SETTING UP
Your SDMK2 will run on batteries or from the power adapter included.
Using an AC Adapter
Connect the power adapter to the DC IN jack located
on the rear panel of the unit, and plug the AC
power adapter into an AC power outlet. Do not use
adapters other than the one specified. The technical
specification of the adapter is 9V DC output, 800mA,
center positive type.
Using Batteries
1 Open the battery compartment cover on
the underside of the unit.
2 Insert six “C” size batteries. When inserting
the batteries, be careful to follow the
polarity markings in the illustration.
3 Close the battery compartment.
An optional set of stereo headphones can be connected to the
Headphone Jack located on the rear panel. When a pair of
headphones are plugged into the jack, the internal speakers
will switch off automatically – perfect for private practice
or late night playing. If you want to use an external sound system,
the Headphone Jack can also be used to connect the SDMK2
to a stereo system or mixing console.
* Turn all equipment off before making any connections.
Power supply
Using headphones
NOTE:
Power will be automatically drawn from the AC adapter if an optional AC adapter is connected while batteries are installed in the instrument.
CAUTION: It is recommended that you replace worn batteries as soon as possible. When battery voltage drops, the display will dim and/or the sound will become
distorted. When this occurs, replace the batteries with a complete set of six new batteries of the same type.
NEVER mix old and new batteries, different types of batteries (alkaline, magnesium, etc.), batteries by different makers, or batteries from the same maker but of
different types. Misuse may cause the instrument to become hot, resulting in fire or battery leakage. Also, to prevent damage due to battery leakage, remove all
batteries from the instrument when it is not to be used for an extended period of time. Batteries left in an unused instrument will also loose their power over time.
