PRECAUTIONS

PLEASE READ CAREFULLY BEFORE PROCEEDING

* Please keep these precautions in a safe place for future reference.

WARNING

Always follow the basic precautions listed below to avoid the possibility of serious injury or even death from

electrical shock, short-circuiting, damages, fire or other hazards. These precautions include, but are not limited

to, the following:

• 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 personnel.

• 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.

• Check the electric plug periodically and remove any dirt

or dust which may have accumulated 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.

• 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.

• Do not place the instrument in an unstable position where

it might accidentally fall over.

(3)-6

• 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, plastic 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 rack specified for the instrument. When

attaching the rack, use the provided screws only. Failure

to do so could cause damage to the internal components

or result in the instrument falling over.

• Do not place objects in front of the instrument's air vent,

since this may prevent adequate ventilation of the

internal components, and possibly result in the

instrument overheating.

• 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

hearing loss or ringing in the ears, consult a physician.

Yamaha cannot be held responsible for damage

caused by improper use or modifications to the

instrument, or data that is lost or destroyed.

Always turn the power off when the instrument is not in use.
