Setting the VIK voltage selector

For this module you won't need to touch the VIK voltage selector switch, it can be on either 5V or NC. The 5V is not connected on the module.

Installing the module

You will need your keyboard, the display module, the flat cable, two screws and the included 1.5mm Allen key. You will also need a non-conductive tool to open and close the VIK connector. This can be a spudger, guitar pick, plastic screwdriver, your fingernail or something similar.
