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

• Do not place the USB cable near heat sources such as
heaters or radiators. Also, do not excessively bend or
otherwise damage the cable, or place heavy objects on it.

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

• Included USB cable is designed for use with only this
instrument. Do not use for any other instrument.

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

Do not open

• This instrument contains no user-serviceable parts. Do
not open the instrument or attempt to 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.

Water warning

• Do not expose the instrument 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 instrument, turn off the power
immediately and disconnect the plug from the AC outlet.
Then 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

• Use the specified USB power adaptor (page 6) only.
Using the wrong adaptor can result in damage to the
instrument or overheating.

• Do not connect the instrument to an electrical outlet using
a multipleconnector. Doing so can result in lower sound
quality, or possibly cause overheating in the outlet.

• When removing the plug from the instrument or an outlet,
always hold the plug itself and not the USB cable. Pulling
by the cable can damage it.

• Remove the plug from the outlet when the instrument is
not to be used for extended periods of time, or during
electrical storms.

Location

• 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 disconnect the plug
from the wall AC outlet.

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.

• 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 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.

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 disconnect the plug from the wall AC outlet.
