PRECAUTIONS

 

PLEASE READ CAREFULLY BEFORE PROCEEDING 

 

* Please keep this manual in a safe place for future reference.

 

 WARNING

 

Always follow the basic precautions listed below to avoid the possibility of serious injury or even death from electrical 
shock, short-circuiting, damages, fire or other hazards. These precautions include, but are not limited to, the 
following:

 

• Do not open the device or attempt to disassemble the internal parts or 

modify them in any way. The device contains no user-serviceable 
parts. If it should appear to be malfunctioning, discontinue use 
immediately and have it inspected by qualified Yamaha service 
personnel.

• Do not expose the device to rain, use it near water or in damp or wet 

conditions, or place containers on it containing liquids which might 
spill into any openings. If any liquid such as water seeps into the 
device, unplug the USB cable from this device immediately. Then have 
the device inspected by qualified Yamaha service personnel.

• Never insert or remove a USB cable with wet hands.

 

 CAUTION

 

Always follow the basic precautions listed below to avoid the possibility of physical injury to you or others, or damage 
to the device or other property. These precautions include, but are not limited to, the following:

 

• Before moving the device, remove all connected cables.

• Avoid setting all volume controls to their maximum. Depending on the 

condition of the connected devices, doing so may cause feedback and 
may damage the speakers.

• Do not expose the device to excessive dust or vibrations, or extreme 

cold or heat (such as in direct sunlight, near a heater, or in a car during 
the day) to prevent the possibility of panel disfiguration or damage to 
the internal components.

• Do not place the device in an unstable position where it might 

accidentally fall over.

• Do not use the device in the vicinity of a TV, radio, stereo equipment, 

mobile phone, or other electric devices. Doing so may result in noise, 
both in the device itself and in the TV or radio next to it.

• Before connecting the device to other devices, turn off the power for all 

devices. Before turning the power on or off for all devices, set all 
volume levels to minimum.

• When turning on the AC power in your audio system, always turn on 

monitor speakers LAST, to avoid speaker damage. When turning the 
power off, monitor speakers should be turned off FIRST for the same 
reason.

• Do not insert your fingers or hands in any gaps or openings on the 

device.

• Avoid inserting or dropping foreign objects (paper, plastic, metal, etc.) 

into any gaps or openings on the device. If this happens, unplug the 
USB cable from the device immediately. Then have the device 
inspected by qualified Yamaha service personnel.

• Do not use the device or headphones for a long period of time at a high 

or uncomfortable volume level, since this can cause permanent 
hearing loss. If you experience any hearing loss or ringing in the ears, 
consult a physician.

• Do not rest your weight on the device or place heavy objects on it, and 

avoid use excessive force on the buttons, switches or connectors.

Do not open
