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.

Battery

•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.

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.

Make sure to discard used batteries according to local regulations.
