ting Up

Make all necessary connections below BEFORE turning the power on.

Connecting Headphones
(PHONES/OUTPUT Jack)

Any pair of stereo headphones with a 1/4" stereo
phone plug can be plugged in here for convenient
monitoring. The speakers are automatically shut off
when a plug is inserted into this jack.
The PHONES/OUTPUT jack also functions as an
external output. You can connect the PHONES/OUT-
PUT jack to a keyboard amplifier, stereo system,
mixer, tape recorder, or other line-level audio device
to send the instrument’s output signal to that device.

Connecting a Footswitch
(SUSTAIN Jack)

The sustain function lets you produce a natural sustain
as you play by pressing a footswitch. A Yamaha FC4
or FC5 footswitch plugged into this jack can be used
to switch sustain on and off.

Turning the Power On

The [

](Standby/On) switch turns the power to the

instrument on (

) or standby (

). Turn down the

volume by turning the [MASTER VOLUME] control
to the left and press the [

](Standby/On) switch to

turn on the power. Press the [

](Standby/On) switch

again to turn the power off.

While playing the keyboard, adjust the volume level
by using the [MASTER VOLUME] control.

• Avoid listening with the headphones at high volume for

long periods of time; doing so may not only result in ear
fatigue, it may be damaging to your hearing.

• To prevent damage to the speakers, set the volume of the

external devices at the minimum setting before connecting
them. Failure to observe these cautions may result in elec-
tric shock or equipment damage. Also, be sure to set the
volumes of all devices at their minimum levels and gradu-
ally raise the volume controls while playing the instrument
to set the desired listening level.

WARNING

CAUTION

• The sustain function does not affect split voices.

• Make sure that the footswitch plug is properly connected

to the SUSTAIN jack before turning on the power.

• Do not press the footswitch while turning the power on.

Doing this changes the recognized polarity of the foot-
switch, resulting in reversed footswitch operation.

• Even when the switch is in the “STANDBY” position, elec-

tricity 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, and/or remove the batteries from the
instrument.

NOTE

CAUTION
