Result: MB Tutor will speak battery status information


Keyboard unit

Action: Press chord K (space-dots 2,4,5,6)
Result: Beep codes are emitted from built in speaker

  • lower pitch beeps sounding first:
  • 4 short - the battery is charged in more than 80%
  • 3 short - the battery is charged in more than 50% but less than 80%
  • 2 short - the battery is charged in more than 20% but less than 50%
  • 1 long - the battery is charged less than 20%
  • higher pitch beeps sounding after the lower pitch beeps:
  • single - charging
  • battery fully charged
Note

The keyboard beeps will sound even if there is no connection to the main unit.
