1 2

Insert the line cord into the line receptacle on the back of the TS-10 (2), next to the power switch

(1). Plug the other end of the cable into a grounded AC outlet. The proper voltage for your TS-10

is listed on the Serial Number label on the rear panel. Turn the TS-10 power on and make sure

the display lights up. If not, check your connections and power source. The first thing the TS-10

does when it starts up is calibrate the keyboard. Be sure not to touch the keyboard while the

display reads CALIBRATING KEYBOARD - DO NOT TOUCH.

Note: Because the TS-10 can automatically load Sampled Sounds previously loaded from a connected

SCSI Storage Device, we recommend powering on the SCSI Storage Device(s) first before

powering on the TS-10.

Power — Polarization and Grounding

Like many modern electrical devices, your ENSONIQ product has a three-prong power cord with

earth ground to ensure safe operation. Some products have power cords with only two prongs

and no earth ground. To ensure safe operation, modern products with two-prong power cords

have polarized plugs which can only be inserted into an outlet the proper way.

Some products, such as older guitar amplifiers, do not have polarized plugs and can be

connected to an outlet incorrectly. This may result in dangerous high voltages on the audio

connections that could cause you physical harm or damage any properly grounded equipment to

which they are connected, such as your ENSONIQ product.

To avoid shock hazards or equipment damage, we recommend the following precautions:

• If you own equipment with two pronged power cords, check to see if they are polarized or

non-polarized. You might consider having an authorized repair station change any non-

polarized plugs on your equipment to polarized plugs to avoid future problems.

• Exercise caution when using extension cords or plug adapters. Proper polarization should

always be maintained from the outlet to the plug. The use of polarized extension cords and

adapters is the easiest way to maintain proper polarity.

• Whenever possible, connect all products with grounded power cords to the same outlet

ground. This will ensure a common ground level to prevent equipment damage and

minimize hum in the audio output.

AC outlet testers are available from many electronic supply and hardware stores. These can be

used to check for proper polarity of outlets and cords.
