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-5D, PA-150 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. If any liquid such as water seeps into the instrument, turn off the
power immediately and unplug the power cord from the AC outlet. Then have the
instrument inspected by qualified Yamaha service personnel.
• 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

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

adequate ventilation of the internal components, and possibly result in the
instrument overheating.
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.
Maintenance
• When cleaning the instrument, use a soft, dry cloth. Do not use paint thinners,
solvents, cleaning fluids, or chemical-impregnated wiping cloths.
Handling caution
• 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. If this happens, turn off the power immediately and unplug the
power cord from the AC outlet. Then have the instrument inspected by qualified
Yamaha service personnel.
• 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 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.
Yamaha cannot be held responsible for damage caused by improper use or modifications to the instrument.
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.

Before Using
Before Using
Be sure to do the following operations BEFORE turning on the power.
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

Using an AC Power Adaptor...............................................................
1. Make sure that the [STANDBY/ON] switch
of the instrument is set to STANDBY.
WARNING
Use the specified adaptor (PA-5D, PA-150, or an equivalent recommended by Yamaha) only. The use of other adaptors may result in
irreparable damage to both the adaptor and the instrument.
2. Connect the AC adaptor to the power sup-
ply jack.
3. Plug the AC adaptor into an AC outlet.
CAUTION
Unplug the AC Power Adaptor when not using the instrument, or
during electrical storms.
CAUTION
Even when the instrument is turned 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 AC power adaptor from the wall AC outlet.

Before Using
Using Batteries ....................................................................................
1. Open the battery compartment cover
located on the instrument’s bottom panel.
2. Insert the six new alkaline batteries, being
careful to follow the polarity markings on
the side of the compartment.
3. Replace the compartment cover, making
sure that it locks firmly in place.
NOTE
For battery operation the instrument requires six 1.5V
“AA” size, LR6 or equivalent batteries. (Alkaline batteries are recommended.) 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, following the precautions listed
below.
Use alkaline batteries for this instrument. Other types of batteries
(including rechargeable batteries) may have sudden drops of power
when battery power becomes low.
Make sure to install the batteries with the proper orientation, maintaining the correct polarity (as shown). Incorrect battery installation
may result in heat, fire and/or leaking of corrosive chemicals.
When the batteries run down, replace them with a complete set of six
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.
Never connect or disconnect the AC power adaptor when the
power is on and the batteries are installed. Doing so will turn
the power off.
CAUTION
Tu rning the Power On
Press the [STANDBY/ON] switch to turn on the power.
The power indicator located to the left of the [STANDBY/ON] switch
lights up.
Pressing the switch again turns the power off.
CAUTION
When using a power adaptor, even when the power is off, a small amount of
electricity is still being consumed by the instrument. When you are not using
the instrument for a long time, make sure to unplug the AC power adaptor
from the wall AC outlet, and/or remove the batteries from the instrument.
