Install Batteries

(Always ask an adult to install the batteries for you.)

This keyboard uses 4 size AA (1.5 V) batteries (not included).

Loosen the screw on the battery compartment door with a Phillips head screwdriver. Open the compartment and refer to the image inside to install the batteries. Pay close attention to the negative (–) and positive (+) ends of the battery to be sure they are placed correctly. Incorrect installation of batteries can damage the keyboard or cause an electrical hazard.

Note: If the batteries start to wear out, the keyboard’s sound may deteriorate. If this happens, install a new set of batteries. If you are not going to play for a long time, remove the batteries from the keyboard. Do not mix old and new batteries. Do not mix alkaline standard (carbon-zinc) and rechargeable (nickel-cadmium) batteries.

PLUG IT IN(Optional)

Insert the plug of a standard DC converter (6V) into the rear panel, labeled ”DC 6V”, and plug it into an outlet. Use only a 6-volt DC converter with this keyboard.

Use of a converter of the wrong voltage could damage the keyboard or cause an electrical hazard. Unplug the keyboard when not in use.
