shock, short-circuiting, damages, fire or other hazards. These precautions include, but are not limited to, the
following:
• Do not place the power cord near heat sources such as heaters or radiators. Also,
do not excessively bend or otherwise damage the cord, or place heavy objects on it.
• Only use the voltage specified as correct for the unit. The required voltage is
printed on the name plate of the unit.
• Check the electric plug periodically and remove any dirt or dust which may have
accumulated on it.

disassemble or modify the internal components in any way. If it should appear to
be malfunctioning, discontinue use immediately and have it inspected by
qualified Yamaha service personnel.
• Do not expose the unit 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
unit, turn off the power immediately and unplug the power cord from the AC
outlet. Then have the unit inspected by qualified Yamaha service personnel.
• Never insert or remove an electric plug with wet hands.

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.
