PRECAUTIONS

PLEASE READ CAREFULLY BEFORE PROCEEDING

* Please keep this manual 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:

Power supply/AC power adaptor

• Only use the voltage specified as correct for the instrument.
The required voltage is printed on the name plate of the
instrument.

• Use the specified adaptor (PA-3C or an equivalent
recommended by Yamaha) only. Using the wrong adaptor can
result in damage to the instrument or overheating.

• Check the electric plug periodically and remove any dirt or
dust which may have accumulated on it.

• 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.

Do not open

• 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.

Water warning

• 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.

• 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

• 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.

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:

Power supply/AC power adaptor

• When removing the electric plug from the instrument or an
outlet, always hold the plug itself and not the cord.

• Unplug the AC power adaptor when not using the instrument,
or during electrical storms.

• 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.

Battery

• Always make sure all batteries are inserted in conformity with
the +/- polarity markings. Failure to do so might result in
overheating, fire, or battery fluid leakage.

• Always replace all batteries at the same time. Do not use new
batteries together with old ones. Also, do not mix battery
types, such as alkaline batteries with manganese batteries, or

batteries from different makers, or different types of batteries
from the same maker, since this can cause overheating, fire,
or battery fluid leakage.

• Do not dispose of batteries in fire.

• Do not attempt to recharge batteries that are not intended to
be charged.

• When the batteries run out, or if the instrument is not to be
used for a long time, remove the batteries from the instrument
to prevent possible leakage of the battery fluid.

• Keep batteries away from children.

• If the batteries do leak, avoid contact with the leaked fluid. If
the battery fluid should come in contact with your eyes,
mouth, or skin, wash immediately with water and consult a
doctor. Battery fluid is corrosive and may possibly cause loss
of sight or chemical burns.

Location

• 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

Maintenance

• When cleaning the instrument, use a soft, dry cloth. Do not
use paint thinners, solvents, cleaning fluids, or chemical­impregnated wiping cloths.

panel disfiguration or damage to the internal components.

• Do not use the instrument in the vicinity of a TV, radio, stereo
equipment, mobile phone, or other electric devices.
Otherwise, the instrument, TV, or radio may generate noise.

• Do not place the instrument in an unstable position where it
might accidentally fall over.

• Before moving the instrument, remove all connected adaptor
and other cables.

Connections

• 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.

Handling caution

• 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.

• 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.

Saving data

Saving and backing up your data

• Data in the instrument’s internal memory can be lost due to
operational errors or malfunction. Be sure to save any
important data to external media via a computer connected to
the instrument. (page 30)

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.

When using a power adaptor, even when the power switch is in the “STANDBY” position, 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 AC power adaptor from the wall
AC outlet.

Make sure to discard used batteries according to local regulations.

Power Requirements

Although the instrument will run either from the supplied AC adaptor or optional
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

Make sure that the [STANDBY/ON] switch
of the instrument is set to STANDBY.

WARNING

• Use ONLY a Yamaha PA-3C AC Power Adaptor
(or other adaptor specifically recommended by
Yamaha) to power your instrument from the AC
mains. The use of other adaptors may result in
irreparable damage to both the adaptor and the
instrument.

Connect the AC adaptor (PA-3C or other
adaptor specifically recommended by
Yamaha) to the power supply jack.

Plug the AC adaptor into an AC outlet.

NOTE

• Connecting the AC adaptor automati­cally supplies from the adaptor and bat­tery even when batteries are installed.

CAUTION

• Unplug the AC Power Adaptor when not using
the instrument, or during electrical storms.

Using the Batteries

Using a coin or screwdriver open the
battery compartment located on the bottom
of the instrument.

Insert four new alkaline batteries, being
careful to follow the polarity markings as
shown below.

Replace the compartment cover, making
sure that it locks firmly in place.

EZ-TP Owner’s Manual

For battery operation the instrument requires
four 1.5V “AA” size, LR6 or equivalent bat­teries. (Alkaline batteries are recommended.)
When the batteries run low and the battery
voltage drops below a certain level, the instru­ment may not sound or function properly. As
soon as this happens, make sure to replace all
batteries, following the precautions listed
below.

CAUTION

• Be sure to observe the +/- polarity markings,
and install the batteries with the proper orien­tation. Improper battery orientation can result
in overheating, fluid leakage, and possibly fire.

• When the batteries run down, replace them
with a complete set of four new batteries.
NEVER mix old and new batteries. Do not use
different kinds of batteries (e.g. alkaline and
manganese) at the same time.

• If the instrument is not to be in use for a long
time, remove the batteries from it, in order to
prevent possible fluid leakage from the battery.

•Always use the AC power adaptor when using
the Song Filer application to load song data
into the EZ-TP. The Song Filer will not function
when battery power is used.
