TROUBLESHOOTING Problem Possible cause and solution A tone can be heard whenever the device is turned on/off. This is normal and no cause for concern. When I press a key, there is no sound even though the device is switched on. Check that the main and accompaniment volumes are set correctly. The internal speaker system is automatically disabled when headphones are connected to the device. The sound is distorted or interrupted. An unsuitable mains adapter may be connected or the batteries are dead and need to be replaced. The device has crashed. The notes played and the note quality are slightly different. This is normal. The reverb effect is sometimes set longer or shorter individually when used. This is normal. The reverb effect for each key is set by the manufacturer. Main and accompaniment volume have changed. Check if something has changed in the sound setting. The clef changes as you play. You may have accidentally pressed a key on the left half of the keyboard (left 19 keys).40
