Other Important Function
This section presents other important functions you may need
regularly.
Viewing the Remaining Battery Level

hand register [6/13].
The display shows the battery status.
“Battery oooo” indicates maximum remaining amount, “Battery
ooo” indicates high, “Battery oo” indicates medium, and “Battery

batteries.

being used.
The previous screen reappears after a time.
Switching the Speaker Setting
If the FR-4x is connected to an external amp system, you can turn
the Speakers setting “OFF” to disable the built-in speakers, so that
no sound is output from the FR-4x itself. This is convenient when
you want to conserve the batteries.
If the Speakers setting is either “ON” or “ON.PH (On+Phones),”
the speaker is on, and sound is output from the FR-4x itself.
However with the “ON” setting, connecting headphones to the
PHONES jack automatically turns off the built-in speakers.
1. Hold down the [SHIFT] button and press the right
hand register [5/12].
Each time you press this, the setting of the Speakers changes in the
following order.

Additional Information About the Organ Sounds and the
Rotary Effect (Organ Section)
A rotary effect (an effect that adds the modulation that is
characteristic of a rotating speaker) is applied to organ sounds.
The FR-4x lets you switch the rotational speed of this rotary effect
between fast and slow.

part and orchestra free bass part.
