If you press the cover panel when the projections are not aligned with the slot, you may damage the projections.

If the cover panel comes open as shown below after you've attached it, apply gentle pressure to the rear side and fit the projections of the cover panel into the slot of the rear rail.

Moving precautions

If you transport the keyboard assembly with the module in the raised position, the lock plate must be fitted into the slot on the bracket and secured in place by tightening the lockplate screw. If you transport the keyboard assembly with the module in the lowered (storage) position, the latch must be connected to the module, with both the module and bracket screws securely fastened.

If you transport the system without fastening these screws, the module may move abruptly, causing damage or injury.

Module lowered (storage position)

Caution when using multiple modules

• When using more than one module, be sure both modules are turned off before connecting or disconnecting either of the cables connected to the TO MODULE and TO MODULE (2nd) connectors.
• When using more than one module, the module connected to the TO MODULE connector must be turned on in order for the module connected to the TO MODULE (2nd) connector to be detected by the keyboard assembly and to function properly.
• The lit/dark status of SW1/SW2 will reflect the state of the module connected to the TO MODULE connector. The SW1/SW2 lit/dark status of the module connected to the TO MODULE (2nd) connector will not be reflected. Be aware that the state of the TO MODULE (2nd) unit may not necessarily match the SW1/SW2 status. If you want the lit/dark indication to match the state of the TO MODULE (2nd) unit, you would need to set the On/Off and Toggle/Momentary setting of each Program, Combination, or Song of the module connected to the TO MODULE (2nd) connector to be identical to the settings of the module connected to the TO MODULE connector.
  The Global mode menu command "After Touch Calibration" cannot be selected from an M3-M connected to the TO MODULE (2nd) connector. In order to execute this command, the M3-M must be connected to the TO MODULE connector.
