GETTING  STARTED  GUIDE
Before You Start…
Don’t connect anything until you make sure the Forte SE is properly and safely situated. If 
your Forte SE keyboard has been out in the cold, give it time to warm up to room temperature 
before starting it, since condensation may have formed inside.
Setting up the Forte SE
1.  Set the keyboard on a hard, at, level surface.
2.  Four adhesive-backed rubber feet are provided with Forte SE. Carefully turn the keyboard 
over onto a soft surface, remove the paper backing from the rubber feet and attach them.
NOTE : Unless the instrument will always be used with a keyboard stand, 
attachment of the rubber feet is strongly advised. Otherwise protruding 
screws will scratch the tabletop.
3.  Connect the AC power cord to the Forte SE. Before plugging the cable into the power 
outlet, check that the power is compatible with the Forte SE. e Forte SE runs on AC 
power and works with voltages from 80-265 volts 50-60 Hz. e voltage level is detected 
and set automatically by the Forte SE. If your power source does not have the standard 
three hole outlet, you should take the time to install a proper grounding system. is will 
reduce the risk of a shock. If your power outlet is not within these ranges it is recommended 
you use an appropriate adaptor.
4.  Plug the power cable into the wall.
5.  Plug the Switch Pedal into the marked SW1 (Sustain) Pedal jack on the Forte SE rear 
panel.
6.  Connect stereo headphones to the headphone jack on the rear panel or connect the audio 
outputs to your mixer or amplier inputs using standard (1/4-inch) audio cables (use the 
Left out for mono). Balanced (“TRS” or “Stereo”) cables are recommended if your mixer 
or amp supports balanced inputs.
