Setup

Unpack the Pedal: Carefully remove the sustain pedal from its packaging.
Locate the Sustain Input: Identify the 1/4" (6.35mm) sustain pedal input jack on your electronic keyboard or digital piano. This is typically labeled 'Sustain', 'Damper', or 'Pedal'.
Connect the Pedal: Insert the 1/4" (6.35mm) input plug of the LEKATO sustain pedal firmly into the sustain input jack of your instrument.
Adjust Polarity Switch: The pedal features a polarity switch (N.O./N.C.) on its side. If the sustain effect is reversed (e.g., notes sustain when the pedal is not pressed, or do not sustain when pressed), toggle this switch to the opposite position. This ensures compatibility with various keyboard brands and models.
Position the Pedal: Place the pedal on the floor in a comfortable position for playing. The anti-slip silicone gaskets on the bottom will help stabilize the pedal during use.

Operating Instructions

Once connected, the LEKATO sustain pedal operates like a traditional piano sustain pedal. Pressing the pedal will sustain the notes played on your instrument, and releasing it will stop the sustain effect.

Sustain Effect: Press the pedal down with your foot to activate the sustain. The notes played will continue to sound even after you lift your fingers from the keys.
Release Effect: Lift your foot from the pedal to deactivate the sustain. The notes will then decay naturally.
Quick Response: The pedal is designed for quick response, ensuring that the sustain effect engages and disengages promptly with your foot movements.

Maintenance

Proper care will ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your LEKATO sustain pedal.

Cleaning: Wipe the pedal's surface with a soft, dry cloth. For stubborn dirt, a slightly damp cloth can be used, followed by immediate drying. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents.
Storage: Store the pedal in a dry environment, away from extreme temperatures and direct sunlight.
Cable Care: Avoid sharp bends or kinks in the cable. Do not pull the cable to disconnect the pedal; always grasp the plug itself.

Troubleshooting

Problem	Possible Cause	Solution
Sustain effect is reversed (e.g., always on, or off when pressed).	Incorrect polarity setting for your instrument.	Locate the N.O./N.C. polarity switch on the side of the pedal and toggle it to the opposite position. Test the pedal again.
No sustain effect when pedal is pressed.	Pedal not fully plugged in. Incorrect polarity setting. Instrument's sustain input is faulty. Damaged pedal cable or internal components.	Ensure the 1/4" plug is fully inserted into the instrument's sustain jack. Check the polarity switch (see above). Test with another known-working sustain pedal if available, or try the LEKATO pedal with another compatible instrument. If issues persist, contact customer support.
Pedal slides on the floor during use.	Insufficient grip on the floor surface.	Ensure the anti-slip silicone gaskets on the bottom of the pedal are clean and free of debris. Place the pedal on a non-slip mat if necessary.
