Radio Shack MD-981 - Manual (Page 5)

5 Preparation
Tempo Control — lets you speed up or
slow down the tempo of any selected
music pattern.
Chord Book — lets you easily see
which keys to press and which fingers to
use to form a chord, as well as a chord’s
name.
Three Power Options — let you power
the keyboard from internal batteries (not
supplied), standard AC power (with an
optional adapter), or your vehicle’s ciga-
rette-lighter socket (with an optional
adapter) so you can make music almost
anywhere.
Notes:
• You can use an optional keyboard
stand (available at your local
RadioShack store) to mount the
keyboard.
• This Owner’s Manual explains how
to use this electronic keyboard. It
does not teach music.
