WARNING Smoke, Strange Odor, Overheating Continued use of the product while it is emitting smoke, a strange odor, or heat creates the risk of fire and electric shock. [. . . ] If the power of the lithium battery is low, turning off piano power can result in deletion of all data stored in its memory. The normal life of the original battery is five years from the time it is loaded at the factory. Due to time spent in transit and storage, the original battery probably will not provide a full five years of service life. It is up to you to contact your nearest CASIO service provider about having the lithium battery replaced periodically. Note that you will be charged separately for lithium battery replacement. To disable power on alert See "Keyboard Settings" on page E-71 for information about disabling power on alert. When this function is turned off, the piano does not turn off automatically and no alert is performed no matter how long it is left with no operation being performed. Initializing the Piano Settings and Memory Contents The following describes what happens to settings and memory contents when power is turned off. Use the procedure on page E-81 to initialize the digital piano, which clears all memory data and returns settings to their initial factory defaults. Settings When you turn off the piano by pressing the POWER button, it "remembers" the current settings of certain parameters. These settings remain in effect the next time you turn on the piano. For information on which parameters the piano remembers, see the "Power Off Backup Items" of the "Parameter List" at the back of this manual (page A-17). Memory Contents In addition to the settings described above, the digital piano also retains registration memory and sequencer contents when power is turned off. 426-E-017A E-15 PL40NE01-1. book 16 Connections Connections Connecting to an audio or musical instrument amplifier provides even clearer, more powerful sound through external speakers. Connecting to Audio Equipment 3 Whenever connecting external equipment, first set the MAIN VOLUME knob of the digital piano and the volume controller of the external equipment to relatively low volume settings. You can later adjust volume to the level you want after connections are complete. Be sure also to refer to the documentation that comes with the external equipment for its proper connection procedures. Use commercially available cables to connect the external audio equipment to the digital piano's LINE OUT jacks as shown in Figure 3. R jack output is right channel sound, while L/MONO jack output is left channel sound. It is up to you to purchase connecting cables like the ones shown in the illustration for connection of audio equipment. Normally in this configuration you must set the audio equipment's input selector to the setting that specifies the terminal (such as AUX IN) to which the digital piano is connected. Use the digital piano's MAIN VOLUME knob to adjust the volume level. Connecting Headphones 1 Connect commercially available headphones to the digital piano's headphones jack. This cuts off the built-in speakers, which means you can practice even late at night without disturbing others. To protect your hearing, make sure that you do not set the volume level too high when using headphones. Connecting to a Musical Instrument Amplifier 4 Use commercially available cables to connect the amplifier to the digital piano's LINE OUT jacks as shown in Figure 4. R jack output is right channel sound, while L/MONO jack output is left channel sound. Connecting to the L/MONO jack only outputs a mixture of both channels. It is up to you to purchase connecting cable like the one shown in the illustration for connection of the amplifier. Use the digital piano's MAIN VOLUME knob to adjust the volume level. Connecting to a PEDAL Jack 2 Depending on the type of operation you want the pedal (SP20) to perform, connect the pedal's cable to the digital piano's DAMPER jack or SOFT/SOSTENUTO jack. If you want to use both jacks at the same time, you need to purchase another optionally available SP-20 pedal. See "Using the Pedals" on page E-21 for information about using a pedal.
