SPECIAL MESSAGE SECTION

PRODUCT SAFETY MARKINGS: Yamaha electronic prod-
ucts may have either labels similar to the graphics shown be-
low or  molded/stamped facsimiles of these graphics on the
enclosure. The explanation of these graphics appears on this
page. Please observe all cautions indicated on this page and
those indicated in the safety instruction section.

ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES: Yamaha strives to produce
products that are both user safe and environmentally friendly.
We sincerely believe that our products and the production meth-
ods used to produce them, meet these goals. In keeping with
both the letter and the spirit of the law, we want you to be aware
of the following:

Warning: Do not attempt to recharge, disassemble, or inciner-
ate this type of battery. Keep all batteries away from children.
Dispose of used batteries promptly and as regulated by appli-
cable laws. Note: In some areas, the servicer is required by law
to return the defective parts. However, you do have the option
of having the servicer dispose of these parts for you.

Disposal Notice: Should this product become damaged beyond
repair, or for some reason its useful life is considered to be at an
end, please observe all local, state, and federal regulations that
relate to the disposal of products that contain lead, batteries,
plastics, etc.

NOTICE: Service charges incurred due to lack of knowledge
relating to how a function or effect works (when the unit is
operating as designed) are not covered by the manufacturer’s
warranty, and are therefore the owners responsibility. Please
study this manual carefully and consult your dealer before re-
questing service.

NAME PLATE LOCATION: The graphic below indicates the
location of the name plate and serial number label. Information
such as model number, power requirements, serial number, etc.,
can be found at these two locations. You should record the model
number, serial number, and the date of purchase in the spaces
provided below and retain this manual as a permanent record
of your purchase.

See rear of Amplifier for graphic symbol markings.

The exclamation point within the equi-
lateral triangle is intended to alert the
user to the presence of important oper-
ating and maintenance (servicing) in-
structions in the literature accompany-
ing the product.

The lightning flash with arrowhead sym-
bol, within the equilateral triangle, is
intended to alert the user to the presence
of uninsulated “dangerous voltage”
within the product’s enclosure that may
be of sufficient magnitude to constitute
a risk of electrical shock.

stalled and used in its normal and customary manner, all fore-
seeable risks have been eliminated. DO NOT modify this unit
