Keyboard from a household electrical outlet.

• It is up to you to prepare six commercially available

D-size batteries. Do not use oxyride batteries or any

other nickel based batteries.

Open the battery cover on the bottom of the

Digital Keyboard.

compartment.

Make sure the positive +and negative -ends of the

batteries are facing as shown in the illustration.

holes on the side of the battery compartment,

and close the cover.
