Turning On/O the Power
*  Once everything is properly connected, be sure to follow the procedure 
below to turn on their power. If you turn on equipment in the wrong 
order, you risk causing malfunction or equipment failure.
1.  Before turning on the XPS-10’s power, consider these two 
questions:
 . Is the AC adaptor and any other equipment connected correctly?
 . Have the volume controls of the XPS-10 and all connected audio 
devices been turned to their lowest settings?
2.  On the XPS-10’s front panel, press the [
L
] button to turn 
the power on.
*  This unit is equipped with a protection circuit. A brief interval (a few 
seconds) after turning the unit on is required before it will operate 
normally.
*  Before turning the unit on/o, always be sure to turn the volume down. 
Even with the volume turned down, you might hear some sound when 
switching the unit on/o. However, this is normal and does not indicate 
a malfunction.
*  To ensure proper operation of the pitch bend lever, make sure not to 
touch the lever when turning the XPS-10’s power on.
3.  Turn on the power for any connected audio devices.
4.  While playing the keyboard and listening to the sound, 
slowly increase the volume of the XPS-10 and the volume 
of the connected equipment until you obtain the desired 
volume.

amount of time has passed since it was last used for playing music, or its 
buttons or controls were operated (Auto O function).
If you do not want the power to be turned o automatically, disengage the 
Auto O function (p. 31).

should save them beforehand.
