Using AC Power

You can power your MD-1150 from standard AC power using a 9-volt AC

adapter (not supplied) and a Size M

Adaptaplug .

Cautions:

You must use an AC

!adapter that supplies 9 volts and delivers at least

800 milliamps. Its center tip must be set to negative, and its plug must correctly fit the MD-1150’s DC 9V jack. Using an adapter that does not meet these specifications could damage the MD-1150 or the adapter.

•Always press POWER to turn off the keyboard before you connect or dis- connect the adapter.

•Always plug the AC adapter into the MD-1150 before you plug it into the AC outlet. Always unplug the AC adapter from the AC outlet before you unplug it from the MD-1150.

Follow these steps to power your MD- 1150 from AC power.

1.Insert the adapter’s barrel plug into the DC 9V jack on the back of the MD-1150.

2.Plug the adapter into a standard AC outlet.

CONNECTING

HEADPHONES

To listen to your MD-1150 without dis- turbing others, you can connect a pair of 1/4-inch (6.35-mm) plug stereo head- phones (not supplied). Your local Ra- dioShack store sells a wide selection of headphones.

To connect a pair of headphones, insert the headphones’ plug into the PHONES/ OUTPUT jack on the back of the key- board.
