Connections

Using headphones cuts off output from the built-in speakers, which means you can practice playing even late at night without disturbing others.

•Be sure to turn down the volume level before connecting headphones.

•Headphones do not come with the Digital Keyboard.

•Use commercially available headphones.

•Do not listen to very high volume output over headphones for long periods. Doing so creates the risk of hearing damage.

•If you are using headphones that require an adaptor plug, make sure you do not leave the adaptor plugged in when removing the headphones.
