How to Use This Manual
This manual describes how to connect and power up your PC3, getting around the front panel,
and a brief description of the operating modes. For information on editing and advanced
programming features, refer to additional material provided on the Kurzweil website:

The best way to read this manual is with your PC3 in front of you. By trying the examples we
give to illustrate various functions, you can get a quick understanding of the basics, then move
on to the more advanced features.
Do I Have Everything?
Your PC3 shipping carton should include the following in addition to your instrument:
• Power cable
• Sustain pedal
• USB cable
• Getting Started manual (this book)
• Warranty card
If you don’t have all of these components, please call your Kurzweil/Young Chang dealer.
You may also want to purchase an xD memory card for storage (32MB – 256MB will work, Type
S or no type stated, formatted FAT16), and an xD card interface for your computer, if one is not
built in.
Boot Loader
When you need to update the PC3’s software or run diagnostic tests, you’ll use the Boot Loader.
To bring up the Boot Loader, hold down the
Exit button (below the cursor buttons, to the right of
the display) while powering on your PC3. Refer to Appendix B for details on the Boot Loader.
Battery
The PC3 uses a CR2032 battery to power its clock. The battery should last five years, and a
message will tell you when the battery needs replacing. The access panel on the bottom of the
PC3 (which you can easily remove with a screwdriver) allows you to get at the battery for
removal and replacement.
CAUTION: Danger of explosion if battery is incorrectly replaced. Replace only with the same or
equivalent type (CR2032).
