PREPARATION
CONNECTING POWER
You can power your Concertmate 970 in any of these ways.
• Internal batteries (see “Using Batteries”)
• Standard AC power using an optional AC adapter (see “Using
AC Power” on Page 6)
• A vehicle’s cigarette lighter socket using an optional DC adapter (see
“Using Vehicle Battery Power” on
Page 6)
Notes:
• Connecting an AC or DC adapter automatically disconnects internal batteries.
• Always disconnect the adapter when you finish using the Concertmate 970.
Using Batteries
Your Concertmate 970 can use six AA batteries (not supplied) for power. For the best performance, we recommend alkaline batteries, such as RadioShack
Cat. No. 23-557.
Cautions:

3. Replace the cover.
Notes:
• If you won’t be using the Concertmate 970 with batteries for a week or more, or if you will be using only AC or vehicle battery power, remove the batteries.
• If the Concertmate 970 sounds weak or does not work properly, replace all six batteries. Do not mix old and new batteries.
Caution: Dispose of old batteries promptly and properly.

42-4032.fm Page 6 Wednesday, August 11, 1999 4:45 PM
Using AC Power
You can power your Concertmate 970 from standard AC power using a 9-volt
AC adapter (not supplied), such as RadioShack Cat. No. 273-1656.
Cautions:
• You must use an AC adapter that supplies 9 volts and delivers at least 800 milliamps. Its center tip must be set to negative, and its plug must correctly fit the Concertmate 970’s

Cautions:
• You must use a DC adapter that supplies 9 volts and delivers at least 800 milliamps. Its center tip must be set to negative, and its plug must properly fit the Concertmate 970’s
DC 9V
jack. The recommended adapter meets these specifications. Using an adapter that does not meet these specifications could damage the Concertmate 970 or the adapter.

CONNECTING
HEADPHONES
To listen to your Concertmate 970 without disturbing others, you can connect a pair of 1 /
4
-inch plug stereo headphones (not supplied). Your local
RadioShack store sells a wide selection of headphones.
To connect a pair of headphones, insert the headphones’ 1 /
4
-inch plug into the
PHONES/OUTPUT
jack on the back of the keyboard.
Note: Connecting headphones disconnects the Concertmate 970’s built-in speakers.
Listening Safely
To protect your hearing, follow these guidelines when you use headphones.
• Set the volume to the lowest setting before you begin listening.
After you begin listening, adjust the volume to a comfortable level.
• Do not listen at extremely high volume levels. Extended highvolume listening can lead to permanent hearing loss.
• Once you set the volume, do not increase it. Over time, your ears adapt to the volume level, so a volume level that does not cause discomfort might still damage your hearing.

RHYTHM
Notes:
• The Concertmate 970 has 12-note
(maximum) polyphonic sound.
This means that you can play up to 12 different notes at the same time with most of the keyboard’s preset sounds. Many of the keyboard’s preset sounds, however, are capable of only 6-note polyphony.
• Most sounds on this keyboard have been recorded and processed using a technique called digital sampling. To ensure a high level of tonal quality, samples are taken in the low, mid, and high ranges and then combined to sound amazingly close to the originals. You might notice very slight differences in volume or sound quality for some sounds when you play them at different positions on the keyboard. This is an unavoidable result of multiple sampling and is not a malfunction.
• Sounds 75–79 (which are sound effects) do not follow the musical scale when played, but change effect as you play them in different octaves on the keyboard.

You can set the Concertmate 970 to play two different types of auto accompaniment using the accompaniment keys.
•
Concert Chord
— lets you play chords on the accompaniment keys using chord formations of from one to four notes. The number of keys you press determines the type of chord that plays (see
“Concert Chord” on Page 17).
•
Standard Fingering
— lets you play chords on the accompaniment keys using standard chord formations of three or four notes
(see “Standard Fingering” on
Page 19).
Notes:
• You can use the Concertmate
970’s rhythm controls (
FILL-IN
and
SYNCHRO
) with both types of auto accompaniment.
• After you press the auto accompaniment keys, the Concertmate 970 plays the same chord until you press other keys to play a different chord or you press
START/STOP
.
Concert Chord
The concert chord method lets beginning keyboard players easily select and play a chord.

The number of accompaniment keys you press determines the type of chord that plays. The following table shows the type of chord that plays when you press one, two, three, or four accompaniment keys at the same time.

The lowest note you play determines the key of the chord. For example, if the lowest note is C, the keyboard plays a C chord.
Note: You can press
any
labeled note(s) to the right of the lowest note in the chord to produce a minor, a dominant seventh, or minor seventh chord.

Standard Fingering
The standard fingering method uses standard formations of three or four notes, and lets the experienced musician play a wider variety of accompaniment chords.
You can play the following 15 chord types on your Concertmate 970, in any key, using the standard fingering method.

Notes:
• To produce a 7, m7, M7, mM7, 9, or m9 chord, omit the finger positions shown in parentheses.
• When producing a 7-5 or dim7 chord, the lowest note you play determines the root of the chord. Be sure that your fingering correctly defines the root you want.
• The diagrams above show only one possible fingering position for each chord.
It is possible to play a chord using several different positions. For example, the following three fingering positions produce the same C chord.

Note: The number on the display is the number of “semitones” to which the keyboard is set, compared to its default key. A semitone is a measurement that represents the acoustical interval between the keys of any two keys on the keyboard. For example, the difference between C and C or B and B is one semitone. You can transpose the key down 6 semitones (to an F ) and up 5 semitones (to an F) — a full octave.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Your Optimus Concertmate 970 Portable Electronic Keyboard is an example of superior design and craftsmanship. The following suggestions will help you care for your Concertmate 970 so you can enjoy it for years.
Keep the Concertmate 970 dry. If it gets wet, wipe it dry immediately.
Liquids might contain minerals that can corrode the electronic circuits.
Handle the Concertmate 970 gently and carefully. Dropping it can damage circuit boards and cases and can cause the keyboard to work improperly.
Use and store the Concertmate 970 only in normal temperature environments. Temperature extremes can shorten the life of electronic devices, damage batteries, and distort or melt plastic parts.
Keep the Concertmate 970 away from dust and dirt, which can cause premature wear of parts.
Wipe the Concertmate 970 with a damp cloth occasionally to keep it looking new. Do not use harsh chemicals, cleaning solvents, or strong detergents to clean the Concertmate 970.
Modifying or tampering with the Concertmate 970’s internal components can cause a malfunction, might invalidate its warranty, and void your FCC authorization to use it. If your Concertmate 970 is not performing as it should, take it to your local RadioShack store for assistance.

Repaired or replaced parts and products are warranted for the remainder of the original warranty period. You will be charged for repair or replacement of the product made after the expiration of the warranty period.
