Always store packaging material out of the reach of babies and small children. Always dispose of packaging material properly when it is not in use. Never allow children to use the device without supervision. Keep small parts away from children and make sure that the device does not shed any small parts (such knobs) that children could play with.
DANGER!
Danger to life due to electric current!
A short circuit could lead to a fire hazard and risk of death. Do not modify the mains cable or the plug! In case of isolation damage, disconnect immediately the power supply and arrange repair. If in doubt, seek advice from a qualified electrician.
DANGER!
Danger to life due to electric current!
Within the device there are areas where high voltages may be present. Never remove any covers. There are no user-serviceable parts inside. Do not use the device when covers, safety equipment or optical components are missing or damaged.
WARNING!
Possible hearing damage due to high volumes on speakers or headphones!
With speakers or headphones connected, the device can produce volume levels that may cause temporary or permanent hearing impairment. Over an extended period of time, even levels that seem to be uncritical can cause hearing damage. Do not operate the device permanently at a high volume level. Decrease the volume level immediately if you experience ringing in your ears or hearing impairment.
CAUTION!
Risk of injury due to heavy weight!
The device is heavy. Lifting and dropping it during transport and installation can cause injuries. Make sure at least two people work together when transporting and installing the device.
NOTICE!
Damage to the device if operated in unsuitable ambient conditions!
The device can be damaged if it is operated in unsuitable ambient conditions. Only operate the device indoors within the ambient conditions specified in the “Technical specifications” chapter of this user manual. Avoid operating it in environments with direct sunlight, heavy dirt and strong vibrations. Avoid operating it in environments with strong temperature fluctuations. If temperature fluctuations cannot be avoided (for example after transport in low outside temperatures), do not switch on the device immediately. Never subject the device to liquids or moisture. Never move the device to another location while it is in oper- ation. In environments with increased dirt levels (for example due to dust, smoke, nicotine or mist): Have the device cleaned by qualified specialists at regular intervals to prevent damage due to overheating and other malfunctions.
NOTICE!
Damage to the external power supply due to high voltages!
The device is powered by an external power supply. The external power supply can be damaged if it is operated with the incor- rect voltage or if high voltage peaks occur. In the worst case, excess voltages can also cause a risk of injury and fires. Make sure that the voltage specification on the external power supply matches the local power grid before plugging in the power supply. Only operate the external power supply from professionally installed mains sockets that are protected by a residual current circuit breaker (FI). As a precaution, disconnect the power supply from the power grid when storms are approaching or it the device will not be used for a longer period.

Troubleshooting

9 Troubleshooting

Problem You hear a ‘pop’ sound from the speakers when switching the digital piano on and off. No sound can be heard when playing the piano.
Some notes on the keyboard sound wrong. Interference occurs when using a cell phone.

Possible causes and solutions
This is normal. No reason for concern.
Make sure that the volume control is set appropriately.
The volume of the individual parts Voice R1, Voice R2 and Voice L may be set too low. Set the volume to an appropriate level.
Check if headphones are plugged into the headphone output 2. Connecting headphones will mute the speakers of the dig- ital piano.
Set the transposition and octave shift to `0′ .
Using a mobile phone near the digital piano can cause inter- ference. To prevent this, turn off the mobile phone or use it only at a safe distance.
