Using AC Power

You can power your MD-1600 from standard AC power using a 12-volt AC adapter (not supplied) and a Size M Adaptaplug.

Cautions:

You must use an AC

!adapter that supplies 12 volts and delivers at least

1.5amps. Its center tip must be set to negative, and its plug must cor- rectly fit the MD-1600’s DC 12V jack. Using an adapter that does not meet these specifications could damage the MD-1600 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-1600 before you plug it into the AC outlet. Always unplug the AC adapter from the AC outlet before you unplug it from the MD-1600.

Follow these steps to power your MD- 1600 from AC power.

1.Insert the adapter’s barrel plug into the DC 12V jack on the back of the MD-1600.

2.Plug the adapter into a standard AC outlet.

CONNECTING

HEADPHONES

To listen to your MD-1600 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’ 1/4-inch (6.35-mm) plug into the PHONES/OUTPUT jack on the back of the keyboard.

Note: Connecting headphones discon- nects the MD-1600’s built-in speakers.

Listening Safely

To protect your hearing, follow these guidelines when you use headphones.

•Set the volume to the lowest setting before you begin listening. After you begin listening, adjust the volume to a comfortable level.

•Do not listen at extremely high vol- ume levels. Extended high-volume listening can lead to permanent hearing loss.
