					We recommend you record your Con-   
					certmate 690’s serial number here.   
					The number is located on the bottom of   
					the Concertmate 690.   
					THE FCC WANTS YOU   
					TO KNOW   
					This electronic keyboard complies with   
					the limits for a Class B digital device as   
					specified in Part 15 of FCC Rules.   
					These limits provide reasonable pro-   
					tection against radio and TV interfer-   
					ence in a residential area. However,   
					your Concertmate 690 might cause TV   
					or radio interference even when it is   
					operating properly. To eliminate inter-   
					ference, you can try one or more of the   
					following corrective measures:   
					Serial Number _________________   
					• Increase the distance between the   
					Concertmate 690 and the radio or   
					TV.   
					• Use outlets on different electrical   
					circuits for the Concertmate 690   
					and the radio or TV.   
					Consult your local RadioShack store if   
					the problem still exists.

					PREPARATION   
					2. Press the tab on the battery com-   
					partment cover in the direction of   
					the arrow, then pull up to remove   
					the cover.   
					CONNECTING POWER   
					For portable use, you can power your   
					Concertmate 690 using internal batter-   
					ies. Using optional adapters, you can   
					also power it from a standard AC outlet   
					or your vehicle’s cigarette lighter sock-   
					et.   
					Tab   
					Notes:   
					• Connecting an AC or DC adapter   
					automatically disconnects internal   
					batteries.   
					3. Put the batteries into the compart-   
					ment as indicated by the polarity   
					symbols (+ and –) marked beside   
					the compartment.   
					• Always disconnect an AC or DC   
					adapter when you finish using the   
					Concertmate 690.   
					4. Replace the cover.   
					Notes:   
					• If you do not plan to use the   
					Concertmate 690 with batteries   
					for a week or more, remove the   
					batteries.   
					Using Batteries   
					Your Concertmate 690 can use six AA   
					batteries for power. For the best per-   
					formance, we recommend alkaline   
					batteries, such as RadioShack Cat.   
					No. 23-552.   
					• If the Concertmate 690 sounds   
					weak or does not work properly,   
					replace all six batteries. Do not   
					mix old and new batteries.   
					Cautions:   
					• Use only fresh batteries of the re-   
					quired size and recommended   
					type.   
					Caution: Dispose of old batteries   
					promptly and properly.   
					Cautions:   
					• Do not mix old and new batteries,   
					different types of batteries (stan-   
					dard, alkaline, or rechargeable),   
					or rechargeable batteries of differ-   
					ent capacities.   
					• Always remove old or weak bat-   
					teries; batteries can leak chemi-   
					cals that can destroy electronic   
					parts.   
					• Dispose of old batteries promptly   
					and properly.   
					1. Set MODE to POWER OFF.

					3. Plug the adapter into a standard   
					AC outlet.   
					Using AC Power   
					You can power your Concertmate 690   
					from a standard AC outlet using a 9-   
					volt AC adapter, such as Cat. No. 273-   
					1656.   
					Using Vehicle Battery Power   
					You can power your Concertmate 690   
					from your vehicle’s cigarette lighter   
					socket using a DC adapter, such as   
					Cat. No. 270-1562.   
					Cautions:   
					• You must use an AC adapter that   
					supplies 9 volts of DC power and   
					delivers at least 500 milliamps. Its   
					center tip must be set to negative,   
					and its barrel plug must properly   
					fit the Concertmate 690’s DC 9V   
					jack. The recommended adapter   
					meets these specifications. Using   
					an adapter that does not meet   
					these specifications could dam-   
					age the Concertmate 690 or the   
					adapter.   
					Cautions:   
					• You must use a DC adapter that   
					supplies 9 volts of DC power and   
					delivers at least 500 milliamps. Its   
					center tip must be sent to nega-   
					tive, and its barrel plug must prop-   
					erly fit the Concertmate 690’s DC   
					9V jack. The recommended adapt-   
					er meets these specifications. Us-   
					ing an adapter that does not meet   
					these specifications could dam-   
					age the Concertmate 690 or the   
					adapter.   
					• Always plug the AC adapter into   
					the Concertmate 690 before you   
					plug it into the AC outlet. Always   
					unplug the AC adapter from the   
					AC outlet before you unplug it   
					from the Concertmate 690.   
					• Always plug the DC adapter into   
					the Concertmate 690 before you   
					plug it into the cigarette lighter   
					socket. Always unplug the DC   
					adapter from the cigarette lighter   
					socket before you unplug it from   
					the Concertmate 690.   
					1. Set MODE to POWER OFF.   
					2. Insert the AC adapter’s barrel plug   
					into the DC 9V jack on the rear of   
					the Concertmate 690.

					To easily view sheet music while play-   
					ing your Concertmate 690, insert the   
					supplied sheet music stand into the   
					holes on the top rear panel.   
					1. Set MODE to POWER OFF.   
					2. Connect the adapter’s 5.5 mm   
					outer diameter/2.1 mm inner di-   
					ameter plug to the adapter’s cord,   
					matching TIP to negative (–).   
					3. Set the adapter’s voltage switch to   
					9 volts.   
					4. Insert the adapter’s barrel plug   
					into the Concertmate 690’s DC 9V

					Easy Random Fingering   
					USING AUTO   
					ACCOMPANIMENT   
					The easy random fingering method   
					lets beginning keyboard players easily   
					select and play a chord.   
					After you select an auto-rhythm, the   
					Concertmate 690 lets you automatical-   
					ly add a harmonic accompaniment.   
					The number of accompaniment keys   
					you press determines the type of chord   
					played. The following chart shows the   
					type of chord that plays when you   
					press one, two, three, or four accom-   
					paniment keys at the same time.   
					You can select from two auto   
					accompaniment types—easy random   
					fingering or standard fingering. Both   
					methods are explained in detail in the   
					following sections. But, in brief, to add

					• To produce a simple variation of a Cm7, Cmaj7, Cdim, or CmM7 chord, omit   
					the finger positions shown in parentheses (on the keys).   
					• The diagram above shows only one possible finger position for each chord. It is   
					possible to play a chord using several different finger positions. For example,   
					the following three finger positions produce the same C chord.

					CARE AND MAINTENANCE   
					Your Optimus Concertmate 690 Portable Electronic Keyboard is an example of su-   
					perior design and craftsmanship. The following suggestions will help you care for the   
					Concertmate 690 so you can enjoy it for years.   
					Keep the Concertmate 690 dry. If it gets wet, wipe it dry immediately.   
					Liquids can contain minerals that corrode electronic circuits.   
					Use and store the Concertmate 690 only in normal temperature envi-   
					ronments. Temperature extremes can shorten the life of electronic   
					devices and distort or melt plastic parts.   
					Handle the Concertmate 690 gently and carefully. Dropping it can   
					damage circuit boards and cases and can cause the Concertmate   
					690 to work improperly.   
					Keep the Concertmate 690 away from dust and dirt, which can cause   
					premature wear of parts.   
					Wipe the Concertmate 690 with a damp cloth occasionally to keep it   
					looking new. Do not use harsh chemicals, cleaning solvents, or   
					strong detergents to clean your Concertmate 690.   
					Modifying or tampering with the Concertmate 690’s internal components can cause   
					a malfunction, invalidate its warranty, and void your FCC authorization to operate it.   
					If your Concertmate 690 is not performing as it should, take it to your local Ra-   
					dioShack store for assistance.
