from electrical shock, short-circuiting, damages, fire 
or other hazards. These precautions include, but are 
not limited to, the following:

Power supply/power cord 

•  Do not place the power 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.

•  Only use the voltage specified as correct for the device. The 

required voltage is printed on the name plate of the device.

•  Use only the supplied power cord/plug.

  If you intend to use the device in an area other than in the 

one you purchased, the included power cord may not be 

compatible. Please check with your Yamaha dealer.

•  Check the electric plug periodically and remove any dirt or 

dust which may have accumulated on it.

•  Be sure to connect to an appropriate outlet with a protective 

grounding connection. Improper grounding can result in 

electrical shock, damage to the device(s), or even fire.

Do not open

•  This device contains no user-serviceable parts.

 Do not 

open the device or attempt to disassemble the internal 

parts or modify them in any way. If it should appear to be 

malfunctioning, discontinue use immediately and have it 

inspected by qualified Yamaha service personnel.

Water warning

•  Do not expose the device to rain, use it near water or in 

damp or wet conditions, or place on it any containers (such 

as vases, bottles or glasses) containing liquids which might 

spill into any openings. If any liquid such as water seeps 

into the device, turn off the power immediately and unplug 

the power cord from the AC outlet. Then have the device 

inspected by qualified Yamaha service personnel.

•  Never insert or remove an electric plug with wet hands.

Fire warning

•  Do not put burning items, such as candles, on the unit. 

  A burning item may fall over and cause a fire.

If you notice any abnormality

•  When one of the following problems occur, immediately 

turn off the power switch and disconnect the electric plug 

from the outlet. Then have the device inspected by Yamaha 

service personnel.
- The power cord or plug becomes frayed or damaged.
- It emits unusual smells or smoke.
- Some object has been dropped into the device.
- There is a sudden loss of sound during use of the device.

•  If this device should be dropped or damaged, immediately 

turn off the power switch, disconnect the electric plug from 

the outlet, and have the device inspected by qualified 

Yamaha service personnel.

 CAUTION

Always follow the basic precautions listed below 
to avoid the possibility of physical injury to you or 
others, or damage to the device or other property. 
These precautions include, but are not limited to, 
the following:

Power supply/power cord 

•  When removing the electric plug from the device or an 

outlet, always hold the plug itself and not the cord. Pulling 

by the cord can damage it.

•  Remove the electric plug from the outlet when the device 

is not to be used for extended periods of time, or during 

electrical storms.

Location

•  Do not place the device in an unstable position where it 

might accidentally fall over.

•  Do not block the vents. 

This device has ventilation holes at 

the top/front/rear to prevent the internal temperature from 

becoming too high. In particular, do not place the device on 

its side or upside down. Inadequate ventilation can result in 

overheating, possibly causing damage to the device(s), or 

even fire.

•  Do not place the device in a location where it may come into 

contact with corrosive gases or salt air. Doing so may result 

in malfunction.

•  Before moving the device, remove all connected cables.

•  When setting up the device, make sure that the AC outlet 

you are using is easily accessible. If some trouble or 

malfunction occurs, immediately turn off the power switch 

and disconnect the plug from the outlet. Even when the 

power switch is turned off, electricity is still flowing to the 

product at the minimum level. When you are not using the 

product for a long time, make sure to unplug the power cord 

from the wall AC outlet.

•  When transporting or moving the device, always use two or 

more people. Attempting to lift the device by yourself may 

damage your back, result in other injury, or cause damage 

to the device itself.

Connections

•  Before connecting the device to other devices, turn off the 

power for all devices. Before turning the power on or off for 

all devices, set all volume levels to minimum.

Maintenance

•  Remove the power plug from the AC outlet when cleaning 

the device.

Handling caution

•  Do not insert your fingers or hands in any gaps or openings 

on the device (vents, etc.).

•  Avoid inserting or dropping foreign objects (paper, plastic, 

metal, etc.) into any gaps or openings on the device (vents, 

etc.) If this happens, turn off the power immediately and 

unplug the power cord from the AC outlet. Then have the 

device inspected by qualified Yamaha service personnel.

•  Do not rest your weight on the device or place heavy 

objects on it, and avoid use excessive force on the buttons, 

switches or connectors.

•  Do not use 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.

Backup battery

•  Do not replace the backup battery by yourself. Doing so 

may cause an explosion and/or damage to the device(s).

  If the backup battery power is fully depleted, have qualified 

Yamaha service personnel replace the battery.

Yamaha cannot be held responsible for damage caused by 

improper use or modifications to the device, or data that is 

lost or destroyed.
