Handling 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 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.
• When removing the electric plug from the instrument 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 instrument is not to be used for
extended periods of time, or during electrical storms.
• Do not place the instrument in an unstable position where it might accidentally
fall over.
• Before moving the instrument, remove all connected cables, to prevent damage
to the cables or injury to anyone who might trip over them.
• When setting up the product, 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.
• 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
components or result in the instrument falling over.
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.
Even when the [ ] (Standby/On) switch is in standby status (display is off), 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 power cord from the wall AC outlet.
Make sure to discard used batteries according to local regulations.
• 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.
• 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 insert a finger or hand in any gaps on the instrument.
• Never insert or drop paper, metallic, or other objects into the gaps on the panel or
keyboard. This could cause physical injury to you or others, damage to the
instrument or other property, or operational failure.
• 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.
• Do not use the instrument/device or 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.
NOTICE

Power requirements
Although the instrument will run either from an optional AC adaptor or batteries, Yamaha recommends use of an
AC adaptor whenever possible. An AC adaptor is more environmentally friendly than batteries and does not
deplete resources.
Using an AC Power Adaptor
1 Make sure that the power of the instrument is off
(display is blank, except for notation staff).
• Use the specified adaptor (page 54) only. Using the
wrong adaptor can result in damage to the instrument
or overheating.
2 Connect the AC adaptor to the DC IN 12V jack.
3 Plug the AC adaptor into an AC outlet.
• When setting up the product, 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.
2 Set the [BATTERY TYPE] switch on the rear panel
to “Ni-MH” or “ALKALINE” depending on the
battery type you are using.
• The rechargeable battery may be damaged or the battery life may be shortened if you set the [BATTERY
TYPE] switch to a position different from the actual
battery type.
3 Open the battery compartment cover located on the
instrument’s bottom panel.
Using Batteries
This instrument requires six “AA” size, Alkaline
(LR6)/Manganese (R6) batteries, or rechargeable
nickel-metal hydride batteries (rechargeable Ni-MH
batteries). The Alkaline batteries or rechargeable NiMH batteries are recommended for this instrument,
since other types may result in poorer battery performance.
• When using Ni-MH batteries, follow the instructions that
came with the batteries. Use only the specified charger
device when charging.
1 Make sure that the power of the instrument is off
(display is blank, except for notation staff).

EZ-220 Owner’s Manual
4 Insert the six new batteries, being careful to follow
the polarity markings on the side of the compartment.
5 Replace the compartment cover, making sure that it
locks firmly in place.
• Never connect or disconnect the AC power adaptor
when the batteries are installed and the power is on.
Doing so will turn the power off, and may cause the
settings to be initialized.

NOTICE
CAUTION
NOTICE
When battery power becomes too low for proper operation, the volume may be reduced, the sound may be
distorted, and other problems may occur.
When this happens, make sure to replace all batteries
with new ones or already-recharged ones.
• This instrument cannot charge the batteries. Use only the
specified charger device when charging.
• Power will be automatically drawn from the AC adaptor if an
AC adaptor is connected while batteries are installed in the
instrument.
Turning the power on/off
To turn on the power, press the [ ] (Standby/On)
switch. To turn off the instrument, press and hold the
[ ] (Standby/On) switch again for more than a second.
• Even when the power switch is turned off (the display is
blank), 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,
and remove all the batteries from the instrument.
Auto Power Off
Disabling Auto Power Off (simple method)
Turn the power on while holding down the lowest key on the
keyboard. An “oFF AutoOff” indication appears briefly and
Auto Power Off is disabled.
• Depending on the instrument status, the power may not
turn off automatically, even after the specified period of
time elapses. Always turn off the power manually when the
instrument is not in use.
• When the instrument is not operated for a specified period
of time while connected to an external device such as an
amplifier, speaker or computer, make sure to follow the
instructions in the Owner’s Manual for turning off the
power to the instrument and the connected devices, in
order to protect the devices from damage. If you do not
want the power to turn off automatically when a device is
connected, disable Auto Power Off.
Connecting headphones and
external audio equipment
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/OUTPUT jack to a keyboard amplifier, stereo system or
other line-level audio device to send the instrument’s
output signal to that device.
To prevent unnecessary power consumption, this
instrument features an Auto Power Off function that
automatically turns the power off if the instrument is
not operated for approximately 30 minutes. If you do
not want to use the Auto Power Off function, disable
the function as described below. Please note that the
