CONNECTING

HEADPHONES

To listen to your keyboard without disturbing others, you can connect an optional pair of stereo headphones with a 1/8-inch (3.5-mm) plug. Your local RadioShack store sells a wide selection of headphones.

Insert the headphones’ plug into the PHONE jack on the back of the keyboard.

Note: Connecting headphones disconnects the keyboard’s built-in speakers.

Listening Safely

To protect your hearing, follow these guide- lines 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 volume levels. Extended high-volume listening can lead to permanent hearing loss.

•Once you set the volume, do not increase it. Over time, your ears adapt to the volume level, so a volume level that does not cause discomfort might still damage your hearing.

CONNECTING AN EXTERNAL AMPLIFIER

To amplify your keyboard’s sound, you can connect it to an optional external amplifier using an audio cable with a 1/8-inch (3.5-mm) plug (not supplied).

To connect an external amplifier to your key- board, insert the cable’s plug into the PHONE jack on the back of the keyboard, and con- nect the cable’s other end to the amplifier’s input jack(s) (such as AUX IN or TAPE IN).

Your local RadioShack store sells a full line of amplifiers, speakers, and connection ca- bles.
