Location
• Do not place the device in an unstable position where it might
accidentally fall over and cause injuries.
• Do not block the vents. This device has ventilation holes at the
rear/under the front to prevent the internal temperature from
becoming too high. In particular, do not place the device on
its side or upside down. Inadequate ventilation can result in
overheating, possibly causing damage to the device(s), or
even fire.
• Do not place the device in a location where it may come into
contact with corrosive gases or salt air. Doing so may result in
malfunction.
• Avoid being near the device during a disaster, such as an
earthquake. Since the device may turn over or fall and cause
injury, stay away from the device quickly and move to a safe
place.
• Before moving the device, remove all connected cables.
• When transporting or moving the device, always use four or
more people. This device must be lifted by a group of four or
more people. Otherwise, personal injuries, such as back or
shoulder injuries, or damage to the device may result.
• Keep device away from the reach of children.
Maintenance
• Remove the power plug from the AC outlet when cleaning the
device.
Handling caution
• Do not insert your fingers or hands in any gaps or openings on
the device (vents, panel, etc.).
• Avoid inserting or dropping foreign objects (paper, plastic,
metal, etc.) into any gaps or openings on the device (vents,
panel, etc.) If this happens, immediately turn off the power,
unplug the power cord from the AC outlet, and have the
device inspected by qualified Yamaha service personnel.
• Do not rest your weight on the device or place heavy objects
on it. Avoid applying excessive force to the buttons, switches
or connectors to prevent injuries.
Make sure that the front end
of the table will remain under
the front stabilizer legs.
• Avoid pulling the connected cables to prevent injuries or
damage to the device by causing it to fall.
Backup battery
• Do not replace the backup battery by yourself. Doing so may
cause an explosion and/or damage to the device(s).
If the backup battery power is fully depleted, contact your
Yamaha dealer and have qualified Yamaha service personnel
replace the backup battery.
Yamaha cannot be held responsible for damage caused by
improper use or modifications to the device, or data that is
lost or destroyed.
NOTICE
To avoid the possibility of malfunction/ damage to the
product, damage to data, or damage to other property,
follow the notices below.
Handling and maintenance
• Do not use the device in the vicinity of a TV, radio, AV
equipment, mobile phone, or other electric devices.
Otherwise, the device, TV, or radio may generate noise.
• Do not expose the device to excessive dust or vibration, or
extreme cold or heat (such as in direct sunlight, near a heater,
or in a car during the day), in order to prevent the possibility of
panel disfiguration, unstable operation, or damage to the
internal components.
• Do not place vinyl, plastic or rubber objects on the device,
since this might discolor the panel.
• When cleaning the device, use a dry and soft cloth. Do not
use paint thinners, solvents, cleaning fluids, or chemical-
impregnated wiping cloths.
• Condensation can occur in the device due to rapid, drastic
changes in ambient temperature—when the device is moved
from one location to another, or air conditioning is turned on or
off, for example. Using the device while condensation is
present can cause damage. If there is reason to believe that
condensation might have occurred, leave the device for
several hours without turning on the power until the
condensation has completely dried out.
• During extreme changes in temperature or humidity,
condensation may occur and water may collect on the surface
of the device. If water is left, the wooden parts may absorb the
water and be damaged. Make sure to wipe any water off
immediately with a soft cloth.
• Do not apply oil, grease, or contact cleaner to the faders.
Doing so may cause problems with electrical contact or fader
motion.
• Even when the [ ] (Standby/On) switch is in standby status
(power lamp is off/ display is off), electricity is still flowing to
the instrument at the minimum level. When you are not using
the instrument for a long time, make sure you unplug the
power cord from the wall AC outlet.
Saving data
• This device has a built-in backup battery that maintains clock
data even when the device's power is switched off. The
backup battery will eventually become depleted, however,
and when that happens the clock data will be lost. To prevent
loss of data be sure to replace the backup battery before it
becomes fully depleted. If you need to replace the backup
battery, then have qualified Yamaha service personnel replace
the backup battery. The average life of the internal backup
battery is approximately 5 years, depending on operating
conditions.
