Connecting the Power Supply

The MPS20's power is supplied by a DC power adapter. Before connecting the MPS20's power 
adapter, make sure that the power switch (located on the upper right end of the instrument) is in 
the off position (not pushed in).

Connect the power adapter to the DC jack on the rear panel of the MPS20.

CAUTION: 

All DC power adapters are NOT the same!

Only use the DC power adapter supplied with the MPS20. 
Connecting the wrong DC power adapter could damage the 
MPS20.

If the power adapter is damaged or lost, contact your 
Kurzweil Dealer to order a replacement.

Then connect the power cord to an AC outlet.

(The shape of this plug differs depending on locale.)
