Always turn the power off when the instrument is not in use.
When using a power adaptor, even when the power switch is in the “STANDBY” position,
electricity is still flowing to the instrument at the minimum level. When you are not using
the instrument for a long time, make sure you unplug the AC power adaptor from the wall
AC outlet.
Make sure to discard used batteries according to local regulations.
• Do not place the instrument in an unstable position where it might accidentally fall over.
• Before moving the instrument, remove all connected adaptor and other cables.
• When cleaning the instrument, use a soft, dry cloth. Do not use paint thinners, solvents,
cleaning fluids, or chemical-impregnated wiping cloths. Also, do not place vinyl, plas-
tic or rubber objects on the instrument, since this might discolor the panel or keyboard.
• 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.
• Use only the stand specified for the instrument. When attaching the stand or rack, use
the provided screws only. Failure to do so could cause damage to the internal compo-
nents or result in the instrument falling over.
• Do not operate the instrument for a long period of time at a high or uncomfortable
volume level, since this can cause permanent hearing loss. If you experience any hear-
ing loss or ringing in the ears, consult a physician.

SAVING USER DATA
• As long as dry cell batteries are installed or the power adaptor is connected, the instru-
ment retains the internal data when the power is turned off. If you remove the batteries
and disconnect the adaptor, the data will be lost. Save important data to external media
such as the Yamaha MDF3 MIDI data filer. Keep the power adaptor connected while you
replace the batteries to prevent loss of data.
PRECAUTIONS
PLEASE READ CAREFULLY BEFORE PROCEEDING
* Please keep these precautions in a safe place for future reference.
• Do not open the instrument or attempt to disassemble the internal parts or modify them
in any way. The instrument 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 instrument 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 the AC adaptor cord or plug becomes frayed or damaged, or if there is a sudden loss
of sound during use of the instrument, or if any unusual smells or smoke should appear
to be caused by it, immediately turn off the power switch, disconnect the adaptor plug
from the outlet, and have the instrument inspected by qualified Yamaha service person-
nel.
• Use the specified adaptor (PA-3B or an equivalent recommended by Yamaha) only.
Using the wrong adaptor can result in damage to the instrument or overheating.
• Before cleaning the instrument, always remove the electric plug from the outlet. Never
insert or remove an electric plug with wet hands.
• Do not put burning items, such as candles, on the unit.
A burning item may fall over and cause a fire.
• Check the electric plug periodically and remove any dirt or dust which may have accu-
mulated on it.
CAUTION
Always follow the basic precautions listed below to avoid the possibility of physical injury to you or others, or damage to the
instrument or other property. These precautions include, but are not limited to, the following:
• Do not place the AC adaptor cord near heat sources such as heaters or radiators, and do
not excessively bend or otherwise damage the cord, place heavy objects on it, or place
it in a position where anyone could walk on, trip over, or roll anything over it.
• When removing the electric plug from the instrument or an outlet, always hold the plug
itself and not the cord.
• Do not connect the instrument to an electrical outlet using a multiple-connector. Doing
so can result in lower sound quality, or possibly cause overheating in the outlet.
• Unplug the AC power adaptor when not using the instrument, or during electrical storms.
• Always make sure all batteries are inserted in conformity with the +/- polarity markings.
Failure to do so might result in overheating, fire, or battery fluid leakage.
• Always replace all batteries at the same time. Do not use new batteries together with old
ones. Also, do not mix battery types, such as alkaline batteries with manganese batter-
ies, or batteries from different makers, or different types of batteries from the same
maker, since this can cause overheating, fire, or battery fluid leakage.
• Do not dispose of batteries in fire.
• Do not attempt to recharge batteries that are not intended to be charged.
• When the batteries run out, or if the instrument is not to be used for a long time, remove
the batteries from the instrument to prevent possible leakage of the battery fluid.
• Keep batteries away from children.
• If the batteries do leak, avoid contact with the leaked fluid. If the battery fluid should
come in contact with your eyes, mouth, or skin, wash immediately with water and con-
sult a doctor. Battery fluid is corrosive and may possibly cause loss of sight or chemical
burns.
• 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. Also, 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 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 or damage to the internal components.
• Do not use the instrument near other electrical products such as televisions, radios, or
speakers, since this might cause interference which can affect proper operation of the
other products.
