Two Built-In Speakers — let you hear

the sound you create.

Two Power Options — let you power the keyboard from internal batteries (not supplied) or standard AC power (with an optional adapter), so you can make mu- sic almost anywhere.

Notes:

If the keyboard is left in one place for a very long time, its feet could mar your furniture’s finish. We rec- ommend you place the feet on felt cloth pads to protect your furniture or use a keyboard stand, available at your local RadioShack store.

This Owner’s Manual explains how to use this electronic keyboard. It does not teach music.
