Setting Up

This section contains information about setting up your DGX-500/300 for playing. Make sure to
read this section carefully before using the instrument.

Power Requirements

Although the DGX-500/300 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.
I Using an AC Power Adaptor • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • •
q Make sure that the [STANDBY/ON] switch of the DGX-500/300 is set to
STANDBY.
w Connect the AC adaptor (PA-5D, PA-5C or other adaptor specifically recom-
mended by Yamaha) to the power supply jack.

For battery operation the DGX-500/300 requires six 1.5V "D" size, R20P (LR20)
or equivalent batteries. (Alkaline batteries are recommended.) When the batteries
need to be replaced, the volume may be reduced, the sound may be distorted, and
other problems may occur. When this happens, turn the power off and replace the
batteries, as described below
q Turn the instrument upside-down on the soft cloth, then open the battery com-
partment cover located on the instrument's bottom panel.
w Insert the six new batteries as shown in the illustration, making sure that the
positive and negative terminals are properly aligned.
e Replace the compartment cover, making sure that it locks firmly in place.

• Never interrupt the power sup-
ply (e.g. remove the batteries
or unplug the AC adaptor) dur-
ing any DGX-500/300 record
operation! Doing so can result
in a loss of data.
• Use ONLY a Yamaha PA-5D, PA-
5C AC Power Adaptor (or other
adaptor specifically recom-
mended by Yamaha) to power
your instrument from the AC
mains. The use of other adap-
tors may result in irreparable
damage to both the adaptor
and the DGX-500/300.
• Unplug the AC Power Adaptor
when not using the DGX-500/
300, or during electrical
storms.
• When the batteries run down,
replace them with a complete
set of six new batteries.
NEVER mix old and new batter-
ies.
• Do not use different kinds of
batteries (e.g. alkaline and
manganese) at the same time.
• If the instrument is not to be in
use for a long time, remove the
batteries from it, in order to
prevent possible fluid leakage
from the battery.
• Do not open the battery com-
partment cover while the
instrument is still on the stand.
Make sure to properly turn the
instrument face down when
opening the battery compart-
ment cover.
