Preparation
To connect a MIDI device to your keyboard, see Making the MIDI Connections on Page 12. 2. Press the tabs on the battery compartment cover on the bottom of the keyboard and pull up the cover to remove it. 3. Place the batteries in the compartment as indicated by the polarity symbols (+ and ) marked inside the compartment. 4. Replace the cover. internal batteries standard AC power using an optional AC adapter a vehicles cigarette-lighter socket using an optional DC adapter Notes: Connecting an AC or DC adapter automatically disconnects internal batteries. Always disconnect the AC or DC adapter when you finish using the keyboard. When the keyboard stops operating properly, replace the batteries. Warning: Dispose of old batteries promptly and properly. Do not burn or bury them. Caution: If you do not plan to use the keyboard with batteries for a week or more, remove the batteries. Batteries can leak chemicals that can destroy electronic parts.

CONNECTING POWER
You can power your keyboard in any of these ways:

Using AC/DC Power


You can power the keyboard using an optional 9V, 300-mA AC or DC adapter and a size M Adaptaplug adapter (none supplied). All are available at your local RadioShack store. Cautions: You must use a Class 2 power source that supplies 9V DC and delivers at least 300 mA. Its center tip must be set to positive and its plug must fit the keyboard's DC 9V jack. Using an adapter that does not meet these specifications could damage the keyboard or the adapter.

Using Batteries
Your keyboard can use six C batteries (not supplied) for power. For the best performance and longest life, we recommend RadioShack alkaline batteries. Cautions: Use only fresh batteries of the required size and recommended type. Do not mix old and new batteries, different types of batteries (standard, alkaline, or rechargeable), or rechargeable batteries of different capacities. 1. Slide POWER to OFF.

Always connect the AC or DC adapter to the keyboard before you connect it to AC power or vehicle battery power. When you finish, disconnect the adapter from AC power or vehicle battery power

Preparation

before you disconnect it from the keyboard. 1. Slide POWER to OFF. 2. Set the AC or DC adapters voltage switch to 9V. 3. Insert the Adaptaplug adapter into the adapters cord so it reads + TIP. 4. Connect the AC or DC adapters barrel plug to the DC 9V jack on the back of the keyboard.
DC 9V

Listening Safely
To protect your hearing, follow these guidelines when you use headphones. Set the volume to the lowest setting before you begin listening. After you begin listening, adjust the volume to a comfortable level. Do not listen at extremely high volume levels. Extended high-volume listening can lead to permanent hearing loss. Once you set the volume, do not increase it. Over time, your ears adapt to the volume level, so a volume level that does not cause discomfort might still damage your hearing.

5. Plug the AC or DC adapters other end into a standard AC outlet or your vehicles cigarette-lighter socket.

CONNECTING HEADPHONES
To listen to your keyboard without disturbing others, you can connect an optional pair of stereo headphones with a 1/8-inch (3.5-mm) plug. Your local RadioShack store sells a wide selection of headphones. Insert the headphones plug into the PHONE jack on the back of the keyboard. Note: Connecting headphones disconnects the keyboards built-in speakers.

CONNECTING AN EXTERNAL AMPLIFIER


To amplify your keyboards sound, you can connect it to an optional external amplifier using an audio cable with a 1/8-inch (3.5-mm) plug (not supplied). To connect an external amplifier to your keyboard, insert the cables plug into the PHONE jack on the back of the keyboard, and connect the cables other end to the amplifiers input jack(s) (such as AUX IN or TAPE IN). Your local RadioShack store sells a full line of amplifiers, speakers, and connection cables.

Special Features

11

Using MIDI
Your keyboard includes a feature called MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface). MIDI is the universal standard for sending and receiving performance data between all types of electronic musical instruments, regardless of the manufacturer. Using MIDI, you can play music on your keyboard and another instrument at the same time while pressing the keys on only one, record your music to a sequencer, acquire a wider selection of preset tones from a sound module, and much more. Note: Connecting your keyboard to another MIDI device requires a MIDI cable (not supplied). See Making the MIDI Connections.

MAKING THE MIDI CONNECTIONS


To connect your keyboard to another MIDIequipped device, you must use a MIDI cable (available at your local RadioShack store). The keyboards MIDI data is sent automatically as you play. Cautions:

ABOUT MIDI
Every MIDI-equipped instrument has a MIDI OUT terminal, and some also have a MIDI IN and MIDI THRU terminal. Each of these terminals serves a different purpose. MIDI OUT sends MIDI data to (talks to) the other MIDI instrument(s). MIDI IN receives (listens to) MIDI data sent by the other MIDI instrument(s). MIDI THRU lets you connect (network) additional MIDI instruments, and sends along to other MIDI devices a copy of all data it receives through its MIDI IN terminal. Your keyboard has a MIDI OUT terminal. The cable that connects MIDI devices does not actually carry sound between them, like a speaker wire carries sound from a receiver to a speaker. Instead, MIDI-equipped devices communicate with each other using digital codes (instructions). One MIDI device sends digital instructions representing exactly what is being played on it. The other MIDI device receives and translates those instructions, then produces (or records) the sound exactly as it was played on the first device.

Always turn off power to your keyboard and the other MIDI device before you connect or disconnect MIDI cables. As you make the cable connections, be sure to align the MIDI cable pins with the matching holes on your keyboards MIDI OUT terminal. If you have trouble plugging in the cable, do not force it! You might damage the plug or the instrument. Notes: The keyboards auto-rhythms, prerecorded tunes, sustain information, and transpose information cannot be sent as MIDI data. If you send MIDI data to a device such as a personal computer, the computer will need a sound card, software to interpret the data, and a pair of speakers (none supplied). Your local RadioShack store carries sound cards, MIDI cable, and software. MIDI Channel 10 is preset to percussion data in some MIDI receiving devices, depending on the specific device you select.

12

Using MIDI

1. Use a MIDI cable to connect MIDI OUT on the back of the keyboard to the other devices MIDI IN terminal. 2. Repeatedly press MIDI to select a MIDI channel. MIDI uses up to 16 channels to

exchange data. As in a TV broadcast, different channels send different data. 3. To transmit to the MIDI device, play the melody using the keyboards black and white keys.

Troubleshooting
If your keyboard is not performing as it should, these suggestions might help. If you still cannot solve the problem, take the keyboard to your local RadioShack store for assistance.
