Before You Play
Selecting the Power Source
The Aerophone Pro can operate on batteries or on the included AC
adaptor.
When using batteries
This allows approximately 6 hours of playing.
1. Insert six Ni-MH batteries (AA).
* Battery life can vary depending on the specifications
of the batteries, capacity of the batteries, and the
conditions of use.
* When the batteries run low, the power LED (orange)
blinks. Replace the battery as soon as possible.
* When turning the unit over, be careful so as to
protect the buttons and knobs from damage. Also,
handle the unit carefully; do not drop it.
* If you handle batteries improperly, you risk explosion and fluid
leakage. Make sure that you carefully observe all of the items
related to batteries that are listed in “USING THE UNIT SAFELY” and
“IMPORTANT NOTES” (leaflet “USING THE UNIT SAFELY” and Owner’s
Manual (p. 2)).
When using AC adaptor
You can play without being concerned about how much battery
power you have left.
1. Connect the included AC adaptor as shown in the
illustration.
* Use the cord hook to secure the cord of the AC adaptor as shown
in the illustration.

Turning the Power On/Off
Turning the power on
* If an external device is connected to this unit, minimize its volume
before you turn on the power.
1. Turn the unit’s [ L ] switch “ON.”
The power LED is lit, and the display shows the scene screen.
2. If an external device is connected to this unit,
power-on the external device, and then adjust the
volume.
Turning the power off
1. If an external device is connected to this unit, turn
off the power of the connected external devices.
2. Turn the unit’s [ L ] switch “OFF.”
* The power to this unit will be turned off automatically after a
predetermined amount of time has passed since it was last used
for playing music, or its buttons or controls were operated (Auto
off function). If you do not want the power to be turned off
automatically, disengage the Auto Off function (p. 21).
• Unsaved data is lost when the power turns off. Before turning the
power off, save the data that you want to keep.
• To restore power, turn the power on again.
* You might hear some sound when switching the unit on/off.
However, this is normal and does not indicate a malfunction.
