Connections
• Before connecting the instrument to other electronic components, turn off
the power for all components. Before turning the power on or off for all
components, set all volume levels to minimum. Also, be sure to set the
volumes of all components at their minimum levels and gradually raise the
volume controls while playing the instrument to set the desired listening
level.
Maintenance
• Gently remove dust and dirt with a soft cloth. Do not wipe too hard since
small particles of dirt can scratch the instrument's finish.
• When cleaning the instrument, use a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth. Do
not use paint thinners, solvents, cleaning fluids, or chemical-impregnated
wiping cloths.
Handling caution
• Take care that the key cover does not pinch your fingers, and do not insert
a finger or hand in any gaps on the key cover or instrument.
• Never insert or drop paper, metallic, or other objects into the gaps on the
key cover, panel or keyboard. If this happens, turn off the power
immediately and unplug the power cord from the AC outlet. Then have the
instrument inspected by qualified Yamaha service personnel.
• Do not place vinyl, plastic or rubber objects on the instrument, since this
might discolor the panel or keyboard.
• Bumping the surface of the instrument with metal, porcelain, or other hard
objects can cause the finish to crack or peel. Use caution.
• Do not rest your weight on, or place heavy objects on the instrument, and
do not use excessive force on the buttons, switches or connectors.
• Do not operate the instrument for a long period of time at a high or
uncomfortable volume level, since this can cause permanent hearing loss.
If you experience any hearing loss or ringing in the ears, consult a
physician.
Using the bench (If included)
• Do not place the bench in an unstable position where it might accidentally
fall over.
• Do not play carelessly with or stand on the bench. Using it as a tool or
step-ladder or for any other purpose might result in accident or injury.
• Only one person should sit on the bench at a time, in order to prevent the
possibility of accident or injury.
• If the bench screws become loose due to extensive long-term use, tighten
them periodically using the included tool.
Yamaha cannot be held responsible for damage caused by improper use or modifications to the instrument, or data that is lost or destroyed.
Always turn the power off when the instrument is not in use.
4 PRECAUTIONS
CLP-F01
Saving data
Saving and backing up your data
● Depending upon the Backup Settings (page 50), internal data is
retained for about 1 week after the power is turned off. If the
period is exceeded, the data will be lost. Be sure to turn the
power switch on for a few minutes at least once a week. The
data could be lost due to malfunction or incorrect operation.
Save important data to external media such as the Yamaha
MDF3 MIDI data filer.
Backing up the external media
●
To protect against data loss through media damage, we recom-
mend that you save your important data onto two external
media.
