Getting Ready to Play

Preparing the Music Stand

Music stand

Using Batteries
Be sure to turn off power before loading batteries. It is up to you to prepare six commercially available D-size batteries. Do not use oxyride batteries or any other nickel based batteries.
1. Open the battery cover on the bottom of the

Digital Keyboard.

Power Supply
Either an AC adaptor or batteries can be used to power this Digital Keyboard. Normally, use of AC adaptor power is recommended. The AC adaptor does not come with this Digital Keyboard. Purchase it separately from your retailer. See page E-3 for information about options.
2. Load six D-size batteries into the battery

compartment.

Make sure the positive + and negative - ends of the batteries are facing as shown in the illustration.

Using the AC Adaptor

Use the AC adaptor when you want to power the Digital Keyboard from a household electrical outlet. Specified AC Adaptor: AD-5 (WK-200) AD-12 (WK-500)
DC 9V terminal (WK-200) DC 12V terminal (WK-500)
3. Insert the tabs of the battery cover into the
holes on the side of the battery compartment, and close the cover.

AC adaptor

Household power outlet
Be sure to turn off Digital Keyboard power before connecting or disconnecting the AC adaptor.

Low Battery Indication

The indicator shown below starts to flash to let you know when battery power is low. Replace the batteries with new ones.

Changing the Metronome Tempo
Use the following procedure to change the tempo of the metronome.

Start/Stop

1. Press bo.
Use y (slower) and t (faster) to change the tempo setting. Holding down either button changes the setting at high speed. Pressing t and y at the same time will initialize the tempo setting in accordance with the currently selected song or rhythm. Pressing bo causes the tempo value to flash on the display. While the tempo value is flashing, you can use bs (10-key) to change it. Note that you must input leading zeros, so 89 is input as 089. The tempo value will stop flashing if you do not perform any operation for a short while.

1. Press 7.

This starts the metronome.
This pattern changes with each beat.
2. Press 7 again to stop the metronome.
Changing the Beats Per Measure

Tempo value (flashes)

You can configure the metronome to use a bell sound for the first beat of each measure of the song you are playing. You can specify 0, or a value from 2 to 6 as the number of beat per measure. When playing a built-in song, the beats per measure setting (which determines when the bell sounds) is configured automatically for the currently selected song.
Changing the Metronome Sound Volume
The metronome volume setting is changed automatically with the volume level of the currently selected Auto Accompaniment or song. The metronome volume cannot be adjusted independently. For information about changing the Auto Accompaniment volume, see page E-40. For information about changing the song volume, see page E-28.

1. Hold down 7 until the beats per measure
setting screen appears on the display.
If you do not perform any operation for a few seconds after the beats per measure setting screen appears, the display will return to the screen displayed before you pressed 7.
You cannot adjust the balance between the metronome and note volume during Auto Accompaniment and built-in tune play.
2. Use bs (10-key) to enter the number of beats

per measure.

The bell will not sound if you specify 0 for this setting. In this case, all beats are indicated by a click sound. This setting lets you practice with a steady beat, without worrying how many beats there are in each measure.

SD Memory Card and Card Slot Precautions
When using an SD memory card, make sure you observe all of the precautions in the instructions that come with it. SD memory cards have a write-protect switch that you can use to protect against accidental deletion of data. Avoid using an SD memory card under the following conditions. Such conditions can corrupt data stored on the memory card. Areas subjected to high temperature, high humidity, and corrosive gas Areas subjected to strong electrostatic charge and digital noise Never touch the contacts of an SD memory card when loading it or removing it from the Digital Keyboard. While data is being stored to or recalled from an SD memory card, never perform any other Digital Keyboard operation or remove the SD memory card. Doing so can corrupt the data on the card and damage the card slot. Never insert anything besides an SD memory card into the card slot. Doing so creates the risk of malfunction. Electrostatic charge discharging from your fingers or the SD memory card to the card slot can cause malfunction of the Digital Keyboard. If this happens, turn the Digital Keyboard off and then back on again. An SD memory card can become quite warm after very long use in the SD memory card slot. This is normal and does not indicate malfunction.

Introduction

What is Data Manager?

Data Manager is music data management software that you can run on your PC to perform the following three tasks. Save Instrument* data to a PC (page 12). Copy PC data to the Instrument* (page 13). Delete Instrument* data (page 14). * Instrument in this Users Guide refers to one of the following CASIO electronic musical instruments.
CTK-4000, CTK-5000, LK-205, LK-270, WK-200, WK-500, CDP-200R
Data Manager does not support saving of songs added to the Instruments Song Bank (User Songs) to a PC. Do not use other applications or disconnect the USB cable while Data Manager is running. Doing so not only will cause Data Manager to operate abnormally, it also can corrupt data and cause malfunction of the Instrument and/or your PC.

Getting Ready

1. Connect the Instrument to your PC in accordance with the instructions in the Instruments users guide.
Be sure to follow the instructions in the Instruments users guide carefully. Incorrect connections can make data copy and save impossible. Connect only one Instrument at a time. Data Manager will not operate correctly if multiple Instruments are connected.
2. Download the Data Manager software file from the CASIO website to your PCs hard disk. 3. Double-click the file you downloaded.
This will expand the compressed file and create a file named CASIO DataManager50 on your PCs hard disk. This completes the preparation phase for running Data Manager.
