Please note that the appearance of any of following phenomena does not indicate a mechanical failure of the
Electone.

Problem
GENERAL OPERATION
Some of the LEDs in the DISPLAY SELECT
section do not light.
No sound is produced from the Electone’s
speakers.
A cracking noise is sometimes heard.
Interference from radio, TV, or other sources
occurs.
The sound of the Electone causes
surrounding objects to resonate.
The Electone panel does not function
normally or the content of the memorized
data has changed.
VOICES/RHYTHMS
When too many keys are pressed, not all of
the notes sound.
When playing a Pedal voice from the Lower
keyboard (using the To Lower function),
pressing the Lower keyboard’s Sustain button
does not turn on Sustain.
The sound is too soft, despite the volume
being set to the maximum.
Switching voices causes the volume to
change, despite their having identical volume
settings.
When keys on the Lower keyboard or
Pedalboard are pressed, the sounds of
percussion instruments are also heard.
Only one sound is heard when two notes of
the Lead or Pedal voices are simultaneously
played.
The Pedal voices do not sound, even though
the volume is properly set.
Possible Cause and Solution
The LEDs of on/off buttons [RHYTHM PROGRAM and TREMOLO
(FAST)] are lit when those functions are turned on. The LEDs of other
function’s buttons momentarily flash when the functions are selected.
The plug of the cable from the speaker unit is disconnected. Refer to
the separate “Assembly Instructions,” and reconnect the plug securely.
Noise may be produced when either an electrical appliance is turned on or
off, or an electric power tool (such as drill) is used in the proximity of the
Electone. If this occurs, plug the Electone into an electrical outlet located
as far as possible from the device that seems to be the source of the problem.
This is caused by the proximity of a high-power broadcasting station or
amateur ham radio setup.
Because the Electone is capable of producing powerful bass sounds,
resonance may be caused in surrounding objects, such as cabinets or
glass windows. To avoid this, relocate the objects or lower the
Electone’s volume.
This happens very rarely. Occasionally, power surges and spikes due to
electrical storms or other reasons may cause the Electone to malfunction
and/or alter the contents of memorized data. If this happens, perform
the Power On Reset operation to reset the Electone. (See page 47.)
Total polyphonic capacity (notes sounding for both Upper and Lower
Keyboards) is 11 notes.
Even though the Pedal voice is being played from the Lower keyboard, it
is still a Pedal voice; turn the Sustain on with the Pedal Sustain button.
(See page 29.)
Check all of the volume controls, making sure that they are set to
suitable levels: the panel Volume controls for each voice section, the
Master Volume dial, and the Expression Pedal.
The volume of certain voices may seem lower than that of others.
Adjust the balance of the sound with the Volume control within the
appropriate Voice Condition display.
The keyboard Percussion function has been turned on. When not using
the function, be sure to furn it off. (See page 39.)
For practical performance reasons, the Electone has been designed so
that one note of the Lead or Pedal voices can be played at a time. If
several keys are pressed at once, only the highest note will be sounded
(highest-note priority).
The Single Finger or Fingered Chord mode of Auto Bass Chord is on.
Turn off the mode in the display. (See page 36.)
