Appendix IV. Troubleshooting

and nothing to worry about.
After turning the power on to the keyboard there was no sound when the keys were pressed.| Check the master volume is set to the correct volume. Check those headphones or any other equipment are not plugged into the keyboard as these will cause the built-in speaker system to cut off automatically.
Sound is distorted or interrupted and the keyboard is not working properly.| Use of incorrect power adapter. Use the power adapter supplied or the batteries may need replacing.
There is a slight difference in the timbre of some notes.| This is normal and is caused by the many different voice sampling ranges of the keyboard.
When using the sustain function some tones have long sustain and some short sustain.| This is normal. The best length of sustain for different tones has been pre-set.
The master volume or accompaniment volume is not right.| Check that the master volume and accompaniment volume are set correctly.
In SYNC status the auto accompaniment does not work.| Check to make sure Single Finger or Fingered mode has been selected and then play a note from the first 19 keys on the left-hand side of the keyboard.
The pitch of the note is not correct.| Check that the transpose is set to 00.
The keyboard appears to switch itself off.| This is the power-saving feature in operation. See page 6.
