PREPARATION
1. Press the tab on the battery com-
partment cover, then pull up to
remove the cover.
CONNECTING POWER
You can power your Concertmate 970
in any of these ways.
• Internal batteries (see “Using Bat-
teries”)
• Standard AC power using an
optional AC adapter (see “Using
AC Power” on Page 6)
2. Put the batteries in the compart-
ment as indicated by the polarity
symbols (+ and –) marked beside
the compartment .
• A vehicle’s cigarette lighter socket
using an optional DC adapter (see
“Using Vehicle Battery Power” on
Page 6)
Notes:
3. Replace the cover.
• Connecting an AC or DC adapter
automatically disconnects internal
batteries.
Notes:
• If you won’t be using the Concert-
mate 970 with batteries for a week
or more, or if you will be using
only AC or vehicle battery power,
remove the batteries.
• Always disconnect the adapter
when you finish using the Con-
certmate 970.
Using Batteries
• If the Concertmate 970 sounds
weak or does not work properly,
replace all six batteries. Do not
mix old and new batteries.
Your Concertmate 970 can use six AA
batteries (not supplied) for power. For
the best performance, we recommend
alkaline batteries, such as RadioShack
Cat. No. 23-557.
Caution: Dispose of old batteries
promptly and properly.
Cautions:
• Only use fresh batteries of the
required size and type.
• Be sure POWER/MODE is set to
OFF while you install batteries.

42-4032.fm Page 6 Wednesday, August 11, 1999 4:45 PM
2. Plug the adapter into a standard
AC outlet.
Using AC Power
You can power your Concertmate 970
from standard AC power using a 9-volt
AC adapter (not supplied), such as Ra-
dioShack Cat. No. 273-1656.
Using Vehicle Battery Power
You can power your Concertmate 970
from your vehicle’s cigarette lighter
socket using a 9-volt DC adapter (not
supplied), such as RadioShack Cat.
No. 270-1562.
Cautions:
• You must use an AC adapter that
supplies 9 volts and delivers at
least 800 milliamps. Its center tip
must be set to negative, and its
plug must correctly fit the Concert-
mate 970’s DC 9V jack. The rec-
ommended adapter meets these
specifications. Using an adapter
that does not meet these specifi-
cations could damage the Con-
certmate 970 or the adapter.

that does not meet these specifi-
cations could damage the Con-
certmate 970 or the adapter.
• Always plug the AC adapter into
the Concertmate 970 before you
plug it into the AC outlet. Always
unplug the AC adapter from the
AC outlet before you unplug it
from the Concertmate 970.
• Always plug the DC adapter into
the Concertmate 970 before you
plug it into the cigarette lighter
socket. Always unplug the DC
adapter from the cigarette lighter
socket before you unplug it from
the Concertmate 970.

Listening Safely
3. Insert the adapter’s barrel plug
into the DC 9V jack on the back of
the Concertmate 970.
To protect your hearing, follow these
guidelines when you use headphones.
4. Plug the other end of the adapter
into the vehicle’s cigarette lighter
socket.
• Set the volume to the lowest set-
ting before you begin listening.
After you begin listening, adjust
the volume to a comfortable level.
• Do not listen at extremely high
volume levels. Extended high-
volume listening can lead to per-
manent hearing loss.
CONNECTING
HEADPHONES
To listen to your Concertmate 970
without disturbing others, you can con-
nect a pair of 1/4-inch plug stereo head-
phones (not supplied). Your local
RadioShack store sells a wide selec-
tion of headphones.
• Once you set the volume, do not
increase it. Over time, your ears
adapt to the volume level, so a
volume level that does not cause
discomfort might still damage your
hearing.
To connect a pair of headphones, in-
1
sert the headphones’ /4-inch plug into
the PHONES/OUTPUT jack on the back
of the keyboard.

(maximum) polyphonic sound.
This means that you can play up

time with most of the keyboard’s
preset sounds. Many of the key-

are capable of only 6-note polyph-
ony.

3. Press START/STOP to start playing
the tune.
4. Adjust the tempo and volume as
desired.
• Most sounds on this keyboard
have been recorded and pro-
cessed using a technique called
digital sampling. To ensure a high
level of tonal quality, samples are
taken in the low, mid, and high
ranges and then combined to
sound amazingly close to the orig-
inals. You might notice very slight
differences in volume or sound
quality for some sounds when you
play them at different positions on
the keyboard. This is an unavoid-
able result of multiple sampling
and is not a malfunction.
5. Play along with the tune on the
keyboard.
You can turn the melody on
Note:
or off by repeating Step 2 even
while the current tune is playing.
USING THE PRESET
SOUNDS
Your Concertmate 970 can sound like
100 different musical instruments or
sound effects. The name and two-digit
number of each preset sound is listed
on the Concertmate 970’s top panel.
• Sounds 75–79 (which are sound
effects) do not follow the musical
scale when played, but change
effect as you play them in different
octaves on the keyboard.

You can set the Concertmate 970 to
play two different types of auto accom-
paniment using the accompaniment
keys.
Using FILL-IN
The FILL-IN feature lets you insert a
short (1- to 2-measure) variation in the
beat pattern of a selected auto-rhythm.
• Concert Chord — lets you play
chords on the accompaniment
keys using chord formations of
from one to four notes. The num-
ber of keys you press determines
the type of chord that plays (see
“Concert Chord” on Page 17).
Simply press and release SYNCHRO/
FILL-IN while the auto-rhythm is play-
ing.

• Standard Fingering — lets you
play chords on the accompani-
ment keys using standard chord
formations of three or four notes
(see “Standard Fingering” on
Page 19).
TRANSPOSE/TU
The Concertmate 970 inserts a 1- to 2-
measure variation, then the original
rhythm automatically resumes at the
end of the current measure.
Notes:
• You can use the Concertmate
970’s rhythm controls (FILL-IN and
SYNCHRO) with both types of auto
accompaniment.
USING AUTO
ACCOMPANIMENT
• After you press the auto accompa-
niment keys, the Concertmate 970
plays the same chord until you
press other keys to play a different
chord or you press START/STOP.
The 18 keys on the left side of the key-
board with note labels above them are
called accompaniment keys.

You can play the following 15 chord types on your Concertmate 970, in any key, us-
ing the standard fingering method.

Notes:
• To produce a 7, m7, M7, mM7, 9, or m9 chord, omit the finger positions shown
in parentheses.
• When producing a 7-5 or dim7 chord, the lowest note you play determines the
root of the chord. Be sure that your fingering correctly defines the root you
want.
• The diagrams above show only one possible fingering position for each chord.
It is possible to play a chord using several different positions. For example, the
following three fingering positions produce the same C chord.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Your Optimus Concertmate 970 Portable Electronic Keyboard is an example of su-
perior design and craftsmanship. The following suggestions will help you care for
your Concertmate 970 so you can enjoy it for years.
Keep the Concertmate 970 dry. If it gets wet, wipe it dry immediately.
Liquids might contain minerals that can corrode the electronic cir-
cuits.
Handle the Concertmate 970 gently and carefully. Dropping it can
damage circuit boards and cases and can cause the keyboard to
work improperly.
Use and store the Concertmate 970 only in normal temperature envi-
ronments. Temperature extremes can shorten the life of electronic
devices, damage batteries, and distort or melt plastic parts.
Keep the Concertmate 970 away from dust and dirt, which can cause
premature wear of parts.
Wipe the Concertmate 970 with a damp cloth occasionally to keep it
looking new. Do not use harsh chemicals, cleaning solvents, or
strong detergents to clean the Concertmate 970.
Modifying or tampering with the Concertmate 970’s internal components can cause
a malfunction, might invalidate its warranty, and void your FCC authorization to use
it. If your Concertmate 970 is not performing as it should, take it to your local Ra-
dioShack store for assistance.
