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:
• 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.
• 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.
• 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.
• Never insert or remove a plug with wet hands.
• Do not put burning items, such as candles, on the unit. A burning item
may fall over and cause a fire.
• Magnetism may affect electro-medical devices.
- Do not use this product near medical devices or inside areas in
which the use of radio waves is restricted.
- Do not use this product within 15cm (6 in.) of persons with a heart
pacemaker or defibrillator implant.
• Follow the precautions below. Failure to do so might result in
explosion, fire, overheating or battery fluid leakage.
- Do not tamper with or disassemble batteries.
- Do not dispose of batteries in fire.
- Do not attempt to recharge batteries that are not designed to be
charged.
- Keep the batteries separate from metallic objects such as necklaces,
hairpins, coins, and keys.
- Use the specified battery type (page 11) only.
- Use new batteries, all of which are the same type, same model, and
made by the same manufacturer.
- Always make sure all batteries are inserted in conformity with the +/-
polarity markings.
- When the batteries run out, or if the instrument is not to be used for a
long time, remove the batteries from the instrument.
- When using Ni-MH batteries, follow the instructions that came with
the batteries. Use only the specified charger device when charging.
• Keep batteries away from small children who might accidentally
swallow them.
• 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.
• When one of the following problems occur, immediately turn off the
power switch and disconnect the plug from the outlet. (If you are using

Handling 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:
• 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.
• 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.
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.
Make sure to discard used batteries according to local regulations.
DMI-7
• 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.
• 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

Thank you for selecting a Yamaha product. Yamaha products are designed and manufactured to provide a high level of defect-free
performance. Yamaha Corporation of America (“Yamaha”) is proud of the experience and craftsmanship that goes into each and every Yamaha
product. Yamaha sells its products through a network of reputable, specially authorized dealers and is pleased to offer you, the Original Owner,
the following Limited Warranty, which applies only to products that have been (1) directly purchased from Yamaha’s authorized dealers in the
fifty states of the USA and District of Columbia (the “Warranted Area”) and (2) used exclusively in the Warranted Area. Yamaha suggests that
you read the Limited Warranty thoroughly and invites you to contact your authorized Yamaha dealer or Yamaha Customer Service if you have
any questions.
Coverage: Yamaha will, at its option, repair or replace the product covered by this warranty if it becomes defective, malfunctions or
otherwise fails to conform with this warranty under normal use and service during the term of this warranty, without charge for labor or materials.
Repairs may be performed using new or refurbished parts that meet or exceed Yamaha specifications for new parts. If Yamaha elects to
replace the product, the replacement may be a reconditioned unit. You will be responsible for any installation or removal charges and for any
initial shipping charges if the product(s) must be shipped for warranty service. However, Yamaha will pay the return shipping charges to any

or acts of God; or (f) RFI/EMI (Interference/noise) caused by improper grounding or the improper use of either certified or uncertified equipment,
if applicable. Any evidence of alteration, erasing or forgery of proof-of-purchase documents will cause this warranty to be void. This warranty
covers only the Original Owner and is not transferable.
