8 LCD Contrast
This knob controls the contrast of the LCD. Please set the contrast to an appropriate value. The
display is a “super-twist” model, which means that it has a wider observer angle to maximise
visibility. The contrast should be set so that no “ghosting” appears from inactive character cells.
9 Power connector
Connect the DC power adapter here. Check the specifications below carefully if you fit a PSU
not supplied by Elektron.
The PSU should be stabilised, deliver a voltage of 6V up to 7V DC and be able to supply at least
400mA to power the SidStation. The connector has a diameter of 2.1 mm. The connector should
have the positive voltage on the inner core, and ground on the outer ring. Please check that this
applies to your PSU before powering up the SidStation as both this standard and the opposite
exists.
WARNING: Using an improper type of power adapter may result in malfunction of the
SidStation and could even damage it. Please consult your dealer if you are unsure of which
kind of adapter you should use.
10 Power switch
Turns your SidStation on or off.
