setting up
Your digital multi-pad will run on either batteries or a power adapter.
Follow the instructions below according to the power source you
intend to use.
Using an AC-Adapter
1
Connect the power adapter to the DC IN jack located on the
rear panel of the unit and plug the AC power adapter into an
AC power outlet.
Note: Do not use adapters other than the one specified. The technical
specification of the adapter is a DC 12V 2200mA, center positive.
Using Batteries
2
Open the battery compartment cover on the underside of
the unit.
3
Insert six “C” size R 14, SUM-2 or equivalent batteries. When
inserting the batteries, be careful to follow the polarity
markings in the illustration.
Note: We suggest using alkaline batteries.
4
Close the battery compartment securely.
Note: Power will be automatically drawn from the AC adapter if
an optional AC adapter is connected while batteries are installed
in the instrument.
Caution
: It is recommended that you replace worn batteries as
soon as possible. When battery voltage drops, the display will dim
and / or the sound will become distorted, when this occurs, replace
the batteries with a complete set of six new batteries of the same type.
NEVER mix old and new batteries, different types of batteries
(alkaline, magnesium, etc.), batteries by different makers, or batteries
from the same maker but of different types.
Misuse may cause the instrument to become hot, result in fire, or
battery leakage.
To prevent damage due to battery leakage, remove all the batteries
from the instrument when it is not to be used for an extended period
of time. Batteries left in an unused instrument will also lose their
power over time.
An optional set of stereo headphones can be connected to the
PHONES/OUTPUT jack located on the rear panel. When a pair
of headphones is connected to the jack, the internal speakers of
the unit will switch off automatically, perfect for private practice
or late night playing. If you want to use with an external sound
system, the headphone jack can also be used to connect the
digital multi-pad to a stereo system or mixing console.
Note: Turn off the power on all equipment before making
any connections.
