Owner’s Manual
• Though the wooden parts of this instrument have been designed and produced
with care concerning the environment and human health, in some rare instances
customers may sense an unusual odor or develop irritation in the eyes, due to the
coating material and adhesive.
To avoid this, we recommend that you observe the following:
1. Specially ventilate the room for several days after unpacking and installing this
instrument, since it has been packed in airtight conditions in order to maintain
quality during transportation.
2. If the room housing the instrument is small, continue to ventilate it normally,
either daily or periodically.
3. If you have left the instrument in a closed room for a long time under high
temperature, ventilate the room, then lower the temperature if possible, before
using the instrument.
• Before connecting the instrument to other electronic components, turn off the
power for all components. Before turning the power on or off for all components,
set all volume levels to minimum.
• Be sure to set the volumes of all components at their minimum levels and
gradually raise the volume controls while playing the instrument to set the desired
listening level.
• Do not insert a finger or hand in any gaps on the fallboard or instrument. Also
take care that the fallboard does not pinch your finger.
• Do not apply excessive force when closing the fallboard.
A fallboard equipped with the SOFT-CLOSE™ mechanism closes the cover
slowly. Applying excessive force to the fallboard when closing it could damage
the SOFT-CLOSE™ mechanism, and possibly result in injury to your hands and
fingers caught under the closing fallboard.
• Never insert or drop paper, metallic, or other objects into the gaps on the
fallboard, panel or keyboard. This could cause physical injury to you or others,
damage to the instrument or other property, or operational failure.
• Do not rest your weight on, or place heavy objects on the instrument, and do not
use excessive force on the buttons, switches or connectors.
• Do not use the instrument/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 place the bench in an unstable position where it might accidentally fall
over.
• Do not play carelessly with or stand on the bench. Using it as a tool or stepladder
or for any other purpose might result in accident or injury.
• Only one person should sit on the bench at a time, in order to prevent the
possibility of accident or injury.
• For benches that can be adjusted, do not adjust the bench height while sitting on
the bench, since this can cause excessive force to be imposed on the adjustment
mechanism, possibly resulting in damage to the mechanism or even injury.
• If the bench screws become loose due to extensive long-term use, tighten them
periodically using the specified tool in order to prevent the possibility of accident
or injury.
• Keep special watch over any small children so that they don’t fall off the rear of the
bench. Since the bench does not have a backrest, unsupervised use may result in
accident or injury.
Always turn the power off when the instrument is not in use.
NOTICE
To avoid the possibility of malfunction/ damage to the product, damage to data, or damage to other property, follow the notices below.
Handling
• Do not use the instrument in the vicinity of a TV, radio, stereo equipment, mobile phone, or other electric devices. Otherwise, the instrument, TV, or radio
may generate noise. When you use the instrument along with an application on your iPad, iPhone or iPod touch, we recommend that you set “Airplane
Mode” to “ON” on that device in order to avoid noise caused by communication.
• Do not expose the instrument 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, damage to the internal components or unstable operation. (Verified operating temperature range: 5° –
40°C, or 41° – 104°F.)
• Do not place vinyl, plastic or rubber objects on the instrument, since this might discolor the panel or keyboard.
• Bumping the surface of the instrument with metal, porcelain, or other hard objects can cause the finish to crack or peel. Use caution.
Maintenance
• When cleaning the instrument, use a soft and dry/slightly damp cloth. Do not use paint thinners, solvents, alcohol, cleaning fluids, or chemical-
impregnated wiping cloths.
• Gently remove dust and dirt with a soft cloth. Do not wipe too hard since small particles of dirt can scratch the instrument's finish.
• During extreme changes in temperature or humidity, condensation may occur and water may collect on the surface of the instrument. If water is left, the
wooden parts may absorb the water and be damaged. Make sure to wipe any water off immediately with a soft cloth.
Saving data
• Some of the data of this instrument (page 40) are retained when the power is turned off. However, the saved data may be lost due to some failure, an
operation mistake, etc.
• The Song data saved to the internal memory of this instrument (page 34) are retained when the power is turned off. However, the saved data may be lost
due to some failure, an operation mistake, etc. Save your important data onto USB flash drive/an external device such as a computer (pages 38, 43).
Before using a USB flash drive, make sure to refer to page 36.
• To protect against data loss through USB flash drive damage, we recommend that you save your important data onto spare USB flash drive or an external
device such as a computer as backup data.
