Setting Up; Power Requirements - Yamaha Portable Grand DGX-230 Owner's Manual

Setting Up

Be sure to do the following operations BEFORE turning on the power.

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
Make sure that the [STANDBY/ON] switch of the
instrument is set to STANDBY.
WARNING
• Use the specified adaptor (PA-150 or an equivalent recom-
mended by Yamaha) only. The use of other adaptors may
result in irreparable damage to both the adaptor and the
instrument.
Connect the AC adaptor to the power supply jack.
Plug the AC adaptor into an AC outlet.
CAUTION
• Unplug the AC Power Adaptor when not using the instrument,
or during electrical storms.

■ Using Batteries
Open the battery compartment cover located on the
instrument's bottom panel.
Insert the six new batteries, being careful to follow
the polarity markings on the inside of the compart-
ment.
Replace the compartment cover, making sure that it
locks firmly in place.
NOTE
• Connecting the AC power adaptor automatically supplies power from
the adaptor and overrides battery power, even when batteries are
installed.
