Precautions !! PLEASE READ THIS BEFORE PROCEEDING !!

■ Location

Do not expose the G1D to the following conditions
to avoid deformation, discoloration, or more
serious damage.

• Direct sunlight (e.g. near a window).

• High temperatures (e.g. near a heat source,
outside, or in a car during the daytime).

• Excessive humidity.

• Excessive dust.

• Strong vibration.

■ Connections

• When connecting the G1D to the Yamaha G50
Guitar MIDI Converter, be sure to use the
specified multi-pin cable (supplied with the
G50 Guitar MIDI Converter).

• Always connect the direct guitar cable (page

12), even if you don’t intend to use the direct
guitar sound. The direct guitar cable is essential
for proper grounding, to minimize noise and
prevent electric shock.

• Always unplug cables by gripping the plug
firmly, not by pulling on the cable.

• Disconnect all cables before moving the
instrument or any connected equipment.

■ Handling and Transport

• Never apply excessive force to the controls,
connectors or other parts of the instrument.

• Physical shocks caused by dropping, bumping,
or placing heavy objects on the instrument can
result in scratches and more serious damage.

• Be careful not to damage the G1D controller
when placing the guitar in a case or on a stand.

■ Cleaning

• Clean the unit with a dry soft cloth.

• A slightly damp cloth may be used to remove
stubborn grime and dirt.

• Never use cleaners such as alcohol or thinner.

■ Service and Modification

• The G1D contains no user serviceable parts.
Opening it or tampering with it in any way can
lead to irreparable damage and possibly
electric shock. Refer all servicing to qualified
YAMAHA personnel.

YAMAHA is not responsible for damage caused by improper installation, handling, or operation.
