Startup—the Details

This section will walk you through the hookup of your K2500. We’ll take a look at the rear

panel, then describe the power, audio, and other cable connections.

Before You Start...

Don’t connect anything until you make sure your K2500 is properly and safely situated. Also, if

your K2500 has been out in the cold, give the unit a little time to warm up to room temperature

before starting it, since condensation may have formed inside the K2500.

You’ll probably be mounting a K2500R in a standard 19-inch MIDI rack (it takes up three rack

spaces). If you will be transporting the rack containing the K2500R, be sure to support the back

of the K2500R within the rack. If you’re not installing the K2500R in a rack, it should rest on a

hard ﬂat surface. In this case, it

must

rest on its rubber feet (supplied in the packing carton), and

NOT

on the bottom panel.

NEVER

block the ventilation openings on the bottom or rear panels; doing so can cause

overheating and serious damage. To provide adequate ventilation, the rear panel should be at

least four inches from any vertical surface.

There are no user-serviceable parts in the K2500

Under no circumstances should you attempt to remove any panels (except for battery

installation or replacement). If you attempt to open your K2500, you’ll risk electric shock, and

you’ll void your product warranty.

Battery Installation

We’ve included three AA batteries for your K2500’s battery-backed RAM. Depending on when

your K2500 was shipped, we may not have installed the batteries at the factory because they

would drain during shipping. If you’ve found three batteries shipped in the box with your unit,

you should install the batteries before you start up your K2500. Otherwise, continue on to the

next section.

Locate the battery compartment in the lower right-hand corner of the rear panel of the K2500R

(refer the illustration on the following page) or the small door on the bottom of the K2500

keyboard models, as shown below.

Remove the battery compartment cover by inserting a ﬂat-head screwdriver or coin into its slot,

then turning it counterclockwise until it pops out. Slide the three batteries, all positive side out,

into the compartment. Install the battery compartment cover by lining up the tabs, pushing the

cap inward, then turning it 90

When you start up your unit for the ﬁrst time after installing the batteries, it will take a few

minutes to initialize all of its memory. This will not happen on every power up.
