The touch pen is mounted on the side of the unit (p. 6). If any item is missing when purchased, contact the vendor who sold you the PMA-5. 3 The Power Supply Loading the Batteries Make sure the "+" and ends of the batteries are oriented correctly. Make sure the "+"and ends of the batteries are oriented correctly. When changing the batteries, replace only with six size AA alkaline batteries. Do not mix new batteries with old ones. * The continuous-usage time is approximately five hours when loaded with alkaline batteries and used at room temperature. Using an AC adaptor The BOSS PSA Series AC adaptor (sold separately) can be used to run the PMA-5 from a household electrical outlet. * Use only the AC adaptor designed for use with the PMA-5. Other adaptors may cause faulty operation or damage to the PMA-5 and must never be used. ♦ Connecting Headphones The PMA-5 has no built-in amp or speaker. It must be connected to headphones or equipment such as a keyboard amp or audio set in order to listen to the output. Plug headphones into the PHONES/LINE OUT jack. 4 On the PMA-5, this jack doubles in use for both headphones and line out. To connect the PM A-5 to a keyboard amp, audio amp, or the like, use an audio converter cable (available separately) to make the connection to the PHONES/LINE OUT jack. Use an audio converter cable designed for connecting an stereo mini jack to the input jack on the automatic equipment you're using. ♦ Switching On the Power First make sure the power to the connected amp is off, then switch on the PMA-5. * This unit is equipped with a protection circuit. A brief interval (a few seconds) after power up is required before the unit will operate normally. 5 Adjusting the Volume Use the VOLUME knob to adjust the volume. * Excessively loud volume may cause ear injury. Basic Operation of the Touch Panel Use the touch pen included with the PMA-5 to lightly touch the touch panel. Never use an ordinary pen, pencil, or other pointed object with the touch panel, or the panel may be damaged. Also, do not use excessive pressure when touching the touch panel, as this can damage it as well. O.K. • Taking Out the Touch Pen To remove the touch pen, pull it straight out from where it is mounted on the side of the PMA-5. To put it back, insert the pointed tip of the pen in the hole in the case and slide it into place. * Be sure to read through "Using the Touch Panel Correctly" in the owner's manual (p. 17). • Using the Buttons on the Touch Panel To press a button on the touch panel, gently touch the touch pen directly above the corresponding text. If the button has a border, you can touch the touch pen anywhere within the border. The buttons in the following area can also be operated by touching with your finger. MIX Ml ITP EFX i nr.
