you unhook the cord, don’t pull the cord
with force.
Be sure to use the AC adapter that’s in-
cluded. Using other AC adapters may
cause the unit to malfunction.
Be sure to plug the unit into an AC outlet of the appropriate
voltage.

■ Usingheadphones
When you plug in the headphones, the built-in speakers
will be muted. This is useful when you want to play the
keyboard in the evening without bothering your family or
neighbors.

If your headphones feature a standard-to-mini adapter plug,
be sure to hold the adapter plug when you connect or dis-
connect the headphones.
To protect your hearing, do not listen to loud, high-
volume sounds for a long period of time through the
headphones.
