If you wish to use the PK-5A with an optional AC adaptor type (ACA series, optional) please follow these precau-
tions:
The appropriate power supply for the instrument is shown
on the AC adaptor’s name plate. Please make sure that the
line voltage in your area meets the requirements.
Do not use the PK-5A on the same power circuit with any
device that will generate line noise (such as an electric
motor or variable lighting system).
It is normal for this unit to become hot while being oper-
ated.
If the unit is not to be used for a long period of time,
unplug the external AC adaptor from the outlet.
Disconnect the AC adaptor immediately in the event of an
electrical storm.
Before setting up the PK-5A with other MIDI devices,
switch it off along with all other units.
Be sure to connect the MIDI cables securely. If the MIDI
cable is disconnected while the instrument is being played,
various problems may occur (e.g. a note may continue to
sound).
Static electricity may cause the built-in computer to mal-
function. Should this occur, simply reset the PK-5A by turn-
ing the power off and then, after a few seconds, back on.
The PK-5A might not operate correctly if turned on imme-
diately after being turned off. If this happens, simply turn it
off and after a few seconds later, turn it on again.
Operating the PK-5A near a neon light, fluorescent lamp, TV
or CRT display may cause noise interference. If so, change
the position of the instrument.
To avoid risk of electric shock, do not perform any servicing.
Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.
