NOTICE
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications.

PHONES/OUTPUT Terminal
Musical Instrument Amplifier (Figure 3) Use a commercially available connecting cord* to connect the keyboard to a musical instrument amplifier. * Be sure to use a connecting cord that has a stereo mini plug on the end you connect to the keyboard, and a connector that provides dual channel (left and right) input to the amplifier to which you are connecting. The wrong type of connector at either end can cause one of the stereo channels to be lost. When connecting to a musical instrument amplifier, set the volume of the keyboard to a relatively low level and make output volume adjustments using the amplifier's controls. [Connection Example]

Connecting Phones (Figure 1) Connecting phones cuts off output from the keyboard's built-in speakers, so you can play even late at night without disturbing anyone. Audio Equipment (Figure 2) Connect the keyboard to an audio equipment using a commercially available connecting cord with a mini plug on one end and two PIN plugs on the other end. Note that the mini plug you connect to the keyboard must be a stereo plug, otherwise you will be able to output only one of stereo channels.

See the user documentation that comes with your audio equipment for full details.
