Follow this procedure in reverse order when disconnecting the power
adaptor.
WARNING
Use the specified adaptor (or an equivalent recommended by
Yamaha). Using the wrong adaptor can result in damage to the
instrument or overheating.
CAUTION
Make sure your MOTIF-RACK XS is rated for the AC voltage
supplied in the area in which it is to be used (as listed on the
rear panel). Connecting the unit to the wrong AC supply can
cause serious damage to the internal circuitry and may even
pose a shock hazard!
CAUTION
Even when the [VOLUME] knob is in the "STANDBY" position,
electricity is still flowing to the instrument at the minimum level.
When not using the MOTIF-RACK XS for an extended period of
time, be sure to unplug the AC power adaptor from the wall AC
outlet.

Cable Clip

Wrap the DC output cable of the adaptor around the cable clip
(as shown above) to prevent accidental unplugging of the cable
during operation. Avoid tightening the cord more than
necessary or pulling on the cord strongly while it is wrapped
around the cable clip to prevent wear on the cord or possible
breakage of the clip.
Using Headphones or
Speakers
Since the MOTIF-RACK XS has no built-in speakers, you'll need
an external audio system or a set of stereo headphones to
properly monitor it. Connect a set of headphones, powered
speakers, or other playback equipment as illustrated below.
When making connections, be sure that your cables have the
appropriate ratings.
A pair of powered speakers can accurately produce the
instrument's rich sounds with their own pan and effect settings.
Connect your powered speakers to the OUTPUT L/MONO and R
jacks on the rear panel.
