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. Also, 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.
Maintenance
• Gently remove dust and dirt with a soft cloth. Do not wipe too
hard since small particles of dirt can scratch the instrument's
finish.
• When cleaning the instrument, use a soft, dry or slightly damp
cloth. Do not use paint thinners, solvents, cleaning fluids, or
chemical-impregnated wiping cloths.
Handling caution
• Take care that the key cover does not pinch your fingers, and
do not insert a finger or hand in any gaps on the key cover or
instrument.
• Never insert or drop paper, metallic, or other objects into the
gaps on the key cover, panel or keyboard. If this happens, turn
off the power immediately and unplug the power cord from the
AC outlet. Then have the instrument inspected by qualified
Yamaha service personnel.
• Do not place vinyl, plastic or rubber objects on the instrument,
since this might discolor the panel or keyboard.
• Bumping the surface of the instrument with metal, porcelain,
or other hard objects can cause the finish to crack or peel.
Use caution.
• 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 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.
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.

Using the bench (If included)
• Do not place the bench in an unstable position where it might
accidentally fall over.
• Do not play carelessly with or stand on the bench. Using it as
a tool or step-ladder 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.
• Do not attempt to adjust the bench height while sitting on the
bench, since this can cause excessive force to be imposed on
the adjustment mechanism, possibly resulting in damage to
the mechanism or even injury.
• If the bench screws become loose due to extensive long-term
use, tighten them periodically using the included tool.
Saving data
Saving and backing up your data
• Current data (see page 48) is lost when you turn off the power
to the instrument. Save the data to a floppy disk/the storage
memory (see page 48).
Saved data may be lost due to malfunction or incorrect
operation. Save important data to a floppy disk.
Backing up the floppy disk
• To protect against data loss through media damage, we
recommend that you save your important data onto two floppy
disks.
