After making sure that the P-80’s AC power adaptor is properly
plugged into the P-80 itself and plugged into a convenient AC wall
outlet, press the [STANDBY/ON] switch located on the left-side
panel of the P-80.
When the power is turned ON, one of the voice selector LEDs
will light.
If you are using an amplifier/speaker system for sound repro-
duction, set the P-80’s [MASTER VOLUME] control and the
volume level on the amplifier/speaker system to the most comfort-
able listening level while playing the keyboad.
If you are using headphones, start with the [MASTER VOL-
UME] set to its minimum level, gradually increasing the level
until a comfortable listening level is attained.
