What should I do if no sound is coming from the speakers?

First, ensure that the volume is turned up. Next, check that the headphones are not plugged in, as this mutes the speakers. If the problem persists, verify that the speaker switch on the rear panel is set to "On" and that all cables are properly connected.

To clean the keys, use a soft, dry cloth to gently wipe them. For deeper cleaning, slightly dampen the cloth with water or a mild detergent solution. Avoid using alcohol-based cleaners, and ensure the cloth is not too wet to prevent moisture from seeping into the instrument.

Press the "Function" button and navigate to "Touch Sensitivity" settings. You can choose from different sensitivity options such as "Light," "Medium," or "Heavy" to suit your playing style. Confirm your selection by pressing "Enter."
