Note:
To connect a MIDI device to your
keyboard, see “Making the MIDI Connec-
tions” on Page 22.
CONNECTING POWER
You can power your keyboard in either
of these ways:
• internal batteries
• standard AC power using an
optional AC adapter
Notes
:
• Connecting an AC or DC adapter
automatically disconnects any inter-
nal batteries.
• Always disconnect the AC or DC
adapter when you finish using the
keyboard.
Using Batteries
Your keyboard can use six D batteries
(not supplied) for power. For the best
performance and longest life, we recom-
mend RadioShack alkaline batteries.
Cautions:
• Use only fresh batteries of the
required size and recommended
type.
• Do not mix old and new batteries,
different types of batteries (stan-
dard, alkaline, or rechargeable), or
rechargeable batteries of different
capacities.
Follow these steps to install batteries.
1. Slide
POWER/MODE
to
OFF
.
2. While pressing the tabs on the bat-
tery compartment cover on the bot-
tom of the keyboard, pull up the
cover to remove it.
3. Place the batteries in the compart-
ment as indicated by the polarity
symbols (+ and
–
) marked below the
compartment.
4. Replace the cover.
When the keyboard stops operating
properly, replace the batteries.
Warnin
g
:
Dispose of old batteries
promptly and properly. Do not burn or
bury them.
Caution:
If you do not plan to use the
keyboard with batteries for a week or
more, remove the batteries. Batteries
can leak chemicals that can destroy
electronic parts.
Using AC Power
You can power the keyboard using a 9V,
800-mA AC adapter and a size M
Adaptaplug™ adapter (neither sup-
plied). Both are available at your local
RadioShack store.
Cautions:
You must use a Class 2
power source that supplies
9V DC and delivers at least
800 mA. Its center tip must be set to
negative and its plug must fit the
