This posture is very similar to the recommended posture when working at a desk with a
computer keyboard. But, since the keyboard of the FKB-100L sits a little higher than a
standard computer keyboard, getting the height of your seating position correct is very
important.
This posture applies to sitting to play as well as standing. It is therefore a good idea to use
a keyboard stand that can be used when either seated or standing.
If you do choose to play seated, make sure to use a piano bench or stool that can be
adjusted in height to provide a comfortable playing position. Preferably, the seat itself
should be padded with foam and be flat, so that your back remains straight.
Connecting Up the Keyboard
The FKB-100L comes including a power supply that needs to be plugged into the power
input of the keyboard while the plug needs to be connected to a power socket with the
correct voltage. Do not use any power supply other than the one that has been included.
Make sure that the power supply is securely connected and placed so that the cable does
not become a tripping hazard. Also, make sure that the cable is not pulled too tight so it can
reach a power socket. Use an extension cable where necessary to make sure that the
power cable is not pulled too tight, or move the keyboard closer to a power socket. Use
cable binders to neaten up any excess cabling that may become a tripping hazard. Do not
tie any knots in the cable itself.
Batteries
It’s also possible to power the FKB-100L using batteries. The keyboard requires x8 D-cell
batteries (1.5V) and these must be correctly loaded into the battery compartment according
to the polarity indicated.
Use of (Internal) Speakers or Headphones
The FKB-100L is fitted with built-in speakers for direct amplification of the sound being
played. But, to practice in silence, it’s also possible to connect a pair of headphones to the
keyboard. An output for headphones, marked ‘Phones’, can be found on the back panel.
The headphone output is compatible with virtually any model of headphones that has been
designed for music. If your headphone plug does not fit in the headphone output, then an
adapter can be used (not included). Contact your local retailer for more advice about this.
Before you put your headphones on and start to play, make sure that the volume is not at
too high a level. Be especially careful when children are using the keyboard with
headphones. Always lower the master volume before putting headphones on and only ever
set the volume to a comfortable listening level while playing to avoid pain and/or injury to
the ears.
The volume is adjusted using the ‘Volume’ buttons.
