Power Requirements
Although the instrument will run either from an
optional AC adaptor or batteries, Yamaha recommends use of an AC adaptor whenever possible. An
AC adaptor is more environmentally friendly than batteries and does not deplete resources.
Using an AC Power Adaptor
1 Make sure that the power of the instrument is off
(display is blank, except for notation staff).
• Use the specified adaptor (page 38) only. Using the
wrong adaptor can result in damage to the instrument
or overheating.
2 Connect the AC adaptor to the power supply jack.
3 Plug the AC adaptor into an AC outlet.
• 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 unplug the power cord from the wall AC outlet.
Installing the batteries
1 Make sure that the power of the instrument is off
(display is blank, except for notation staff).
2 Open the battery compartment cover located on the
instrument’s bottom panel.
3 Insert the six new batteries, being careful to follow
the polarity markings on the inside of the compartment.
4 Replace the compartment cover, making sure that it
locks firmly in place.
Using Batteries
This instrument requires six “AA” size, Alkaline
(LR6)/Manganese (R6) batteries, or rechargeable
nickel-metal hydride batteries (rechargeable Ni-MH
batteries). The Alkaline batteries or rechargeable NiMH batteries are recommended for this instrument,
since other types may result in poorer battery performance.
• When using Ni-MH batteries, follow the instructions that
came with the batteries. Use only the specified charger
device when charging.
PSR-E243/YPT-240 Owner’s Manual

• Connecting or disconnecting the power adaptor with batteries installed may turn the power off, resulting in loss of
data being recorded or transferred at the time.
When battery power becomes too low for proper operation, the volume may be reduced, the sound may be
distorted, and other problems may occur. When this
happens, make sure to replace all batteries with new
ones or already-recharged ones.
NOTE
• This instrument cannot charge the batteries. Use only the
specified charger device when charging.
• Power will be automatically drawn from the AC adaptor if an
AC adaptor is connected while batteries are installed in the
instrument.
Setting the battery type

Insert the music rest
into the slots as shown.
CAUTION
NOTICE
CAUTION
After installing new batteries and turning the power
on, make sure to set the Battery Type appropriately
(rechargeable or not) via Function number 025 (page
25).
Setting Up
• When the instrument’s sound is output to an external
device, first turn on the power to the instrument, then to
the external device. Reverse this order when you turn the
power off.
• Failure to set the Battery Type may shorten the amount of
the battery life. Make sure to set the Battery Type correctly.
Using the music rest
Connecting Headphones or External Audio Equipment
Any pair of stereo headphones with a 1/4” stereo
phone plug can be plugged in here for convenient
monitoring. The speakers are automatically shut off
when a plug is inserted into this jack.
The PHONES/OUTPUT jack also functions as an
external output. You can connect the PHONES/OUTPUT jack to a keyboard amplifier, stereo system,
mixer, tape recorder, or other line-level audio device
to send the instrument’s output signal to that device.
• 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.
• Before connecting the instrument to other electronic components, set all volume levels to the minimum, then turn
off the power for all components.
Connecting a Footswitch to the SUSTAIN jack
You can produce a natural sustain as you play by
pressing an optional Footswitch plugged into the
[SUSTAIN] jack.
NOTE
• Make sure that the footswitch plug is properly connected to
the SUSTAIN jack before turning on the power.
• Do not press the footswitch while turning the power on. Doing
this changes the recognized polarity of the footswitch, resulting in reversed footswitch operation.
Turning the Power On/Off
Turn down the [MASTER VOLUME] control to
“MIN” then press the [ ] (Standby/On) switch to
turn on the power. While playing the keyboard, adjust
the [MASTER VOLUME] control. To turn off the
power, press the [ ] (Standby/On) switch again for
a second.
While playing the keyboard, use the [MASTER VOL-
control
UME]
level.
• When using a power adaptor, even when the power is off, a
