Power supply/Power cord
• Do not connect the instrument to an electrical outlet using a multiple-connector. Doing so can
result in lower sound quality, or possibly cause overheating in the outlet.
• When removing the electric plug from the instrument or an outlet, always hold the plug itself and
not the cord. Pulling by the cord can damage it.

periods of time, or during electrical storms.
Location
• Do not place the instrument in an unstable position where it might accidentally fall over.
• Before moving the instrument, remove all connected cables, to prevent damage to the cables or
injury to anyone who might trip over them.
• When setting up the product, make sure that the AC outlet you are using is easily accessible. If
some trouble or malfunction occurs, immediately turn off the power switch and disconnect the
plug from the outlet. Even when the power switch is turned off, electricity is still flowing to the
product at the minimum level. When you are not using the product for a long time, make sure to
unplug the power cord from the wall AC outlet.
• Use only the stand specified for the instrument. When attaching it, use the provided screws only.
Failure to do so could cause damage to the internal components or result in the instrument falling over.
Yamaha cannot be held responsible for damage caused by improper use or modifications to the instrument, or data that is lost or destroyed.
