FUNC indicator will go out and the display will indicate the Tone

Key Transpose [TRANSPOSE]
The key transpose function allows you to transpose (raise or lower) the pitch
of the notes so that you can play in different keys while using a familiar
fingering. For example, if you raise (transpose) the pitch by 2 semitones, you
can play songs in the key of D major using the fingering of the C major scale.
NOTE: Raising the pitch (when using E. PIANO 3, MALLET 3 or any STRINGS variation}
will cause the highest notes to shift down an octave - this is due to memory restrictions.
1 Press FUNC (the indicator will light).
2 Press TRANSPOSE (the indicator will light). The display will read “0”
to indicate that no transposition is in effect.
3 Use the VARIATION buttons to select the amount of transposition in
semitone steps. You can raise the pitch by a maximum of 5 semitones
(1-5), or lower it by a maximum of 6 semitones {-1 - -6).
For example, if you select number °1" with the VARIATION buttons, playing
the note °C” will produce the pitch “C#". This is because the pitch has been
raised by one semitone. If you select "2", playing the note “C" will produce the
pitch “D” because the keyboard has been transposed by 2 semitones.
4 When you have selected the desired pitch transposition, press FUNC.
The FUNC indicator will go out and the display will indicate the Tone
variation as before.
EY * The default setting (no pitch transposition) will be selected each time the
unit is turned on.
