Using the keyboard cover to conceal the panel 

(Classic Position)

If you raise the keyboard cover slowly, it stops at a position that 

hides the buttons and the display. If you use the cover to hide the 

operation panel, you’ll be able to play as though you were playing 

an acoustic piano. When you push the cover further inward and up, it 

stops in a position where the operation panel is visible.
