Attach the supplied music stand to the PDP-400 by inserting it into the groove
at the rear of the instrument’s top panel.
The Foot Switch
The supplied FC4 foot switch should normally be connected to the DAMPER
jack. It (or an optional FC4 or FC5 foot switch) can also be connected to the
FOOT SWITCH jack — see page 14 for details.

The Power Switch
In some areas the power cord must be connected to a socket on the rear panel of
the instrument before being plugged into an AC wall outlet. A plug adaptor may
also be provided to match the pin configuration of the AC wall outlets in your area.
Make sure the power cord is properly connected to both the instrument and a con-
venient AC wall outlet, then press the [POWER] switch located to the left of the
keyboard once to turn the power on. Press the [POWER] switch again to turn the
power off.
When the power is initially turned on, the PIANO voice selector LED will
light, the POP style selector LED will light, and “72” will appear on the TEMPO
display.
