IMPORTANT

Check your power supply

Make sure that your local AC
mains voltage matches the volt­age specified on the name plate
on the bottom panel. In some ar­eas a voltage selector may be
provided on the bottom panel of
the main keyboard unit near the
power cord. Make sure that the
voltage selector is set for the volt­age in your area. The voltage se­lector is set at 240V when the unit
is initially shipped. To change the
setting use a “minus” screwdriver
to rotate the selector dial so that
the correct voltage appears next
to the pointer on the panel.

WICHTIG

Überprüfung der Stromversorgung

Vergewissern Sie sich vor dem An­schließen an das Stromnetz, daß die
örtliche Netzspannung den
Betriebsspannungswerten auf dem
Typenschild an der Unterseite des In­struments entspricht. In bestimmten
Verkaufsgebieten ist das Instrument
mit einem Spannungswähler an der
Unterseite neben der Netzkabel­durchführung ausgestattet. Falls vor­handen, muß der Spannungswähler
auf die örtliche Netzspannung einge­stellt werden. Der Spannungswähler
wurde werkseitig auf 240 V voreinge­stellt. Zum Verstellen drehen Sie den
Spannungsregler mit einem Schlitz­schraubendreher, bis der Zeiger auf
den korrekten Spannungswert weist.

IMPORTANT

Contrôler la source d’alimentation

Vérifiez que la tension spécifiée sur
le panneau inférieur correspond à
la tension du secteur. Dans certai­nes régions, l’instrument peut être
équipé d’un sélecteur de tension si­tué sur le panneau inférieur du cla­vier à proximité du cordon d’alimen­tation. Vérifiez que ce sélecteur est
bien réglé en fonction de la tension
secteur de votre région. Le sélec­teur de tension est réglé sur 240 V
au départ d’usine. Pour modifier ce
réglage, utilisez un tournevis à
lame plate pour tourner le sélecteur
afin de mettre l’indication corres­pondant à la tension de votre ré­gion vis à vis du repère triangulaire
situé sur le panneau.

ESPAÑOL

IMPORTANTE

Verifique la alimentación de
corriente

Asegúrese de que tensión de ali­mentación de CA de su área corres­ponde con la tensión especificada en
la placa de características del panel
inferior. En algunas zonas puede
haberse incorporado un selector de
tensión en el panel inferior de la
unidad del teclado principal, cerca del
cable de alimentación. Asegúrese de
que el selector de tensión esté
ajustado a la tensión de su área. El
selector de tensión se ajusta a 240V
cuando la unidad sale de fábrica. Para
cambiar el ajuste, emplee un destorni­llador de cabeza “recta” para girar el
selector de modo que aparezca la
tensión correcta al lado del indicador
del panel.

PRECAUTIONS

PLEASE READ CAREFULLY BEFORE PROCEEDING

* Please keep these precautions 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:

• 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.

• 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 the power 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

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:

switch, disconnect the electric plug from the outlet, and have the instrument
inspected by qualified Yamaha service personnel.

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

• Before cleaning the instrument, always remove the electric plug from the
outlet. Never insert or remove an electric plug with wet hands.

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

• Do not place the power 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.

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

• 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 outlet.

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

• 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.

• Do not expose the instrument to excessive dust or vibrations, or extreme
cold or heat (such as in direct sunlight, near a heater, or in a car during the
day) to prevent the possibility of panel disfiguration or damage to the inter­nal components.

• Do not use the instrument near other electrical products such as televisions,
radios, or speakers, since this might cause interference which can affect
proper operation of the other products.

• Do not place the instrument in an unstable position where it might acciden­tally fall over.

• Before moving the instrument, remove all connected cables.

• When cleaning the instrument, use a soft, dry cloth. Do not use paint thinners,
solvents, cleaning fluids, or chemical-impregnated wiping cloths. Also, 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.

• Take care that the key cover does not pinch your fingers, and do not insert a
finger or hand in the key cover gap.

• Never insert or drop paper or metallic or other objects between the slits of
the key cover and the keyboard. If this happens, immediately turn off the
power and remove the electric plug from the outlet and have the instrument
inspected by qualified Yamaha service personnel.

• Do not place the instrument against a wall (allow at least 3 cm/one-inch
from the wall), since this can cause inadequate air circulation, and possibly
result in the instrument overheating.

• Read carefully the attached documentation explaining the assembly pro­cess. Failure to assemble the instrument in the proper sequence might re­sult in damage to the instrument or even injury.

• Do not operate the instrument 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.

■USING THE BENCH

• Do not play carelessly with or stand on the bench. Using it as a tool or step­ladder or for any other purpose might result in accident or injury.

• Only one person should sit on the bench at a time, in order to prevent the
possibility of accident or injury.

• If the bench screws become loose due to extensive long-term use, tighten
them periodically using the included tool.

■SAVING USER DATA

• Save all data to an external device such as the Yamaha MIDI Data Filer MDF3,
in order to help prevent the loss of important data due to a malfunction or
user operating error.

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.

* The illustrations and LCD screens as shown in this owner’s manual are for instruc-

tional purposes only, and may be different from the ones on your instrument.
