Troubleshooting Please note that the appearance of any of following phenomena does not indicate a mechanical failure of the Electone. Problem Possible Cause and Solution A cracking noise is sometimes heard. Noise may be produced when either an electrical appliance is turned on or off, or an electric power tool (such as drill) is used in the proximity of the Electone. If this occurs, plug the Electone into an electrical outlet located as far as possible from the device that seems to be the source of the problem. Interference from radio, TV, or other sources This is caused by the proximity of a high-power broadcasting station occurs. or amateur ham radio setup. The sound of the Electone causes surrounding objects to resonate. Because the Electone is capable of producing powerful bass sounds, resonance may be caused in surrounding objects, such as cabinets or glass windows. To avoid this, relocate the objects or lower the Electone's volume. The Electone panel does not function normally or the content of the memorized data has changed. This happens very rarely. Occasionally, power surges and spikes due to electrical storms or other reasons may cause the Electone to malfunction and/or alter the contents of memorized data. If this happens, perform the Power On Reset operation to reset the Electone. (See page 49.)

The sound is too soft, despite the volume being set to the maximum. Check all of the volume controls, making sure that they are set to suitable levels: the panel Volume controls for each voice section, the Master Volume dial, and the Expression Pedal. Switching voices causes the volume to change, despite their having identical volume settings. The volume of certain voices may seem lower than that of others. Adjust the balance of the sound with the Volume control within the appropriate Voice Condition display. When keys on the Lower keyboard or Pedalboard are pressed, the sounds of percussion instruments are also heard. The Keyboard Percussion function has been turned on. When not using the function, be sure to turn it off. (See page 43.) Only one sound is heard when two notes of For practical performance reasons, the Electone has been the Lead or Pedal voices are simultaneously designed so that one note of the Lead or Pedal voices can be played. played at a time. If several keys are pressed at once, only the highest note will be sounded (high-note priority). 78
