NOTICE
To avoid the possibility of malfunction/ damage
to the product, damage to data, or damage to
other property, follow the notices below.
Handling
• Do not use the instrument in the vicinity of a TV, radio,
stereo equipment, mobile phone, or other electric
devices. Otherwise, the instrument, TV, or radio may
generate noise. When you use the instrument along with
an application on your smart device such as a
smartphone or tablet, we recommend that you enable
“Airplane Mode” on that device in order to avoid noise
caused by communication.
• Depending on the condition of surrounding radio waves,
the instrument may possibly malfunction.
• 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, damage to
the internal components or unstable operation. (Verified
operating temperature range: 5° – 40°C, or 41° – 104°F.)
• Do not place vinyl, plastic or rubber objects on the
instrument, since this might discolor the panel or
keyboard.
• Do not press the LCD screen with your finger because it
is a sensitive, precision-made part. Doing so might cause
an appearance abnormality, such as a stripe on the LCD,
although this abnormality should disappear again within
a short time.

Power Requirements
Although the instrument will run either from an 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 Adaptor
Connect the AC adaptor in the order shown in the
illustration.
• Use the specified AC adaptor (pag e 24) only. Using the
wrong AC adaptor can result in damage to the instrument
or overheating.
• When using the AC adaptor with a removable plug, make
sure to keep the plug attached to the AC adaptor. Using the
plug alone can cause electric shock or fire.
• If the plug is accidentally removed from the AC adaptor,
slide it back in until it clicks into place, taking care to
avoid touching any internal metal parts. To avoid electric
shock, short circuit or damage, also be careful that there
is no dust between the AC adaptor and plug.
Using Batteries
This instrument requires six “AA” size, Alkaline (LR6)/
Manganese (R6) batteries, or rechargeable nickelmetal hydride batteries (rechargeable Ni-MH batteries). The Alkaline batteries or rechargeable Ni-MH
batteries are recommended for this instrument, since
other types may result in poorer battery performance.
• When the batteries run out, or if the instrument is not to be
used for a long time, remove the batteries from the instrument.
1 Make sure that the power of the instrument is off.
2 Open the battery compartment cover located on
the instrument’s bottom panel.
3 Insert the six new batteries, being careful to fol-
low the polarity markings on the inside of the
compartment.
• When setting up the product, make sure that the AC outlet
you are using is easily a ccessible. If some trouble or malfunction occurs, immediately turn the power off and disconnect the plug from the outlet.
• Follow the order shown above in reverse whe n disconnecting
the AC adaptor.
PSR-E273 YPT-270 Owner’s Manual

4 Replace the compartment cover, making sure
that it locks firmly in place.
Make sure to set the battery type correctly (page 11 ).
• Connecting or disconnecting the power adaptor with batteries installed may turn the power off, resulting in loss of
data being recorded 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
NOTICE
CAUTION
NOTICE

into the slots as shown.
• This instrument cannot charge the b atteries. 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
Depending on the battery type to be used, you may
need to change the battery type setting on this instrument. Alkaline (and manganese) batteries are chosen by default. After installing new batteries and
turning the power on, make sure to set the Battery
Type appropriately (rechargeable or not) via Function
number 027 (page 23).
• Failure to set the battery type may shorten the amount of
the battery life. Make sure to set the battery type correctly.
Turning the Power On
1 Tur n down the [MASTER VOLUME] dial to “MIN.”
2

power on. The Voice name appears on the display.
Adjust the volume as desired while playing the
keyboard.
3
Press and hold the [ ](Standby/On) switch for
about a second to set the instrument to standby
mode.
Auto Power Off function
To prevent unnecessary power consumption, this
instrument features an Auto Power Off function that
automatically turns the power off if the instrument is
not operated for approximately 30 minutes by default;
however, you can change this setting (Function Number 026; page 23).
To disable the Auto Power Off function:
Tur n the power on while holding down the lowest key
on the keyboard. A message “oFF AutoOff” appears
briefly, then the instrument starts up with the Auto
Power Off function disabled.
Using the Music Rest
• Even when the [ ] (Standby/On) s witch is in standby
status, electricity is still flowing to the product at the minimum level. Remove the electric plug from the outlet when
the instrument is not to be used for extended periods of
time, or during electrical storms.
• Press only the [ ] (Standby/On) switch when turning the
power on. Any other operations such as pressing the pedal
are not allowed. Doing so may cause the instrument to
malfunction.
