Cautions for safest use of this unit

Installation location

1. A well-ventilated place.
   Take care not to use this unit in a place where it will not receive sufficient ventilation, and not to permit the ventilation holes to be covered by curtains, or any similar materials.
2. Place away from direct sunlight and excessive heat from heating equipment.
3. A place where humidity, vibration and dust are minimized.

Power source

1. For the power source, use ONLY the included AC adaptor. Use of a different AC adaptor may result in malfunction or even damage to the equipment.
2. If the unit is not to be used for some time, remove the AC adaptor from the wall socket.

Handling the power cord

1. Never touch the power cord, or its plug, with wet hands.
2. Don't pull the power cord.

Metal items inside the unit may result in electric shock or damage.

Do not permit metal articles to get inside the unit.

Be especially careful with regard to this point if children are near this unit. They should be warned never to try to put anything inside.

If, nevertheless, some such article does get inside, disconnect the power cord plug from the electrical outlet, and contact the store where the unit was purchased.

If water gets into the unit

Disconnect the power cord plug from the electrical outlet, and contact the store where it was purchased.

As a precaution, it is suggested that flower vases and other containers which hold liquids not be placed on the top of this unit.

If operation seems abnormal

Immediately turn off the power, disconnect the power cord plug from the electrical outlet, and contact the store where it was purchased.

Discontinue using the unit at once. Failure to do so may result in additional damage or some other unexpected damage or accident.

- Because the power source is located inside the unit, it is normal for the cabinet to become warm.

A word about the power cord

If the power cord is scarred, is partially cut or broken, or has a bad contact, it may cause a fire or serious electrical shock if used. NEVER use a damaged power cord for any appliance. Moreover, the power cord should never be forcibly bent.

Don't touch the inside parts of this unit.

Some places inside this unit have high voltage potential. Never try to remove the top or back panels of this unit, or to touch inside parts by hand or with tools.

Contact someone who is qualified in order to inspect the inside, or to replace a fuse, if such becomes necessary. Never attempt to do these things yourself.

Maintenance

The following suggestions will assist you in keeping the unit in top condition.

• Be sure to switch the instrument off after use, and do not switch the unit on and off in quick succession, as this places an undue load on the electronic components.
• To keep the luster of the surface and buttons, simply use a clean, damp cloth; polish with a soft, dry cloth. Polish may be used but do not use thinners or petro-chemical-based polishes.
• A wax-based polish may be used on the cabinet, although you will find that rubbing with a soft cloth will suffice.

SERVICE MUST BE CARRIED OUT BY DEALER OR OTHER QUALIFIED PERSON

Auto Play Chord

Line drawing of a control panel with no visible text or symbols

Simply by playing a chord on the keyboard, the AUTO PLAY CHORD function automatically plays an accompaniment pattern which matches perfectly the selected rhythm. With a real accompaniment as a background, you can concentrate on playing the melody.

⇒Choose from three ways of playing chords.

■ One Finger (1 Finger) mode

In the One Finger mode, a major chord can be played just by pressing the key for its root note.

Example: C chord

Minor, seventh and minor seventh chords are also easily produced.

minor chord	seventh chord	minor seventh chord
Play the root note plus a black key to the left of it.	Play the root note plus a white key to the left of it.	Play the root note plus a black key and a white key to the left of it.
Example: Cm	Example: C7	Example: Cm7
