[. . . ] Do not operate for a long period of time at a high volume level or at a level that is uncomfortable. If you experience any hearing loss or ringing in the ears, you should consult an audiologist. The product should be located away from heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, or other products that produce heat. The product should be connected to a power supply only of the type described in the operating instructions or as marked on the product. [. . . ] Enclosed with the MicroPiano are four screws and four small adhesive-backed rubber feet for mounting the unit to any half-rack adapter. Attach the rubber feet as shown in the diagram on the next page. The feet are required to be attached to the MicroPiano, whether you mount it in a halfrack adapter or sit it on a table. To mount the MicroPiano to a half-rack adapter, you must use the screws supplied. The four holes in the bottom of the MicroPiano are positioned such that they should line up with at least two mounting holes in most standard adapters. See the illustration on the next page for more mounting information. Be sure to USE THE SCREWS THAT COME WITH THE UNIT. They are 3/8" in length and intended for use in conjunction with the rubber feet. If these screws are misplaced, do not substitute with screws that are longer than 3/8" in length. If the screws are longer than that, they will hit electronic components within the MicroPiano and very likely damage it. 2 Holes for mounting unit to a standard half-rack adapter. Apply a rubber foot in each corner approximately as shown. MicroPiano Mounting Diagram Be sure to USE THE SCREWS THAT COME WITH THE UNIT.

This allows you to easily tune with other instruments in your ensemble. Press the Tuning button, then turn the Data knob to select the desired tuning. Turning the Data knob to the left tunes the MicroPiano ßat, while turning the Data knob to the right tunes the MicroPiano sharp Ñ within a range of ± 50 cents. The default setting for TUNING is Ò0Ó when the MicroPiano is turned on. Note: The Þrst two piano programs are ÒbeatÓ tuned, like an acoustic piano. Since the higher harmonics of a stretched string tend to be sharper than those of the real harmonic series, beat tuning ensures that the piano remains in tune with itself harmonically. For this reason, beat tuning is sometimes referred to as ÒsoloÓ tuning. The second two programs offer straight tuning, where the fundamental of each note is tuned to A440. This allows for better mixing with other acoustic and electronic instruments. This type of tuning, therefore, is sometimes known as Òensemble tuning.
