Precautions

PLEASE READ ALL PRECAUTIONS BEFORE USING YOUR SU10.

NEVER switch power off while the LCD is displaying the

Keep PwrOn

mes-

sage. This message indicates that the SU10 is writing to nonvolatile memory.

Switching power off at this time may result in loss of all data in the SU10.

some cases this message may last for more than 10 seconds: this does not
indicate a problem.

Use the correct power adaptor.

Use only a Yamaha PA-3B or PA-1B power adaptor. Use of a different adaptor
type

may result in electric shock or device damage

Use 1.5V AA batteries only. Never mix old and new batteries. Never mix
battery types: be sure that batteries are either all alkaline or else all manga-
nese. Alkaline batteries are recommended

To prevent potential damage from battery leakage

, remove the batteries if

you plan to leave the SU10 unused for an extended period.

Use the correct cables. Handle cables with care.

• When disconnecting a cable, grip firmly at the connector area and pull

straight out.

• Use only high-quality MIDI cables for your MIDI connections. Cable perfor-

mance degrades as length increases: avoid cables that are longer than 15m.

Handle the SU10 with care.

• Do not drop it or otherwise subject it to severe physical impact.
• Do not leave the SU10 in a location where it may be exposed to high tem-

peratures, high humidity, extreme dust, or extreme vibration.

Do not open the casing or attempt repairs.

The SU10 contains no user-serviceable parts. Please refer all maintenance to
qualified technicians. Opening of the case will void the warranty.

Clean with soft dry cloth only.

Do not attempt to clean the SU10 with detergents or solvents, as these may
damage the casing.
