For added flexibility and control as you make music, you can connect an optional sustain pedal, available through your local RadioShack store or online at www.radioshack.com. A sustain pedal lets you sustain or soften the keyboard’s sound, or even start and stop an auto-rhythm.

To connect a sustain pedal to your keyboard, insert the pedal’s plug into SUSTAIN/ASSIGNABLE JACK on the back of the keyboard.

You can adjust the keyboard to these settings when you use a sustain pedal.

$!$ (Sustain)—Causes one or more notes to linger after they are played.

the display is the number of “cents” to which the keyboard is currently tuned, compared to its default pitch.

2.Within 5 seconds, repeatedly press – or + to lower or raise the keyboard’s pitch. Each time you press the key, the number decreases or increases by 1 cent.
