(➝ Quick Start Guide)
1. The power supply
Before you connect the power supply, make sure that the power switch is turned off
(i.e., that the display and switches are unlit).
Connecting the AC adaptor
Firmly insert the plug of the included AC adaptor into the jack. Then connect the
AC adaptor to an AC outlet.
Never use any AC adaptor other than the included one.
Inserting/exchanging batteries
The microKORG S can also be operated on batteries.
Batteries are not included. You will need to purchase them
separately.
1
Make sure that the power switch on the microKORG S is turned
off. Then open the battery cover located on the bottom of the case.
2 Insert six AA alkaline batteries.
Be careful to observe the correct polarity of the batteries.
3 Close the battery cover.
When the microKORG S is used with batteries, the speaker output level will be
lower than when the AC adapter is used. In addition, the output level will
gradually decrease as the battery power level diminishes.
Low battery display “ ”
When the batteries run low, the display will indicate " ," and the "." at the far
right will begin blinking. If you continue using the microKORG S, the Protect
setting will be turned on automatically, and you will be unable to edit program or
global settings. We recommend that you install new batteries or switch to the AC
adaptor as soon as possible. If this state occurs while you are editing, and you want
to save your settings, connect the AC adaptor and execute the Write operation.
You can cancel the "
" display by pressing the SHIFT key.
Batteries that have become unusable should be removed from the microKORG
S as soon as possible. Leaving such batteries installed may cause malfunctions
(due to battery leakage, etc.). You should also remove the batteries if you will
not be using the microKORG S for an extended period of time.
