We Want You Listening For A Lifetime

Yamaha and the Electronic Industries Association’s Consumer Electronics Group want you to get the most out of your equipment by playing it at a safe level. One that lets the sound come through loud and clear without annoying blaring or distortion – and, most importantly, without affecting your sensitive hearing. Since hearing damage from loud sounds is often undetectable until it is too late, Yamaha and the Electronic Industries Association’s Consumer Electronics Group recommend you to avoid prolonged exposure from excessive volume levels.

NOTICE

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in aresidential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:

–Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

–Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.

–Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.

–Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

This equipment compiles with FCC/IC radiation exposure limits set forth for uncontrolled equipment and meets the FCC radio frequency (RF) Exposure Guidelines in Supplement C to OET65 and RSS-102 of the IC radio frequency (RF) Exposure rules. This equipment has very low levels of RF energy that it deemed to comply without maximum permissive exposure evaluation (MPE). But it is desirable that it should be installed and operated with at least 20 cm and more between the radiator and person’s body (excluding extremities: hands, wrists, feet and ankles).

This transmitter must not be co-located or operated in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.

FCC CAUTION

Change or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.

FOR CANADIAN CUSTOMERS

This Class B digital apparatus complies with Canadian ICES-003.

This device complies with Industry Canada licence-exempt RSS standard(s). Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause interference,

and (2) this device must accept any interference, including interference that may cause undesired operation of the device.

Top: 15 cm (6 in) Rear: 10 cm (4 in) Sides: 10 cm (4 in)

3Locate this unit away from other electrical appliances, motors, or transformers to avoid humming sounds.

4Do not expose this unit to sudden temperature changes from cold to hot, and do not locate this unit in an environment with high humidity (i.e. a room with a humidifier) to prevent condensation inside this unit, which may cause an electrical shock, fire, damage to this unit, and/or personal injury.

5Avoid installing this unit where foreign object may fall onto this unit and/or this unit may be exposed to liquid dripping or splashing. On the top of this unit, do not place:

–Other components, as they may cause damage and/or discoloration on the surface of this unit.

–Burning objects (i.e. candles), as they may cause fire, damage to this unit, and/or personal injury.

–Containers with liquid in them, as they may fall and liquid may cause electrical shock to the user and/or damage to this unit.

6Do not cover this unit with a newspaper, tablecloth, curtain, etc. in order not to obstruct heat radiation. If the temperature inside this unit rises, it may cause fire, damage to this unit, and/or personal injury.

7Do not plug in this unit to a wall outlet until all connections are complete.

8Do not operate this unit upside-down. It may overheat, possibly causing damage.

9Do not use force on switches, knobs and/or cords.

10When disconnecting the power cable from the wall outlet, grasp the plug; do not pull the cable.

11Do not clean this unit with chemical solvents; this might damage the finish. Use a clean, dry cloth.

12Only voltage specified on this unit must be used. Using this unit with a higher voltage than specified is dangerous and may cause fire, damage to this unit, and/or personal injury. Yamaha will not be held responsible for any damage resulting from use of this unit with a voltage other than specified.

13To prevent damage by lightning, keep the power cable disconnected from a wall outlet or this unit during a lightning storm.

–Keep the batteries in a location out of reach of children. Batteries can be dangerous if a child were to put in his or her mouth.

–If the batteries grow old, the effective operation range of the remote control decreases considerably. If this happens, replace the batteries with new one as soon as possible.

–Do not use old batteries together with new ones.

–Do not use different types of batteries (such as alkaline and manganese batteries) together. Read the packaging carefully as these different types of batteries may have the same shape and color.

–Exhausted batteries may leak. If the batteries have leaked, dispose of them immediately. Avoid touching the leaked material or letting it come into contact with clothing, etc. Clean the battery compartment thoroughly before installing new batteries.

–If you plan not to use the unit for a long period of time, remove the batteries from the unit. Otherwise, the batteries will wear out, possibly resulting in a leakage of battery liquid that may damage the unit.

–Do not throw away batteries with general house waste. Dispose of them correctly in accordance with your local regulations.

22Excessive sound pressure from earphones and headphones can cause hearing loss.

This unit is not disconnected from the AC power source as long as it is connected to the wall outlet, even if this unit itself is turned off by . In this state, this unit is designed to consume a very small quantity of power.

WARNING

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE OR ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT EXPOSE THIS UNIT TO RAIN OR MOISTURE.

CAUTION

Danger of explosion if battery is incorrectly replaced. Replace only with the same or equivalent type.
