IMPORTANT

Check Your Power Supply

Make sure that your local AC mains voltage matches

the voltage specified on the name plate on the bottom

panel. In some areas a voltage selector may be

provided on the bottom panel of the main keyboard

unit near the power cord. Make sure that the voltage

selector is set for the voltage in your area. The voltage

selector is set at 240V when the unit is initially shipped.

To change the setting use a “minus” screwdriver to

rotate the selector dial so that the correct voltage

appears next to the pointer on the panel.
