Getting Ready
Turning On the Power
1
Before turning on the Fantom’s power, consider these two questions:
• Are all peripheral devices connected correctly?
• Have the volume controls of the Fantom and all connected audio devices been 
turned to their lowest settings?
2
Turn on the POWER ON switch located on the rear panel of the 
Fantom.

Turn on the power for any connected amplifiers or speakers.

Play the Fantom’s keyboard, gradually increasing the setting of its 
volume control, and then carefully raise the volume of your connected 
amplifiers or speakers to the desired listening level.

Once the connections have 
een completed (p. 3), turn on 
power to your various devices 
in the order specified. By 
turning on devices in the 
wrong order, you risk causing 
malfunction and/or damage to 
speakers and other devices.
To ensure proper operation of 
the pitch bend lever, make 
sure not to touch the lever 
when turning the Fantom’s 
power on.
This unit is equipped with a 
protection circuit. A brief 
interval (a few seconds) after 
power up is required before 
the unit will operate normally.
When you turn on the power, the display backlight lights, and the BEAT indicator 
blinks in time with the tempo ( =**). If the Backlight Saver function is turned on, the 
display backlight may turn off. Should this occur, the BEAT indicator will light in 
orange to indicate that the power’s on.
Be careful not to set your 
listening volume too high to 
avoid damage to your amp/
speaker system or your 
hearing.
